It was now 7pm. I walked through the door holding a large stuffed unicorn that I won from ring toss.
"LAURA?!" Dad yelled from upstairs. Followed by quick creaky footsteps as the stairs held on for dear life.
He ran in and saw my face. He froze, ran and hug me. His warm arms wrapped around me. I smiled as I needed a hug my eyes felt dry and itchy from the balling while watching 'The beast' at the cinema. He pulled me off and held me by my shoulders.
"Where the hell have you been?" He said you could clearly see the redness and stress marks across his face.
"I needed some me time. I felt like I owed it to myself. "
"What happened?" He said apologetically but you could tell he knew it was mums fault.
"She had literally forgotten everything about me so I stormed out. But I accidentally fell asleep on a bench so that's why i didn't come home. I used my birthday money on a day out for myself and it was great. "
He looked at me again and hugged me tight. My unicorn fell to the floor as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. Me lifted me up and placed me on the couch and put on Scream Queens.
"Pizza?"
"Sounds good" I smiled.
You belong to me played through the TV as Emma Roberts and lea Michele screamed bloody murder.
He sat down next to me with leftover jalapeño and bbq sauce pizza from dominoes. My fave. We tucked in and watched the mystery untangle.
