|CHAPTER 5|

Mum is at the dining table working on her laptop while drinking a cup of coffee. She stops typing on her laptop once she sees me approach her.

"Elly came over to drop your things." She says removing her reading glasses and placing them on the table. "She said you left some stuff at her place?_ What happened to spending the night at Kelly's?" She looks at me scrutinizingly and gets off her chair.

"Oh here comes the drama."

"Were you crying? Did Adrian hurt you? What happened baby?" She scans my face while bombarding me with questions. "Ohhh Wait till your dad hears about this." She adds on.

"No, no mum, we're not telling Dad anything. I slept over at Adrian's because Kelly's car broke down and she stayed over at double T's house and the crying? Yes, I cried but only because the girls were sharing some sad stories and we all got emotional."

"And why didn't you stay over at double T's house or come back home? Adrian's house is a 5 minutes walk from here." She inquires suspiciously.

" Because I wanted to stay over at Adrian's," I respond biting the inside of my cheek.

"Since when?" She pries raising her left eyebrow.

"Mum, can we drop the topic, please?" I am tired of being interrogated. "I'm a big girl, I'll be going to UNI in less than 3 weeks. At least let me make my own decisions, you're not always going to be around you know?" I rub my forehead feeling frazzled, "and not a mention of any of this to dad." I finish off.

She looks at me and sighs "You're right." Is the only thing she lets out. She goes back to the table and continues what she was doing. I can tell that I hate her feelings but there's nothing I can really do about it.

I feel bad for yelling at her, but I had to do it to get her off my case. She knows that I don't like Adrian, me sleeping over at his house and having swollen eyes from crying doesn't look good for him knowing his character. I also feel bad for not being able to tell my parents that I almost got raped, how do I even tell them about it?

"Like how do you tell your parents that a guy almost raped you after using the bathroom because he was drunk and high on unknown drugs?"oh hey mum and dad, so some guy almost raped me at double T's party, and his friends with Adrian Cornell, yeah the same Adrian that I despise because he cheated on me in 8th grade actually he did not cheat on me because I was alone in the situationship. But don't worry he just managed to kiss my chest, and neck and he gave me a hard slap to my face. " How delusional.

I go back to my room and dial kelly's line. On the third ring, she picks up. "Hey bitchacho" she screeches.

she's not acting weird and I mentally thank her for that. I'm not willing to talk about what happened late alone have my friends feel weird conversing with me because of some one time incident.

"Can you come over to my house? I need a ride." I seriously need to get my driver's license or at least a permit license.

"Are you okay?"_

"Yes I am, I just have an important errand to run. But if you're busy, it's fine." I finish off.

"No I'm free, I'll be there in 20 minutes." She hung up the call.
