The night we met

Chapter 44

"Why can't I go outside? Why don't you let me? I feel trapped in here!."

"Ava, you can't go outside you don't understand the danger you will put yourself on," my dad said calmly as he sat on the chair of his office.

I had begged them a lot of times. I have screamed, yelled, cried and went to my knees just for them to let me go outside at least a whole day. I was bored of seeing the same place over and over again. The only time I felt I was another person with a different life was when I read my books. It was my escape as singing was. But books weren't enough. I needed to feel it, be there by myself and see if it was really like the books had describe it. But when will that happen?

"I don't want to be here anymore. I don't have any friends either. I'm freaking tired of walking over the same hallways, seeing the same people, being at the same place every freaking day! Why don't you get that? I don't have any freedom in here!," I yelled.

"I'm sorry to tell you this but you won't convince me either way. I promise you that this will be over one day..."

"When will that day come? Huh? I'm fifteen years old! Do I need to have thirty to see the real world? To finally go to a beach, talk to strangers, go to college, go to a restaurant, to the theater, a pool, what else? I'm wasting my time in here! You and mom are just....just damn crazy and..." I said but he cut me off.

"You won't speak to me that way," he said standing up, as his nostrils flared. He was now angry but I was even more than he was.

"Or what? Because if you are going to throw me out of the house because of my bad manners then do it. I don't give a shit!."

Okay yes I know I really disrespected my father but when you're angry you don't really think clearly what you are going to say next. Anger just takes control of the situation.

He came forward and grabbed me by the hand pulling through the hallways. I cried as he pulled me strongly by my wrist dragging me into my room.

He got me inside and I fell.

His expression soften but I looked at him as my eyes swam with tears.

"I hate you. Leave me locked again as you always do!."

He clenched his jaw but as soon as I said those words his eyes widened as sadness crossed her face and recognition dawned his face. He slowly closed the door but I squeezed my eyes as I cried on the floor, sobbing.

I stayed all night crying until I fell asleep on the floor, since my cheeks reddened and my head hurt after crying a lot.

I suddenly regretted those words towards my father, I didn't mean them.

I'm sorry.

•••••••••••••••••

I opened my eyes feeling dizzy.

What happened?

I tried to move but my nose and lip hurt as hell. I winced as I tried to move. I looked around and I was alone in the room.

I stood up slowly and walked towards the bathroom. My whole body ached but my column did the most. Shit.

As I turned the light on I gasped as I looked at my reflection.
