“Why won’t you just leave my life alone?” I screamed at them hoping they’d get the hint and get out

“Because we’re your parents and we love you” my dad spoke calmly

I mockingly laughed at them “Parents who love their children won’t force them to go into a work field that their child wants nothing to do with or get with something who she doesn’t give a toss about”

“I feel that you joining the business would be the best career choice”

“I don’t care about your feelings” I snapped at them hoping they’d listen but of course I was hoping for too much

“What about Craig, he’s a gentleman and has even agreed to marry you”

“He’s agreed to marry me because his parents have probably forced him into it because you want to merge your businesses together and it’s not happening so he can shove his marriage up his ass”

My mother gasped “That is such foul language Alana, the negative effect of this place is rubbing off on you”

“I. don’t. give. a. flying. fuck” I sneered at them, my mother’s eyes widened probably at my language but I was past caring

“Well we hope that you consider the option we’ve laid out for you, we just want the best for you” my dad was unfazed by my language

“What’s best for me is different to the options you’ve laid out for me”

“We’ll see you later Alana” My mum spoke before she left with my dad.  Scumbag parents, I thought to myself

“I thought it’ll never end” Carolina came out of her bedroom, her hiding place, when she heard that my parents were arriving, she didn’t really like them and I wasn’t surprised; I didn’t like them and they made me.

“Well it did and hopefully they’ll never come back” I sighed throwing myself against the sofa

“You say that every time they visit” she pointed out

“Well then let’s hope this time it’s different” I snapped at her

“There’s no need to take out your anger on me” she snapped back

“I’m sorry” I apologised realising she was right, my parents just riled me up and it took some time for me to calm down “Are you going to see James?”

“Naa, we broke up”

My eyes widened “But you were so good together and he said he loved you”

“Turns out he just wanted to get in my pants”

“Oh”

“Yeah I caught him making out with a slag that had fewer clothes than a stripper and then he drunkenly told me that he just wanted for sex. Of course I slapped and kicked him in the balls ruining his masculinity as he started crying”

“Wow”

“Yeah I think I’m done with relationships for now until I finish college, I don’t want any guy to mess me around and I ju-”

“-st want to get the degree and find a career then settle down with a man and have kids and a house”  I finished off with a smirk on my face “You do realise you give the same speech after you dump a guy or he dumps you” I pointed out

“If you weren’t one of my closest friends I’d have bitch slapped you”

“Yeah, yeah we all know that you don’t have the heart to do that”
