I didn't stay at school much. As soon as we were given the books, I left as everyone did.
I didn't want to go home either.
The only place I want to be is anywhere with him.
With Marcus.
Anywhere else is just too boring.
But I kinda messed up with him too.
He's going to be back home late at night. Since then I have to stay at home.
Me: I'm back.
Mum: Honey, come here.
I went to the living room, confused.
Then I saw mum and dad packaging some stuff.
Mum: Please remind your dad who got this couch.
Me: Excuse me?
Dad: I told you so many times. I don't care if you take it or not. But just admit that I bought this!
Mum: That's a lie. When Olivia was five, I went to buy it after work.
Dad: And where was I?
Mum: I don't freaking remember.
Me: Guys?
They looked at me.
Me: You guys arguing for a damn couch?
Dad: Your mum is lying, baby.
Mum: We don't want to fight in front of you, Olivia. We're sorry.
Dad: YOU started this fight. Don't act like you're innocent in front of our child!
Me: I can't believe you're doing this.
Mum: Don't worry. We're getting out of here sooner than I had planned.
Me: What do you mean?
Dad: Wait. Have Olivia decided yet? We said we're not going to the court, but this will be HER decision.
Me: When, mum?
Mum: I have found a house with my mother and father.
Dad: Yeah let me explain her first.
Mum: Sweety I swear I didn't want this either-
Dad: Mum is leaving the whole damn country and she wants to take you with her. You're going to live with your grandparents.
Me: Country? I think we were just going to leave this city. And I also thought grandma and grandpa live in the same country as we do.
Dad: "We"? So, you're leaving with her?
Me: Dad... You know I need mum. But nothing is sure yet.
Dad: You have your life here. Your friends, your school, your boyfriend... And me.
Some tears fell down on my cheeks.
Mum: What's wrong?
Olivia: I don't have so many things right here. But yes, I have you and you're important. But you're both breaking my damn heart when you fight all the time. I can't stand this.
Mum: That's why we're leaving as soon as possible.
Dad: You can't take her away for me! It's my daughter! And she'll be far away.
Mum: She's a big girl. She'll make the right decision. If she wants to come with me, we're gonna find a way to see her.
Dad: Bullshit. Don't take my daughter.
Me: It will be MY decision. Stop it.
Dad: So, you're leaving everything here?
Me: I HAVE NOTHING HERE DAD! I used to have a best friend that now is gone, I used to have friends that are now against me... I have a boyfriend who-
I can't do this anymore.
I started crying.
I could barely talk.
My stomach was hurting from the fear of running away of this life.
Me: I have a boyfriend who hates me.
My parents didn't say anything.
I started crying out loud and left the room.
No one followed me.
I heard them arguing again and that broke me inside.
They don't care about me anymore.
I'm alone. I'm forgotten. I'm unloved.
I called Marcus.
I wanted to hear his voice so bad.
He didn't pick it up.
I called him again.
He didn't answer.
I started to cry even more.
I didn't know what to do. I need my best friend back.
I wiped my tears, took a deep breath and study a little bit.
I'll wait till the sun goes down.
For him.
For Marcus.
And I need to tell him the truth about my future plans...
