Addiction

5: Strange Day

I have been here for just one night and I feel like I can't take it anymore. What she did last night pissed me off. I heard a knock on the door bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Come in", I said as I looked at the screen of my phone to check the time.

"Honey can I sit", my dad asked while walking towards my bed.

"Sure".

"Honey, I would be leaving for my trip later today", he said while sitting on my bed. I sat up straight since I was laying down before. "And I would like to ask for a favor".

"Well can you at least stop calling me 'honey', I don't like it", I said matter of fact.

"I can't because I love you"

"I don't believe it so you need to stop"

"I don't want to and I won't", seriously this man.

"You won't call me what...."

"Can we leave that behind please", he said interrupting me, "I would be traveling and I want you to at least try to live in peace with Tina and Anna, please". I scuffed hearing what he wanted. "Lucy, I know you hate me for not being there for you, for not staying with you and your mum. I understand how you feel but Tina and Anna has nothing to do with it". I lost it completely hearing his words.

"Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me right now?", I shouted in anger, "you know nothing about my feelings or emotions. You don't know how it felt not to have any of your parents around when you needed them. You don't.... You know what leave my room", I was fed up. I can't show him my weakness. "I said leave now", I shouted which made him leave immediately.

I shut the door and slumped down to the ground. Why would he do this? Why would he remind me of the pains I bottled up. I crawled to my night stand and took my phone and dailed Dianna's number. I was already crying when I heard her voice.

"Lucy what happened? What is wrong? Please talk to me, you're scaring me", she sounded so worried. I shouldn't have called her but she's the only one I have right now.

"He reminded me of everything D", I mumbled in tears.

"Hey listen, you can't break down in front of them, try to put yourself together", she said. She kept on talking to me trying to make me feel better until I stopped crying.

We kept on talking about random things and told jokes till I couldn't even remember why I called her or when.

"Have you had breakfast?", She asked over the phone. It was around 11am now.

"No".

"You should go have breakfast, I'll call you later, okay?".

"Okay. Bye, I love you".

"I love you too". Immediately the call was disconnected, I went into the bathroom for a quick shower which didn't take long. Coming out, I didn't feel like dressing so I decided to put on a long shirt which stops mid thigh. As usual, I styled my hair and applied lip gloss.

Going out of my room to the kitchen to make something for myself I noticed Anna was sitting on the couch reading a book and that left me wondering why she would be here on a Monday doesn't she have work. Anyways I went into the kitchen checked the pot to see if there was anything left, although I found rice but that wasn't what I wanted to have so I resulted to preparing pasta and sauce.

"Your dad left about an hour ago. It would have been lovely if you were out to see him off", a voice said walking into the kitchen and from the voice it's obviously Tina.
