I never really understood the concept of love . I mean if you love a person you wouldn't want to cause them harm am I right ? Well that question roamed in my thoughts every day mostly because I never understood how my siblings would say my father loved me yet he liked inflicting pain onto me .
I know your probably thinking why I haven't moved out by now we'll the issue is , I'm scared of being alone despite everyone in my family hating me for whatever reason I still decided to stay .
I kinda knew the reason why my father didn't really like me I just never wanted to accept it . He always blamed me for the death of my mother because she died giving birth to me . Let's just say my childhood wasn't exactly the best . Everyone in my family knew of her expect me and I felt more than left out .
"Anya fathers calling you !" Bryan one of my eldest brother shouts from the bottom of the stairs snapping me out of my thoughts . I groan placing down the curler I'd just used on my hair .
I stood up from my vanity walking out my room hearing the light footsteps of my cat right behind me , I smiled rolling my eyes as I shooed him away .
"Dad?" I call , my voice echoes down the hallway as I wander around . The house was silent which was strange because there was always a random noise. Arriving outside his office , two muffled voices was all I could hear , I raise my knuckles and knock a few times . "Come in ."
I push open the large oak door and sigh when I see Cameron . He lived exactly two doors away from me with his father who I also hate . I could feel his eyes on me as I walked further into the room , but I chose to ignore him .
"You called for me ?"
"Yes , there's an event I want you to attend with Cameron ."
I fold my arms and mentally cuss him the fuck out . "What event ?"
"A charity event , and because I won't be able to make it I need someone from the family to be there-"
"So why does it have to be me ?" I instantly cut him off beginning to get annoyed already . He always made decisions without even asking about my opinion . I was still treated like a child despite me being a full grown adult .
"Because I say so ! Bryan and Julian are coming on a trip with me that's why I've asked you , si?"
"Whatever." I mumble
"Couldn't even say hi huh." Cameron's voice fill my ears and I glare at him before walking out of my dads office .
What a prick ! There both pricks .
My eyes darted towards the large clock on the wall , my shift started in about an hour so I still had time to get ready. I worked in a cafe which was less than twenty minutes from here . My life was pretty boring and I hated to admit that.
My dad owned a few companies and wanted me to work for him but I declined his offer , I didn't like knowing how physically close I was with him , it sometimes made me cringe .
I had a fair amount of money that i managed to save over the past couple years I just had no idea what to spend it on . Buying a house was the last thing on my mind because I liked my space I had here but then again I knew I had to move soon because I couldn't bare the torment any longer .
My brothers never bothered to form a relationship with me because they were to brainwashed by my father to even communicate. Most of the times it would just be them reminding me that dinner was done or I was being summoned by my father. What douchebags .
Sometimes they made me feel so worthless I just wanted to crawl into a hole and stay there forever . I brushed off the feeling of sadness and put a smile on my face , I didn't want to stay in the house any longer so I left deciding to go on a walk .
Winter was approaching quite soon , so it began to get dark early . The only thing I could say I'm proud of is that I bought a car a few months ago but I still liked walking . Julian always said I liked to spend money but I never knew what to buy . Being the only girl in the family honestly isn't for the weak .
A sudden vibration filled my ears as I reach for my pockets pulling out my phone . It was Zoe one of my childhood friends . We still hung out here and then but ever since she wanted to study medicine she moved down to Arizona so we barley saw each other . I missed her so much .
"Hey girl!" Her voice squeals into my phone instantly making me smile . "Zoe how are you ?" I ask waiting for a response
"I'm good , just missing my best friend ."
"I know I miss you to." I whine
"But guess what , I'm coming down possibly next week for my moms birthday so I'll be able to see you ."
"Finally , I need someone to talk to , can you imagine I came downstairs and Cameron was sitting in my dads office ." I roll my eyes remembering at how annoyed I was .
"That ex can't seem to stay away from you huh."
"He's not my ex , I dated him in seventh grade."
"Still your ex." I could imagine the smirk Zoe would have on her face and I shook my head , telling her I'd call her back later as my shift was about to start soon.
I came upon the cafe and walked in , it wasn't exactly busy because it had just opened not long ago . "Hey Marco ." I say to my boss as he approaches me , he was honestly like a second father to me . Back in my teenage years when my dad used to beat me I'd always come here because he comforted me , Marco offered for me to stay with him but I didn't want to stress him out , as I was too much to handle .
He's always treated me with respect and kindness which is why I love him . I've worked at the cafe nearly for a year now and if I could I'd work here forever .
"How are you doing ?"
"I'm fine Marco how are you ?"
"Good, you managed to get an apartment yet?" He asks as he takes a sip of his tea , i sigh shaking my head ."You really need to get outta there , look at the cut on your face ." He says pointing to the scar my father gave me a couple days ago because i apparently "lied" to him according to my brother.
"It's okay I'm fine ."
"You really need to get out of there , and if you need a place to stay your always welcome ."
"Thank you."
"Great now get to work ."
I laugh as I walk towards the back of the cafe placing my belongings into my locker . I smiled to myself , it felt nice knowing that there were people who actually cared for you it made me feel like I actually did have a purpose in this world , and not some mistake like my father always says. .
Making my way back into the cafe my eyes meet with the green eyes which had a flint of anger in them . He was here again .
Oh fuck me .
