Casey's POV
"Wake up omg hurry up" Imogen starts beating me up with a pillow
"Uh um what" I say opening my eyes slowly trying to adjust them to the light
"Tell me everything" she sits down on my bed making it sink
"What are you even talking about" I say
"Oh my god Casey just tell me, okay I saw you and that guy sucking faces yesterday"
My eyes widen "You did" I whisper
"Yesss!! Now tell me" she smirks "Who is this mystery guy that you won't tell me about"
"I just met him it's really no big deal" I slump my shoulders "The kiss was just unexpected it didn't mean a-" she cuts me off "Ok let me tell you something lil sis, I may not be an expert in love but I have been around longer than you have and I know for a fact that a kiss like that means something, no matter how long you've known each other" she smiles sincerely
"Yeah yeah I don't know" I say "how did you feel when he kissed you?" She asks me and my mind starts rolling with all the butterflies I was feeling yesterday when I was around him and how my heart felt like it melted with every sweet movement of his
"You're thinking about him aren't you" she grins widely
"Stop doing that face" I laugh and pick up a pillow and playfully hit her with it
She picks up another one and in a matter of a second we're having a pillow fight. I fall off my bed and fall on uncontrollable fits of laughter with Imogen following my actions
A knock on the door calms us down a bit
"Co-ome in" I say still laughing a little more
My face drops and the laughing turns into coughing. After 3 or 4 coughs I'm able to go back to my seriously depressing face expression
"Good morning mom" I say politely
"Good afternoon Elizabeth" she bites back at me using my horrible middle name
I roll my eyes in my mind. I'm trying here mother give me a fucking break, Jesus
"I need to talk to you, be in the kitchen in 5 minutes" she walks out and closes the door behind her
"I need to talk to you, be in the kitchen in 5 minutes" I mock her and make my sister snort
"Ok I'll go to my room so I'll leave you to get ready for hell" she gives me a quick hug and walks out
I quickly walk into the bathroom, brush my teeth and wash my face. I also put on a high ponytail so I don't look as shitty as I usually do in the morning. I walk out of the bathroom and into the kitchen to find my mom leaning on the counter
"Take a seat" she says
I do as she says and then she starts pacing around the kitchen. Then she looks straight at me
"I tell you to try and be a responsible woman, I tell you to stop being so stubborn, I tell you all this stuff and for what!" She yells "Why the fuck don't you ever listen to me!"
"What are you talking about" I say in a normal time of voice
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" She yells once again
"No actually I don't, please tell me what I did wrong this time mom" I say
She slaps me across my face and yells again "Don't you dare lie to my face Casey Elizabeth"
I hold the side of my face and run it a little trying to make the pain go away but I know that it's worthless because no matter how hard I try this pain will never go away
She reaches into her pocket and throws something at my face. I close my eyes and bite my lip already knowing what that was. I open my eyes and let out a huff when I see the object laying there in the table
My cigarettes
Fuck
"Now explain yourself" she yells once again
"Ok mom I'll explain, I smoke ok. I'm a 22 year old for Christ's sake. I'm not 5 mom and you need to stop treating me like so" I say once again keeping my voice neutral "I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment to you ok. I'm just gonna leave now and stay out of your sight forever so you don't ever have to worry about my damned self" I walk towards my room and just after I leave the kitchen I stop when she talks
"That's 1. Get to 3 and you're leaving my house"
I let out a dry laugh and just walk back to my room to be miserable by myself.
I look out the window and let out a single tear roll down my face.
After all this time she wants to throw me out, I mean I know we've had our ups and downs but fuck I can take so much you know. I should've known this was gonna happen sooner or later she was gonna get tired of my shit and kick me out.
I decide to just forget about all the shit in my head right now so I put on some music on my tablet
Uma Thurman by Fall Out Boy starts playing
I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death tear us apart
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me till I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can't get you out of my head
I pick up my phone and see that I have 2 new texts from Zayn
Zayn- "Hey babe"
Zayn- "Wyd??"
I decide to text him back ";)"
Me- "Hey :)"
Me- "Just listening to FOB while stuck in my room hbu?"
Zayn- "I didn't know u like bands n why u stuck in ur room?? N nothing just bored"
Me- "I like almost every type of music really n my mom was just yelling at me so I don't wanna talk to anyone rn"
Zayn- "You're talking to me doe"
Me- "Bc you're special"
Zayn- ";) 😘"
Me- "Omg malik you're such a flirt"
Zayn- "ur welcome"
Zayn- "Wanna go out somewhere??"
Me- "Where?"
Zayn- "It's a secret can't tell you :P sorry love"
Zayn- "Get ready I'll be there in like 20 ok ;)"
Me- "k see you in 20 :)"
I walk towards my closet and pick out something pretty but simple to wear for my mystery date with Zayn
I brush my hair throughly and leave it a bit messy. I put on a jumper with a grey jacket my grey vans and my anchor necklace
I spray on some perfume and walk out of my room. My mom looks at my every move and I just ignore her. I walk out of the door and lock it behind me.
I spot Zayn's car and open the door
"Hey babe" he says and kisses me passionately
"Hey" I bite my lip and ask "Where are we going?"
He smirks over at me and says "We're going to one of my favorite places in the world"
