"DEREK WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?!"
George Venturi screamed at the top of his lungs discovering the chaos in the living room as he opened the front door coming home from work. Nora, behind George was in shock as she discovered how messy the living room was. Derek stood there in fear knowing that his dad would ground the both of them for not just days, but months. That's what happened when they both snuck out in the past & busted George's new car.
"Dad I can honestly explain. This is not what it looks like. It's all Casey's fault this happened." George's eyes observed the scene and then Nora gasped in shock as she noticed the new flat screen T.V. they bought just yesterday on the floor busted with all the glass pieces everywhere on the carpet. Derek didn't notice but he had a cut that was on his left cheek from the glass shard & blood was running down his face.
"George, omg your new flat screen t.v we just bought yesterday is broken..." Nora said in disappointment as she walked over to the broken item. George shocked, quickly going over to check if what Nora said was true & unfortunately it was. Devastated from the discovery, he bends down touching the broken object. Anger quickly rushes over George as he glances over Derek who was the prime suspect of destroying his new T.V.
"Derek what the hell happened? You have so much explaining to do! This is my new flat screen T.V. and it's now it's broken. Do you know how much it was?!"
"Dad I can explain okay, please stop raising your voice at me. It wasn't my fault. It was Casey too. She-" Suddenly Nora interrupted Derek because she wondered where Casey went & wanted some explaining from her.
"Where is Casey? I'm going to have a talk with her." Nora went upstairs to her room as Derek was getting lectured by George. As she knocked on Casey's door, there was no answer. Nora suddenly heard soft sobs coming from inside. It made her worried as she quickly opened the door to discover her daughter sobbing on her bed.
"Casey. What happened downstairs? Why are you crying?" She went over to touch her shoulder as she sat on the bed to calm down Casey from crying. Although she should be angry at her daughter for breaking the TV, she hated seeing her daughters hurt or even cry tears because she loved them too much.
"Mom.. I can't live here anymore." Casey sadly spoke while she wiped her own tears, getting up to speak to her mother. She felt this pain too many times before & today was the right time that she told Nora her true feelings. She couldn't hide it any longer. Even though she didn't want to tear her mothers happiness apart, she couldn't bear the pain of living with someone who constantly makes her feel like shit.
"What?...Why? Casey honey, don't say that..."
"Mom, I know you are happy with George & you love him but it hurts me everyday knowing that I have to live with someone who constantly puts me down & picks on me when I did nothing wrong. I never did anything to deserve this treatment from Derek. Ever since the day me & Lizzie moved in to live here with you guys, Derek has ruthlessly picked on me non-stop. Today was the last straw, I can't stand this anymore mom." Casey spoke with tears coming out her eyes explaining her feelings toward Derek. She despised him & how he disrespected her over again. She just wished her mom understood how it felt to be in her shoes.
"Honey, I know you & Derek have your differences but you guys have to learn how to settle them too. You can't just constantly keep fighting with each other, you have to learn how to get along if we are going to be a family." Nora couldn't understand why it was so hard for the two to just get along. She knew Derek would pick on Casey but sometimes she wished that Casey would stop fighting back with him also.
"A family? Seriously mom? It's easier for you to say Mom! Yeah I fucking get it, you love George & I understand that completely but imagine having to leave everything you love behind. Start a new life that was worse then your past life. Imagine having to live with someone who bullies & disrespects you for no reason everyday! I can't do it anymore mom! I just can't even when I tried to get along with Derek, he still didn't care. Today Derek purposely switched my channel when he knew it was my turn to watch the T.V. & it's because of him the flat screen is broken now! I can't live here if that monster is too. I just wish I had my old life back. Everything was perfect until we lived here!" Casey spoke everything from her heart because she has enough of it. She was tired of being here when there was nobody that cared about how she felt & she expected her mother to be the one who understood her the most, but it seemed like she didn't at all.
There was a moment of silence as Nora realized how much pain it must be for Casey. She knew this day would come when Casey & Derek would push each other's buttons to the point where Casey couldn't deal with it any longer. Today was that day. As Casey spoke, Nora finally realized how much Casey suffered for her happiness. Maybe it was time to do the same back for her daughter.
"Casey... I understand.. I'm sorry that I made you suffer this much for me. I just wanted us to all be a happy family together but it doesn't seem like you & Derek will be getting along anytime soon.... I'm just sorry you suffered this much for me honey.." She went over to hug her sobbing daughter, & Casey buried her face in her mother's shirt while tears were falling over again. She just missed her old home & her old life when she was happier knowing she belonged there. She just wanted to move away from the Venturi household forever.
"I've been thinking.." Nora spoke as she rubbed her daughters back to comfort her from her crying. "Maybe it's best if you move in with your father. If you're really unhappy here Casey, I think this is the only way for you to find true happiness again & begin a new start that's fresh. I realized that you & Lizzie sacrificed too much for me. Maybe it'll be the best for you too.." Casey wiping her tear and looked at her mother. She hadn't thought of that idea but it wasn't such a bad one. She knew her father would be busy in New York because he constantly travels & is never home but at least she would be living with someone who she wouldn't fight with everyday. She didn't have anything to lose because there was nothing in London for her anyways.
"But mom.. what about Lizzie? What about you? Lizzie needs an older sister to guide her & I can't trust her around the Venturi's. I also will miss you too.."
"But honey, you miss your father too don't you? I will miss you but I don't want to make you suffer anymore. You've sacrificed so much for me. You were willing to leave behind your life in Toronto for me to be happy even if that meant you weren't. I want to do something that makes you happy for once. I love you & maybe this is the best. I know your father would be willing to let you stay with him... he's talked to me about it before before we divorced..." Nora wipes Casey's tear as Casey was thinking hard about what her mother had told her. Maybe it was best to leave & stay with her dad. She did miss him & wanted to spend more time too. Casey hugs her mother tightly realizing that her mother did care about her feelings, she felt sorry for assuming that Nora was attacking her earlier.
"Mom, I think you're right. I think.. I would like to move in with dad.. I'll miss you. We have to talk to Lizzie first to see if she would want to come with me though. I think it's best if we go together.. I just don't trust her being here alone with no older sister to help her... but thank you mom. Thank you for understanding me. I think this is the best.. I can't live with Derek any longer.. I can't do this anymore.."
"I understand honey. I love you. I'll call your dad first thing in the morning. I'll also talk to Lizzie to see if she would want to go with you too okay? I love you Casey..." Nora reassured her that she would take care of everything so Casey didn't have to worry about it. They exchanged hugs for a long time because Casey knew she would miss her mother very much. Her mom was her backbone, the support that always kept Casey going even when she didn't believe in herself. Nothing beats a mother's love. She knew that when she left, there would be no coming back. Yes she would miss Emily, her best friend & Paul, her guidance counselor but there was nothing left for her in London anymore. Goodbye Venturi's. Hello New York.
