red love (z.m.)

"The truth has no temperature."

It's 7. April, my twentieth birthday and I'm fu-cking sitting in my old room and listening to my parents as they argue. I can't believe that they can't argue for one single day. For Gods sake it's my birthday and I'm fu-cking alone!

I got off of my bed and went down. If they want to argue all day long, let them be, but I'm not staying here any longer. I'm so sick of it, they are arguing my whole life and I just can't stand it anymore. Maybe I should just get back in London to my apartment and have a dinner with myself. That would be really nice, anything but this.

As I walk down the stairs I see my little brother crying, he is so scared. Okay, now this is enough!

"Could you just atop it for fu-cks sake?!" I yell at them and they went silent for a moment just to look at me, with wide eyes.

My mom is so red from crying and yelling and my dad is so frustrated I can't stand this anymore, this has to end, for good.

"Are you okay baby?" My mum ignores the fact that me and my little brother Brian, we're listening their screaming for half an hour. "No mother, I'm not okay! Can you just spare me one day? Both of you? It's my bloody birthday and you're here screaming at each other while I'm having my birthday upstairs, all alone. Do you seriously think I could be fine?"

My mum stares at me for a moment before speaking. "I'm so sorry baby, I didn't want you to be alone, we can go somewhe-" my mum was cut of by my father yelling at me. " Fu-cking go to your room Charlotte! I don't have fu-cking time for this, your mother is cheating on me!" He was so loud that Brian dig his nails in my leg, and I knew I should go back to London, right now.

I went upstairs, took my bags out and fill them with clothes.

I put Jason to sleep as I walked out of the house without another word. They didn't even deserve my look.

I got into my car and after a few hours I was in my apartment, eating dinner with myself as I planned on it.

So this is how my twentieth birthday went, fun, I know.

I changed into my shorts and tank top, laying on my soft, big bed was the best feeling ever.

As I lay there, my thoughts drifted to when my father said that my mother was cheating him. Was that really true? I never really had nerves for my parent. They are so complicated, not loving at all. I'm kinda used to that so far because I don't see them too often. They live in Melbourne.

I finally fell asleep.

So there you go! My first chapter. So Charlottes family is really complicated and not loving as it was said.

She lives in London and she really likes living alone. That's about all, I hope you guys like it. Don't be to judgy cause it's my first story ever and I'm new here. The first chapter is kinda boring but it will all be clear as the next chapters come. Thank you for reading

The one who writes a first comment is gonna be a character in the story!
