Song: Look what you made me do- Taylor Swift.

"Dad called."

Uh oh..

"And what did he say?" I ask, knowing that whatever it was was the cause of mom's fit. It always was anyway.

"He's getting re-married." Kanisha says.

Holy mother of all apes!!!

"What?" I say, shock emitting from my voice.

"He's getting married again Aqua! How many times should we spell it out for you!" My mom's outburst startled me.

"Mom, I'm sorry I just--" she cut me off.

"Sorry?" She chuckles. "I think that's what you're good at saying now. God Aqua! Why can't you just shut up and do something sensible just once in your life? As if that's not torture enough, your dad drops this freaking bomb on me! Sometimes I wish.." She stops there.

Tears come flowing into my eyes as I respond. "What? Wish what?"

"I wish I didn't have you."

Those six words were enough to kill me. I saw her anger turn into guilt and hurt. Her eyes widened. "A.. Aqua, I didnt mean-I'm sor--"  It was my turn to cut her off.

"No mom, I get it. I mean what have I ever done right huh? It's not like I did every freaking thing you told me to. Not like I devoted my life to making you and only you proud." I started off , cold seeping through my words.

"No Aqua I--"

"You said what you wanted to say mom. I get it. I'm not the daughter you wanted. I don't blame you though. I would've been better, would've worked harder. I'm sorry I'm such a big burden." And with that I ran out of the house and got into Blaire and sped out without a care in the world.

"I wish I didn't have you."

Her words burnt my inner soul.

I didn't even know where I was going, I just accelerated the speed of my car the more I thought about everything that happened. I was crying so hard that my eyes shut for a quick second.

And that's when everything went haywire.

Some bike came from nowhere and I hit the breaks as fast as I could, almost hitting the bike. It spun and hit the lamp post close to the road. The biker was thrown a few centimeters away from the bike and my eyes widened in panic.

did I just murder a guy?

Oh no no no no no! This will be horrible on my résumé! What will Mr Griffin say when he hears that I killed a biker because of my wreckless driving!

He definitely won't allow you to continue your studies at Harvard that's for sure.

Shut up inner me!

I'm only being honest you dimwit!
