Treys POV:
"Yeah, I miss you so much! The last two weeks have been hell!" I exclaim into the phone,
"I know trey but on the bright side there's only like two weeks till you move back" Luke explains, I smile remembering my birthdays in two weeks.
"I know, I'm counting down the days!" I smile,
"Good cause so am I!" He laughs. We talked for a couple hours before my mum calls me down for dinner, i'm not even very hungry but she worries if i don't eat cause shes overprotective.
"What's for dinner?" i ask entering the kitchen,
"Steak and potatoes with gravy.." she mumbles quietly, i nod and sigh sitting at the dinner table.
We've been here two weeks, i haven't made any friends and my dad is always away at his job. I mark every day off as it goes by because as soon as i'm officially eighteen i am out of here. My mum sets dinner on the table and sits down, she doesn't even spark up a conversation with me, she just starts eating. After ten minutes of silence and forks scraping against plates i speak.
"So mum, why couldn't dad make it back for dinner?" i ask, she looks up at me as she cuts a piece of her steak.
"He had to work late, what else is new though!" she mumbles, somethings different, she's quieter...i don't know if it's because of the new place or because dads away all the time but it's weird.
"Why have you been so quiet lately? back home you were always talking to me, always sparking up conversations at dinner!" i explain,
"I don't know sweetheart.." she whispers, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure i'll be fine soon." she explains, i nod my head and then clear the table. I make my way to my room when my mums phone goes off, i walk back downstairs to see if she's talking to dad but she's in the shower. i pick up her phone and see the text message from dad, i click on it and a whole conversation about some woman named sam lights up the screen. who's sam? why are they talking about her?.......Is my dad cheating on my mum?
----------------------------------------
The next day at dinner everyone is silent, no one said anything till the end when I couldn't stand it anymore,
"Is dad cheating!?" I exclaim,
"It's none of your business Treya!" My father growls,
"Yes it is because if you are I want you to leave the house, I don't want you hurting mom anymore!" I exclaim,
"Treya!" My mother exclaims,
"No mum, he's hurting us, he's breaking this family apart and if he's going to do that then I want him gone!" I exclaim,
"Your mother and I are working things out treya! Mind your own business!" He hisses,
"Fuck sakes dad! This is my business! You're tearing this family apart! I thought you loved us! I thought we were the one family that nothing could break apart!!" I say raising my voice.
We all stand silently for a moment, only our steady breaths fill the room, "You should watch your language young lady!" My father grumbles,
"That's what you have to say to me? After all that you're gonna start to act like a father!? You're no father, you're just a prick!" I exclaim, he raises his hand and slaps me hard across the face, I bring my hand up and cover my cheek as it pulses in pain,
"Alex!" My mother yells,
"I hate you! You are NOT my father!" I yell at him before rushing up to my room.
My parents fought till midnight and then my dad left, slamming the door behind him and honestly I never want him to come back, he can go live with Sam cause he's not welcome here!
---------------------
(Two weeks later)
"Yeah Luke I get it but it's hard to juggle my two jobs and having to facetime you every day!" I explain,
"so your jobs are more important?" He asks,
"thats not what I said Luke!" I explain,
"Just think, we'll be together in a week! My flight was only pushed back a week." I explain,
"Yeah... I should go! Band practice in twenty!" He mumbles,
"We just started talking!" I exclaim,
"I can't help that you were late!" He explains,
"Whatever Luke! Go then, ill talk to you in a week I guess!" I exclaim,
"this isn't working trey.. " he says quietly,
"What are you talking about?" I exclaim,
"We can't do this... This long distance is driving a wedge between us and I can't handle it!" He explains,
"A week Luke!" I exclaim,
"I just can't.. " he whispers.. My eyes tear up but I blink the tears away,
"Fine, we're done! Bye Luke!" I exclaim,
"Trey wait-" I hang up on him and shove my laptop under my bed.
I can't believe he did this! I put my face in my pillow and scream, it doesn't muffle it very good and my mum comes running in, "Treya dear, what's wrong?" She asks worriedly, I pull from my pillow and look at her, my cheeks are stained with tears and I'm biting my lip,
"Me and luke b... Broke up mum.." I cry, she gasps and envelopes me in her arms, I cry into her shoulder for hours before I fall asleep, why would he do this!?
(A week later)
"Treya wake up dear!" My mother whispers, I open my eyes and squint at her, "There's the birthday girl!" She smiles lightly,
"hey mum!" I say quietly, I haven't left my room much in the last week, I quit my jobs and have hidden In here since Luke broke up with me.
"Get up, take a shower and come downstairs please!" She says standing to leave,
"noo..." I whine ,
"Yes treya!" She exclaims and walks out my room leaving the light on.
I sigh and get up, I grab skinny jeans and a baggy hoodie and head into my bathroom, I turn on the shower, undress and climb in. I do the usual routine and then turn off the water and climb out.
I meet my mum downstairs and sit beside her at the table,
"dear, I have some news that you probably don't wanna hear.." She explains,
"What is it mum?" I Ask tiredly,
"We're moving back to Sydney.." She explains slowly,
"What!? NO!! No no no, why?" I exclaim,
"because your father bought this house and he said if I don't move out in a month he's taking me to court! I've already bought the tickets for this evening.. Pls go pack your stuff, we leave in three hours!" She explains,
"You found a house down home?" I ask,
"yes dear" she says quietly,
"No place is gonna live up to the old place..." I whisper,
"Dear, that is the place! They hadn't sold it yet so I swiped it up!" She smiles,
"really?" I exclaim,
"yes dear, now go pack pls!" She says quietly, I nod and do as I'm told... This is just great!
