"Why did you leave me all alone with her!?" I screamed at my father's casket, pointing at my mother. I couldn't understand why he left me with her. He knows i never got along with my mother. I was always a daddy's little girl, even though i'm seventeen almost eighteen. I'm balling out tears now, I haven't cried since I saw what he did. I haven't spoken either.
"You know she'll sent me away anyways! You couldn't of held out for longer until I was eighteen!? Or left me to Grandma!? Why'd you have to leave me with that bitch!?" i had finally clasped to the ground now. The pain now hurts too much to even stand. Then I felt familiar little hands on my shoulder, my grandmother's hands, my grandmother on my fathers side that is.
"Karmen, my dear please stop this. It won't bring him back. He cant answer those questions anymore and you know it sweetheart," my grandmother, Sally Duffy, sighed as if she's trying to convince herself more than me that her son is actually gone.
"But, grandmama-"
"No child, stop this, you are only making it harder for everyone else here, including yourself by acting so childish."
"I couldn't of said it better myself Sally." my mother had to just chimed in the conversation now. And with what she had said I whipped my head towards her giving her a good scold, my eyes still teary from crying over my father's casket. Oh god just thinking about saying his casket makes me want to believe it's not true.
"Raven, you don't get to speak. I don't even know why you are here." my grandmother now turning towards my mother. I have a bad feeling about this... Non the less my mother did not back down from my grandmother, my mother was scared of no one. Ever. She's was a lawyer it was basically her job not to get scared of people standing up to her.
"Now, now Sally, we both know why I have come here. I've come to get my dear daughter," my mother spoke of me as her daughter in disgust. pure disdain in her face as she speaks of me, the daughter she cast aside. "to bring her home with me where she belongs of course." my mother said with a wicked smile across her face.
"She does not belong with you, we both know it Raven. You will-" my grandmother was cut off by my very rude mother
"She does not have a choice. By law she is my child and she will be coming back to LA with me. Tonight, whether she wants to or not. And that is final." my mother says in her "lawyer" voice. After what my mother said to my grandma she turns to me.
"We are leaving at 10 o'clock tonight say your goodbyes, and pack up your shit or we are leaving it behind." at that my mother spins on her heels and walks out of the room, everyone including me shocked and scared shit-less.
----
Once i had said my goodbyes to everyone that loves me for me, i have to bring my stuff out to the rental car my mother had. My last thing was a soccer bag my dad had given me with some of his stuff he left behind for me, including his last words to me in a letter i haven't opened yet. i close the trunk of the car and turn to see my grandmother trying to get my mother to still change her decision on taking me away. My mother wasn't having it, she was on the phone ignoring my grandmother, probably talking to her agent saying we are about to leave for the airport. See my mother is now a famous Model, in America that is. I look nothing like my mother. My mother has deep dark red hair, short so she can wear wigs for photo shoots, she is also very tall like any other model shes 5''11'. I actually got my height from my mother, I'm just a couple inches shorter than her. My mother is also very skinny, not fat on her anywhere, where as I, have a little fat here and there but mostly muscle. I also have long brunette hair with natural blonde highlights from my father.
My mother finally gets off the phone, pushes pass my grandmother and towards me thats now leaning against the car. Once my mother sees me she yells at me to correct my posture, shes a model non the less. "You have to stand tall Karmen, suck in the fat belly of yours Karmen, fix your hair Karmen... blah blah blah." That is all my mother could ever do, correct me like im broken, but im not. I'm just not like her. Once she gets over to the driver side she orders me to get in, i give my grandmother one last look of goodbye and she mouths to me "I'm sorry sweetheart, i love you" and says "Ich liebe dich Karmen." and i respond to her with "Ich liebe dich auch Oma." and with that i stepped into the car, with the bitch i have to call a mother.
