Stuck

Trust

Hazel turned away. She couldn't look at her father.

She saw him, standing with a lady and they seemed extremely close. She was mad, she knew both of her parents and their own romantic relationships with other people, but she had always tried to ignore it but at this moment she couldn't. She was about to go and ask him why he did this and who this woman was, when the women called one of the girls from the new group that had been glaring at her.

The girl stood up, seeming very happy as she approached the lady and Hazel's dad. Hazel started to walk away, when she saw the girl hug her dad. She had no feelings at this moment, and she wasn't surprised. She knew that that girl was her half sister, but she wasn't bothered to go and shout at her dad for doing this.

Hazel changed back to her clothes, and now she had to take a bath against her will. She walked out of the stadium, and kept her head down. She had no emotions at the moment,and she headed back home, but this time walking slowly.

When she reached her house it was 7, and it was exceptionally cold for a June evening. Hazel walked around her house, entering through the back door when someone grabbed her, their hands over her mouth. She protested trying her best to break through the strong grip of these hands.

"Stop doing that, don't you see there are people inside you're house."

Hazel calmed down when she heard Noah's voice. She turned around and he let go. Hazel looked at him and he tried his best not to worry her. She turned her attention inside the house when Noah stopped her.

"It's your dad. Your mom's here too.'

Hazel understood what was happening and she realized that it's time. She realized that this is the day, she'll loose her parents and it was confirmed when she heard her father and his new wife fighting with her mom.

Hazel held back the tears but Noah couldn't stand seeing her in this condition. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

Hazel started to hit Noah, telling him to let go of her, but he didn't. She started to cry as the punches started to loose their strength and she completely lost it. She hugged Noah back, holding onto him like her life depended on it. He kept her close, never wanting to let go. He had know her situation and seen her deal with this pain, but at this moment he just couldn't stand back and let her be.

Hazel's arms wrapped around his neck, and pulled him closer. They stood there for a moment, when they heard a loud thud and footsteps fade away.

Noah slowly let go of her, but she stood there.

"You should go inside now."

There was no reply. Hazel was looking down, all the few moments that she and her parents spent together, fading away forever.

Noah held her hand and led her inside. She didn't resist, and they both stood in the empty hall, seeing her father drive away with his new family, and her mom standing with another man.

Hazel looked away and left the house. Noah followed her, but he was stopped by Hazel's mom.

"Hazel, go inside. We need to talk."

"I'm not going inside. I already know what's it about."

"Stop talking to me like that, and get back the damn house right now."
She glared at Hazel, caring more about what the man will think.

"You don't control me and you cannot. I'll be back whenever I want to, and I'm sorry to disturb whatever this is." Hazel said, eyeing the man standing next to her with pure disinterest and disgust.

"How dare you-"

Hazel ignored her mom and turned away. She started to walk away from her, her mom shouting and grabbing the attention of everyone in the neighborhood.

Hazel turned around the corner and started to cry. She didn't hold back and she couldn't. She needed to cry at that moment. She slid down against the wall, her eyes red and her throat sore. Noah came back to her, and she looked up to him and started to cry more. She was heartbroken, and felt it. She stood up, with all the strength she had.

"How could they do this to me?! I have never done anything bad in my life! I don't deserve this!"

"I know you don't. It's not your fault. It never was."

Hazel ignored Noah and walked away from him.

She went and hid behind the children's playground amongst the bushes and she cried as much as she could.

After a while everything went black.
