I'm home
Home. It feels strange to be here after being away for so long. For the most part, everything looks the same - the furniture's how I remember it, and those same silky curtains are up in the living room. All those pictures of us kids are still propped up on the mantle and on the piano. But it feels...different. I guess I've gotten used to being...at the other place. Not here.
They kept my room the same. That's nice. It doesn't look like anything's been touched since the summer. I can tell Mama must have been in to dust at least once, but other than that, my stuff's been undisturbed.
Five months. I'm sure I've missed out on a lot. I don't know what to expect. I'm not even sure how my brother and sister and everyone else will react to seeing me. Mama and Daddy were happy to see me. They both cried. I...I honestly didn't know what to do or how to feel. I still don't. I wanted to cry - maybe I still do? - but I couldn't. Still can't.
I want Rore. And Leo. And Alex and Sandy and Nick. But I'm afraid they won't want to see me or that everything'll be so awkward. *sighs* Fuck.
