Because Of Her.

84 | Rudely funny.

My cousins ends me this picture on Insta and told me that she is perfect for Evanna. Now, I know, I know she looks too good to be true and I even asked my cousin if the image is AI generated but she found her on Pinterest. Well whoever she is, what do you guys think? Like she is so pretty though. (❁'◡'❁)


I lie down on my bed and feel frustration. Like I want to hit something so bad. For some reason tears rush down my cheeks and I angrily wipe them. I don't know why I'm crying. Maybe because my Mom yelled at me for standing up for her.

Or maybe because Liam yelled and disrespected her like that.

Whatever the reason is, he was so out of line. How could he do that to my Mom! She is the sweetest person, always looking after for others, and checks in with everyone related to their well-being. It was one thing that he tormented me like that with his words, it was my stupidity of taking it all in but who the fuck he thinks he is—dumping it on my mother like that?

And surprise, surprise my Mother down there wanted me to shut up, to calm down instead of snapping at Liam or taking my side when I was putting him in his place.

He is wrong if he thinks he can drag my Mom like he dragged me around with his behavior. Being rude to others was something I've accepted him for, he does talk like that to people. It was okay till it was between our age group, we can brush it off but—

"That was my Mother Goddammit!" I say angrily wiping my tears. I hear a commotion outside; confused I get up and peak through the window. Under the soft golden light of our yard I see Liam tugging at his hairs with a cigarette in his other hand. He is kicking the trash bin and I feel the urge to yell at him but before I can open my window and do so—Selena emerges.

She walks and stands behind him. I cannot hear what they're saying because they aren't that loud and my room is in first floor. Liam turns around to face Selena, I cannot see his face properly but Selena caress his cheeks before pulling him in a hug.

I shift backwards and lay on bed giving them privacy. I am highly annoyed that she feels like the need to coax him. I hear a knock on my door which snaps me out from my trance. I see the doorknob turning but I immediately turn my back so whoever is on the door can go away thinking I am sleeping.

"Eve?" I hear my Mom's voice and I snap my eyes close. I hear her footsteps approaching towards my bed until I feel the mattress dip.

"I know you're not sleeping." She says but I don't say anything and hear her sighing.

"I know you're mad that I shut you down there but I only did it because I didn't want you to say wrong things to your friend in the fit of anger." She continues.

"You were so mad and cursed out there like Lucas does whenever he gets frustrated over his cases. What happened to my Eve who used to make a cross and said it's not the right choice of words?" I hear her chuckling.

A minute passes until I feel her hand on my hair. "You're out of line for saying things about his parents." She tells me. I can't hold it and get up.

"I was out of line?" I snap. "He was! But what you did? Instead of letting me say and put him in his place you scolded me."

"I scolded you because I didn't want you get into it."

"Didn't get into what? I was fighting for you. He misbehaved with you but you encouraged that behavior of his."

"I didn't encourage anything. It was a misunderstanding."

"So I keep hearing it but you do not know him Mom."

"Do you?"

"What?"

"Do you know him? Liam." She asks and I pursue my lips.
