BROKEN

IS MUM REALLY DEAD??

"Anna,let's tell your dad about that woman......I mean your mother" Paula said. I decided to ignore her and move on . I saw her giggle from behind. I take a look at the time and realized we were late.

"Oh my god!........it's almost 6pm.dad is gonna kill me if he finds out I skipped the dance classes" I said panicking
"What do we do now??" They asked
"I know he's not gonna listen to me since we've already had a fight" I explained.
Paula and Anne looks at me helplessly. Quickly, we hoped into a cap and few minutes we were home

I'm now panting for what will happen .I know dad has always been grumpy and over protective towards me. I go everywhere with Adrian ever since I was a kid and dad believes am still a kid.I know others would love to be where I am today but it stings for me.


I didn't realise I was still standing outside until Anne held my hand in hers. "Leave this to us ok?" " no.......you guys are not going to tell dad about anything....... at least not now." I pleaded . they both nodded. I took a deep breathe and went ahead to open the door and we all walked in.

"Oh! Anna,where the hell have you been? Are you alright ....I hope nothing happened to you or some sort .your dad and I were scared to death......."Alyna runs to me,gave me a hug and touching me here and there.

Paula and Anne just stood watching. It was then that I saw dad descend from the stairs. He looks furious. Ready to scold me.
"Oriana, where have you been and how did you get out of school unnoticed?" Dad raved.
I stood there dump.couldn't say a word. Paula,who couldn't bear it no more blurted the whole thing out.
For the first time,dad looked pale instantly. He was shocked

"So your parents are aware you both will be this late?" Dad asks them calmly this time."umm...... yes" they mumbled. I'm just standing there, still not talking. I find my voice, I start to speak but dad glowers at me so I stop.

"Oriana, we'll have a serious talk later" dad says and goes to drop Paula and Annabelle.

I turn around to see Cloe look at me with an ogle eyes as if I was gone for years.

"Anna,go wash down and come join us for supper" Alyna said.

I slouch to my room. Dad's always telling me not to slouch though but I'm so exhausted from all this. I mean from having a great time with my friends, my mum and waiting for what is to come.
