Believe in yourself.
Don't ever settle for less.
Lucia's POV
I lay in my comfy white bed with my red blanket wrapped around me. I feel an overwhelming sensation engulfing me. It's one of those days.
Knock knock
"Hey Lucia" Hope walks in my room.
When did she get in town?
"What are you doing here" I sit up in my bed.
"My flight for Texas is leaving in an hour, but I just wanted to stop by to see you real quick, sister" she throws me a fake smile.
My face drops.
"Of course I would know this information, MY parents told me. I just thought I'd warn you" she takes a step closer to me.
"They're MY parents, and they always will be. You think they love you?" She begins to laugh.
"They only went to see you yesterday because your rich mommy and daddy paid them" she is now face to face with me.
"Don't forget, they did give you up after all " she smiles and exits my room.
The only thing I got from all of this damn conversation is that my fuckin parents paid Aunt May and Uncle Frank to come see me. I'm beyond piss. I'm hurt to the fuckin max right now.
How can they do this to me?
Tears trickle down my face. I quickly wipe them away. I wipe the blanket off of me and stand up on my feet.
I move swiftly across the room and put on a shirt and change into leggings. I aggressively walk down the stairs into the living room to be greeted by my parents.
"You paid them!?" I shout.
"What are you talking about honey" my father says surprised by my outburst.
"Aunt May and Uncle Frank. You paid them to come see me when I asked them to!?" I feel myself getting frustrated.
"Honey, I don't know wha-" my dad begins until I cut him off.
"Cut the bullshit dad! Hope told me" I inhale a deep breathe to prevent me from crying from anger.
His face immediately drops.
"Honey I'm sorry. I knew how much this would mean to you, but they wouldn't meet with you unless we paid them" he looks at me sympathetically.
"Why would you do this to me? You should have just let them break my heart from the start! I met with them and fell in love with them but now you have me fucked up" I shout and let the tears stream.
I hear Summer and Rick run down the stairs probably due to all of my yelling.
"I hate you! I fuckin hate both of you for doing this to me" I point my finger at my father and mother who is sitting besides him.
