Just let her say what she wants to and then I can leave. Good GOD, is she still going? This was supposed to be a great day. My residency is complete I officially have my white coat, and I've been hired as the hospital's newest spinal surgeon. Why? Why did I come back to the house with her? Oh, that's right. I did it for dad.
"....I don't think so! You have a lot of explaining to do, young lady! That man was damn near the best thing to happen to you and you are telling me that you've ended things with him? You're 25 already, Violetta Ravenwood! When am I going to have grandbabies? Dear merciful Lord, where did your daddy and I go wrong with you? I've held my silence long enough! You are going to call poor Tyler and beg for his for--"
"NO! I'm not!" she yelled at her mother unable to hold back any more. "Held you silence, mom? Really? All I've heard from you since I turned 18 is Violetta when are you going to meet a nice boy. Violetta when are you finally going to settle down? Violetta why can't you be more like your sisters? NO I'm talking now! When are you finally going to stop being soo selfish chasing your silly little dreams of being a doctor and give me more grandbabies?!?!? Well, I'm sorry I'm not your precious Nicoletta who got pregnant at 18 and had to get married quick cause you didn't want any little bastards ruining the family name! Or Jennette who ran off with the first guy
with a big enough inheritance and spend the rest of my life pregnant and drunk while hubby darling goes around the world fucking his newest secretary! I LOVE what I do and if you can't support that then Fuck you too! I'm done. God, it's no wonder dad drunk himself to death the moment I left home if he was trapped here with y-"SLAP!!
Her head swung to the left at the force her mother put behind her slap. "How DARE you. You ungrateful little bitch! Get out! Get out getoutgetoutgetout!" Violetta grabbed her purse and coat from the closet and walked to the door, fed up and done with this family. She had promised her father she would try and she had. There was only so much one person could take. She stopped only when she heard her name.
"Violetta, don't you dare come back until you're made things right with Tyler and have a heartfelt apology ready for me regarding your behavior today." Deep breaths Vi, deep breaths. She turned back around.
"I guess, I won't be seeing you until it's finally time to put your ass in a coffin then. After all, we both know Nikki and Jen won't claim you for anything but the money." She said sweetly "Oh, and by the way mom, that trust, Ravenwood education, dad left isn't a charity. It's my inheritance and as I just finished my residency it's been released. You can't touch it." Violetta quickly walked out closing the door behind her only to hear her mother's scream of frustration and glass shatter off the door behind her.
She quickly made her way into her car and began driving to meet the only two people who had supported her since her father's death. It was Friday night and for them that meant pizza night at Angeline's downtown. Cora and Dean are probably just getting ready so I'll probably get there the same time at them.
~25 minutes later~
I'm stuck in traffic bumper to bumper traffic only 2 exits out. My cell goes off, Cora, probably checking in. "Hey, Cor."
"I see you!!!" she giggles over the phone. HUH?
"Creep much?"
"Bitch shut up and swipe your head left" I let out a laugh before looking over and lo and behold there they are.
Cora could be described with the 3 B's; Blonde, Beautiful, and Brainy.
She worked down at the state zoo as their clinic's veterinarian. Her brother Dean, well Dean was handsome I'd give him that but his head was always up in the clouds. Traveling is his passion so he became a wildlife photographer and now he was paid for doing what he loved. Dean was our overprotective annoying big brother. Our dads had been best friends since college so we were raised together like siblings. They had been my support these last 7 years since losing my dad but Cor especially. We were sisters in all but blood. Though if we counted the blood exchange back when we were 10 and believed we'd be getting our letters to Hogwarts, we were that too. It had been so easy back then. We had done damn near everything together. Hell, we practically came into the world together considering we were born within 8 minutes of each other though separate days.
"So ready for pizza, pizza, pizza little sisters?" Dean was an idiot, but a cute idiot. He really reminded me of a puppy most days. Cordy rolled her eyes and I gave a shrug in response. It was then I noticed it. My eyes widened. It was coming just a little too fast, too close.
"Vi?" Cordy asked.
My eyes turned to her in fear just as Dean looked where I had only a second ago. "Holy SHI---"
