Louder Than Words

Chapter 26

Selena's P.O.V

I slammed the front door shut, letting my parents know that I was home. My tears had dried into my cheeks as my sadness had been replaced with anger. Every ounce of that angry was directed at my mother.

I heard her voice in the kitchen as she let out a sigh.

"Here we go." She mumbled.

I growled as I made my way into the kitchen, pushing the door open. My mom and dad were sitting in the kitchen at the table, my dad drinking a bottle of Budweiser while my mother had wedding magazines placed in front of her.

They both looked at me as I stood in the doorway. My mom gave me a blank look before letting a smile spread across her lips as she stood up.

"Selena, hun." She greeted with a bitchy smile, as she approached me with a wedding magazine in her hand, handing it to me, "I've found the perfect hairstyle for you for your big day."

Out of anger, I flung the magazine across the room, not caring where it landed.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I hissed at her.

"What are you talking about?" She chuckled, looking at me innocently.

"Why?" I growled, "Why do you always have to ruin the best things in my life?! Do you not want me to be happy?! Is that the reason why you continue take away everything and everyone that I care about?!"

"Don't be silly, Selena." She laughed, shaking her head, "Of course I want you to be happy, you are my daughter after all. You'll be happy with Chase-"

"Shut the fuck up about Chase!" I yelled at her, "When are you going to understand that Chase and his money and his god awful parents don't mean a thing to me?! They never will! But you're too dense to see any of that, aren't you?!"

"Selena, don't raise your voice at me." My mother scowled, "Now you listen here, Chase has the money to support both of you for the rest of your lives and as your family grows he'll still have the money to support your children. That Justin boy that you seem to be so fond about is nothing but a fling, you'll get over him once you realize what great potential Chase has... Justin on the other hand, well, he's a lost cause if you ask me."

I couldn't stand listening to her. I couldn't stand hearing her talk about Justin like that and I hated the fact that she actually, truly thought that I would have kids with Chase.

I raised my hand and slapped her across the face.

"Selena!" My dad choked on his beer in disbelief.

I smiled in satisfaction as I saw that red imprint that was left on her cheek and the stinging sensation that was in my hand, letting me know that I hurt her. I turned my head towards my dad whose eyes were wide and whose mouth was hanging open in complete shock.

"I don't know who's worse." I said, glancing back and forth between my parents.

My mom held her cheek with her hands, staring at me in shock and anger. My eyes fell on her as I spoke.

"You, for putting me and your entire family through all of this shit. Yes, I know that it's you making the calls around here, dad is too scared to argue with you anymore." I took my eyes off of her and allowed them to fall onto my dad, "Or you, for actually taking all of this crap, listening to her rant about weddings and who she thinks is the right man for me when truthfully, she barely knows who she's talking about or listening to her as she thinks about her grandchildren which I can assure you will definitely not belong to Chase!"

"Selena Gomez!" My mom screeched.

I turned to her and glared at her, shaking my head in disgust.

"I ashamed to know that you're the one who gave birth to me." I scoffed, "You're not my mother. You don't deserve that title... Look at you, you think you're powerful when really you're nothing but a pathetic cow who's tearing her family apart and the worst thing is, is that you don't even care, you're too focused of pushing me into giving my life away to a boy I barely know."

I glanced at my dad and chuckled dryly, "As for you, well, all you need to do is get your balls back. Stand up for yourself for once in your life, she can't control you because even though you act like you're on her side, I know just by looking at you now that you know that this is what she deserves. You know that what you're both doing to me is wrong but you're too gutless to speak up."

The entire kitchen fell into silence as they both stared at me, both of them knowing that I was speaking the truth. I shook my head one last time before walking out of the kitchen, not regretting anything.

The only thing I'm sorry for is not hitting that bitch sooner.
