Attaching Hurts

you're naive / meet Lara

 Sabrina's P.O.V

 -" Why in such a rush, come with  me, let's join your family!!"

-" Wha... What??"

  Well, that's the exact opposite of a good idea! So, naturally, I won't accept his invitation.

  -" Sorry, I don't feel like having lunch with my dad, his girlfriend, his daughter's girlfriend and the boyfriend of his dauther's girlfriend", I hate the meaning of the last part of my sentence, I feel pinches in my heart. But anyways, I have to find a way to get out of this situation and the quicker the better.

 -" you should come, you really should!", in the tone of his voice, I feel like it's an advice.

 -" Why does it sound like an advice?", he giggled, 

 - "you are more naive than I thought".

 -" What do you mean?"

 -" Umm, if you stand up, get away of this bush and come with us, I'll tell you"

  -" Why don't you tell me now?"

  -" Why would I?". Pff, he'll never change with this, I guess I have to get used to it.

  -" Alright, I'm coming if you promise to tell me".

   -" yeah, why don't you simply say that you want to spend time with your family, it ain't something to be ashamed about, I really don't understand you and it ain't like my word has a value to you, I'm a bad boy, remember? Bad boys jerks aren't trusted, so don't pretend like you trust me or something".

   I think I blessed him last time when I told him that he was a play boy and that I don't trust him. I just said it like that... I mean it ain't like I lied or something but, even that night, I felt like I blessed him. What can I tell him? I know that "sorry" won't be enough but that's the least I can do.

  While I was lost in my reveries, he started to walk back to amber. I stoo up quickely and walk toward him. I touched his shoulder and he turned to face me. 

  -" So.. you're coming after all?"

  -" Yes, I told you that I'd come and I'm not ashamed by wanting to pass time with my family and don't say that they're my family, only my dad is family, these two others are strangers and I don't like them, I feel like Dad is passing a lot of times with'em" I talking very fast with a lot of hands moves, that means that I'm stressed  "and he left me alone, she is calling him dad and I..." I think I'm gonna cry.. tears are forming under my eyelids. I hate to cry and essepially in front of anyone. I have to keep them, to prevent them from falling on my cheeks.

   These days, I am always alone home, he's never here, he spends a lot of time with Amber's mother and her daughter, she even started to call him dad! I can't call that woman "mom" and I feel marginalized, I'm scared my dad would forget me for these two girls. I succeeded in controlling my tears. I took a deep breath and continued to talk to him.

  -" Look, I'm sorry", he smiled.

  -" It's ok, I unterstand, you're scared you're dad replaced you"

  -" What? no! not about that... I'm sorry about what I told you last time, that wasn't nice and I.. I tust you Alex" I smiled to him.

  -" Hum".

  -" So.. Since my dad is dating the mother of you're girlfriend, let's be friends?", I streached out my hand, he giggled.

  -" Ok Sabrina, we're friends now", he shook it.

  -" Now, let's join the others",

 -" Yes, let's go".

   I'm walking with him toward the bench where dad and that woman are sitting, once I arrived near them I said hello.

  -" Sabrina, I didn't know you were atround, that's a good thing, I think it's the right time for you to meet Lara", he said looking at me then at that woman. Her name's Lara, how am I supposed to call her? I won't call her at all, that's better.

  - "hello, nice to meet you, I'm Sabrina" I smiled politely.

  -" I know you, Amber told me about you, about how you bully her at school"

  Wait WHAT?!! She is the one who "bullies" me. I looked at her with wide open eyes, I didn't say a word, I was surprised, how could Amber lie that way. If someone looks at her, she seems so nice and sweet, I think that why she is trusted in her lie.

   My father looked at me with a severe look,

  -" Sabrina, is it true?"

  What? of course not!

  -" No dad, I didn't bully her!" How can he believe such a thing?!!

  -" You're such a lier young girl" said her mother, she was giving me a scornful look, " you splashed her with a cup of beer at her friend's party"

 -" ohh that's because she-" I was cut by my dad.

 -" Is it true Sabrina ?" he said,

  -" Yes, but it's because she-" he cut me again.

  -" That's incceptable, I didn't raise you this way-" I cut him this time.

 -" You didn't but mom did! she taught me to defend myself when someone bullies me, Amber and her friend splashed me first with a pail of beer".

  -" You're lying !" said Lara.

  -" No, I'm not! your daughter is the one who's lying".

  -" How dare you little plague", she dared to tell me such a thing in front of my dad and he's not telling anything, so, he won't defend me! Alright, I'll do io myself.

    -"  "plague" is one of the many many nicknames you're daughter has at school" I snapped, turned around and made my way back home.

   I'm pretty sure I'm in troubles with my dad but I acctually don't care, she disrespected me in front of him and he didn't say a word or move and inch to defend me.

  I was walking with tears falling, what he did deeply blessed me. My life is a real cendrella story, firtst the necklace, the masked ball and now the mean step-mother and her awful daughter. What am I supposed to do now? shall I run away? ortry to destroy my father's relationship with Lara? I can' do that, my dad deserves hapiness even if I'm mad at him but he deserves it.

  A hand layed on my shoulder, I turned around to see Alex in front of me. He seemed surprised, I know that it's because I'm crying. He sudenlly hugged me tight and wishpered "sorry" in my left ear.
