Returning home after sneaking out for the second time, my parents weren't happy. I met them on the sofa, hands interlinked resting on their knees as they had waited for me to come home.
"Diana, I think it's time we had a serious conversation." My father spoke sternly and the tone in his voice gave me a slight fright. I sat opposite them and they looked me in the eyes like an animal that has disobeyed. "you told us you were just going to meet the boys at the diner as usual."
"I did, I just decided to go to grayson's football game afterwards."
"'Til-" He lifted his wrist up and flicked it to reveal his expensive watch. "half past eleven?"
"I promise it won't happen again." I smiled sheepishly.
"Too right it won't happen again!" He found his hands slamming the table and I flinched in fright, my mother held his arm to calm him down as I gulped.
"What your father is trying to say is that we only do this because we care about you, and all i have been towards you is lenient these past couple weeks and you have completely used it against me. I have been working long hours at the hospital and you've taken advantage of that."
"No, it's not like that. I've just finally started to come out of my shell again after Christopher, you know? I'm dating someone new and I'm hanging out with my friends, i'm not the cowardly girl who'd sit alone in her room and stare at the paint cracking off her walls. Im not girl who was scared of water or the girl who became so dull she was just bones. I'm starting to get out and feel the world again. I'm appreciating life and I'm smiling and for the first time i'm happy again." I sighed and my mother smiled at me, my father too.
"I apologise for shouting at you. I'm going back to new york tomorrow, you're welcome to come as always." He told me as though I'd change my mind, like Id love to drop everything and leave to new york.
"Thanks for the offer but I'm good here as always. I've got to go and get ready for bed." I smiled and patted my knees as i stood up and started to make my way towards the stairs.
"Oh, Diana?" My mother called and stood up, meeting me at the bottom of the staircase.
"It's ok, the other day about my vase and stuff. I forgive you." She smiled sweetly and i thought of how much I appreciated her and how much she loved me. "But i also need to let you know that it's great to come out of your shell finally and be confident, but just be a bit more responsible and tell us where you're going, Okay?" She gave me a small smile and i returned it.
