everything is blowing my mind.
this is yesterdays' recount.
(23 may 2009)
okie doie
dont tell her i told you
but we went to the lake
he bussed it, i walked it
and we just walked around the lake
it was awesome happy nothing-in-life-is-shit-right-now fun
then 3/4 of the lake through and 2 hours
it started raining
so we went to a little parky thingy with little houses and just crashed there for a while
it was weird, like FULL ON SUNNY, then it started spitting then FULL ON RAINING...wtf really
but yeah
then it stopped raining and my mum called
i told her i was at the village
and then she yelled at me for going so far [coz i told her i was going for a run, and its been 2 hours... =_= ]
then she asked who i was with
so i told her i was by myself
so then she said 'IM RIGHT BEHIND YOU YOU KNOW, WHO ARE YOU WITH, DONT LIE TO ME'
so i said 'fine i'm with jason'
and she freaked and said 'im coming to get you, i'm coming to pick you up at the village'
so then i told her we were walking to the lake, so she should come to the lake instead
and managed to stop jason from running away coz my mum said 'keep jason there with you, i need to talk to the both of you'
i was contemplating suicide by then
or catching a bus and running away and never coming back
but yeah, we walked to the lake stage...
met mum there
she yelled at us in public
(yell as in...speak with a very calm loud voice and lots of self control)
she said stuff like 'you should be studying' 'jason you should be studying, and your phone calls at night to leanne are distracting her from her study'
'i dont like you two being together'
'this age is for education and should be studying, not HOOKING UP'
i was literally praying to god that jason would say 'ya' (polite word in vietnamese that all youngsters like us should say to elders eg. parents) every time he answered mums questions
but he didn't
then she asked us 'where is your relationship at now?'
as in..friends, close friends, still going out, distant bf/gf that kind of thing
and we both said 'i dont know'
and she freaked and said 'what happens at the end of the year when you both fail school and you still dont know?'
and we got a 'speaking to' kind of lecture
and ugh
if you were there
you would've jumped into the water and strangled yourself in the weeds
you lie to protect yourself sometimes for a good cause right?
i didn't lie
i'm too fucking proud to lie
... then she said 'leanne, we're going home, jason if you need a ride to your bus stop you can come' and jason said no to the ride
then she left..
so i stood there for a while and jason looked up at me and i said sorry
and started crying
so i said sorry again, and left
i hate crying in public
(i would committ suicide before i would ever cry in public)
then..i got home
but yeah..i got home
2 hours of arguing
yelling, choking for 2 hours
i told her how i wanted to die, i told her how she was ruining my study at the moment, i told her what he thought, i told her how much i wanted to run away from home last night, i told her how much i wanted to please her so much that i dont even know what i wanted anymore
and i realised that i tried to live up to her expectations so much, i sort of became her.. and i didn't know what i wanted anymore
she didn't say anything
then i told her how sometimes i wanted her to disown me, so i could do my own thing and find what i wanted instead having to meet her expectations
i dont know, but everything i told her is true
everything im telling you now is true
i only realised all this today
i live so much in everyones expectations i've forgotten what i've wanted
and then..
my mum took a while to think about it
and i dont remmeber crying and yelling so much my face burnt up and everything i heard felt so clear
and everything i said was so honest and loud
but afterwards she said i can take my phone back
i dont have to get it confiscated by her anymore
and i can be with jason all i want
only that i'm not rude or impolite and say appropriate things to her, and keep our relationship simple and have limits, and study at my hardest
i couldn't believe it
she was offering everything i had wanted, for such a small price
so i said 'what if my grades drop? what if they're not what you expect? what if they're not what i expect?'
and she just said 'we can't see into the future, we have to see how things go'
and so thats what we agreed on
and then today, jason came home
and he figured my mum had called his dad and told him all about it
so when his dad asked him where he was, jason just answered him and told him he went to see me
and his dad yelled and lectured him for seeing me
i dont know how its going with him and his dad
but he says its under control
and after all this, i thought he would've broken up with me already
but we're still together
im so glad it is too..
i actually told him
(before my mum came to the lake)
'i'm surprised you haven't broken up with me yet'
'i thought putting up with so much of this shit would've been enough to make you break up with me'
and he just said 'its okay'
i dont think i've ever felt so relieved
but now that i've faced it, it feels so much better to come clean
and that is how yesterday went.
i'm lucky to have stayed where i am.
ciao. ♥
