the heroic princess

going back home

   Next thing I knew I was being suffocated with arms. I can tell by the voices that it was my mom and brother. My mom was crying and my brother was just silently squeezing the life out of me. After a few minutes they finally let go and I was able to catch my breath.
  " Sorry Li, I just missed you so much and I am so happy to see that you are alright." My brother Adrian said as soon as he let go. He chuckled nervously. He wasn't really known for talking, but his long messy black hair, his freckled face and his turquoise blue eyes that could drive any girl insane. He was skinny but not to much. His face is usually plain and emotionless but sometimes he shows a warm smile. 
     " It's fine" I reassured, I was about to say how much I missed him but my mom cut me off.
   "Lia I am so happy you are feeling better, I thought that I might have lost my babygirl. I don't know what I would have done. Don't ever don't ever do anything like that again." My mom said everything so fast I barely understood what she was saying. I just smiled and nodded. I missed them so much.
    My mom kept on talking and crying, like how an anime mom would. She just kept going until someone cleared his throat.
    " I don't mean to interrupt you, Miss Williams, but I really don't think outside the hospital is a good place for a reunion. " Elijah stated sounding polite. I turned towards where he was and moved closer.
     "Since when did you become polite and sophisticated? Hmm?" I asked while poking his chest.
     "He's has been like that since I first met him."
     " Are you guys dating now, Li?" My brother asked after mom's comment.
       I was about to say something but Elijah beet me to it, " Nah, well not yet at least"
      I playfully punched him in the arm and told him to keep imagining.
    " Well I approve you saved my little princess so you have a right to." My mom added in. I cut of Elijah before he had time to say anything.
   " Can we stop talking about this and just go home, where are you guys staying anyway?" I said trying to change the topic and almost succeeding.
   "Me and Adrian are staying at a hotel, but first we are going to this young man's house then dropping you of at your father's house. You know I am surprised that your father let a boy take care of you since he doesn't even like you near boys. " I was wondering that myself. My father does not have sense. But my mom sounds like she is planning something. " Well anyway let's get going I want to meet my future son-in-law's parents"
    My mom seemed really happy while saying that. I just gave up.
    Four hours later my mom was finally driving me to my father's house. That was...... I don't even have the words to express how that went my mom kept going on and on about how me and Elijah are going to start dating and how when we grow up get married. I have no clue what is wrong with her. Even when driving now she still won't stop talking about it, luckily we just arrived at my father's house. My mom found a parking spot right in front. As Adrian and my mom helped me get to the house I heard the door open.
    " Oh, Lia I'm so happy you're back home and out of the hospital, thank you Amanda for bringing her home, and Adrian you've gotten so big since the last time I saw you." It was my father. I don't really get along with him and he knows it but he acts  innocent when we are around other people. My mom hates him and he knows it but he acts oblivious to this too even though it is evident.
    "Hi Jhon," my mom says  lacking enthusiasm, then turns to me and kindly says "goodnight Lia, go to sleep early since you have school tomorrow. I'll pick you and Elijah up from school and us four will go do something, I already told his mom."
     She kisses me on the forehead and Adrian gives me a hug and whispers, since he doesn't like talking around my father, "Goodnight baby sis" he thinks he is all that since he's five years older than me. What ever I won't say anything this time. I walk inside and was immediately met with my father yelling at me but I didn't turn around to face him. Then I felt a rough hand on my shoulder turning me around to face him.
    " Face me when I am speaking to you little brat. " I could smell his breath, he's been drinking. Then he slapped me. I didn't expect him to slap me. I knew this house like the back of my hand so as fast as I could I went to my room. I jumped on my bed and surprisingly found my phone. I asked Siri how much charged it was, and was surprised to hear that it was fully charged, then I told Siri to put on my sad playlists, she obliged and in a matter of seconds the music was playing. I cried myself to sleep while slightly singing along. Every tear tag was forced to stay in made my burned eyes hurt.
