Try Not To Scream

2. Blissfully Ignorant

 ARYA P.O.V           

This is it, im leaving. Grabbing my backpack i placed two pairs of jeans three shirts and my underwear, next i grabbed the only picture i had of my older brother Memphis and myself, wearing my boots and tucking my jeans in i get ready for the trip ahead of me throwing my hoody on i headed out of my room. Theres no way im staying here when i have my whole life ahead of me. Screw these materialistic people, though granted 'these' people are my own mother and father, but i have had enough. Enough of the pain that they put me through. I have finally gotten the courage to leave after years of torment.

Gliding down the railing of the stairs i came to a sudden stop infront of my family along with my fathers boss and his wife Stella, all of them eyeing me up as if i were a mistake, a burden to this world.

''Arya, honey. where are you going?" my mother was stairing at me a sad look spreading across her features, i would have believed her body language as an actual sign that she was worried for me, her hand out stretched as if to stop me, her daughter her own flesh and blood from running away, were it not for the glint in her eye as if she were challenging me to leave when we had guests over.

She was affraid of the gossip that would spread over our family name, and i knew that look in her eye was her way of telling me that if i left through that door that all family ties will be cut off. That, i didnt mind since its what i have been wanting since i can ever remember.

Stella is one of those women who like to gossip about everyone, she loves hearing about everyones bussiness and making it worse, she was one of those women that you just want to b*tch slap, but cant because of the impending doom of a court order and a whopping fine even imprisonment, That woman does not give up, she's like a vulture why does my mother keep her around? Well theres no other choice since Stellas married to my dads boss Hank.

Just when i took a step back she latched on to my arm and an unvoluntary hiss escaped my lips as the pain spread through my wrist, the pressure of her hold wasnt expected, no doubt there would be bruises forming.

"Dont touch me! you lost the right to being my mother the moment you abandoned me!" Oh she hated me alright, if her eyes can shoot lasers at me, i bet she would have.

Twisting my arm so she lost her grip i pushed her backwards making her bump into my father who grabbed my mother just in time. The look in his eyes were hostile. He absolutely loves my mother, and i remember a time when he used to have the same strong bond with me aswell, untill after the death of my big brother Memphis. He took out all his pain and anger onto me, causing me even more physical pain and inner suffering, my twin sister never liked me. she always though that i was the one that was spoilt with my fathers love, now its just her egging him on to actually hit me.

Miranda was my mums own pride and joy, the daughter that didnt cause trouble and went along with every word that she said. Its a good thing we dont look alike, i wouldnt want to look in the mirror and see the face of a person i hate, no thank you.

"If you turn your back on us then you will have no family Arya dont you dare think of doing this to us" I dont understand why he even bothered! the nerve of this man.

"Dont you dare try and act like you're the victim here! I have had to go through all of the beating, the loss of my brother and the abandonment of my family all on my own! I bare all this on my shoulders, don't you dare say that i won't have a family if i leave because you already abandoned me, now watch me as i abandon you so you at least get a tinge of what i felt!" With that as my parting words i held my head up high and spun around walking to the door.

With shaking hands a damp forehead and a lump in my thoat i push forward. I finally have the courage to leave, i was never the difficult child, always meek and quick to apologize for something that wasn't my fault.
No more soft Arya i will be strong i will be brave.
I need to be strong, its just me Vs. The World now.
