A Midsummer Night's Nightmare

I passed math, which I had forgotten to mention before. My teacher used a more lenient grading system since I got higher than a 70% on the final, proving a learned enough. Of course, I never told my parents this. They were extremely disappointed in my grades, yet I was ecstatic for passing. At one point they even told me they gave up on me. Now that's in the past, though, and I hope to prove them wrong this coming fall.

That's not my nightmare, though. Today started out normally. I was playing my new Harvest Moon game my brother had gotten me for my birthday, and my mother said she want to try the Jet's deli boat. She and my brother looked it up to split one, and I ordered Chinese from a please nearby the Jet's so my mother could pick up both easily. Then, as we were relaxing, there was a knock at the door. A man was there, asking for my mother. When she came back in, the news was unexpected. Not only did he say our house is being foreclosed, but is being put up in a police auction tomorrow. We have six months to move out. All this time I thought my father had gotten a lawyer and was straighten things out, since the bank was charging us $10,000 because we couldn't make our payments while my father was unemployed and they wouldn't let the program go through were he didn't have to. That alone was tough and showed me just how little money we have, but even then we had a year. Now we have six months. I just don't know what to think anymore. It seems like a bad dream; like I'm rejecting the idea. Where will we even go? I know we could always move in with my grandmother, but that'd be crowded. Can we find an apartment we can afford? What school will I be attending now?

The man at the door was from an office that helps people keep there homes, but now that seems like it won't happen. He was here yesterday, according to a not. I guess my brother really had heard the doorbell. It's just too hard to believe we can keep this house. Now I even feel it's too early to take segment one and learn how to drive. How can we afford the $290 for it? After I get my license as well, how will I be able to get a car? That may seem rival, but how would I get to college? How would I get to the Teacher Cadet class my senior year? How can I get a job when my only options are places close by? In fact, the places close by will soon change.

It jsut feels like my world's falling apart, and I don't know if I can talk to anyone: my brother's begin distant, my mother's angry, my father's in denial, and I don't know if my parents want me telling anyone.
