August
"DIERE AND AUGUST GET UR ASSES DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW" I wake up to the sound of Athena yelling up the stairs. I look over to diere and she looks like she's in shock . I grab our clothes giving hers to her and putting on mine . Yeah we're definitely fucked.
"Oh shit I forgot I was supposed to pick up my siblings" she says as she struggles to put on her jeans. I help her holding her up with my arm while trying to put on my shirt with one hand.
"She's gonna kill us" I say my heart beating definitely not at a normal level. She gives me a guilty look but she also doesn't deny it. Once we have our clothes on we walk downstairs. I try to hide behind diere but it dosent work and she already knows that I'm here.
"Everyone upstairs except for diere and august" all the kids make ooo sounds and Harley grabs noor from Athena as they all go upstairs.
"Mom it's not what you think-"
"Messy hair, wrinkled clothes I'm not stupid. I know what you kids were up too." She says I try to flatten my wrinkles out awkwardly smiling.
"Athena I'm so sorry-" I try to say but I'm interrupted by her pointer finger in the air immediately stoping me from finishing my sentence.
"I don't wanna hear it august. Diere how could you forget to pick up your siblings and I thought you two were in a fight" Athena interrupts I look over at diere and she looks up at me not really knowing what to say.
"We talked it out and I'm sorry mom I forgot" diere replies her arms behind her back rocking back and forth on her heels chewing the inside of her cheek. It wasn't her fault though I'm the one who came here and....... Nevermind
"You forgot. Okay. August go home" Athena says her tone serious and her arms crossed.
"Wait but it was my fault" I try to explain myself but she doesn't want to hear it.
"August go get in your car and drive home right now. We'll discuss this another time." She says her tone slightly shifting from calm to irritated and I don't want to be disrespectful so I nod my head okay. I wave goodbye to diere as I walk out the door. Even though I feel bad I can't help but smile thinking back on everything that happened today. Me and diere saying I love you too eachother and doing you know what. I call Ray right away to tell him what happened not everything but just enough.
Hello?
Yeah Ray you won't believe what happened
Kid maybe some other time....your parents are here
I almost hang up when I hear that. What are they doing at rays?
Why
The hospital called them
I'm on my way
As much as I hate it I know I have to talk to them. I make my way over to ray's apartment taking the elevator there this time . The more time it takes me to get there the better. It dosent take long enough though I'm at rays apartment sooner than I would like. This use to be a safe place for me but just knowing they're there makes me feel queasy. I walk in and am already face with looks of disappointment from my dad. My mom looks more worried if anything as she runs up to give me a hug letting out soft sobs as she shakes uncontrollably.
"I'm so glad you're alright we were so worried" she says still shedding tears. I pay her back comfortably.
"So are you going to tell us what happened" Ray looks over at me his expression regretful as he stands to the side witnessing our conversation.
"Nothing serious" I respond my voice having no trace of emotion. I don't know why he's asking I know he dosent care. He'd probably be unfazed if anything happened to me.
"Okay then why the hell have you been staying here then. Care to share that?" He says his voice raising and I can tell he's been drinking. My mom places her arm around my shoulder not saying a thing. She never does.
"Why does it matter it's not like you guys are around anyways." I can't tell this angers him because he lets out a scoff standing up and walking towards me. My mom pulls us back creating some distance between us. The room suddenly gets cold.
"You were with that girl weren't you"
"Her names Diere." I respond. He can say whatever he wants about me but I'm not gonna let him disrespect her.
"You know I'm really starting to get tired of ur fucking additude. You're always complaining you spoiled piece of shit." My mom gasps like she's never heard him talk to me like this. I roll my eyes getting annoyed at this whole conversation. And Ray gives me a look basically telling me to calm down. But I'm tired of my dad treating me like garbage.
"Honey can you please calm down" my mom peeps out from the side of me and I'm suprised she said that much.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" He yells in my mom's face. I stand in front of her trying to advert some of his attention back to me. My dad just laughs.
"Can you not be a dick for once!?" I yell. Then I feel a sting on my check. My eyes start to water as I bring my hand to my face. He hit me.
"Charles?!What the hell!" Ray intervenes placing his hand on his shoulder trying to pull him away.
"You know what since you hate being at the house so much don't come back. You can stay here or the streets see if I care." My dad spits out grabbing his stuff and leaving slamming the door behind him. I look over to my mom and she has a conflicted look on her face. Like she's rethinking everything but never the less she walking over and places a kiss on my cheek.
"I'm so sorry auggs. I'll talk to him but it's probably best if you stay here for the time being" I scoff ignoring her I knew she would be like this. This is stupid. Why did I think she would choose me over him. She walks outside Ray following behind her closing the door. I can hear them yelling at each other from inside. I don't know why he's trying to reason with her. There's just no helping my mother she's too blinded by love to see what a horrible person my father is.
"I'm going out I'll be back later" I say walking right past them. Ray yells out something but I just ignore him closing the elevator door before he can reach it . Riding it down to the first floor avoiding my dad in the lobby. I jump into my car closing the door behind me. And I go to the only place I have left. Once I get there I ring the doorbell praying Athena dosent answer but my prayers were not answered. She opens the door shaking her head once she realizes it's me.
"When I said we would talk about this later this is not what I meant" she says closing the door in my face but I stop her before it's fully closed.
"My parents kicked me out"
