I was confused. I had several questions popping up in my mind as I walked towards the office. Why do I have to go to the office? Is Something wrong? What happened?! My heart started beating rapidly.

"Are you ready?" My father questioned.

"F-for what?" I stuttered. I was afraid; mentally waiting for something to happen. Anything to happen.

He guided me to the car, "You're grandfather has passed away."

What?....... He's gone? No, that c-can't be right no.... I opened the door and sat in the back seat. The drive was silent. My mother bursted into tears. I did nothing; I wasn't moving. I was dead inside. Feel something! Nothing. Not even a single tear. It's like my emotions have been drained out of me.

I stared at his grave, just a tombstone. He didn't even have a proper grave? It was my father. Of course, it had to be him. He despised with every part of his soul.

I went home, anger bubbling inside me. Later that day, I found out that he wanted me to live in his house. Am I ready? When will I move? I didn't know what to do.

I walked towards my father, trying to find the confidence to talk to him.

"Hello.... Dad. When will.... I be moving to the house?" I trying to find that confidence.

"Your mother and I talked about it. We decided  that you will move tomorrow."

He was working on a few pages of something I couldn't quite read.

"Isn't it a bit early?" I questioned.

I tried to calm down. The lack of respect he was giving me was just because he wanted me to be a CEO of some stupid ass toy company?!?

I raised my voice, "Do you even care about grandfather's death?"

Clearly not trying to hide the venom in my voice.

He looked up at me, "Yes, why would you ask a question like that?"

"Doesn't sound like it," I snapped.

"Where is this attitude coming from, young lady?" his eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

"You must be extremely happy that he's six feet under!"

I started to tremble; letting my emotions show but, I knew this was more than just a position. He was being cold to me for my whole life.

He slapped me across the face, "Watch your tone!"

I stared wide eyed at him.

"You did not know my father! You did not know what he was capable of!" his eyes burned with anger.

"Honey, is everything alright?"

My mother came in wondering what the hell was happening.

Tears shimmered in my eyes, "Yeah, I'm just not hungry."

I ran up the stairs to my room.

She screamed, "Honey! Wait!"

I didn't hear her since l slammed the door. My mother followed me up the stairs.

"Honey, are you okay? I asked your father but you know how he is..." her voice trailed off.

I heard her from the other side of the door.

"I'm fine just a little tired.."

I was trying not to cry right then and there.

She sighed, "Ok.." 

She left knowing that I wasn't telling the truth. I looked into the mirror. I hope this doesn't leave a bruise...what am I thinking? I called Abby. Luckily, she was with Ganeet.

"Hey, Cece. Is everything okay?" Abby questioned.

I whispered, "I don't know anymore.."

Ganeet said trying to sound sincere, "Hey.... tell us what happened. Maybe, you'll feel better."

I told them everything including what had happened between my father and I.

Abby apologized, "I'm so sorry...."

I sighed, "It's okay, I just needed to get that off my chest. I'm glad that we're just talking."

"We will be here til' the end of the world, right Ganeet?"

She exclaimed, "Yeah!"

"They want me to move to the house with two other people so.... will you guys be my roommates?" I asked nervously.

Abby and Ganeet squealed, "YES! That would be awesome!!!"

"Great, grab your things. It's going to be a long day tomorrow!" I smiled.

I hung up the phone, took a shower and collapsed on my bed; not wanting to think about tomorrow.
