Luca's Challenge

Chapter 5. Unexpected

Upon arrival of my house on Saturday morning I am welcomed to screaming, yelling and fighting. I have tried many times to stop them form fighting but in the end I just get abused and I'm so sick of it.

Walking into the room which has our grand piano in it, it actually use to be my grandmothers but is mine now. I sit down and think of a song to play, while I am thinking I can hear their fights.

"I wish you children were never born!" Heather yells.

"Well you're the fucken idiot who gave birth to us." My brother yells back.

"The day you guys die is the day I will finally be happy." she says. These fights happen everyday, I'm use to it so it doesn't hurt as much as it use to when she would say stuff like that. After fights like this one when I was younger I would detach myself from the world, I would stop talking to friends and I was generally depressed all the time.

It was hard for me to open up to people, I didn't want to tell anyone my sob story so I closed myself off to everyone. I was very quiet until I met my friends in high school, they showed me that I can trust some people and not everyone I give a chance will break me.

Their muffled voices and screams start to fade away in the lovely notes of the piano, I focus solely on the notes and my voice that's all.

"Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl"

Giving the piano all I got I thump my fingers against the piano and sing louder and higher.

"Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh, oh, oh, oh say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something" I say those last worst in barely a whisper as I think of many bad memories, memories I wish didn't happen but did. And now I see my mothers true colours.

Feeling emotionally drained, the next 2 days go as quickly as they came until it becomes Monday.

I didn't want to face Luca because what happened between us was nothing, we merely just slept on the same bed. Nothing happened.

Or am a just saying nothing happened? Why would I have to take a day off school because 'nothing happened'? I have never really felt this way around a guy before and it's an uneasy feeling, I don't need or want a guy in my life. The only boy I need is Shadow my true family and my dad and brother.

I actually got the day off because I may or may not have drained Heathers car battery and said my bike tyre popped so she was unable to drive me to school. She's really dumb so she couldn't start the car up anyway, I know how to fix it but fuck her.
