Back Together ~ pt 4

❤︎︎ Eight ❤︎︎

We got to McDonald's and he got our food. I found a spot and we sat down. I felt like shit. I had been such a shit daughter... I had to be honest with why I was acting like such a bitch.

"before you even say it... I know I've been an asshole over the last couple weeks, dad..."

"I know, sweetheart. And I'm sorry for being such a jerk. It's just..."

"you've not been a jerk... you're just being a dad... I get why you've grounded me... I'm sneaking out and I'm vaping and getting drunk with friends... I'm only 13 so I get why you've grounded me..."

"You're a lot like your mother, you know that? Always trying to make people feel better. No, I've been a jerk. And I'm sorry for that"

"I guess I am a decent amount like mum... I just feel like I'm constantly making hard work for you and mum..."

"You're not making things hard for us. We chose this life, remember? We wanted a family, and we wouldn't trade it for anything"

"but you guys didn't choose to have me being an absolute ass all the time..."

"You're not an ass all the time, sweetheart. You're just growing up and figuring things out. And we're here to help you through it"

"but that doesn't give me an excuse to act like a total cunt..."

"You're too hard on yourself, Liliana. You're a great kid, and you'll get through this rough patch. We all go through tough times, but it's how we handle them that matters"

"but I'm making you go through a rough patch too. just admit it... I'm a cunt"

"No, you're not. You're going through a tough time, yes. But you're not a cunt. You're our daughter, and we love you unconditionally"

"I am a cunt... you and mum should just post a picture of me on your instas and just put the caption as 'my daughter is a massive cunt'"

"No, we're not going to do that. You know why? Because you're more than just your behaviour right now. You're smart, funny, kind-hearted, and incredibly talented"

"Bullshit"

"Nope, not bullshit. I know you don't always see it, but your friends do, your teachers do, and we do. Don't sell yourself short, sweetheart. You're amazing"

"I hardly have any actual friends... the only friends I have just use me because I look older than them so I can get away with buying alcohol for the parties... that's the only reason I go to them... and my teachers basically hate me and you and mum hate me too..."

"You have friends, even if you don't see it. And while it's true that some people may use you, there are others who genuinely care about you. As for your teachers and us, we don't hate you"

"I know my friends use me... thing is not only do they use me to buy them alcohol for parties but they also use me for money... you give me like £500 allowance a week because of all your F1 money and the fact that you've got enough F1 money to keep us rich for the rest of our lives and the second I walked into that school and they saw my last name they knew I was your daughter and then I was just getting way too much attention for being Lando Norris' daughter and everyone knows we're rich so my so called friends just use me for the money... they make me buy them new clothes like every week with my allowance... the worst part is that they make it so obvious that they hate me because they're always calling me weird and different and I don't even have to guts to say that I'm autistic... dad, I literally hate everything... I started the vaping to calm me down and I got the navel piercing just because I wanted to get something that would make me happy but because those friends stole my allowance I had to basically bribe grandma to give me £60 to get it... i am literally a cunt"
