The Day I Left You

Chapter 10

Siren felt like she could conquer anything that life was to throw her way. After feeling like a mistake for so many years she finally found someone that gave her a reason to go on with life. Someone that made her want to wake up in the morning once again. After Claire left Siren she to thought that she would not be able to deal with life but now she realized that she never needed Claire. It had been three weeks since Claire had actually replied to Siren's messages. She would look at them but would never reply them. 

Siren knew that her mom would not like that Andy bought her the ring so she tried her hardest to hide it. Hiding it was the hardest thing to do. Siren hated taking off the ring so she tried her hardest to keep her mom's eyes away from the ring. It had been three days later when her mom notices the ring.

"Did Andy give u that ring?¨ Margot asked in a harsh tone. Her face was red from anger. Siren did not say a word she just kept looking at cars passing by outside the window on her way to school. She could see the people walking to their destination while the sun was shining bright at them.

"I asked you a question!" She said yelling. Siren tried to look at her but she could not. She would just look pass her to the hospital behind her. It was white with a tan colored roof. There was a numerous of cars parked in the parking lot. From old cars to the newest versions. The hospital was big and she remembered getting lost in it when she went to go visit her friend that had been in there for cancer. Siren hated the hospital. Every time she would go was because she was told bad news .Siren finally was able to look at her mother and noticed that her face was as red as a tomato. Her mom was trying keep her eyes on the road but she was having a big struggle. Siren was starting to get scared. She could see her mother's hand tightening the black steering wheel. As soon as they got to school Margot told Siren that she was going to have a serious talk with her at home. After her mother yelled at her she got kicked out of the car. Siren was frighten about what was going to happen when she got home. 

"My mom finally saw the ring. She is enraged."

"She won't do anything, right"

"I do not think so." 

The day was perfect till Siren had to go home. She was waiting for her mom inside the school. Siren was nervous about what her mother was going to say. She was shaking, her stomach was in pain like when she went to the hospital. Andy tried to calm her down but he was not able to. She was terrified. The whole floor was spinning. Siren phone started to vibrate as her mother started to call her.

"Hello?" 

"Where are you? I have been waiting outside for you for the last five minutes." Yelled Margot into Siren's ear. 

"I am going, mother." Siren whispered as she hung up the phone. Siren walked toward the blue ferrari. The grass was wet as Siren stepped into it. As she got closer her stomach would hurt more. She could see her mother's face as she got closer. Margot had a serious face while she was on the phone with her Sister that she had not talked to in five months. Siren opened the door and stepped into the car. She put her black Jansport backpack into the back seat. About five minutes after Siren had entered the car her mother had hung up the phone. She was still able to catch what Margot and her aunt were talking about. Margot was asking her sister about what to do with the whole situation with Siren. There was silence in the car. She stared out the window once again just like she had on her way to school. The sun was getting covered by the clouds. There was barely any people walking anymore. It had looked like it was about to rain. 

"You do not really care about him. I know you just like him because of the expensive things he gives you. You have to focus on school. He is a distraction. All he wants is sex and once he gets you pregnant he will leave you with the kid. You will have ruined your whole life. You will not be able to go to school and become a lawyer just like your mother. You will have to get a job and raise the kid on your own." Margot ranted on for what seemed like forever to Siren. Siren would not listen. The words went in one ear and out the other. Even though Siren did not actually listen to what her mother was saying she did start to cry. The tears were running down her face as if someone she loved had just died. She did not know why it hurt so much to hear what her mother was saying but it did. She  tried to block her mother's voice but she could not. She stared at all the cars pass by her window. She looked at the people as they pointed at her mother's car. 

"Do you understand?"

"Yes mother."

They were finally home. Siren ran into her room to call Andy and tell him what her mother had just told her. She tried to tell him exactly what happened but she could not. She was still in tears and it was hard for her to get the words to come out of her mouth.

"She says that I have to focus on school and who knows what. She kept talking how we do not actually love each other."
"Do not listen to her. We love each other and it does not matter if she wants to believe it or not. We know it and that is all that matters."

"You are right. I love you so much."

"I love u too." They talked on the phone for hours till it was ten at night. After saying that they both had a long day and were fatigue they fell asleep on the phone.
