"What do you mean you're here to stay ? You think this is Matrouh (a place where they go for vacation in Egypt) or something ?!"
I exclaimed, my arms crossed against my chest, anger seems to be blowing out of me. This can not be happening."why don't you ask your mum ?!"
Judy exclaimed back.
"Maybe I will !"
I said, storming out of the set, standing right outside, dialing my mum's number.One ring..two rings..
She picked up after.
"Can you explain why Judy and Saeed are here, right in my set, telling me that they're going to stay there, whether we liked it or not ?!"
I practically yelled through the phone, waiting for her answer, anger boiling inside me.She laughed nervously before answering.
"sorry, sweetie. I know you don't like them very much, but they have to stay in America for a while. I told Marwa and Ahmed that you can take care of them."
She said, her voice calm, which made me more angry."what do you mean you told them ! You think my life isn't already ruined so you can just send them to me ?! Saeed is an adult ! He can take care of himself, and of his cousin if he has to !"
Tears of anger reached my eyes, but I managed to blink them away.
"Adelle, stop saying that your life is ruined, because you're only 13 ! And you have what every girl wish to have ! Give your cousins a chance for God's sake !""No, I won't, because I know they'll ruin everything ! I can't believe you would that to me, mum ! Did you hear what Judy said that day they visited ? She offended Rajwan, and tried to subdue Barron ! I won't let her take my own boyfriend away from me !"
I yelled."Adelle, stop ! What makes you think she'll try to take your boyfriend away from you ? You need to stop making a big deal out of everything. I would never do something that would ruin your relationship with Barron..I would never do something that hurt you !"
She spoke, trying to sound soft."I think you already did that."
I said simply, pain filled my tone, tears starting to fill my eyes once again. But they weren't tears of anger, they were tears of sadness.
"Adelle, it's final. They have to stay with you guys till it's all settled."She hung up after.
I was about to explode in anger, but instead I broke down into tears.
I then felt someone watching me, and turned around.
Barron was right behind me, who has just gotten back from school, his expression soft with sadness."How much did you hear ?"
I said through tears.
"all of it.."
He spoke, before pulling me in for a hug.
I breathed into his scent, sobbing softly.
"Goddess, I won't ever leave you."He kissed the top of my forehead before hugging me tighter.
That day we finished the auditions early, and I walked back home, Barron walking right by my side, trying to make me smile.
