Diane!

I told you NOT to..

Avril's POV -

I know my mom had set an appointment for me on wednesday, which was the day after tomorrow. I heard her talking to Doctor Sequera when I pushed her out of my room. I just don't know what came over me. I was very surprised my self at the way I had reacted. Why hadn't i borne her for a few more minutes. She didn't need to see this side of me. Actually ,nobody needed to see this side of me.

After she left from outside my room I gazed at the rays of sun falling into my room. It had been a while since i went out into the sunshine. It was almost as if i had become afraid of the light. 

This thought scared me. The fact that my thinking had drastically changed. Who knew what would happen to me tomorrow. 

Wait! What day was it tomorrow? It's like i knew what it was but couldn't remember what! So i got off my bed, walked up to the calendar beside my dressing table. There it was. The date was encircled in red and marked 'My Birthday' . I smiled. I don't know why, but after all this happening in my life, this little day gave me a jolt of pleasure. 

I grabbed my hoodie n sneakers and rushed out of my room. I walked down the steps. My legs felt weird, considering i hadn't used them in ages n that I had broken my leg. I heard loud sobs once i was finally down. And i knew who was crying and where.

I headed towards the kitchen. I was about to enter when i heard a male voice in there too. My heart soon skipped a beat. 'He' was back!!!

"Dad! " i managed to shriek as i rushed into his arms! "I've missed you so much! You've been gone for weeks! Why haven't you called?"

"Avril! I've missed you too darling, and i'm sorry for not calling or returning your calls. My work- well honey my work- it messed things up and- and i had to stay , but- but then i knew it was your birthday so i came home"

"My Birthday?" i asked him. "You remembered?"

"Of course I remembered it honey. How couldn't I? You sent me 5 texts a day about it." grinned my dad. I knew he was kidding.

 I loved my dad , more than anything else in this world. And it was maybe because i got to see so little of him. My dad's business always kept him on the move and hence he was rarely ever home for any of us's birthday. But he had come. For me! 

"Well so doesn't it mean that i get new clothes n a treat?" i said with a sparkle in my eye!

"Of course it does! I'm starving and dying to see you in some better clothes than the one's you r wearing ryte now" he giggled. 

"Right! Be right back" i called over my shoulder. Broken leg or not Im going shopping!!

I practically ripped off my clothes n put on some better one's. I carefully combed my hair and put a little lipgloss. 

Soon i was sitting in the backseat of my car as we drove down. I  had a really fun day.. I drove my dad crazy with all the weird stuff i wanted, and everytime he said 'no'! i would go "But it's my Birthday" and he would melt. 

After what seemed like years we came back home. My mom had kept ready for us hot chocolate. After drinking that and cracking endless jokes , my mom made me try on all the clothes i had bought to see how they looked and to choose which one i'd wear for tomorrow's party which apparently she had thrown for me. 

So it was a long night. I was too excited to sleep. but in the end, I did! 

I woke up to the sound of chirping birds which meant that i was awake real early. I had to be. Awake i mean. I had school after all. Yes, i know what you guys are thinking. 'me? wanting to go to school?' 

But i felt happy. I felt safe. I felt like my old life was back. 

I got up, walked up to my window and drew the curtains open andshriked!

"aaaaaaaaa! Diane! " "You scared me! what are you doing here?"

Diane walked in and sat on my bed and asked me "Going to school Huh?"

"Um, Ye-yes! I sure am!"i grinned stupidly.

"And which part of ' your not going to school ' did u not understand when i said so?" she snapped.

"But why shouldn't I go to school Diane? Isn't that what you always wanted? The best for me?" 

"Sure I did!" she replied calmly. "But that was before you ruined my life, before you revealed my true identity , before you thought of destroying me" she glared with furious eyes.

Her words stung me "About that Diane!" i whispered "I did apologize. I din't mean to tell Doctor Sequera about you!"

"Oh! but you did princess! Its done, there is nothing you can do about it!" she smiled wickedly. 

"But Diane you dont under-" just then my dad came in.

"You coming down for breakfast honey? " "Happy Birthday by the way" he smiled.

"Yes dad, i'll be right with you." "And thanks " i returned the smile.

"Okay good. But who were  you talking to just now? "

"Um no one!" i replied hurriedly  " I was just singing"

"Very well, hurry up now" and with that i followed him out and hoped and prayed Diane wouldn't do anything reckless. 

School was good! My friends were all happy to see me . I made them promise they would be there at my party in the evening. They assured me they would. 

I came home all bubbly and happy. After a quick burger i rushed up to my room to get my dress n all ready for the evening. I practically ran up the stairs. I flung open my room door to find Diane sprawled across my bed.

"So, Your home?" she sneered. 

"Well if you see me standing in front of you then its pretty obvious ryte?" i snapped,annoyed at her. 

"OOh so you think your smarter than me now, do you?"

" No.." i said uncomfortably, not liking the tone of her voice. " Let it go Diane! I don't wanna fight" 

"Suit yourself Avril! Besides i just came in here right now looking for peace. I don't think im going to find it now"

I walked up to my wardrobe and pulled out my dress! And then the next things that happened seem to go by in a blur. My dress had a huge rip on it. I knew who had done this.

I was chocking with rage as i ran down the steps towards the culprit.

"Mom!" i shrieked. I knew it was her cause she hadn't really liked this dress yesterday.

"How could you do this to me mother?" i thundered , holding the dress up for her and dad to see. 

"Avril!" she gasped.  "I never-" 

Oh please, you hated this dress, didn't you"

"Its not like that Avril. I didn't even GO into your room!"

I was furious , shattered, crying. You name it.

"Why can't everybody just let me live my life ?" i yelled.

To which Diane who was standing behind me whispered

"Cause its not yours anymore to live, honey"...
