Different Thoughts [ WEEKLYCHRIS | CHRIS COLLINS ]

Chap 11.

[ Anna's POV ]

"Jason," Chris says, focusing on the road.

"Wait, what?" I frown. His sister's boyfriend... I saw her coming from the kitchen a few days ago, but she didn't seem to notice me.

And then the pieces fall together. That girl I called a whore at Jason's party, that's his sister? His sister is dating my ex-boyfriend? I look at him, he's still focused on the road, but I know he's waiting for my reaction. 

"Was your sister also at Jason's party? When I met you?" I ask him. He glances at me, before looking ahead of him again. "Out of all the things you could've said, you decide to ask me this?" He laughs and nods. "Yeah, she was. Apparently, they've been hooking up. He's a fucking dick, but she won't listen to my advice. He's a loser, with those ugly polos and khaki coloured pants." He raises his eyebrows, scoffing at the image of Jason.

"Oh," I say, before looking at my lap. The boy, whom I had a crush on since freshman year and whom I had a pretty serious relationship with, is now dating my boyfriend's sister and Chris thinks he's a loser. Well, isn't this great?

"Is something wrong?" Chris puts his hand on my knee. 

"No, no everything's fine. I just-," I hesitate, "I just have some history with Jason. Nothing to worry about." I quickly add when I see his jaw tensing. 

"You dated him, didn't you?" He asks after a few seconds of silence. I look out the window, we're almost at my house and sigh. I don't want my past with Jason messing with my relationship with Chris. Guys are crazy territorial and I need to tell Chris that I don't feel anything towards Jason anymore.

"Yeah, sorta. It only lasted like, a few months though. I spotted him at the cinema, making out with his bootycall," I laugh, my laugh full of sarcasm. 

"We're at your house," Chris says in a monotone voice, not looking in my direction. 

"Is everything alright?" I lean over and grab his chin, before placing a small kiss on his lips. "Come on, I have no feelings for him anymore, in any way. I'll see you later, okay?" I kiss him again, grab my bag and hop out of his car. 

He waves with a small smile, but it looks too forced to be real. I sigh while waving back and walk up the stairs to the frontdoor. Before I can even knock on the door, the door flies open, revealing my dad.

"Look who decided to show up," he smiles his fake smile, which he only uses when he's doing he's meeting a client, "are you done running from us?"

"Are you done talking shit, while you should be apologizing to mom?" I tilt my head and sarcastically smile back. "Or will you throw me out too?"

Surprisingly, mom shows up and pushes my dad aside. She walks over to me to give me a hug, but I take a step back, almost falling off the porch.

"What are you still doing in this house? Thought you'd be out by now," I shoot at her. I don't mean to be so rude, but I'm just a little frustrated. Thanks to my monthly gift, I'm lashing out at everyone.

"Is this how you talk to me?" her expression changes, but I don't care to be honest. I just want to call Chris and have him pick me up again. "After everything I've done for you, this is how you talk to me after we have one argument? I raised you better than this!"

"How about how you treat me?" I throw my hands dramatically in the air and shake my head. "Where were you, when I needed you the most? Oh well, you were just at your work. You were always at you work and you would probably still be there, if it wasn't for this divorce!"

"Please come in, so we can talk," dad says under his breath, clearly angry. "Ella is already inside." Mom also steps aside, so I can walk in. They probably don't want me to make a whole scene outside, so all the neighbours can hear us fight.

I hear the door slam shut as I walk towards the kitchen. Ella is already seated at the table, playing with the phone in her hands.  

"Well, let's talk then," mom says while sitting down on a chair.
