Fighting With My Heart

Chapter one. Not so nice revelations.

To say I was nervous was a understatement. My parents had told me they wanted me home straight from school no going over to jades house or going out to my pool. Apparently they wanted to talk, last time they wanted to talk I got a lecture on sex. Something I never ever want to repeat just the thought of how the "birds and bees" are makes me sick of all the analogies they used that one. They couldn't even be original and just say it bluntly I'm 18 not a 10 year old I didn't need the whole beating around the bush thing.

"Lila,honey your father and I have something important we wish to tell you." My mother Kayliee said. Right then by the look in her eyes. You know the I'm sorry but I'm about to ruin your life but don't worry mines hurting too look? Well she had it all the slumped shoulders misty eyes. Something was up just by how she was about to break down and dad wasn't his usual ill hold you and make you feel better self.

"Kayliee let me handle this since you clearly can't." My dads voice dropped with venom and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why.

"Lila" he continued with a grave voice  

"Your mother and I are divorcing you will be leaving with her to Vancouver and I won't be visiting if you want on holidays and summers you may visit if I'm not busy that is." I was stunned shocked to the core I couldn't figure out for the life of me if he was joking or serious.

I knew he was the minute my mother broke down in tears. Just at that moment some woman with firey red hair and a skin tight black dress with high. And I mean high ass heels walked in like she owned the place.

"Oh your still here? I thought you would have kicked them out by now Richard darling?" Wait why did she call my dad darling?! And why are we getting kicked out!!

" we just informed Lila what's happening love soon enough they will be gone never fret." He then turned to me

"Go upstairs and pack up all your things in the boxes already in your room leave nothing important behind as it will most likely never see you again." It was then that reality sunk in. My daddy the one who held me when I cried and showed me everything I loved who always made me smile. Turned into a cruel ad hateful creature someone I didn't know anymore.

"Daddy? Why are you being so mean?" I asked him in such a quiet voice I didn't think he had heard but he proved me wrong.  

"Because baby girl your mother and I have grown apart and I don't want you to see me with another woman and hate me more than you probably already do." For just a few moments his eyes softened and he pulled me in a tight embrace rubbing my back to comfort me like always. When he pulled away the iciness was back and fully present 

"Now go pack, leave some things if you want I won't touch them because you are my little girl but do take those things that are important to you."

I slowly nodded and headed for my room. Trying to memorize each and every hallway nook and painting just so I wouldn't forget.

I almost broke down and cried. But I couldn't mommy was already in tears and she needed someone to be strong if she couldn't. I slowly put all my pictures and belongings in the boxes given when I heard a quiet knock on my door.

"Come in." I say softly knowing whoever was on the other side heard.

My mother entered with a sad look on her face.

" sweetie we won't be leaving for a few weeks so you can say by go your friends and have enough time to get your school work into transition. I've already called the school and they've take the liberty of sending a fax of where you should be in your school work when you get there." She told me handing me a paper with all my classes on it and the appropriate places I should be. Quickly looking them over I smiled realizing I was ahead and would be fine catching up.

" I know this is going to be hard on you but my new job pays wondefully and I promise you it will be a nice wonderful change darling just you wait and see." She went to get up and leave but before she did I stopped her and gave her a big hug.

" I love you momma but why now I thought you were both happy?" I couldn't help but ask no one really explained the issue to me and I wanted to know.  

The look in her eyes told me I shouldn't have asked.  

" baby girl ill tell you when we're there for now just pack and worry about yourself love." And on that I was officially worried.
