Reckless Heart

Chapter 19

CHAPTER 19 

Quit the band? Break up with him? Is my mother insane? 

Damn it. I can't. 

When I left her hotel the guard gave me my back pack. I felt the urge to NOT go back to the academy...yet. I sighed and looked around, it was nearly noon so what would a 15 year-old girl do at a time like this? I have no idea. I know it's not so Yuri to cut classes but I wasn't in the mood. What would you feel if your Mother's controlling your life? I touched my left cheek, it didn't hurt anymore. 

It felt like minutes but when I looked at my cellphone it was already 2 in the afternoon I was walking for almost three hours and I had 12 new messages but I didn't read them. 

"Oh God. I'm hungry." My feet hurt and I was freezing. I almost forgot that it was December and I was walking in my school uniform. 

That's when an idea formed. 

Revenge. 

I entered a park where it was almost deserted, it was a school day anyway the kids are probably still at school and some passerby's were looking at my uniform. I stand out. I hate it. I sat on the nearest bench that I found and opened my bag pack. 

"I know it's here somewhere." I mumbled. 

After a few minutes I found what I was looking for. 

My wallet. And I took out my Mother's credit card which I never ever used before and she told me to use it for 'emergency' only. 

"Emergency my face." I said as started to look for the nearest 5-star restaurant and some stores. 

"I love having money." I said smiling to myself 

At the end of the day I bought 7 new pairs of sneakers, A LOT of shirts, a heart-shaped silver necklace, some teen novels (yeah, I read. big surprise) and don't forget the food! What can I say, shopping makes ANY girl happy... for a while. I even had my nails done. I almost forgot my mom and everything that was before my cell phone rang. 

Oh damn. I thought as I flipped my phone. 

It was Vince. 

"Hello?" I asked. 

"Holy.. Yuri! Where are you? Dexter's worried sick!" 

"She answered?" I heard from the other line. "Let me talk to her." 

Dexter. I pictured him inside my mind worried and all. How can I be so selfish? 

"Yuri?" I heard Dexter say. 

"Hey, I'm so sorry. I lost track of time." 

"Where the hell are you?" He asked in a serious tone. It reminded me of my mother. 

"I'm outside the academy..." 

"You're what? It's almost 7!" 

"I-" 

"No- I don't... Never mind. We're here in G-clef. We have to record a song, remember? Where exactly are you I'm gonna pick you up?" 

Yes, it's just been almost 2 weeks after he turned 16 and he already has a car. 

"No need. I can walk. Just a couple of blocks." 

I heard him sigh, "You sure? Be careful." 

"Yes, Bye-" But before I can say anything else he hang up. 

First my mother now my boyfriend. What's next? 

While I was riding the elevator to our studio I read every text message I received and other than that I had almost 25 missed calls.
