I’m running late. Again.

This is officially the story of my life since I moved in with Trent.

Every morning, I wake up and clean this asshole’s loft. Wouldn’t bother me if I got to pick the time, but for some reason, he now wants me to do it after he leaves for work, but before I go to school.

I wake up at five in the morning now, which again wouldn’t be a problem alone, but I’m up until two every night, studying.

Worst part? I’m not even studying stuff for my major. I’m studying things ‘Trent deems appropriate.’ Gail’s words. Not mine. Though she gave me a heads-up on the next curriculum Trent set up, and I’m pretty sure that’s a major breach of procedure for her.

On the train, I find myself muttering the same sentence to myself

“What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger.”

It’s my mantra these days. It’s either that or “Fuck. My. Life.”

And I’m still secretly comprising a list of all my grievances against Trent Aldridge.

What started as a way to prepare myself for a court case has now become therapy journaling. I pull out the journal and spend the entire train ride reviewing the list, debating what to add to it.

It reads like this:

Without written notice that the Trustee would no longer pay my bills, all services and tuition payments were canceled.

Without warning or legal timing to find alternative housing, I was evicted from the home that should have been paid for by Trustee.

My mode of transportation payments was canceled by Trustee and vehicle repossessed.

Without telling me the rate and penalty ahead of time, I get charged two thousand per minute from the trust when I arrive late to meetings the Trustee requested.

Trent is a giant dickhole to me for no reason, except his father decided to be nice to me and an asshole to him. (Fine, I don’t know what to say about this one . . . but I feel like a court would need to hear it.)

He’s making me write homework assignments and volunteer at a retirement community. (Again, probably not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, and I really do love going to the retirement center every day. Maybe I won’t bring that to the court either.)
