"I'm addicted to you... don't you know that you're toxic?"

I screamed at the top of my lungs and bobbed my head to the rhythm. My nails tapped on the steering wheel, the sounds filling the car.

The road was dark and I just realised how stupid I was to take this path. I can't blame anyone but myself for wanting to drive longer.

Driving was like a therapy for me.

Just as I started singing again, my phone started to ring.

"Really? Just when the best part hits." I murmured to myself and grabbed my phone. I pressed on the green button and answered it.

"Hellooo!" I said and waited for Gigi to talk.

"Where are you, Delia?" She whispered in the speaker and I heard a door close in the other side.

I leaned back on the leather seat and let out a sigh. "Currently on a pretty abandoned road. I'm on my way home." Felicia's party was boring and I decided to leave earlier.

It was only 11 pm which was rare for me to be home on a Saturday night at this time.

"Malinda, Richard and Antonio are here. They stayed for dinner." Gigi informed me and I rolled my eyes.

"What does Antonio want now? Did he said something in front of dad and mom?"

"He acted like a wounded kitten. He even gifted dad a new Rolex." Antonio was my ex boyfriend and dumped me couple of months ago just because I apparently couldn't keep up with him and couldn't give him the attention he needed.

Jerk.

What was there to keep up with? Boring golf games and stupid meetings with his "bros" at the Serenity Club.

He actually did me a favour by breaking up but now he acts like it was all my fault.

It's what he is best at. Blaming people for his actions.

"Did he said something else? Something that will earn him a good kick to his nuts? Because I'm in a mood for that." A quiet giggle echoed through the speaker and I joined her.

Gigi was my younger sister and just started high school. She was fifteen and five years and exactly five days younger than me.

"No, he knows that I'll immediately tell you. But he did mentioned that he wanted to take you out next week."

"In his dreams." I muttered and started to plan how I'll get home without anyone noticing me because there was no way I was going to say hello to them and actually appear in front of his mom. She'll chew my ears about not attending her ladies club.

"Okay drive safe. I have to go now."

"Byee." I said back and hung up.

The song started to play again and I smacked my lips together. My eyes went to the small rearview mirror and I checked if my lipstick was still intact.

Britney Spears' voice filled the car yet again and my mind went to college. I had few exam coming up and I had to figure how to organise my time to actually study.
