(this chapter's name comes from what is happening to me right now. MY IPAD WON'T CHARGE AND I NEED IT TO DRAW THE COVER FOR ANOTHER STORY I'M WORKING ON HELPPPPP)
penelope's pov:
what was i doing?
i can't stop running.
i should stop, but something keeps pulling me forward.
out the doors,
through the parking lot,
i could end up on the other side of town, i wouldn't know.
i'm going to run home.
isolate,
wait until the weekends over,
go to school,
and pretend joshua still loves me.
i know it'll just hurt me.
but...heh...i-i-i probably deserve it. :)
my legs are tired
my ribs ache
i stop running.
i lean against a wall and look up to the sky.
sunny.
like most days in this town,
it reminds of when my dad cheated on my mom with my mom.
it was complicated, DON'T ASK.
but...
i'll tell anyway.
basically, my dad had IBS and kept ruining the plumbing system. my mom kept polietly telling him to stop, but he kept doing it anyway.
eventually, he got a letter from the city telling them to "please stop ruining the sewer system, we have no clean water or food because of your stupid IBS, whatever that means...
he found out that my mom had ratted him out. he went on dating apps to find someone else, and eventually found a beautiful woman.
it was my mom's old profile, her nephew hacked in and activated it again. for reasons unknown.
he kept talking to it, chatting all night and day.
all while my mom was pregnant with me.
she secretly went through his phone and found the conversations.
being the independent woman she is,
she left him.
and i never got to meet my father.
now, everytime someone has a good father,
i have to rain on their parade to make myself feel better.
it's just what i do lol
anyway, i'm broken.
sigh...
if only i hadn't run away.
but... i guess i deserve it... :)
(Note: IBS is a very real condition and shouldn't be made fun of, but I couldn't think of anything else 😭)
