"Are you high again..?" F/n L/n asks his daughter as he stands in the livings room with her. With a cigarette in his hand, worries and disappoints face on.
"I don't know Mickey Mouse. Am I?" She giggles at her joke and sat - almost falling - on the couch. Her dad just sighs like a return. "Can you take me to the Clubhouse ?.... I always wanted there..hahaha...." she wipes her tears from laughing as her dad takes his seat on the chair. He rubs his eyes and then covers his face with his hands. "He-he never takes me...even though he was asking 'you want to come inside my Clubhouse?' I always yelled..." y/n breaths in and yells "HELL YES-" out of her lungs.
"Y/N, CALM DOWN" y/n's mother screams from the kitchen, with a glass of vine in her hand. She tries to calm down herself before she does something bad.
"Sorry, Griselda..." of course that makes y/n laugh again. Although it wasn't funny. She then becomes serious and says, "wait where is your Anastasia?...she was my favorite-"
"STOP it" yells her dad, he then stands up and takes y/n's hand, making her stand up too. "School was calling today..."
"What they wanted...a drug?" You don't even know how funny she thinks she is. Y/n chuckles, but her dad stops her when he groans and yells...
"That's the reason-"
"They want me to sell them drugs?" She asks confused. Is this making the marijuana or is she in some dream?
"Oh GOD no..you were SELLING DRUGS IN SCHOOL" At this point her mom comes to the living room too, rubbing her husband's back for comfort.
"Hahaha ~maybe~"
"We talk about this so many times...and now THEY KICKED YOU OUT OF THE SCHOOL"
"Well, I never wanted to go in the hell-" and reality hit her, no I mean really hit her. Her dad slaps her on the cheek. She doesn't groan, moan or scream. Y/n touches her cheek with the red mark on it and a scratch from the ring from her dad. "Because of you...we are moving" y/n meets his eyes, they were darker - without emotion than usually. "You should go packing..." she nods her head and goes upstairs to her room.
Y/n closed her door and slides down with her back leaning against the door. She hugs her legs, buries her face into her knees, and uncontrollably starts sobbing.
She always makes stupid things like selling drugs, drinking too much alcohol, or stealing from shops. And yes her parents were mad and screaming at her but never hitting her. They never needed to move somewhere else. Or kicking her from school. Y/n was expecting punishment but not that big like leaving her home, I want to say friend but she doesn't have one. She all lost them in 6th grade when they start to disseminate rumors about her.
Y/n touches her bracelet on her wrist with a little bird on it - 'goldfinch'. The little bird has a red face and black and white head, the black and flanks are buff, the black wings have a broad yellow bar, the tail is black and the rump is white. Her grandma gives it to her when she passed away. That always comforts and calms her.
