Inescapable Love

chapter 2

One week later...
I twist my key into the lock and enter my house with six huge shopping bags in both my hands. I put them down on the nearby and see my parents waiting for me and the dining table. I signal them saying I'll be back in two minutes. I dial Amy's number and pace into my room.

"What the fuck did you buy?" I yell as she picked up.

"I was sad!" she whines.

"So you bought the entire store? Bitch, you have to get over this break up!"

"Easy for you to say. Dylan and you are still in good terms and then you met this hot guy kissed him and are now friends with him. What was his name again?"

"Harry Styles. He has a girlfriend, it's not going to happen. But, seriously you have to get over your break up and if I find you drinking in a pub again I am not going to pay your bill and leave you there to do the dishes."

"You are the worst best friend ever!" she whines.

"Just listen to Taylor Swift's songs, you'll feel better. I'll tell Zack to come over there with chocolate ice cream!" Taylor Swift is our favourite pop star, she is famous for her break up songs. Her songs helped me during my break up.

"You are my true love!" She cooes on the other end.

"I love you too. Pick up your stuff tomorrow! Bye!" I smile and hang up the phone.

"Come on, sweetie" my mom says, "We are waiting!"

"Oh okay!" I pull out a chair and sit.
"So..." my dad starts as my mom serves me food, "I have got news."

"Really? What?" I say as I eat food.

"Ummhmm," my mom clears her throat, "We have decided something."

"What?"

"We are collaborating with the Styles' business." My dad answers.

"That's great!" I say, "Good for you."

"Uh, and it is good for you too!" my mom chirps.

"Uh, how's that?" I look at hr speculatively. Do they want me to join their business as Harry does? I am already prepared to say a firm no.

"So, a week ago, Robin suggested that we can do a sort of arrangement where our businesses can collaborate and you and Harry can get together!" dad looks at my hesitantly.

"Come together, how?" I do not like this conversation.

"You know how you see merger happening and breaking all the time, right?" my mom starts, "Well, Robin said if this merger is supported by your marriage with Harry then it would build a good foundation."

Marriage? Did I hear her correctly? No! Of course not! She has got to be kidding. I open my mouth to say something but my mother beats me to it.

"At first I found it ridiculous as well, but then after meeting Harry, I really liked him. And honey, the market is very tough right now this merger is important."

"Wait a second...Did you already say yes?" I ask my dad. He looks at me apologetically.

"Oh I don't believe you!" I get up and leave the table and take my plate along with me. I run into my room. Agrhhh!! I am so frustrated. I throw the pillows on the floor and bury my head into the bed. Oh God! I don't believe my parents!! They are the worst people in the world! They are trading me!! They are freaking trading me!!

I felt so suffocated. I have to leave... I need to go. I take my wallet and mobile and leave without even looking at my parents. I hate them so much. I find a lone park and sit on one of its benches. I take my phone out of my pocket and search through my contacts. Should I call Amy? No, she's already so upset with this break up, I probably shouldn't burden her.
