I Think I Like The Bad Boy

15// "we're getting a divorce"

I pulled away from my mom as she continued. Her voice turned cold. "We're getting a divorce too."

I looked at her with tears stinging my eyes.

"You can't. Shyane wouldn't even allow you. We don't want one parent!" I yelled crying.

"I can't stand fighting all the time," my dad said calmly.

"I don't care! Can't you guys just do marriage counseling!" I yelled following them in the kitchen.

"No!" My mom said signing the divorce papers.

I ran out if the kitchen and sat on the couch. I forgot Ace was here until his arms wrapped around me in comfort.

After awhile I finally quit crying and went to type but it was all finished. I looked at Ace with a smile on my face. "Thanks," I whispered before seeing my dad packing.

That just made more tears. Before he picked up his stuff to leave I ran over to him and hugged him. I can't believe they are getting in a divorce.

I looked back at Ace and said, "Please, don't tell anyone."

He nodded his head and left. Before he could get out the door my mom stopped him.

"Is this your project partner?"

"Yes."

"Ace, right?"

"Yes, mom! Leave him alone so he can leave!" I snapped.

"I'm so sorry for what you had to hear and see," she said and walked to her bedroom.

Ace left and I walked to my room and cried myself to sleep.
