Penelope's story

I am not the one

Damond light up his cigarette and took a blow.
Austin never did that, he never smoked in front of me.
I hate when people smoke in front of me, I get so uncomfortable.
" Want one? "
I said yes but I regret it when he gave me one. I just want to be cool for once and when I took my first blow it was really nice. I liked it.
" Since when do you smoke? "
He asked and sat up in the bed. " For a long time " I lied and put the sheets around my naked body.

___________________________
It has been weeks since my mums funeral and a lot of things has happened.
Since my dad isn't home anymore he gave me the house. Even tho he pays the rent it's my house now.
I haven't been in school anymore and I'm thinking to get online school.
Austin hasn't been talking to me for a while.
Sometimes he text me if I'm alright with a little smiley face.
Me and Damond are kind of together now and it feels so weird. He has kind of moved in here because he in a lot of problems with the mafia shit.
But it's not like I mind.

Me and Damond are going to my favorite restaurant!
I'm so exited!
I was wearing a tight white dress and my converse.
" Are you ready my Lady? "
Damond said from downstairs.
I did the last touch at my dress and walked downstairs.
" Let's get fat! "
I took his hand and we ran down to the car together.

When we arrived there
Were a lot off people at the restaurant.
Luckily Damond has made a reservation.
Our table was close to the chocolate fountain.
I ordered a Pizza and Damond ordered one of the most expensive dish at the restaurant.
It was so romantic.
" Excuse me " I got up from the chair and ran to the bathroom.
This was the restaurant my dad proposed to my mum when they were 18.
My tears kept falling and I couldn't breath.
I miss my mum so much and sometimes I think that I could have saved her.
I could have go too the mall with her that day.
Instead of saving my mum I was at a really big meeting where Austin was. I don't think he will ever forgive me.
But the way he hit Damond and the way he yelled at me I won't forgive him either.
He really fucked me up.
I walked to the bathroom mirror and just stared at my self.
The mascara was all over my face and I looked like a panda.
I started to laugh.
Every time I had old make up on my face my mum always called me a panda.
She rubbed her cold hands on my face to get it off.
Now I did it myself, I got some water from the sink and rubbed it all over my face.
The door opened and a beautiful woman got in.
I have seen her from somewhere.
" Isn't it the curious young lady her self "
That's when I remembered it.
She was the woman that broke my family up.
" isn't it the the home wrecker her self " I said and whipped the water off my face.
" Don't talk to your step mother like that ! "
" You are not even a little close to be my step mum "
" Is that so? "
She showed her hand and there was a gigantic diamond ring on her finger.
" Your little dad proposed to me today at this restaurant! It's like you were there Hun "
" You little whore "
I smashed the paper to the garbage can and walked fast out of the toilet.
I got out and looked around to see my dad.
There he was, on the exact same table as my mother and him.
I walked towards dad and he saw me.
He got a bit scared in his eyes but he smiled.
" hi honey! " He said and smiled.
" How could you?! How dare you even be here and propose to the woman that broke OUR Family apart?! "
He got up from the chair and put his hand on my cold shoulder.
" DON'T you dare touch me! "
I pushed him out of my way and walked to Damond who stood up with worried eyes.
" Let's go. " I took his hands and dragged him out of there.
We got outside and Damond picked up a cigarette.
" You want one? "
I nodded and light up mine.
" you got to be fucking kidding me? "
I looked up from the ground and saw Austin with four other guys.
I have never seen them before.
He took my cigaret right out of my hand and threw it away.
" Why the fuck did you learn her to smoke dickhead? "
Damond threw his cigarette on the ground and got closer to Austin and his friends.
" I am not the one who got her in to all of this " Damond said and got closer to his face.
" Oh please. I am not the one who went to the meeting with her " Austin said and pushed Damond off his face.
" DONT get close to me and don't you dare talk to me like that. Oh and have fun Penelope" he and his boys turned around and walked to a black Mercedes.
" Fuck this shit "
I got away from the wall and started to walk home. Damond didn't even stop me.
