Back Together ~ pt 4

❤︎︎ Twenty-Seven ❤︎︎

A month had gone by and I still had a broken arm. Mum's hair had grown a bit more and she was definitely happy that it was growing but still wore her wigs. I couldn't blame her. She loved her long hair more than anything. Everything was actually okay for me until I went to school. I had just finished science and I was walking down the stairs before I got pushed. I knew exactly who pushed me. One of my bullies. Everything went black and then I woke up with insane pain in my head and ankle. The nurse dealt with me but I still felt so bad. My head was banging and I couldn't put any weight on my ankle. I literally had to hop to the gate to find dad. He took one look at me and knew I had a big fall down the stairs. He picked me up so I wouldn't have to hop to the car. He put me in the passenger seat and put my hair up.

"Sweetheart, tell me every single thing that happened" he said

"they pushed me... they pushed me down the stairs... one second I was walking down them and the next second I was pushed down and hit my head on the floor... I don't think my arm is any more broken than it was before but my head and ankle are killing..."

"Let's get you to the hospital then" he said. I had my ankle wrapped up and I wasn't allowed to sleep until later on in the day because I had a concussion but dad was meant to keep a close eye on me. I wasn't able to use crutches for my sprained ankle because of my broken arm so I was just told to be on bed rest until it healed which meant 2 weeks off school. Dad gave me the best head massage when we got home. He even let me sleep with him and mum so they could keep an eye on me while I slept. I was definitely gonna be a pampered princess for 2 weeks

The 2 weeks honestly flew by so fast. Too fast... I didn't want to go back to school... and I wanted to see Jackson again. I hadn't seen him since the start of the year. I literally felt like crying but then dad walked in.

"Sweetheart, you okay?" He said as he walked in

"I miss Jackson..." I said. Dad instantly wrapped his arms around me and held me close

"I know you miss him... But remember, it's only for a little while longer. You can video call him whenever you want"

"but that's not the same as being next to him... I hate long distance relationships... maybe me and Jackson shouldn't be together..."

"Baby girl..."

"What??"

"just because the distance is hard doesn't mean you and Jackson shouldn't be together. Love finds a way, remember?"

"That's such bullshit"

"Maybe it is. But sometimes, we have to look beyond what's convenient or easy and focus on what our hearts truly want. Don't give up on love just yet, okay?"

"Why shouldn't I??"

"Because love is worth fighting for. It's not always easy or perfect, but it's worth the effort. And if Jackson is worth fighting for, then you should hold onto him. You don't always need him by your side though"

"it's been like 4 or 5 months since I last saw him!!! I'm losing my shit!!!"

"Yes, it's hard and I know how much you both love each other. But imagine how much he misses you too. Every day he wakes up and wishes he could be here for you"

"I just want to be with him right now... why does he have to live in fucking Monaco while we're here in fucking Wales. We're literally living in a shithole compared to Monaco. everywhere in the world is a shithole compared to Monaco!!!"

"Watch your mouth. This is our home and it's not a shithole"

"why are you getting pissy?? you're not even welsh!! me and mum are!!! I didn't even want to be welsh!!"

"I am not getting pissy. And I never claimed to be Welsh"

"then why are you defending this shithole??!!"

"Because it's our home and it's not a shithole. And I will not tolerate you speaking about it that way"

"what you gonna do?? ground me??"

"Yes. I am going to ground you until I see some respect coming from you. Maybe then you'll realise the value of what you have"

"all because I said that this country is a shithole?? are you fucking kidding me??"

"You need a lesson in appreciation"

"Fuck you then!!!"

"Don't you dare talk to me like that, Liliana. You're grounded until further notice"

"fuck off, dad!!! get out of my room!!!"

"Your mother and I have had enough of this nonsense"

"and...? what you gonna do? kick me out the house?"

"Watch your step. You might not like the consequences of your actions" he said. I had enough of his shit. Enough of this shit family. I decided to sneak out and go to a rave. I wanted to go to one anyway so I snuck out later that night.
