"Say something, honey "what was I supposed to tell him? Congratulations?" "honey? "

"Are you also yanking me? you know I just... I just listened to your son make a joke and it was actually funny  because he called you guys superheroes just because you made lunch, But right now daddy, you are not funny. I understand that no one in our family got the funny bones, but you don't joke with something like that." I got up and started treading back to the house. My mood was foul and I regretted even coming there with him.

" I am sorry okay, I wished that it was some awful joke but it is not. I just want you to know the truth because it has been eating me alive. I can't take it anymore.The day your mom fell down the stairs... "he cast his gaze down as if afraid to go to the next line of his own sentence ." She walked in on Florence and I kiss.. . "

" I don't want to hear it. I do not want to know about what you and Florence did. Just stay the hell away from me. "I stormed out of there before he said something that could make me kill him.

I killed you mother! I killed your mother!  That piece of information kept replaying in my head as I walked through the woods.  I reached out and wiped off a pool of tears that was almost blinding me. Where does someone even get the courage to tell me something like that?

" Honey you are going the wrong way." I heard my dad and sneered..What did he care? He killed my mother. "I am sorry, just come home with me. "I wanted to keep going, but I had reached the end of the road. In  front of me, trees had squeezed together and nothing but a wild animal could pass through.

The fact that he was right made me angry. And why was he saying sorry. Was that supposed to bring her back? Was that supposed to erase the fact that she died heartbroken? That the last thing she saw right before her light was sniffed out, was his tongue down her throat. Her supposed best friend.

I made a sharp turn and started hurrying back. I didn't want to be anywhere near him. I even ran through the woods just so I could make distance between us. I didn't feel anything, not the branches that scratched the hell out of me. I fell more than once and each and every time, I had no idea how I got back up. I just wanted to run!

My mother's image kept flashing in my head.  Her sad face. He tortured and finally murdered her. And then he remorselessly sold me  to a dickhead, with a fake ring. I picked up my speed my heart beating loudly. My mind was jumbled up with emotions that left me in tears. The very tears that pooled behind my eyes, comprising my vision. That was why I didn't see the huge trunk of sycamoreTree...... Untill I had collided with it.

I landed on the ground my strength leaving my body. I didn't even fight to stay awake. I was exhausted of always fighting to not faint. I did it for months with Zayn, but not anymore.

"Are you okay?" I thought I was dead until I heard that voice. My eyes slowly flattered open to find him hovering over me. "Honey, can you hear me?" I heard you murderer.

I tried to lift my head but groaned in pain instead.

"Don't move, you took a huge blow to your head. " looking at his pityfull eyes, I pushed myself until I was on my foot. I whacked his hand away and groaned limping away. My head was killing me.

My body cried with every step I took, I ached all over. I heard my dad sigh impatiently. I knew he was resisting the urge to throw me over his shoulder and carry me home and I almost smiled because I won.

"Princess ..."

" Do not princess me right now. You are a monster, You killed my mum, You murdered my mum, I hate you. "I could  see his heart literally drop and it pained me even more. I had no idea why hurting him hurt me even more. Why could I not hate him?
