Chapter 4: spilling the news

It had been three days since the whole laptop incident and if I'm honest I just couldn't get my head around it. I especially didn't want to tell esta as she's clearly got a lot more to deal with. my mind was a big black scribble. so was my heart... I sat down at the dinner table with mum and dad who normally sit either, opposite or next to each other but now were sitting on other sides. It was silent with only the noise of clashing cutlery against the plate. the tension was so tight, I couldn't of cut it with a knife if I wanted to. Me being me I tried to make things better and start a conversation but mum butted in and said "sarah, esta. me and your dad have some news." I acted suprised "oh really?" I said in a sarcastically cheerful mood. "I wouldn't sound happy if I were you." said dad. "oh?" I said "me and your mum haven't been getting on lately and we think it's best we go our separate ways." even though I knew, it still made my heart drop hearing it from my dad. "ok." I said in shock and anger. Esta was just silently crying trying not to draw attention to herself. "we are really sorry we just think it's for the best." "yes, you don't need to explain yourself mum." I hissed. "We are selling the house and we are leaving it to you to decide who you want to live with." said dad. As a sixteen year old girl who has 'lady problems' once a month I though it was best to choose mum and so did esta. so we both announced our desicion and my dad spoke up and said "I'm glad you picked your mum as I'm moving away to Spain as I've been offerd a job there and I thought it would be easier to stay here where you know." "WHAT!" I bellowed. "Calm down Sarah, I know your upset but no need to shout." I ran upstairs screaming and crying. I curled up in a ball on my bed a buried my head in to my duvet. as I looked up all I saw was my pale blue walls filled with photos of family memories. I felt trappped and alone. I felt worthless and all I could do was cry.
