I sighed, adjusting my shirt to fit perfectly over my skirt. "So, your not just going to talk about what happened last night?", Sophie asked inviting herself inside.

"There is nothing to talk about", I said brushing my hair.

"Oh, really. Let's see the amount of topics to discuss. The fact, you and William went off campus, and don't come back for 2 days, going god knows what.", She said.

"We went to Edinburgh. That's all", I said.
"What's so special in Edinburgh?", She asked crossing her arms.

"It was just a place to unravel, and get away from Oakham", I said.
"Okay. Oh. The fact that your step-mother shows up instead of your father, and you treat her like shit", she said.

I turned to her. Correcting her.
"I didn't treat her like shit. I told her to leave", I said.
"Yeah. And you weren't subtle about it either", she said.

Last Night

I was having to many emotions to feel anything right now. So many questions. Thoughts. Of course. It was her. I wasn't even surprised about it either.

I quickly pulled her to the side, away from the attention.

"What are you doing here, Bethany?", I asked.
"Your father sent me to make sure you were okay", she said.

I slightly smiled.
Rolling my eyes. "Of course, he did", I said.

"Don't be like that. You know your father is very busy man", she said.

Let's see what I forgot to tell you about my not so perfect life.

"Obviously, too busy to give a shit about me", I said.
"You know he loves you", she said.

"Loves me? He didn't even bother to show up at my mother's funeral, he sent me away to another country because he loves me?", I asked.

"It's not like that", she said.
"Bethany, you should - she cut me off, "you can call me, mom you know that right", she said.

I could've snapped.
"You, Bethany. You are not my mother, and you will never be her. You are just the crack faced whore who broke up my family. You're nothing to me", I said as harshly as I could.

That's exactly what I forgot to mention, before my mother even got sick, my father cheated on her, with Bethany, and he left my mother. In the process, he also left me. And after she died, he was the only family guardian I had. He was basically forced into taking care of me.

Now, I began to realize why he sent me off in the first place, not because he had too, but because he wanted too.

She didn't say anything.
"Leave. Now. And tell my father next time I'm missing or something, tell him not to bother", I said walking away.

Flashback over

"You were being a bitch, more so like Anne. She's must've did something horrible", she said.
"You have no idea", I said.
