Love Trials

CHAPTER 4- ARGUMENTS

***Afternoon***

I woke up late in the afternoon. I should thank myself because I didn't drink, because if I did I my head would be killing me right now. I headed downstairs to grab something to eat. I still couldn't get over what I saw last night and how I remembered all the lies. I shook my head to erase all the thoughts about yesterday. It's summer I have to enjoy it.

Enjoy, that's what I need to do, so I could stop thinking about yesterday and clear my head. I need thi-

I was back to reality when I heard something ring- my phone. I look at the caller ID and my eyes opened widely.

My mom.

Oh no! I am gonna be so grounded.

"Hi mom!"- I said in a cheery voice hoping she hasn't found out about me breaking the rules.

"You broke a rule Sapphire"- my mom said straightly.

"I'm sorry mom"- I said, I really am actually.

I wouldn't be late in coming home if it wasn't for a raven-headed nerd.

YES! As in capital Y-E-S I am absolutely without a doubt mad at Catherine, she fooled me, she lied to me, but the one that hurt the most is she gave me hope, hope that I could still have a chance with Zachary, since I thought she would simply turn him down.

"You're grounded!"- My mom said without even hesitating.

"I'm grounded? seriously mom!? You're grounding me even when it's still summer!"- I said in pure disbelief and annoyance.

Yes! She is my mother, but she can't just ground me because I crossed a line, if you even think about it this is the FIRST TIME I ever broke a rule, and she's grounding me even when she doesn't know the reason why I got home so late!

Its just infuriating to think that just one mistake, one broken rule I'd be grounded.

"Yes you are, and my decision is final!"- she with firmness in her voice.

"No I refuse!"

"Don't dare talk back at me"

"Oh yes I dare"- I told her in a challenging tone. She doesn't know what I've been through last night heck she doesn't even know part of my life.

"You're grounded and that's it!"

" No mom you can't just ground me! Your my mom, I know that but you can't just ground me like that. You don't even know what happened last night" I paused my voice cracking at the second sentence. "It's not like you don't care about me anymore"- I said trying to refrain myself from crying.

She must have notice the way my voice crack because her voice turned softer " I do care"

"Well I think you don't. You don't have time for me anymore! You and dad are always so busy, you should have not gave birth to me if you just want to make me feel like this. And don't dare tell me you care, you weren't there when I needed you, you weren't there when I'm sick, heck you aren't even there on my birthdays! Because what!? You two were at God knows where for freakin' business trip!" I paused "I maybe a bad daughter but at least I'm not a horrible person like you! " I said, I heard her gasp then I ended the call.

I felt bad, I don't know why I've done that, but I know I should not take all the words I said. Call me mean if you want, I don't care anymore!

I hate this stupid life!

Everything about it was so confusing, everything!

Life is bringing me down! I don't know what I did to receive this trails of BAD LUCK!

Am I such a mean person?

I sigh as I heard someone knock on my door.

"What do you want?"- I said rising one of my eyebrows at her.

"I saw you leave yesterday, at Thalia's party"- Catherine said. While making her way towards our house.

"Why does it concern you?"- I ask her slightly irritated, with the fact that she just went inside uninvited.

"It concerns me, because it involves me."

I smirk "Oh really? How sure are you?"

"Come on Saph, don't play dumb with me. I saw you looking at us while we were dancing. I tried to let go of him but he wouldn't budge. Believe me-"

I cut her off and said "Stop, because believe me I don't care anymore."- she seemed to feel a little hurt, but covered it eventually.

Actually, I really don't care anymore. I'm tired of believing people that's always lying to me.

"Believe me, I tried"

"Believe me too, Cathe I'm trying to do what you want but I just can't"

"Please try harder."- she said pleadingly, I just can't.

"Do you love him?"

I saw her hesitate before she answered, the answer is so clear already, the way she hesitated and the way she didn't look me in the eyes when she said "I don't"- her answer made me feel a rage of fire coming from within me.

She doesn't? Is that a joke!? Is she trying to make me laugh? Because I swear it's not funny, not even close! I am without a doubt mad at Catherine! She has no right to come here after she lied to me. I hate her, and it's not just because of Zach.

"Don't lie to me! Why do you keep doing that? Are you happy now!? I know the truth Cathe, I know you like him maybe even love, I saw the way you look at him. The way your eyes spark when we started talking about him. The way you said his name." I paused as my voice cracked "It is exactly what Zach does, the was he looks at you. I'm not blind! It's so obvious you don't need to lie about that. Well I guess it makes you happy seeing me this hurt and destroyed, Am I right?"- I yelled at her.

Tears are trying to escape my eyes, but I stopped them. I can't let anyone see I am this weak when it comes to love. Nobody has ever saw me in this state, and I mean NOBODY. I am not just gonna cry and breakdown in front of this girl!

"I'm sorry"- she said, guilt coming across her face.

I wish it's just that easy, but it's just not. Love should not be forced, you should wait for it patiently. Some people are afraid to love that's why they tried to forget the person or the feeling of falling in love, because they thought it was the only solution. It's not actually, forgetting the person you actually want can make your feelings for this certain person grow into something you didn't even knew you could be capable of feeling that way, it just surprises you.

"A sorry isn't enough to mend me. You fooled me!"- I yelled stubbornly. The tears that I've been stopping awhile ago is already flowing nonstop.

"I'm just really sorry"- I felt the sincerity of the way she apologizes. I notice the falling from her eyes as well.

"It's not enough! Now please leave before I make you! Don't show yourself to me, not even once! I trusted you, you had your chance but you decided to break my trust. I'm sorry but I don't give second chances especially to liars! Now leave, you are not welcome here anymore! "- first she hesitated if she should leave but she did it anyways.

I decided to call Amanda, but think better to not call her. If I was in this kind of state I tend to get angry with almost everyone. I could feel annoyed even when I'm not supposed to be. Besides she's probably sleeping, right now or maybe she has a major hung over because she was slightly drunk.

So I decided to go to the place that calms me the most. The riverbank.
