The Meeting

*Trigger Warning*

Isabella's P.O.V

I can't do this anymore. ANYMORE!.

I walked inside the house. "Where you've been!? Why weren't you at the school?". My step mom Brenda shouts. "Oh so you do care?" I replied sarcastically as I removed my shoes. "This is not funny! Isabella Thomas" She yells. "You made a mistake and your-" I cut her off. "My dad made a mistake 5 years ago, by marrying you" I said as I looked her dead in the eye.

She goes quite and clenches her jaw. Before she hits me I stormed upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut.

I am 17 so I can't really move out of this house. In three days I'll be 18 and out of this house. Oh what about my dad?. He is barely home. Because of his work. The last time we had dinner together was on my step mom's birthday last week. I've got step sister Kyla. She is 18 and total shit head to me.

I have one best friend. Eva. We know each other since middle school. She knows about my problems and offered me to live with her. Her parents doesn't have any problem with either as they've got a pretty big house. But I wasn't still 18 yet.

"Isabella" I herd my dad yell from me. I huffed and walked half the stairs. "What?" I asked. "Why did you talk to her like that??" He said raising his voice. "Why weren't you at the school? Where were you?" He questions angrily. I walked the remaining stairs stood infront of him. I leaned over to Brenda who was standing behind my dad.

"This what you wanted, right? Us fighting." I said sarcastically. "That's Enough!" Dad yells. I flinched. The door opens and Kyla enters the house. She looks to her mother and then to me and raises her eyebrows. "Let's just have dinner and we'll discuss this later" Dad says as he walked to his room to change.

We all settle down on the dinning table. Brenda served the dinner and we started to eat. "How was the college today?" Dad asks Becky. "It was good we are working on new project for our Political club" She says. "That's pretty good, your always been the brightest student" Dad replies smiling as Brenda and Dad chuckled.

Of course she has to brag. "Learn from her, Isabella" Dad says. I looked at becky giving me a smirk. "I scored the highest in the class in the last exam, I won the 200m race, I won the debate competition... But wasn't acknowledge for it" I said the last slowly looking at dad half smiling.

Everyone one on the table went quite. "You never told me that's why-". He started. "I didn't told you?" I shook my head in disbelief. "The day I scored the highest in the class you got extra work at your workplace so you couldn't come home. But the very next day it was Becky's birthday and you took a day off and took her and Brenda to shopping. I couldn't got to tell you" I started.

"The day I won the race I was about to tell you, but Brenda wanted to go on her friends daughter's wedding so you went with her. I even stayed till the time you return but you said you were tired and will listen to me later... You never did." I said fake smiled. "You are mostly not us on dinner so and when you are you only ask about how Becky's day was and acknowledge her achievements." I replied. "I don't think so I need to say more dad, do I?" I retorted rasing my eyebrows with a fake smile. I breathed out.

I pushed the chair back. "Thanks for the food, Brenda" I said I didn't even eat more than two bite as I put on my sandals and walked out in the dark ignoring there calls.

I walked and walked. I was pretty far from my house. I stopped nearby a bridge. Tears starts to stream down my face. I shouted to get my anger out. I sobbed uncontrollably. I looked down from the bridge.
