The Story Of My Fidelity || Wattys2017

"Are you even going to write something?"

Kelly yelled at me as I sat there in front of my computer screen. I've been staring at it for half an hour now and I know I must look like a lifeless body to her.

"I am running out of ideas."  I said while getting out of my bed and walking towards Kelly. She was assigned as my roommate freshman year and we went from just exchanging 'Hi' to being best friends forever. Kelly was always the party type and I was always the nerdy Head-In-the-book type but now, after 4 years of living together, we can't even tell who was the bad influence.

"Don't tell me, Nova Markey running out of ideas for her story?"

She was almost done with folding her sheets and turned towards me with her ever so big for her face smile. She really had a good jawline which was a compliment to her beautiful smile. I always thought she was a girlfriend material, but the sad part is that none of her relationship lasts.

"I think I need a change. I want to try writing something new, no more fanfics."

"Don't forget  you are going to live in a whole different town after a few hours-" she said while putting the last sheet in her backpack. "LA awaits! I can't believe we are leaving this place, college is over! Bye Lakewood!" She stood there with her hands in the air like she just won one of her toughest football matches. 

I was still just standing in front of her like an idiot. "So are you going to stay with your parents?"

"Of course not! I am an independent woman plus I don't like to hear them fight every once in a while. When I went there last summer, they fought everyday! even though it didn't last for long and they would be cooking dinner together the other moment but I still don't want to see them like that"

"Be grateful, at least it's better than divorced parents."

"Nova! everyone loves you, your mother was so stupid to leave a child like you."

"That's ok, even I know the truth. Can we leave now?"

I think I make it awkward for her to talk after every conversation about my parents, she always gives me a shrug and does what I say. She thinks I would start crying if she didn't change the subject, It was true a few years ago but I'm over it now, Mom never even called me or my father or my brother, which made me hate her more.

But thinking about her was the last thing I wanted to do when I'm about to do something good. I'm about explore my life after college. Most probably I'll be looking for a job. But I need to think about good things right now, rainbows....butterflies.. Unicorns? 

"Whatever" I grab my bags and walk out of the door behind Kelly, Locking this room for the last time..

"I've missed you my baby girl!" My dad exclaimed as he came jumping out of our house.

"Dad, I was here last summer, remember?"

"It was still a long time back." He hugged me tightly, just the kind of hug I was missing.

"You're early" Said my brother. Standing tall, edgy and....tan? Why is he tan?

"Thanks for the welcome Levi." Dad broke the hug and turned towards Levi to give him an annoyed look, my dad loves to do that.

"Chill Dad! I was just messing with my sister." He took one of the bags from the taxi.

"I finished my college, so you don't call me a baby."

"Whatever baby sis." Levi has always been a typical brother who can't live without annoying his sister. But I know how much he loves me, after mom left he has always taken care of me and never left me alone.
