Money [ C.T.H ]

[ 5 ] Carefree

I wake up to the sound of the heavy raindrops falling onto the roof. I look to the side of my bed to catch a sight of a bouquet of sweet smelling, white roses. I pick out the note stuck to it and read;

To Victoria,
I hope you like the flowers (I stole them from my neighbours garden)! I didn't know there was such thing as white roses so I thought they were special or somethin. Xx

From the great lord, Calum

The way he names himself makes me grin like crazy.

I march down the stairs and make myself a cup of hot tea. I turn the heater on and lay in front of it as I wrap myself in a blanket.

A loud knock from the door makes me jump. I spring up, keeping the blanket around me. I open the door and

"Hi sweetie" A strawberry blonde woman shakes. Water dripping down her face.

"Mom?" My stomach drops.

A tall man walks up behind her and stares me down.

"Dad?" I whisper.

"Long time no see, Victoria." He gulps.

"What are you doing here?" I clench my jaw. Suddenly all my happiness fades away

"It's a long story." My mom sighs

"Aren't you going to invite us in?" My dad laughs

"Why would I do that?" No emotion reaches my face.

"Because we're your parents sweetie." He takes one step inside my house before I block his path.

"This is my house, I can choose who comes in or not." I speak up. He takes a step back out of the house.

"Please darling, we just want to speak to you" My mother sobs

"Can you two give me a second?" I ask, slowly closing the door.

I run upstairs to Isabella's room and pound on the door. I storm into her room and sit on her bed.

"What do you want?" She wakes up

"Mom and dad are here." I shake

"Really?" Her eyes widen.

"Yes and I have no idea what to do." I get up and walk back and forth across the room

"Are they inside?" Isabella sits up

"No, they're outside on the porch" I answer

"Well invite them in! It must my cold out there in the rain" She springs up and rushes down the stairs to the door.

"Isabella!" I yell whilst trying to catch up with her. "Don't you dare invite them in!" I add on.

I see her open the door and her eyes brighten with excitement.

"Hey sweetheart!" I hear my mothers voice coming from outside.

"Please, come in!" Isabella gives way

"No!" I sprint down the stairs and slam the door before anyone can step foot in this house.
