"What happened? You look like you've been on a rollercoaster.",
Hell, even worse than a rollercoaster. Maybe a death ride of emotions.
"Nothing?", I said, tilting my head to the side to see if my dad was still in the living room "I'm fine, thanks for asking by the way", My mum went in for a hug but I ignored it. Stepping in my dad confronted me, of course with his famous 'Take me serious or I'll beat your ass'-speech.
"Zoey Anne. Where have you been those past two weeks? We couldn't call you nor find you! We had to call your teacher, aren't you ashamed?", I scoffed, rolling my eyes and making my way upstairs.
I heard my dad yell something at me but honestly I didn't care what they think right now.
I grabbed everything I needed, chargers, my laptop, clothes, makeup, straighteners, toothbrush, hairbrush, socks etc. My room was really empty when I took a last look. It'd be full of posters normally but I took them off so that they can give this room my sister even though she doesn't deserve it all. Whatever.
As I stepped downstairs I heard someone arguing in the livingroom. Familiar voice but I couldn't make it out. Although it sounded alot like emma..
EMMA?!
I ran downstairs, throwing my stuff in the hallway as fast as I could and sprinted in the living room, seeing Emma sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed and an annoyed look on her face.
My dad was red from all the rage he had in him "If you'd be her best friend you'd make sure that she'll come home by now!", Emma rolled her eyes and looked at me, mouthing 'help'
"Mr. Greene, I really know you love your daughter", she coughed sarcastically (but my dad thankfully didn't get it)"But she's old enough to decide where she will stay. I'm sorry but it's none of my business, I'm just helping her and being a friend",
I smiled at the end and saw Lucy standing in the doorframe, eating a banana and smirking like a fucking bitch.
"I bet she isn't even with emma", I furrowed my brows, not knowing how I could handle that rage I had in me.
There was this emotional breakdown whenever she mentioned Robert, I didn't even know why I was being that crazy when someone mentioned him. I really hope that I'm not in love with him, that would really be the end.
"What is your problem?", I almost yelled at this question "why can't you keep your nose out of my business?", She smirked even more. "Oh? So I'm right, huh? It's that...attractive Mr. Downey you can't keep your hands off?",
I couldn't control my rage anymore and slapped as hard as I could, not thinking about who saw it and who didn't.
Although I regret it after the first minutes where it went silent. Well, it lasted for 2 minutes or less, as soon as she spoke.
"Teachers slut", she whispered, again smirking and going upstairs. Thanks god. As I turned around my Dad slapped me right across the cheek, leaving a burning sensation. I held my cheek as I grabbed Emmas hand, my luggage and went out of the door, mentally thanking god I'm out of this mess.
My mum followed me to Roberts car, waving her hands around in a nervous way.
"Please Zoey", I turned around "Please, come back home", my emotions overwhelmed me and I broke down in tears. I didn't care in the moment who saw me sitting on the street, crying like a little girl nor did I care if Robert saw me. All I needed was a comforting hug, someone who'd say 'Everything will be okay, Zoey. Just wait. It'll turn out good for you. '
I heard the car door open and steps coming nearer and nearer. Roberts hands slung around my shoulders, trying to help me up but I really couldn't, something was holding me back down.
"Mr. Downey?", I heard my mother ask, confusion clear in her voice.
Robert mumbled 'shit' and looked up, biting his lip. I knew exactly that he didn't want to have this moment and I knew he shouldn't see this but what could I do now? It was only a matter of time until Lucy and my dad came out, of course, disrespectful as always.
"I told you mum and dad, I told you", I looked up to see dad almost dying from rage, clenching his jaw like there's no tomorrow. God, please save Robert.
Emma stepped in, confronting lucy "Shut your mouth already. He dropped her to help her carry her stuff to my house, you know I can't drive at the moment", she looked at my dad "you should know your own daughter. Come on get up, zo", she held her hand out and opened the back door from the car, letting me in. We watched the scenario from the window as I tried to calm myself, telling myself everything will be okay.
Emma broke the silence "You should've asked me for help", I sniffed and wiped a tear away "You're right but he was being really nice and I couldn't say no", She smiled a bit and stroked my back "You know how your sister reacts. You know how girls react when they're in love", I furrowed my brows "Lucy's in love?", Emma gaped her mouth and tilted her head to the side, probably wondering why I didn't know and she did.
I was wondering too.
"Uhm...yeah..she...look at her. How she looks at mr. Downey", I looked out the window again, only to see Lucy's sparkling eyes when she looked at robert, even though he was in the middle of an argument. I felt strange pain in my stomach, as if someone was poking at it with needles. My knees got weak and I started to get really strange feelings. Dear god, no.
Please, no. no.
Don't let that be the truth.
Robert opened his door, pulling me out of my thoughts. His jaw was clenched and his face was red, well, not that red, but still visable.
"Your parents are dickheads", he said, tightening his grip. I nodded "you don't say", emma said.
Everything was strange at the moment and I couldn't help to feel this really bad feeling.
That one where you just want to throw up and never leave your bed again.
jealousy.
