Ivy's POV

You're not important to matter to me.

It kept ringing in my head as I drove home. The tears threatened to fall but I did everything I could to stop them from betraying me. My throat felt clogged.

I tried swallowing back the big lump in my throat but it never went away. I drove through the gates and the car screeched to a halt in front of the entrance.

I picked my bag and got out. Slamming the door and walk-running up the stairs, barging through the doors.

"Ivy?" Erin called, worried, as I made my way towards the stairs

"What's the matter?" I heard mum ask Erin as I made my way to my room.

I barged into my room and shut the door with my back against it. I was hyperventilating.

Why does this always happen to me.

I thought as I sank down on the floor, a tear slipped and I wiped it as fast as it fell.

Why do I feel this way?

I wasn't suppose to feel anything...for him or anything he said.

Why does this always happen to me?

Different thoughts ran through my mind, I didn't notice when the tears started pouring.

I was sobbing with my hand wrapped around my knees and my head buried in them.

Knock! Knock!

"Ivy?" I heard mum call

I was brought back to the present and I lifted my head trying to reduce the gentle sobs.

"Ivy!?" Mum called again

"What's wrong honey?" I heard dad ask mum behind the door

"I don't know. Erin saw her run to her room crying" mum told dad

"Munchkin" dad called as he knocked on the door

I swallowed hard trying to get my voice.

"Are you alright in there?" He asked

"I'm fine dad" I finally said trying to sound as normal as possible

"Can you open up the door please?" He asked

I wiped my tear stained face and got up from the floor. I composed myself and opened the door

"Hey dad" I said, smiling at him

He smiled back, but it looked pained

"Hi mum" I said to her

"What's wrong?" Dad asked As we all went into my room

"Nothing" I said sitting on the edge of my bed "Just had a bad day"

"This doesn't have anything to do with a certain Dave Connor?" He asked

I snapped my face back to him
"No. Why would you think that?" I said a little too quickly

Dad and mum shared a look and they both looked back at me

"What did he do?" Mum asked

"Mum it's fine" I said "I'm an adult. I can handle it"

"You may be an adult but you'll always be our little munchkin" dad said

I smiled at him, sighing
"It doesn't matter what he said" I said "He doesn't matter"

But he did matter.
