*that day*
Mom: c'mon hun, put on some shoes and grab your closest belongings
Liv: what why
Mom:just do it
I look at her confused a nod, I put on my shoes and grabbed my most prized possessions and my phone. I put on my volleyball quarter zip jacket and walked out my room and to the living room, once I got in to the living I look over at the couch and see my mom with a few laundry baskets full of our clothing and few pairs of shoes. I look over and see me little sister Sydney crying and I put my things next to my mom and bend beside and she hugs me tightly.
Liv: mom what's going on!
Mom: I'll explain later....
I stood up and looked at her frustrated.
Liv: no tell me now
She looked at me then back at the clothes.
Mom: we are leaving...... for good this time
I stood there in disbelief, tears started to form in my eyes and I looked down. It felt like something was heavy on my throat. She came over to me and hugged me.
Mom: I'm so sorry, but I can't live like this anymore
I nod a bit and I wipe the tears from my face. I help her grab the baskets and we load them into her car. We all got in the car and my mom drove off.
*backstory*
My names Olivia but everyone calls me Liv. I've grown up with my parents arguing everyday and night since I was 3. I'm 16 now so it's a long time. My dad always went out to bars and spent his money on alcohol, and would cheat on my mom with other women. They been to therapy, they've tried to talk it out but nothing changes. My dad was also very abusive towards my mother, if he got mad he would push her or smack her, maybe even throw things at her. I've always tried to stand up for my mom but I was to scared. I know don't like arguing or fighting it reminds me to much of them. I try to protect my little sister as much as I can as long with my mom.*end of backstory*
————————————————————————
After about 20 minutes of driving we got to this really big house. I look at her.
Mom: welcome home
I look back at the house with a confused look.
Liv: when did you buy this
Mom: late last night....
I don't respond to her and I unbuckle my seatbelt and get out. She went and opened the door to the house and I grabbed the baskets with our things in it. I took them inside and sat them down on the couch that was in the living room I guess. My mom showed me to my room and I looked at it.
Mom: and yes you may decorate however you want
I smile and walk in and set my clothes and everything of mine on the bed. I put everything away and went back to the living room to my mom cooking.
Liv: hey
Mom: hi
She smiled and I sighed a bit and sat down.
Liv: so are you and dad getting a divorce?
She froze and stared down at the food.
Mom: y-yes, but it'll be better for us, no more yelling or anything
Liv: does he know we left
She nodded.
Mom: we are going back tomorrow to get all of our stuff
Liv: okay
I sigh and look down I get up and go back up to my room. I got on my phone and watched tiktoks. After awhile dinner was ready but I didn't feel like having to sit with my mom in silence for about 30 minutes.
Mom: Liv dinner is ready!
Liv:I'm not hungry! Go ahead!
I yell from room and she didn't answer back. I stayed laying down. I got on YouTube and watched a few videos and slowly fell asleep.
*next morning*
I woke up to my sister knocking on my door.
Syd:Wakey Wakey biatch
Mom:Sydney Lynn watch your language!
I laughed causing Sydney to glare at me.
Syd: but Olivia gets to say it!
Mom: cause she's older!
She rolled her eyes and walked to the living I got up and threw on a big sweatshirt. I walked into the kitchen and ate some cereal.
Liv: so what are today's plans
Mom: well your dad is helping us move out and then we have a family reunion to go to.
Liv:wait so dad is not mad at you for leaving him??
Mom:nope, he said that even tho he still has love for me deep down in his heart that he will still support all of my decisions and that he doesn't want to have any trouble so we will be just friends
I sat there in disbelief.
Liv: wow..... this is the most calm divorce I've ever heard of
She laughed. After I got done eating the doorbell rang. I answered it and it was my dad.
Liv: hey pops!
Dad: hey hun, ready to help me move your stuff in
I sigh a bit but force a smile.
Liv:yep
He was still smiling and he turned around and we walked to his truck and started loading things into the house.
Dad: I took every last thing out of room so you could have your great room here
Liv:we will still get to see you right?!
Dad: yes yes of course just not as much, I'll have you 4 days a month
Liv:What!
He frowned a bit.
Dad: I know it's not very much but it's every other weekend.... I'm sorry, but me and your mom that choice. It's not that I don't wanna see you more often it's just I want you guys to protect your mom, I don't want her finding another bad person like me and you guys having to go through it all again
I looked down and nodded. He hugged me tightly and we got back to work. *time skip and hour* we were finally done and my dad waved and drove back to his house and I walked inside.
Mom:now that we have everything, you two go to rooms unpack and then get dressed in something nice for the reunion
We both nodded and I walked upstairs to my room and unpacked everything my dad brought. And then I started getting ready.
