Living your dream

chapter 31

Chapter 31

You feel trapped by your own parents, how could they do that to you especially your mom, she was so happy for you a few hours ago and now after one phone call everything changed, why didn’t you just tell her everything the minute you came home but you wonder what difference that would have made, she has always been somewhat intimidated by your dad and always took sides for him. You don’t know what to do and you look at Justin hoping he has any idea on how you’re going to get away here but he has as much of a clue as you do. Justin holds on to you tight as your dad gets closer, you feel safe and you know Justin isn’t gonna let anything happen to you.

“can’t we just sit down and talk about this” Justin says calmly to your dad but by the look on your dads face it doesn’t look like he’s about to change his mind any time soon, “I think you did enough damage already” you dad spats at Justin, “I want you as far away from my daughter as possible” . you just had about enough of this “dad stop it, Justin never did anything wrong. I love him and no one is gonna stop me from being with him !” you shout pissed.

“he never did anything wrong ?! and what do you call this ?” he says sarcastic pointing at his face that’s bruised and covered in blood from the bloody nose Justin gave him.

“you have yourself to thank for that!” you yell.

“what on earth is going on here?” you hear your mom’s voice. “can’t we talk about this inside where the neighbors can’t hear us?” she says in a calm voice .

“I have nothing more to say to him” you wave your arm at your dad.

“you’re not 18 yet so you still have to listen to me” he says angry, he’s getting closer and you hold on to Justin even tighter afraid that if you let him go your dad is gonna grab you.

“I don’t have to listen to a word you say if those words are lies!” you get angrier with every second that passes and your heart is racing .

“okay that’s enough!” your mom shouts from the doorway, “(y/n) get inside now ! and Justin I think it’s best that you leave, this is a family matter” .

“no!” you now snap at your mom, “I’m not going anywhere without Justin and if you don’t agree than I guess we have nothing more to say to each other”. Your mom looks shocked when she hears you say those words. “is that really what you want ?” she asks and you hear sadness in her voice. “no but if he refuses to tell the truth I have no other choice” .

Your mom looks so hurt and you already regret what you said to her, you don’t want to leave things like this with her, one thing is sure with or without her approval you’re leaving with Justin no matter how much it hurts you thinking that you’ll probably never see her again. “maybe you should talk to your mom alone” Justin whispers in your ear. You nod letting him know he’s right, ”but you’re coming with me, I’m not leaving you here with him”.

“okay” he says smiling.

“mom can we talk alone without him?” referring to your dad. “sure but inside” she says , you and Justin go inside the house while your mom goes over to your dad ,just before you enter the house you hear her say “why don’t you go for a drive to calm yourself down and I’ll talk to here, try to change her mind”. Your dad gets into his car without any argument and drives off and your mom joins you and Justin in the house, you really hope she’ll believe you when you tell her your side of what happened, the only true side.

“do you remember when I got home and how upset I was?” you start when all three of you took place on the couch in the living room, “yes you stormed upstairs before I could stop you” your mom says, ”that’s cause I was too much on shock and upset to talk about it” you let her know.
