Ashley, Me, The Family, and a Lot of a Bit Of Kevin.

From now on,
Kevin's going to be living with us for a while.
Something happened with his family,

I'm not supposed to know,
But whatever,
I'm a teenager and I eavesdrop.

Apparently something happened with his dad and his mom, ( I think they're divorced already, but idk)
Anyway, I heard Ashley say that his dad's been taking money from him for the past four months,
For his Grandpa.
And then something about financial problems.
I think someone lost their house in the midst, but then again, I could be wrong.
I don't know why, she didn't go into detail.
But somehow this ended up where Kevin has no place to stay.
So he's staying here for a while.

How long?
I really don't know.
Not that I mind.
I told you,
I like Kevin.
He's a nice boy.
With a hard life.
I feel bad for him mostly,
Having to deal with Ashley's shit most of the time, (She loves him, yeah, but still.)
Along with this family stuff,
And college next year.

Speaking of college for this boy,
I heard something about Stony Brook?
And that he can't go to the college of his choice because of all this family stuff.

My dad asked Ashley if this is going to affect her college for next year,
And she said that she didn't know, but I can tell.
She's not going anywhere without Kevin.

So now in this house,
We have me, Ashley, Allison,
My mom, My dad,
My Grandpa and Grandma,
And Kevin.
Eight people in a house that's supposed to be five.

I'm really not saying that I don't love my family and Kevin.
But I'm just really fucking tired of all of this crap.
I understand that, you know, my parents just love their own family and want to help them out.
My Grandma was kicked out of my Aunts' house, so Mom invited her here.
Grandpa's been living here since he got evicted from his house in Arizona,
And now Kevin.
Please don't interpret this wrong.
I seriously love my family a lot, (And Kevin too.)
No matter what I say.

But I'm tired of this house being overrun.
There's just not enough room.
Physically, of course there is.
But mentally, it's just way too much.
We can't financially afford all of this.
Not with Ashley's college(s) tuition/car insurance,
My Spain Trip,
My Class Ring that my mother insisted on.
And basic things like their bills and car payments and stuff.
Let alone put a smile on and try to feed eight mouths along with Jetta,
While my mom is losing hours in her job and is seriously not doing so well in her health.
She won't do a thing about it,
But I still feel bad for her.

I wish I could help, really.
But all I want to do is get rid of everyone.
It's just how I'm feeling right now.
I'm so tired of all the yelling and bickering,
The coughing and gagging,
The screeching and sobbing,
All of it.
It's just overwhelming me right now.

I don't know.
I just had to get this all out.
I need to sleep.
Peace.
