Sabrina ; The next generation

Twenty-five

I've got a short life update for you all...

So today I went to Ikea for furniture for my garden. Turns out I don't have the right tools to put it together but I'll borrow some from my mum tomorrow.

Then I had a fucking breakdown because my fishnet tights got tangled up and I then ripped them apart because I got angry and I've got anger issues.

And now I'm writing this chapter in the middle of the night when I have to get up in the morning, get on a train and see my entire family because of this family get-together that I at first wasn't invited for but they moved the date and invited me (they first planned it on my birthday and invited everyone but me)

I haven't seen my extended family since 2017 so this is gonna be great.... 

Also, I'm not wearing my glasses so my apologies if there's more mistakes or typos than usually.

"She sounds like a bitch."

I looked into the distance through narrowed eyes as I took a puff of my cigarette, then looked at Adriana who was cuddled up in Theo's arms while we sat at the playground that same evening.

"She's not a bitch."

"Turning it around on you when she's the one cheating on her boyfriend, is kind of bitchy." Theo agreed, nodding slowly as he brought his own cigarette up to his lips.

I shrugged and looked into the distance again, shrugging.

"She's not a bitch." I mumbled again, this time mostly to myself. I took another puff of my cigarette, then exhaled the smoke into the air. "She's just..."

"A daft cow who's obviously playing you."

"She's not–" I raised my voice but Adriana cut me off.

"No, that's exactly what she's doing, Breena. She sees the way you feel for her so she plays you. She's using her to figure out her sexuality crisis. Telling you she's straight then kisses you? Nah... fuck her"

I rolled my eyes.

"She cheated on James." I stated. "And I'm the other person... the one to fuck up a relationship. That was never my fucking intention... no matter how much I love fucking with James, I don't want to mess up his relationship. She's his first real girlfriend and probably also the last."

Theo snickered while Adriana chuckled.

"Even in a situation like this, you just can't help yourself about bringing him down, huh?" Theo grinned. "I've got no idea what it is with you two... did you just pop out of the wombs and start competing with each other?"

I shook my head, smiling while taking a puff.

"I popped out in November...he popped out five months later. Best five months of my life."

We sat in silence for a moment before I looked at them as I extinguished my cigarette, my landing on the two. Adriana had her head tilted back against his chest, smiling up at him while he smiled down at her, leaning down to kiss her.

Ugh...love.

As he pulled back, he brought his cigarette up to his lips but he kept his eyes on Adriana as she watched his movements closely.

Adriana hadn't told Theo that her dad hit her again. He'd freak out if he knew but I couldn't tell him, seeing as it wasn't my place. If Adriana wanted him to know, she'd tell him. It just killed me that he didn't know. I know he'd agree with me. She needs to tell someone and get some kind of help.
