My Parents Missed My Awakening. I Walked Away

Summary

Before the awakening ceremony, our pack reserved two family seats for every teenager taking part.

I handed Mom and Dad their invitations and reminded them three times when it started.

Every time, Mom said, “We know. We’ll be there.”

But that day, I waited outside for three hours. Neither of them showed up.

Other dads had brought cameras, ready to capture the moment their children awakened.

Other moms had packed their kids’ favorite fruit to help them regain their strength afterward.

Mom finally picked up just as the ceremony was about to start.

“Mom, why aren’t you here yet?”
