Involved with the Bad Boy

Chapter 31

"Good Afternoon mom."

I walked into the kitchen when I found mom cooking dinner. I spent the whole day with Austin and his mom that I didn't even notice the time flying by. Not like I was eager to come home anyways. Eventually I said goodbye to them and drove straight home.

"Where are you coming from this time."

She asked facing me. Typical mom. She doesn't even ask how I'm doing whatsoever. And it's not even that late. I just hope this doesn't call for another argument because I can't have anyone ruin the good day I had.

"I got home a while ago so I'm coming from my room."

I responded.

"So you've even started lying to me now. You haven't been spending most of your time at home lately. And that Austin guy, is he the one you stay with? Or some other taken man?"

She asked angrily. I scanned the kitchen and my eyes landed on a half empty bottle of vodka on the kitchen table. She doesn't sound so drunk so I bet she has just started drinking.

"No mom. I haven't been spending time with anyone."

I said simply not having any energy to fight with her at the moment. I'd rather get to my room and sleep.

"Ouh really? If you're going to be so much of a whore then you should atleast have it in you to own up for your damn actions. Sometimes I wonder why I even gave birth to you in the first place. You just ruined my marriage and my goddamn life. I'd be so much better without you. So much better than having some slut who keeps sleeping around-"

"Mom!"

I shouted unintentionally.

"Don't you dare shout at me you little brat! Does the truth hurt? Tell me does it?"

I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe she was saying all these things. And I suddenly felt that I've had enough.

"Don't you see what you're doing to me? You're abusing me mother and you don't even feel bad about it."

I exclaimed on the verge of crying already.

"I am what? Did you just say I'm abusing you? You're the one who's abusing me, you just won't let me be. Let me drink my alcohol in peace, I don't need some whore telling me to stop and stay home."

Maybe she's sick. Her condition just keeps getting worse.

"I'm always there for you you know. I've always been there. I've always stood by you no matter what and you know why, because I love you. Because I still had some hope left in me that you'll change back to how you were before. That's the only reason why I tolerated you hitting me when ever you felt like it. But with the things you keep saying to me, what kind of mother are you?"

I shouted and that earned me a hard slap on my right cheek. I couldn't hold in my tears anymore. I get hit for telling the truth. I have every reason to cry.

"Shut up! Just shut up! How dare you talk to me like that? All you do is sleep around with men. You have no right to question me."

She shouted pushing me hard making me hit my hand on the hot pot that was on the stove. I gave out a scream and held my hand. The pain was so severe I couldn't stop crying. And she didn't even seem to care.

"You've done me enough damage mother."

I said trying not think about how bad my hand was hurting.

"You don't even care about me. You don't even care to ask how I'm doing. Not once have you apologised for hitting me or accusing me of your imaginary infidelities. You didn't even ask where I slept last night after you practically dragged me on broken glass."

I was panting now. I felt so godamn angry I wanted to say everything she's done to hurt me but I knew I wouldn't finish.

"You know I've let people drift away from me for your sake. I actually have no friends left because I chose you instead of them. I tried by all means to be the good daughter you've raised but today...today I've realised something. You won't change. You won't ever change. You won't cease treating me like trash even if I stay for your sake."

I kept ranting and I was even surprised she just stood there listening to me talk.

"I'm the one abusing you right? You hate me so much for being a burden in your life. Well guess what, I'm fed up of trying. I'm tired of trying to wait for you to be someone better. You win mom. You win because you'll no longer have me as a nuisance. You won't have anyone telling you to stop drinking, atleast I won't be that someone. I'm leaving. For good. Consider me dead because I'm better off alone than having you as a mom. Because you are a  lost cause mom. A LOST CAUSE!"

I shouted before retreating from the kitchen to get my things from my room. I'm tired of all this. I'm so fed up I don't have it in me to hope anymore.

I took my phone and dialed my dad. I've decided to just go to his place. Where else can I go anyways? I stopped at a flower shop to get some daisies. I always had a thing for flowers. Dad wasn't picking up his phone and I wondered what I'll do. He's probably busy at the office. I really need to let him know that I've moved out of the house. I just hope his girlfriend will be fine with me going over. I dialed his number again and this time he picked up on the third ring.

"Hey Alice."

A lady answered. That's surely Oliver.

"Ouh, how are you?"

"I'm good. How've you been darling?"

She replied. I think she's really kind but I really don't know why I dislike her. I've only met her about four times or so, maybe I'll learn to like her with time.

"I'm okay, is dad around?"

"Ouh yeah, lemme just take the phone to him."

I waited for about a minute before I heard dad's voice on the other end.

"Alice, how have you been?"

He asked and I realised just how much I missed him.

"Dad I moved out."

I blurted out and he remained silent for some time.

"Are you being serious?"

"Yes I am. I was just on my way to your house. I hope Oliver is okay with that."

I said.

"I'm sure she has no problem with it but we're out of town for a bit. We're shooting a new film and it will take a while before we come back. So the house is locked."

"Really?"

I asked disappointment evident in my voice.

"Yeah but don't worry darling. I'll send you money to book a hotel for now okay? I'm so sorry I'm not there right now but we'll try to get back as soon as we can okay?"

"It's okay dad. I'll just stay at a hotel."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I said before hanging up.

Hotel seriously. "Just get to it Alice." I muttered to myself as I drove away from the coffee shop.
