Being back at home is weird

Being back at home is weird. Most people would be glad to be home from college, but I would rather go back. I sit in my car in the driveway of my childhood home shaking from nervousness. I don't want to argue with my dad and if I know him well enough he's going to talk shit.

Let's go Lissa. You can do this.

I get out retrieving my bags from the back and go up to the door. I try to unlock it, but my key won't work.

"Are you kidding me," I mumble and ring the doorbell. A minute later my dad opens the door and stands there like I'm some stranger.

"Lissa."

"You changed the locks?"

"Didn't think you would be coming back."

I roll my eyes. "Well here I am. Can I come in?"

He moves aside letting me in and I step into the old house. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"It's thanksgiving break dad. Is that a problem?"

"Nope just don't expect me to cook," he says then walks off to the kitchen.

I didn't expect anything more from him. My shoulder starts to ache reminding me that I'm still holding all my bags, so I go to my room and put my stuff down. I won't bother unpacking so I'll be able to leave faster in a couple of days.

I get my wallet and keys so I can go see my friends who both flew in yesterday. I don't say goodbye to my dad before I go because he's nowhere to be found.

While I'm driving to Bianca's house I get another text from Bil, who has been blowing my phone up since I left the bar.

Billie: Yo stop ignoring me. I'm sorry and I want to make this better. Tell me what do.

I read the message and delete it. There's no way I can forgive her right now. I can't even get Luca to talk to me. Billie betrayed my trust and lied for her own benefit. I don't even know if I respect her anymore.

I turn my phone off completely deciding to enjoy my time with my friends uninterrupted.

"So she lied about the conversation with your boyfriend and actually told him she's in love with you?" Jasmine says trying to understand.

"Yes. I asked her about it twice and she lied both times. Then she had the nerve to say he only took my virginity that night because he wanted to spite her and make sure she didn't get to me before him."

"Damn that's cold. Do you believe that?" Bianca asks.

"I don't know. I don't want to but he was kinda competitive about it," I sigh.

"How did you feel about Billie before all of this?" Jasmine asks.

"I don't know. We did kiss at the cabin."
