11/5/06 10:32 pmPresent time – I remember now why I made this journal. Nothing seriously bad has happened really, so I’ve not updated in a while. But then something did so… If things really become a problem I’ll post this on my regular journal by way of explanation to my friends. However, I don’t really want people I know and see every day to know at the moment. I don’t want to seem melodramatic or anything. 05/11/06 – 01:06pm I must look truly hideous right now but I don’t really care. Mum’s left. She grabbed her bag and her keys and left and I’m scared because she’d had a lot to drink tonight and I just don’t want her to hurt anyone. We had Catherine and David over and we did fireworks and everything was fun and nice and then there were just so many bottles of wine and she started making assumptions, many regarding me. I didn’t insinuate she had had too much. When we moved onto the third bottle I said she already had wine in her glass: finish it. This got twisted into her having had too much to drink. She screamed at us when Catherine and David left and Dad yelled back and I sat in the corner for as long as I could but for most of the evening I had been trying to not grab the edges of her face and pull really hard until everything came off but I didn’t because that would not be a good thing so I waited until I couldn’t bear in anymore. I’ve been crying half an hour straight, I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense but I can’t stop. I don’t want to stop because if I do stop I’ll have to think and I don’t want to because it scares me so badly. I don’t’ even know where Dad is. I don’t know if he tried to follow her, and Matt isn’t here and there’s no one I can talk to and I’m so scared and I don’t’ want to go out of my room because I’m scared. And I want to scream but I can’t I’m just stuck with crying and twisting my face really strangely… I really wish she wouldn’t drink so much but right now all I want is for her to come home safe that’s all. HALF AN HOUR LATER Matt came back and gave me hugs and I’ve calmed down a little, if not by much. You can tell I’m a bit highly-strung because of how fast I’m typing this. Seriously. Like whoa. So armed with water, tissues and loud music (because Matt and Dad are watching a film downstairs I’d really rather not watch and I’d rather be alone anyways) I’m going to try to bump up my NaNo word count. In the meantime I’m still debating whether or not to post this. It depends, really, on how things go in the next few days. We’ll see, I guess. I’m still a bit liable to burst into tears at anytime. FIFTY MINUTES LATER (AFTER THE FIRST HALF-HOUR) There was noise on the stairs; I can’t decide if it was Matt or Dad or her, but I don’t want to talk to her right now. I don’t even want to see her face. Nano wordcount is up to 1400. It wasn’t her, it was Dad. Want to go on the internet, but can’t, just in case there’s a call. I wonder who she went to. TEN MINUTES Realise I don’t actually like having people around me when I’m having a moment. Althogh I feel horrible and desperate and sad, I need to get it out alone. Being around people makes me feel like I have to calm down, for their sake, to make them feel like they’re doing something for me. Doesn’t help, really. I need to get some shoes for Titania. We have a shoot on Monday. 15:35 Slept until about 12, but didn’t budge from my bed til now. Someone came up and had a shower about half two. I went down to talk to Dad but she was in the front room so – huh, no chance. I don’t know if I’m angry with her or not. I just don’t want to talk to her right now, because I really don’t think I can. Anyway, I have the cat for company. |
