So I sat down for lunch with mum, dad and Liss knowing full well that I was going to be asked where I was last night. They're going to act like they care but let me tell you now, they don't.
"So zoey, where were you last night? I noticed you didn't come home".. Obviously it had to be dad to start the conversation.
"I was out, you know, just chilling".. I answer with no varied tone in my voice. I wanted them to know that what mum said to me yesterday hurt and it wasn't acceptable. So I made sure I sounded extra annoyed.
"I asked where you were though?" He said, starting to get kind of annoyed. I could tell this by the way he was stabbing his salad repeatedly with his fork, sometimes missing it and making a screeching noise across the plate. Now that was annoying.
"I said I was out didn't I?" Now I was getting annoyed. I could feel all three sets of eyes digging into my skull as I kept my head down trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. I sound like I'm over reacting don't I? Well I'm not. I would normally be happy, but what's the point anymore? They'll just put me down again.
"Ooooo who pissed in your cornflakes?" And there she goes. The queen of the world speaks. Oh and look, it's something else to annoy me, typical. She had to go there didn't she. She pissed in my cornflakes, or she might as well have. She so immature. She's 46 for god sake, she needs to grow up. Maybe it's time she learns a few home truths. I could feel the anger inside of me start to build up and I was like a volcano ready to erupt. I was about to burst and it wasn't going to be pretty.
I was just about to pop and let mum know what I really think about the way she treats me. I was finally going to tell her everything I've wanted to since when I can remember, but of course, I was interrupted.
"Zoey..." It was Liss. Of course it was Liss. She was gritting her teeth at me and she was practically telling me through her eyes that I shouldn't say it. Mum was just getting ready to hear my lecture and dad was preparing to sit there acting all innocent, so of course I was going to get interrupted by Melissa. She was giving me the death glare. I had finally built up the courage to tell mum exactly what I thought of her and Liss ruined it. Brilliant.
By this point, I was half way up the stairs, stomping my feet like an elephant along the way. It was either be mad or cry and I can tell you now, I physically don't think I can cry anymore. For starters, I don't want to cry because that will just make me depressed and I don't want feel like that, so I'm going to be angry instead. I got in the room and slammed the door as hard as I could.
"You can stay in there now!" Is all I hear from downstairs, it was my father.
Stay in here? They've got to be kidding right? Hahahaha no I will not stay in here. It's their fault that I'm in this mood, so they can't ground me for something they did.
I was going to sneak out and cause some trouble, just because I can. So I was just packing a bag when 'Knock, Knock, Knock'
Hesitantly I said "come in"
It was Melissa. I bet she was going to try and stop me from sneaking out. Or she'll tell mum and dad. Or she might even not care because...
"WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL THAT ABOUT. YOU WERE BANG OUT OF ORDER BACK THERE" she shouted at me. Who does she think she is. I'm out of order?! What about mum, what about all the things she says to me?!
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! HOW AM I BANG OUT OF ORDER?" I scolded back at her. I told you she'd changed.
"YOU WERE SO RUDE. THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU SLEF CENTRED BITCH". She hissed back. Whoa whoa whoa. Who in the hell does she think she is. She knows nothing.
"ME RUDE?? DID YOU HEAR MUM YESTERDAY? OH WAIT
YOU COULDN'T HAVE BECAUSE YOUR NEVER HERE." She needs to get her facts right before she goes and shouts at me.
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!"she said. I could see by the look in here eyes that she was trying to be sincere.
"NO. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S NOT FAIR. ME BEING STUCK WITH THEM WHILE YOU GO LIVE YOUR DREAM. YOU NEVER SEE ME ANYMORE, TALK TO ME OR EVEN TEXT ME. IT LIKE I DON'T EVEN EXIST. THAT'S WHAT'S NOT FAIR" I've had enough, I can't do this anymore.
"But.." She began but was cut off by me grabbing my bag and running down stairs. It needs to stop. I'm not strong enough. I can't do this. Why can no one see that I'm falling apart.
I ran out the front door with tears streaming down my face. I slammed it shut and ran. I don't want to go back. No one would even care if I didn't. I'm done with them, all of them.
------------------------------------
Well I've decided to carry on just because it gives me something to do. Could you please tell me if you like it? It would be much appreciated:)
