Erran and Arie

Erran and Arie ch 10

I woke up with a sinking feeling in my stomach. Something was wrong. I racked my brain, trying to find put what it was that made me feel upset. After a few seconds of trying, it all came rushing back to me.

Erran.

He was the thing that was wrong. I pushed him out of my head, not wanting to think of him today. I looked at the clock and swore. I was going to be late for school if I didn't get moving. Why didn't mom wake me? I shook my head and began my daily routine. when it came time for me to put on my clothes, I realized something awful. I didnt have any clean clothes. I was supposed to do the laundry last week but my laziness got the best of me. I groaned and started to contemplate going to school in nothing but my bra when my eyes fell upon a white shirt. I walked towards it and was immediately surrounded by his smell. I quickly backed away and walked to mom's room. I might as well borrow something of hers. Instead of knocking, I walked straight into her room and wished I didn't. She was topless on some random guy's lap making out. Mr. random saw me and froze, causing her to look behind him. Her eyes widened in shock. I turned and shut the door, ignoring the constant calling of my name. She promised she wouldn't do this again. She promised. Anger filled me as I stormed back into my room. I slammed the door and took deep breaths. I ignored the tears blurring my vision and continued my search for a top. In the midst of my looking, my mom barged in my room.

"Arie-"

"We had a deal and you broke it. How could you do this to yourself again?" After my dad died, my mom went spiralling down into a deep depression. She slept with anyone who has a penis. Her slutty ways caused us to have to move move multiple times. At first, I thought it would stop but once I saw it

was permanent, I begged her to. I told her that if she didn't stop, I would go and move in with my aunt in ohio. She didn't want to lose another person so she quickly agreed.

"What? You can't expect me to be lonley for the rest of my life!" My anger flared up even more. I couldn't believe the shit coming out of her mouth.

"No! We made a deal that you can date only if you are serious about it. Serious enough for me to meet him. Jesus, did that not mean anything to you? Just because dad is dead does not mean you get a free ticket to fuck who you want! I miss him too! You're disgusting. I need to leave. I can't be in here with you right now." Her eyes held no emotion. They were cold and empty. I turned away and grabbed Errans shirt and my backpack.

"Oh I'm the slut? Tell me then, who's shirt is that huh?" I turned and looked her in the eyes.

"My mate's." With that I slipped on some flip flops and ran down the stairs. When I reached outside, I was suprised to see Brandon standing there. I pushed pass him and headed in the direction of school. Unfortunately, he grabbed my arm.

"Hey, I just want to talk." I ripped my arm away from him.

"Well I don't. If you dare think of following me, I would tear your balls off. Don't you dare test me today. I am not in the mood." He must have sensed my seriousness because he backed away from me slowly. I smiled in satisfaction and continued my walk. I tried my best to push my anger behind me but I couldn't. I was just too pissed.

Before I knew it I was at school. even though I knew that he could smell and quickly find me, I tried my best to avoid Erran at all costs. I walked to the back of the school and sat down in my favorite spot. Laying on my back, I took in my surroundings. The hot sun felt good on my face. Butterflies of what seemed like every color flew by. A gentle breeze whispered its secrets to the grass and caressed my face. For a little while, all the trouble I've had for the last six years of my life disappeared. I felt somewhat happier. Even though I face the world on my own, I felt as if I could beat all the challenges it threw at me. I felt that once I best the world, I would become a legend and a beacon of hope for the kids going through something like what I am. I felt calm and powerful.
