Enchanted

Chapter 3

I heard the familiar voice. I turned around slowly. Sarah. I let out a breathe of relief. "Oh, my God Sarah. You nearly scared the soul out of me" I say, with an angry tone in my voice.

She shrugged her shoulders, a smile forming. "Sorry, Lizzy. Just wanted to scare you."

I scoot over a bit so the swing could fit us both. "What happened at your house? I heard a lot of screaming last night." Sarah asks.

"My parents were fighting again." I sigh.

We stay in a comfortable silence for few minutes before Sarah speaks again. "Do you think your parents are going to get divorced?" Sarah asked suddenly. Sarah was the type of way of person who always blurted out stuff, even if it wasn't nice at all.

I shrugged my shoulders. "How am I supposed to know?"

She put her head on my shoulder. "When my parents got killed in that car accident last year,I thought I had no one else who would love me. There was only one of relatives who wanted to take me in. That was my Auntie Dani. It was a good thing she took me in, since I would have never met you if I had gone to an orphanage."

It sounded like it came out of a Disney movie, but it really is true. I wrap my arms around her, pulling her more closer to me. " I know" I murmur.

After that, we stayed for thirty minutes catching up for all the stuff we did so far. I didn't say a lot since i didn't do much except going to the woods and watching YouTube videos. After Sarah left I grabbed my notebook and wrote in it.

"I went to the woods early this morning,without mom and dad knowing. I woke up to hearing mom and dad fighting again. Hopefully the fights will stop. I really don't want my parents to be divorced. After all that I heard in the movies and books, it sounds depressing. After I ate breakfast, I went to the woods, where Sarah scared me and I nearly pissed myself. She told me the story about her mom and dad dying the car accident. She sounded sadder than when she told it before many times."

I closed my notebook, and ran to go back to my house. Once I reached it, I climbed in my bedroom window. Again, I liked doing this because it made me fell more adventurous. I climbed into bed, tired as hell, and fell asleep.

*******************

I woke up from my two hour nap. Even though I had a two hour nap, I still felt sleepy. I walk out of the room, finding my mom painting a picture of the woods behind our house. Mom's paintings were hung up on every wall. My favorite that she had done was a painting of a unicorn, which was hanging up in my room.

"Hey mom."

"Someone's up from their nap, finally" my mom said giving me a small smile.

My dad used to tell me I looked just like her. Same jet black hair, same bright, striking blue eyes. Sarah had said I was the "female version of Phil" I did have really pale skin, though.

I made myself a cup of tea, along with a muffin, and went back into my room.

I got my computer and watched some YouTube and Netflix. I had the whole summer to do whatever I wanted to do, but I chose the Internet to spend my whole summer and life over.

I heard the door open. Dad must've come home early from work I thought.

I went out of my room again. Dad did come home. I stared at him. It was an awkward silence. I never had a full conversation with him since last year. Mom had already left the room.

I coughed. "Hi dad." I said.

"Hi Elizabeth."

It grew to even more awkward in a matter of seconds. I mentally punched myself. Why are you so stupid?! A "hi dad" is all I can say?

I slowly walked backwards closer to my room. "Mom, dad's here!"

    My mom opened the door, and was surprised when she saw dad.

    "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

    "I asked my boss if I could come home early."

    "Why?"

    "To spend time with Elizabeth, though she doesn't seem to want me here."

    "Well, when your dad is never at home, wouldn't you feel like complete strangers after one year of never having a father figure around the house?" I suddenly perk in,

    Mom and dad look at me like I just magically appeared.

    "Elizabeth, please go to your room" mom said pointing at my door.

    "No"

    "Elizabeth, GO now" mom says again, louder this time.

    "No. I'm sick of you guys fighting all the time. I have just as much right to be in the argument, and try to fix the problem, instead of making a bigger pile on top of another" I say calmly.

    Mom looks like she has enough of it."Elizabeth, go to your room! This is private and you shouldn't have your head shoved in it!" Mom yells.

    "No!" I yell back at her. " I have just as much right to be in-"

    I couldn't finish my sentence since I felt a hand go across my cheek.

    I cry hot tears of pain, anger, and sadness. I go into my room lock the door, grab my phone and my notebook, and head off into the woods again.
