Chapter 10: Look To The Left

Chapter 10: Look To The Left

*Olivia POV*

There was nothing scarier than telling your parents you're in love.

But what was scarier than that, was that I told my parents I was in love with Austin, my best friend who scared the hell out of me because he knew my parents story.

My dads face fell, and my moms was in complete shock.

I knew I shouldn't have told them.

But I did.

That was the reason I chose him to runaway with me. Is because he was my best friend who had been by my side through everything that had caused havoc in my life.

I was almost scared on what was going to happen next.

Soon enough, my dad spoke.

"What's his number?" He asked, I could tell he was trying to stay calm in front of me, his daughter, but I could also tell he was going to lose it in seconds.

"Jason don't, don't you dare."

"Don't do what Alison? Call the boy my daughter is supposedly in love with? There's nothing stopping me from doing this now."

I knew I shouldn't have told him.

"Dad please don't. Okay? I take it back."

I didn't want a feud.

"Olivia I can read you. Okay? Your eyes say it all. I know what that look is. I know you. Just.. Go to your room while me and your mom talk about this." I nodded.

They were disappointed in me. They have never been disappointed in me.

They've been disappointed in Jase, and little things with Mason..

But never me. I was their perfect child that did everything right.

Even matched my underwear with my bra I was so perfect.

I had a perfect 4.0, captain of my track team, and was captain last year of my cheerleading team, I took all honor classes and passed with A's without trying.

I freaked if it got a 91% on a test because that's close to a B.

I even ignored boys to an extend where my crushes were that, crushes.

I never wanted to fall in love so young.

I mean I'm 14 I can't possibly know what love means yet, and fall into it with someone my parents absolutely hate.

My room used to entertain me for hours when I was younger, it was my alone time.

I felt free because it was my own little space, it was just me.

But when Austin was here, it was almost impossible to stay in here because we wanted to run around and play. We wanted to be free from society.

Now my room was blank.

My room wasn't me anymore.

The soft pink color contrasted with the gray it that was painted on the wall.

My desk held pictures, my MacBook Pro 90, pencils, papers I needed so many years ago that I'm to lazy and busy to clean out..

My room wasn't me anymore.

The closet was filled with clothes that I wore everyday at school that a normal teenage girl would wear. My drawers were filled with other clothes that I didn't like to hang up.

The floor was a soft white carpet that was almost as perfect as I used to be. There wasn't a single stain anywhere in sight.

My trophies from athletics and academics stood proud next to my community service awards and letters from orphan kids that I went to visit in the community.

I was always doing something, only because my parents always told me to give back and appreciate what I have. That they didn't have a lot of opportunities when they were my age because of what they were going through.

From my understanding my dad was in a gang when he was 14 and my mom was a sex slave. I wish I could go back in time and see what they were like.

What they said, what they did.

My dad had upgraded his computer systems over the years to keep us safe, but maybe he has old footage of him and mom.

I snuck out out of my room and heard hushed voices that could only belong to my parents. I saw them whispering to each other trying to find a conclusion to this problem. I was easily able to get out and go to my dad's office which was unlocked.

He had so many files.

I had to get looking in the 2014-2016 ones. That's when they were together.

After minutes of searching I found what I was looking for.

'OLD SECURITY TAPES. 2014-2015'

And under it was

'May Contain Videos Of Alison Jennings And Jason McCann'

There it was. Now I needed to find the 2016 one which was right next to it. But since my dad is weirdly OCD it was 2016-2017.

I quickly took the files and shut everything needed and high tailed my ass out of there and into my room.

I grabbed my computer from my desk and put in the 14-15 one first.

The screen came up with my parents arguing about something.

A small blonde was in the back screen, looking completely annoyed at what was going on. I couldn't let my parents hear this so I took my headphones and plugged them in.

-Security Footage, Alison Jennings and Jason McCann-

"Jason that's fucking stupid. You don't realize how stupid that sounds." My mom hissed at my dad, who looked as equally pissed at her.

"No it's not. And if you had half a brain you would know that. So shut the fuck up before I hit you." My dad actually hit my mom?

Austin was actually right..

"You wouldn't do that after last Tuesday Jason. So be quiet." My mom had an attitude. My goodness.

Wait.. What happened 'last Tuesday'?

"Whatever. Tapanga get the hell out of here." My dad hissed at the young blonde. Was that young blonde my Aunt Tapanga? She was so skinny and fragile looking. The screen wasn't all that good since it was a good 16 years old but it was okay.

That night I realized who my parents were.

They actually fought.

My dad actually hit my mom.

I saw the footage my my mom losing her babies because of Kaz.

I. Saw. Everything.
