Flight

Samyrah's POV:

God knows what's crawled his pants that's making him behave so different suddenly I think as I make my way to the room, I then reach my door and see that Armand's already tucked Gia in bed, he gives me a smile saying, "There's some lemonade left for you, don't tell me if it's bad. G prepared it before we left. Sleep tight Cara" he says hugging me and I say "Goodnight Armand" after which he opens the door and as he leaves he turns saying on hearing my cell phone vibrate on the desktop, "That things been vibrating since we came up and Gia might have answered a call. It was a woman is what she told me" Don't tell me it was Mom. Fuck. She'll create a big scene at home if she found out Gia was drunk and if it gets irritating enough I know Dad will pull on a few strings here and there and I'll be caged once again"Oh. Okay. Thanks" I say to Armand. I shut the door close with a thud checking if the locks are secure and noticing there's an additional lock to the door as well making me smile thinking of Alessio being protective of his sister. God. I shouldn't get hung up on him. I walk towards my desk and pick my phone up seeing 25 missed calls. 9 from Mom and 8 from Dad and 8 from an unknown number. I first dial Mom's number and as I was about to disconnect it because I thought she would be busy she receives the phone and yells, "Where the hell have you died? There's no point of you having a phone. Do you have any sense of responsibility in you or not? You have gone to a new damn country where you know nobody.. To hell with you not knowing anybody.. Your father knows nobody there, he was about to send your details to the Los Angeles police department in a bit if that girl hadn't received my call. Who was she by the way? She sounded so drunk. I still haven't told your father about the way she spoke, I only heard her say 'she'll be up in a bit', 'Down somewhere' Who are you with Samyrah?" I rub my forehead and then tell her, "Mom look, I reached late okay? So I couldn't call you all immediately, I didn't even check into my dorm room. I met my roommate later and in fact I only put in the SIM after I took a shower after attending my classes" she then sighed and said, "You could have sent a message at least. How will we know you are alive?" I got pissed at that, "Now you know" I say through gritted teeth, "Don't talk like that to me Samyrah! You are lucky you're father isn't here. I don't want you to stay with that girl.. Your roommate. She didn't seem right" I interrupt her on hearing her "Mom, you can't judge someone. Especially on phone" she scoffed and said, "Oh you don't tell me how to look at people. You can't even have proper friends. You remember how they just left you to rot or do I have to remind you? You better remember you aren't there to make friends. You wanted to go study there so focus on it if not, you know the consequences you will face in the future. You are to fend for yourself by yourself if not we don't mind tying you to some boy in an arranged marriage and then he can do anything he wants with you and we won't interfere anymore then. So it's better you think of the current investment we've made on you, so that you go and try to achieve something if not you'll be in a kitchen washing vessels and cleaning the house. Don't you ever forget that" I say to her then, "When do you not remind me Mom? Don't worry, your money won't get wasted this time for sure. I'll apply for jobs soon so I can help you with the clearance of a few dues at the least" she kept quiet for a while and then said, "Remember to pick a job appropriate enough for you. I don't want you to take some silly profession which has no scope. Anyways, it's almost past 9 in the morning and I don't want to get late for work. Keep your phone on" As expected, not even a 'Be Safe.' So I just say "Okay. Bye" I then text Dad knowing he must be busy, so I type in a text

Me:

*Just spoke to mum
Was late because my flight got delayed.. Making me late to University as well. So I wasn't able to contact and it took long for my cell to set the network right.*

Ugh! Formalities done.
I then went towards the window in the room not wanting to disturb Gia who was sound asleep already. I then looked at the sky, it wasn't dark as in pitch black but was dark and void of stars it looked as though , wondering how people could neglect feelings as much as to the fact they forget that there has to be a way for the person who is being cared for to understand that they are being loved and not controlled. Honestly if this is the way every human behaves because they 'Care' then I'd rather not be cared for at all! First they bring you to a high and they suddenly drop you all of a sudden and you not only get hurt but you break.. And these people that apparently care for you just happen to be the ones that break you.. Little by little.. Everyday.
My phone starts vibrating again. I look at it And see that it's a message from an unknown number.
