In Class Writing

So I sat there in grief. Four years of a relationship all down the drain. Life just didn't make sense anymore. It was as if I had no purpose any more. The worst part about it was that my parents were especially focused on me after receiving the news. I am an only child. In most cases, that meant that the parents were solely focused on their one and only child. But not in this case. My parents wouldn't give a rat's ass about what happened in my life. I was top of my class, in numerous after-school activities, and was basically a perfect child for them. Up until now, my parents wouldn't have acted any different if I didn't even exist. I never told my parents because they wouldn't have cared anyhow. That was when I came home that Friday night. Jamie had just broken up with me and I was devastated. I walked into the living room and my parents were both sitting on the couch. The called me over to them and they began consoling me. It was the weirdest thing. My mom gave me a big hug and my dad said it was going to be alright. I was so confused. My girlfriend had just broken up with me and my parents somehow found out and seemed to care. My dad started giving me a speech about how great Jamie is and my mom told me that she was going to fix things for me. I was sad, but this was a little much for me. After a few minutes my mom went over to the phone and started to call someone. Then I realized what she was doing, she was calling Jamie. I immediately jumped over the couch and ran to stop her. It was too late. Jamie picked up. "Hi Jamie, this is Mrs. Anderson. I was just calling to see what the reason may be as to why you broke up with Chris. Chris is a great guy and he loves you dearly. Maybe there's something I don't know about, but I feel like you two should be together." Oh no. She was embarrassing me. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to talk to Jamie. It was too soon. But I couldn't just stand there watching my mom do this. Then it hit me. I yanked the cord out of the wall. Disconnected. Whew. I looked around...uh oh. Where did Dad go?
