An Unexpected Girl

Chapter 6: Distant Memories

Recap:

"Hello?"

"Adrianna?" A voice said sending me into a wave of shock and fear.

I began to shake and couldn't hold my phone properly, I swallowed the clump in my throat, "Dad?"

~ ~ ~ ~

"You need to come home." Oh no, not this again.

"Dad you know I can't-"

"Please honey, I miss you." A lump in my throat formed, I could feel the corner of my eyes sting.

"Dad please don't do this..."

"Please come home, I miss my little butterfly-" My heart clenched. "Stop dad, you're drunk-"

"Remember how you got that name? We used to go to the park every saturday? We would go to that little icecream stand and I would get you your favorite, rainbow sherbert." My eyes closed smiling at the memory.

"And we sat on the grass together, watching the sunset. Do you remember what you told me?"

I laughed a little, "I said, Daddy when I grow up I want to be a butterfly."

"That's right baby girl. And everyday since then I called you butterfly, your mother even told me not to do it anymore because she didn't want you to think you'd actually grow up being a butterfly."

I laughed, I missed times like these. When Dad and I could act like everything was okay, when WE were still okay. Of course it didn't last long.

"Adrianna, come home." I shook my head, even though I knew he couldn't see me. "No dad."

"Please baby, I'm better." I knew he wasn't, he got worse. "No, I can't-"

"Why the hell not?!" I cringed. "What do you think you're too good for me?! I do all this shit for you and this is how you repay me! Fine! You know what, you're worthless! You're disgusting! You're just like your mother! Fine, I hope you leave just like she did! I hope-" I slammed my phone shut, cutting him off.

I could feel my stupid tears falling down my face, the stupid tears I tried to keep in a bottle. I stayed standing there silently sobbing, constantly rubbing my forehead. I felt a warm hand wipe away my tears, "Are you okay?"

I breathily laughed, "Peachy."

Ethan looked at me with sympathy and concern, "Are you sure?"

"I'm fine, now can you stop looking at me like that? I don't need your sympathy."

"Who was that?" Completely ignorning my recent statement.

"None of your business."

"Well, it is my business. Since it made you clearly upset." My eyes widened, my veins beginning to bubble with anger.

"Since when do you care? Just because you saw me fucking cry doesn't mean shit! No one has ever cared about me before, so what makes you think out of all people, YOU are entitled to?!"

His eyes widened at my sudden outburst, he opened his mouth but no sound came out.

"No answer? Of course. You don't care. No one does, I mean for fucks sake! You don't even know me so stop acting like you give one single fuck about me!"

When I couldn't handle his silence anymore, I took my bags and stormed off letting my tears fall freely.

I wasn't thinking of where I was walking, I ended up at an old park. I sat on the swings looking up at the sky, counting stars. My life is so fucked up, why would anyone care? No one ever will.

Even though, part of me wished Ethan cared but, I know he doesn't and he never will.

And for some reason, that made me sad.

When I returned to the dorm, I was attacked by two bodies.

"Well hello to you too." I joked pushing Maria and Khloe off me, obviously they were mad because they didn't laugh.

"We were worried sick! Do you even know what time it is?!"

I shrugged looking down, feeling like a child being scolded by their parents.

"It's fucking 11:30 Adrianna! Where have you been?! And why do you smell like nature?"

"I was at a park..." I whispered.

"A park?! Doing what! Playing fucking tag with a gang member?!" Maria yelled.

"Going down slides with a rapist?!" Khloe barked.

I cringed looking up at them, "I'm sorry. I was just stressed out okay?"

Maria sighed holding the bridge of her nose, "No it isn't okay. You can't just go out to a park late at night!"

"I won't, I'm sorry. I didn't know you guys cared."

"Well, we do. A lot, so don't do stupid shit like that. Or we'll tie you up and feed you food through a door slot." Even though they were still mad, I was surprised but happy knowing that people actually did care. I hugged them both catching them off guard, "I'm so sorry I won't ever do that again."

They patted my back, "I care about you guys too." They smiled in return.

Hello! I took out a lot of stuff from the other chapters, I thought they were just too long and unnessacary. I'm gonna have chapters roughly around this long?

It's my first story so there's gonna be A LOT of changes!

This story might go up to like 20 chapters?

Maybe.

I'm lazy, and this took like 4 hours to write because of my emotions. Too much drama & shit going on right now.

Sorry.
