Nobody's hero. //KTH AU.//

8.

"You're kidding right?" I asked once more, just to be sure that my ears heard it correct. That whatever the hell my dad was saying was true.

All I heard was a sigh, and I knew he was not joking. This wasn't something to joke about, my mom really wanted divorce. But why? She loved dad a lot, wanting to split was something nobody would ever believe.

"I-I'm sorry Audrey, I wasn't in my right mind a-and I never meant to cheat on your mother-" he started but I no longer had any strength in me to listen to whatever clarifications he had right now, it didn't even matter anymore. What mattered right now was, will he sign the papers or not.

"What will you do now?" I asked, cutting him off and the other end went silent for a while. Speeding up my heart beat.

"I honestly don't know." After everything, after 20 years of being together, he wasn't sure if he wanted to leave mom or not. Why? Did he never love her? Then what about those times where I used to admire their affection and wanted to have someone who would love me the same way my dad loved my mom.

Was it all a lie? How can he leave her just like that? Just because of some bitch that came in his life he would leave someone who he loves or loved.

Why are people so messed up?

"I can't believe this- I have to go- I'm sorry I just can't-" I stuttered, completely confused and furious at how things were going. And before I could hear his reply I ended the call.

All I wanted right now was to talk some sense into mom but I couldn't even speak to her because she's still in the hospital and is too weak. She refused to eat or drink anything and the doctor had to inject her again, all she said was that she wanted to leave dad. And I know it must have hurt dad a lot because it did to me.

But then again, maybe dad did want this too. I still don't know the truth and I'm still confused and shocked with whatever that is happening now.

I no longer felt like going to school and decided to skip it today, I was awake the whole night, talking to dad as he told me everything about mom and her condition. What he didn't tell me was the reason why she acted this way and I wasn't too eager to find out too since I already knew.

He sounded tired and sad but I still couldn't trust anybody, nor dad neither mom.

I know I should be on my mother's side but I can't help but feel like maybe it's all just a misunderstanding. Dad was the only person who I was the most closest to and hearing all of this, I can't believe that it really is the same dad who cheated on mom. The same dad who used to read me stories on weekends, who used to take me out to eat and to just wander around while having fun, the same dad who cared for me and mom a lot.

Tears welled up in my eyes but I held them back, I will not cry, I will not cry until I know the whole story, until I know who is right and who isn't. Until I find out the result or everything that is happening right now.

Maybe I just have too much hope inside my heart? I know I shouldn't because it hurts the most when you hope. But I can't help it.

I spent my whole day inside my room, sulking because I just didn't wanted to move at all, It felt like all the energy inside me was drained out and I wasn't able to do anything but to think over the current situation.

Liana called several times to ask me why I'm acting so strange lately and why I didn't attend school today too and I had to tell her, I had no other choice and she was the only one who could understand me because she has been through this.

In the next moment I heard a knock on my door, it was Liana who looked worriedly at me, I'm glad she didn't tell anybody else about this because I'm still not sure what is about to come and I don't want to go around telling people whatever has been happening in my life.

I told her everything from my mom's last call to what my dad told me over the call. While she sat down, rubbing my back trying her best to calm me down although she knew it wasn't working but I'm just glad I have her with me when I need someone the most.

"Times like these come in everyone's life, even if your parents do get divorced you still have us, me and Jungkook with you. And you'll be independent after a year, you don't have to worry. But let's just focus on your parents right now, and try our best to not split them up." Liana explained, and I can't help but cry even more, I'm acting like a baby right now but the only people I had before Liana or Jungkook were my parents and I adored them, now watching them fall apart like this just breaks me.

I gave her a nod as I harshly wiped away my tears, I hated tears because they always used to escape when I was in my weak state. They remind me of how weak I am and I don't want to be reminded of that.

"It's okay. Everything going to be fine." Liana assured me as she hugged me and lightly patted my back. But it wasn't helping at all. I nodded, trying my best to not cry now, I usually tried my best to not cry in front of anyone and I was failing so badly right now.

"I know, I hope so." I whispered, making Liana nod at my statement.
"Forget about it, how's Jungkook?" I asked, I haven't talked or met him since whatever happened between us that night and It still felt really awkward although I know It wasn't a big deal but for me, It really was. I can't really blame myself though, I did have a tiny crush on him and I guess feeling this way was normal for any hormonal teenager.

"He was worried about you I don't know why though. He's okay, still a bit weak but he'll come to school tomorrow." Liana muttered while my eyes widened and my heart sped up. He was worried, why was he worried? Maybe he felt sorry, he didn't really feel the same way about me so maybe he thought that I didn't too. Gosh this is too much, I need to stop thinking about it.

"I'll go now, it's already too late." Liana looked at the time on her mobile and got up to leave, I had no strength in me to stop her, all I wanted was to sleep right now because of all the crying I was a wreck right now.

As soon as she left, not before making me promise to not miss school tomorrow, I fell down on my bed and closed my eyes and sleep engulfed me.
