Everyday when I wake up and get out of my bed I feel sad, I hate waking up in that house of sorrow and feeling negative energy everywhere I go in the house. My name is Destiny and I’m 15 going on to 16 and I'm dealing with drama that a young teen should not go through. I only have two more years of school left and I might not even make it to the end because just that one person in your life has to always ruin something, right? Yeah but that one person who always ruins stuff for me and my mom is always my dad.

I hate when people say, “It will get better,” No it doesn't, I'm sick of hearing lies from the ones I love and the ones that don't really care.
I just wanna tell them “Put yourself in my shoes,” at least a week to see how my life is. I go to school to get away from home and then see people that make me happy throughout the day then fake a smile to the ones I don't even like but I haft to because I have no choice to deal with those people everyday. I'm just a teen who wants a normal, fun, crazy life and to look back 20 years from now and say “I had it good and I made it” or to never regret my past and remember the good times. But everyday when things go bad I ask myself, “What did I ever do to anyone to deserve this?” Nothing, nothing at all. I'm a sweet person with a nasty attitude at times but loves to have fun and sees the good in people even when they did me wrong.

On Saturday February 13th it was a cold snowy evening, I had a great day so far and ahead of myself. A day to spend time with my mom and my friend. We were making our way to the mall to buy some clothes at a couple of my favorite stores. We went to the Nike store and Charlotte russe. Me, my mom and my friend just wanted to have a good night, but no, that night it was ruined and it turned into hell. I was not expecting anything bad to happen that evening.
That night around 7pm I got a call while eating hot cheesy, greasy pizza. It was my dad.  I picked up and said, “Hi!”
He started chuckling.  “Dad just got in a car accident near 7/11 and I’m hurt pretty bad.” 
At that moment, I was so shocked and upset.  My mom heard me in my room talking to him and she started screaming. “I told him not to take my car! He always ruins something for me.”
After that, my friend and I put our coats and shoes on, started to sprint to the gas station while gasping for air.  It was a frigid night. The temperature was negative zero with a crisp cool breeze. Right when I saw my dad In the car and the damage that was done, I started crying and screaming because I was very upset.
I said “Is he okay?!” My friend had to hold me to calm me down because I was so upset I was thinking of how my future would be now because we longer had a car to go anywhere.
Later on that day my friend called her mom and walked to the back of the small warm convenient store where no commotion was going on. Soon her mom came and picked us up and over the weekend I spent the past two days over there because my mom doesn't have a car to get me and she was close to her job so she stayed at a close friend's house. When I came home and started to walk to the doors I saw my dad and I immediately didn't want anything to do with him after that accident. I felt like he should pay my mom back or something for what he did. When I walked in the door he said, “Hi.”
  I groaned.
“The lady hit me! She had an amber light.  I swear I had the green arrow.”
“Okay.” I can't believe my dad because he's lied to me so much in the past and I can't take it anymore. Then I started to walk up the screeching stairs with a annoyed look on my face and just locked myself in my room, the only place where I feel happy in the house and can focus on my stuff. I just wish this whole car situation would just fade away soon and become a happy ending.

My mom came home and told me the news,
she said “I am approved to get a new car!” at that moment I felt this big weight get lifted off shoulders and gave her a smirk.
I was speechless because now I have a way to go places now and for my mom to go to work. She told me she never wants my dad to talk to her ever again, she will never take him anywhere and we are going to move out..
When she said that my jaw dropped and I started to burst out in tears because I was scared that I’m gonna move to a different school, lose my education and close friends.
She said to me “Please don’t cry destiny, we gotta move I can’t live here anymore with your dad, I’ve wasted 23 miserable years with him already, I’m done.”
I screamed “No! please stay longer here or at least find a place in the same school district, do this for me!” then non stop bickering throughout the evening on the way to the car dealership to pick up her new 2016 chevy cruze, coated in shiny white paint.
We finally got there and my mom started to sign a lot of papers then we soon left with smiles on our faces but still some worries, finding a place to live soon.
Soon we left the dealership and went home to my miserable dad just sitting on the couch wasting his life with a labatt blue beer to the left of him on the old washed up carpet and his small cheap lg phone on his right palm. We hated coming home and seeing that. Another argument came about, about something stupid like always. I walked up the stairs with my mother and we both went in different directions to our rooms, her’s was to right while mine was to the left of me.
She came to my door with a smirk on her face and said
“Can I sit with you, I need to tell you something?” In a suspicious voice with that same old smirk across her face.
I said “Yes.”
She sat next to me with her miss matched pajamas on and showed me some apartments she found where we could live.
I said, “Please tell me this is in the same school district?!”
She said, “Yes!” With another smirk on her face, but bigger and
I smiled so hard and she hugged me so tight and said,
“Now it's time for a new start.”
