[ Continuation from the last chapter]

[ARIAH' S PERSPECTIVE]

After we had arrived it was already about 6:00pm and it was already starting to get dark outside. I saw that we were at "La Cucaracha Mexican Grill"
Which was a Mexican restaurant as u can tell by the name of it, it was one of the many 5 star restaurants around this area.

As I stepped into the restaurant, with two of our bodyguards surrounding us. The vibrant colors and lively music immediately caught my attention. The warm, inviting atmosphere embraced me, easing my nerves. The tantalizing aroma of spices filled the air, making my stomach growl in anticipation. I couldn't help but admire the vibrant paintings adorning the walls, each telling a story of its own. I'm not gonna lie it made me feel like a kid again:/ .

As I followed the hostess to our table, my eyes scanned the menu, my mouth watering at the thought of savoring authentic Mexican flavors. Tacos, enchiladas, and the promise of freshly made guacamole danced in my mind. The excitement bubbled within me, mixing with a hint of nervousness. This dinner was not just about the food; it was a chance for me to make memories with my parents.

I took a deep breath, reminding myself to stay open and hopeful. This evening could be a turning point in our relationship. As I settled into my seat, I couldn't help but steal a glance at my father, hoping to find a glimpse of the man I longed for deep down. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was willing to face my fears and express my vulnerability.

The waiter came over and took our order, I ordered a "Quesadilla and a side of Nachos with choke" while my parents both had "Enchiladas".
When the waiter left the table my mom brought back up the topic of the school reunion. Reminding that there was only about 5 days counting down to it and I didn't even prepare anything for it.

However my dad just gave me a slight glance and smiled, and continued to stare at the table. The food had finally came and I was so excited because i hadn't eaten since lunch.

I took my first bite of my "quesadilla"
And "oh my godddd!!",That was delicious. And I could the site of satisfaction on my parents face while trying there food."it was hard for anyone to please my parents epically when it comes go food".

After we ate I could see the looks of despiration on my parents face as they were looking at eachother. Looking as if they were kinda communicating with eachother quietly. Kinda looking like they were trying to say something to me but then they didn't. We later then waited for the bill and paid it off.

By the time we were leaving the restaurant it was already dark outside ,and I couldn't even tell what time it was because I wasn't wearing a watch and I had to leave my phone in the car. After a short walk back to the car we went in and the driver took off. Just a short moment after I heard my mom saying something to me "ariah hunny there is something we need to tell you" uh huh I knew from the looks of there faces. My dad then continued with " Alex will be moving in with us from tommorw".

We have been trying to find a good time to tell you at the restaurant but u looked so happy and we didn't want to ruin your mood. And I know u two don't get along very well but you will have to learn to cooperate with him from now OKAYYY??

"WHAT" I bladderd out T--tomorrow?
WHYY?? my mom then proceeds to tell me because he had been moving up here to look for a better job so it would only be fair for him to stay with us...

Alex was a family friend of ours. He was the son of my mom's childhood bestfriend,who had moved away a couple years ago. He was two years older than me and wasn't the nicest person. I felt a pit in my stomach heavy and my heart racing out of my chest, as I rested my head against the window of the car only getting horrible flashbacks of what he would do to me. Feeling my body shivers just thinking about it.

After we got home I went straight to my room and into the shower where I just collapsed onto the floors hugging myself as the water falls onto my skin crying. Remembering all the horrible things that happened the things I tried to forget and move on from but I guess it's always going to be there.

Alex and I techincally grew up together but I wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. As kids he would touch me at places where be shouldn't have and always tried to force his self onto me.
But I was young I didn't know what was right from wrong ,I didn't know what he was trying to do. I always tried to fight him off but I was just too weak. My parents truested him around me and I guess be took the advantage of that , advantage of me!!!.

He never got to actually do anything but he would sexually harass me, he'd touch my ass and try to kiss me and he would even call me names like bitch and whore or slut. But as I got older I realized what he was trying to do and it hurts to know it "the truth it always hurts".

That someone so close to me would try to even do something like that. And I know that he would try to take advantage of me again. And I'm scared of it I don't want my firsts to be with him meaningless and hurtful i want it to be "special"with "someone special".

Although I would try to tell my mom she would never belive it she would say that I'm just imagining things. And although I haven't seen him in a while and it's been years. I'm still scared, I'll always be scared of him.

I finally got out of the shower , i then changed into some Pjs and went straight to my bed not realizing that it's been atleast one hour. It was already 11. I literally don't want tonight to end because I will have to be putting up with that jerk again which only made me feel even worse just thinking about him. I snuggled my bear and tried to fall asleep.

But failed because I couldn't stop thinking about what was gonna happen tomorrow.

____________________________________

Some time later I heard loud knocking on my door, groning as I opened my eyes not realizing that it was already the next day. I tried to get up as fast as I can and went to check who it was totally forgetting that I had a dress fitting appointment today.

"Hello ma'am rise and shine good morning to you, you have a long day ahead of you today. Your breakfast is ready in my the main dining room" said misses Laren "thank u miss" I softly replied to her. "Also ma'am I was told to remind you about the dress fitting today for the school reunion the stylist will be here shortly so I hope your ready". "Thank you miss lauren" I said as I slowly closed the door.

I got happy just thinking about my school reunion and about the dress fitting mainly because I never get to go anywhere except with my parents. well that excitement didn't last very long as I remembered the thought of Alex just brought me back to reality.

HI YALL I APPOLIGUISE IF MY CHAPTERS ARE TOO SHORT BUT I'LL TRY TO IMPROVE ON THAT!!!
