Sleepwalk | Richie Tozier

Part 23

Olivia and Richie went home after they are done with fixing his face lol. Olivia rode the bike whilst Richie on the back because he cant see the freaking road without his glasses. She dropped him off at his house then went straight to her house.

She leaned her bike against the house's wall. She entered the house, her feet were almost at a face pace, trying to run away from her parents who were watching the tv in the living room. Too bad she didn't make it.

"Olivia, what is that on your face?" Her dad asked as he saw the bruises

"Oh um.. i-i-i fell off the bike" She stuttered, nervous

"Dont lie to me" He said, getting up from the couch

"Im not"

"Did you get into a fight?" Her dad asked, his voice was slightly raise which made her mom heard. Olivia went silent, looking down on the floor

"Olivia, answer me" Her dad said in a low tone

"I didn't! I was just- i was just protecting my friend.." She blurted out

"Who was it?"

"Does it matter?" Olivia asked, frowning her eyebrows. Her dad just looked at her dead in the eyes "Fine! I was protecting Richie from Victor!"

"Richie? Hey he is a boy!"

"So what?"

"He can defend himself! You dont have to be his superhero or something. You're a girl! Now look at yourself! Bruises everywhere! From now on, you cant meet or be with him anymore. He is a bad influence. Since you're with him, you've been going out without us knowing and get into a fight! You're grounded!" He raised his voice. She was shocked and tears dripping on her cheeks

"I hate you!" She said before running upstairs to her room

She slammed the door and locked it. She punched the door several times then threw stuff on her table. Tears dripping heavily on her skin. She dropped onto the floor, wrapping her arms around her knees and cried.

She fell asleep after crying for hours. It's now dinner time. She woke up by the sound of someone knocking on the door. She looked at the door

"Who is it?" She said in a cracked voice

"It's mom, honey. Come downstairs for dinner" Her mom said. She stayed silent.

"Please open the door"

Olivia ignored her and went to her bed, pulling the cover to her body. Her mom opened the door with a key. She peeked into the room before step inside. Olivia pulled the cover more until she was fully underneath it. Her mom sat on the bed.

"Hey" Her mom slowly pulled the cover off of her but she pulled it back

"Why you didn't tell me about this Richie boy?" She asked in a soft voice

"Cause i knew you would get mad"

"No i dont"

"Then why on the other day you were so angry at me when i came back from his house" Olivia finally get out of the cover and sit up, looking at her mom

"Oh that was- i was really stress that day. Your father were all angry with me. Then you showed up out of nowhere so i couldn't control myself and be angry at you. Im sorry" Her mom pouted

Olivia looked at her mom before leaning in and hug her. She buried her head on her chest and her mom wrapped her hands around her.

"Im sorry too for being a bad daughter" water slipped from Olivia's eyes onto her cheeks

"You're not a bad daughter. You are an awesome daughter i've ever had" Her mom said and she slightly chuckled
