Buttons And Lace .

Leaving behind..

" I am sorry, I didn't mean it . Listen James I can't let you do this . Think of our daughter at least"  The lady pleaded .

" Don't you think you should value your respect and leave , I have decided that I am not living with you anymore" The man spoke with disgust.

" James ,please " .  The woman literally begged yet the look on the man's face was intact.

He threw the divorce papers on her face and shut the door . As the woman lay crying outside, her reddish eyes were glancing  accusingly at the young girl who stood beside her , catching ahold of her skirt.
" This is all because of you. I wish I had never given birth to you." She yelled and pushed away the child.

I woke up. Another damn nightmare ..

I was sweating profusely and could sense that had I not woken up sunlight would have literally burnt my face .

" Izzy!!
Where the hell are you . ? "

I rushed to the front door

Shit......

Yesterday I had a bad mood . I locked the front door and slept . Chloe was outdoor that time and I had slept through out .

Oh. No.

Chloe must have stayed out all night .

Oh.  my.  god ..

She is gonna kill me now.

" You are a bitch, I am gonna kill you." Chloe yelled on top of her voice .

" I am sorry I thought I would open but I just dozed off. Please I will buy you Mc Donalds this whole week . " I was pleading her .

" Alright." She shrugged off as she walked into her room and threw her scarf onto the bed.
" That's it!?" I asked in disbelief. Chloe was no easy forgiver, I knew her, there must be a catch.

" I forgave you,  ask me why ??" She had a goofy grin on her face .

" You must have encountered some one handsome and gone behind him" I said narrowing my eyes at her , not wanting her to admit the obvious.

" You guessed wrong babe , it's true I saw a handsome guy but I didn't go behind him ,he is just next door " She answered smirking.

Here we go.

" Don't tell me you spent the entire night staring at him through the balcony!!!"
She gave a nod and I went dumb .

This sneaky little bitch.

" Now stop all this and tell me, did you get any admission letter? " she asked .

I didn't check .
I shut my eyes instinctively.

She gave me a don't - u- dare glare and I gave sorry kind of shrug.

" Let us check it right now "

She got her laptop and started filling the details. I was standing opposite and could not see the screen so I relied on her expressions for an answer. I observed her mouse scrolling through..

" And..."

Pristine ... breathe in , Breathe out .
I said myself to stay calm.

" Chloe, what happened? , just tell me "

"Bitch.. you got into Yale!!"

" What...?? "
I was dumb founded .

I knew that I wrote the LSAT well but I seriously didn't think of Yale then .
Dad left us when I was young so I didn't have any options left . And mom met my step father when I was ten.  His son and I were of the same age . My step father took good care of us in the beginning but after a while , let's just say he changed. Especially after mom's sickness.

I ,anyways didn't have much interest in sorta anything so , I  just decided to go with law as of now.

But yes ,I did love a bit of football.
But I already told mom about it and mom said it requires a lot of time and money to invest in it to be professional player. Couldn't say she was wrong. Besides Law felt good. I was good at that. So this is my new normal.

Firstly ,after dad left us he never cared about us ,so alimony was a rare thing to think about. And about time,
mom was suffering from tachycardia .
So I think time is also not something I have. I had to give into what she actually wanted . Chloe was happy for me and I was too.

Then we checked Chloe's results ,she too got qualified.We were literally on cloud nine!
I and chloe were friends from school, continued to same high school and now to the same college .

It sounded awesome ..it did.

" We must celebrate , let's go somewhere tonight " Chloe spoke up .

"Um... Oh. Okay." I too was excited but usually Chloe 's way of celebrating is partying and I was way too out of it .

" Nightclub is the best thing , let's go to Spades. It's a good one I hear. "

" No "  I, replied flatly
" Firstly not to a nightclub and certainly not to spades "

" Why " 
"Ain't gonna happen , Chloe I am not coming, if you are keen then you can go " I said curtly .

" You are damn boring " Chloe whined giving up.
I knew Chloe won't go anywhere without me and moreover I was never interested in late night parties at clubs and Spades reeks of Marijuana and weed . It's like a place for jocks and rich spoilt brats.

I simply hate it .
