To hell with life!💙

School dragged like usual though lunch was a blast. We played spin the bottle and it was so much fun. I've realised that our friendship was being held by the beef I had with Britanny. Ever since we solved our rilvary, our friendship became stronger. I have to admit, life is good (just remembered a song by Drake ft Future heheh😂)

"Do you need a lift Catherine?" Asked Gabe. I was so surprised, I thought this guy hated me. For a moment I considered this a prank.

"Drop the act Gabe, it's making me sick." I knew I was being ungrateful though I really neded to know the reason behind his so called kindness.

He groaned, "And this is what I get for trying to be nice." He rolled his eyes.

"Okay, Okay lets go." I decided to give him a chance, maybe if we became friend's, the hostility between us would end.

"I knew you couldn't resist my charm Catherine." He joked

I chuckled, he really was something else. His mood swings were worse than a sulking goat.

"Are you gonna keep standing there and staring at me or what?" He gave me a murderous glare.

Like I said, he's nuts...

The ride with Gabe was horrible, we both didn't know what to talk about. I tried playing some music but he grasped my arm and slammed it on the dashboard.

After that weird display , I never dared to move an inch. This is what I get for agreeing to ride with a psycho. He muttered an apology though it wasn't satisfying. I really hated his guts. How dare he slam my arm. I am so gonna get him tommorow for this, today the only thing I focused on was survival. I didn't try annoying the beast again.

He dropped me off hurriedly. Jeez I knew he hated me but he could've at least tried to be nice. He's so screwed, I'm really so going to draw a revenge plan when I get to my library. Yes, I have my own library, perks of having a rich dad.

When I got inside, I was met with a very disturbing scene. Boxes we everywhere and items were scattered on the floor. Who was moving? Maybe dad had another business trip though he wouldn't have to pack plates and cutlery right?

"Hello Madam, would you like anything to drink?" Asked one of the maids, Rebecca.

"No, Rebecca what's going on?"

"It's not my place to say, your parent's are waiting for you in the living room. They want to talk to you about something." She looked nervous, I hope I didn't do anything wrong this time.

"Okay, move." I spoke in a stern icy voice reminding her that I am her Boss. She averted her eyes on the ground and turned to her heel.

I sighed, dropping my bag and heading to the living room where i found mom and dad arguing. Its been a long time since I've seen them argue. They always ignored each other to avoid arguments, so this made me really skeptical. They stopped the moment they acknowledged my presence.

"No continue, I can be the Judge Judy." I joked trying to lighten the mood.

Though I was met with frowning faces. I felt embarrassed, have you ever made a joke and ended up laughing alone? It's really embarrassing and that's what I felt right now. My dad always laughs at my jokes even though deep inside I knew they sucked and that's what I admired about him. He never pulled me down. Okay something was definitely up and I needed to know.

"What's going on?" I asked the same question for the third time today.

"We are moving." Mom said, erase that announced.

"No we are not!" I shot back.

"Yes, your father here just lost his job, who is going to pay the bills? We can't afford all of this." She gestured 'this' with her hands.

At that moment everything came crashing to my face, reality strucked me. We were so doomed and this was all mom's fault, if she had a job we wouldn't be in this position.

"This is actually your fault mom!" I raised my voice, getting more angrier.

"Oh really now! How?" This was the first time my mother raised her voice when speaking to me. I flinched.

"You are so inconsiderate mom! If it wasn't for your diva act we could've had a backup! But no..since you were too.."

I was interupted bu a slap that sent me grasping the countertop for support. How dare she? I looked at her cupping my stinging cheek. This witch thinks she can just slap me and get away with it so easily. She has another thing coming.

"It's the truth right? That's why you got to this extend, the truth hurts right Pricilla?"

My mother gasped with tears flowing like a waterfall. That's for slapping me, you Witch!

"Answer goddammit!" I yelled each word coming out with sobs.

"ENOUGH!" Dad slammed his hand on the table, leaving me and mom startled. That would sure leave a bruise. Dad hardly yells, so he must be really angry.

"Catherine that's no way to talk to your mother, APOLOGISE THIS INSTANT." It was more of a demand, leaving no room to argue. I knew I couldn't even try, he looked murderous right now and it scared me.

"I'm sorry mom, I'm just in shock." I dropped my gaze to the polished floor. Apologizing wasn't my thing and it felt embarrassing. I hated feeling vulnerable and that's where apologising put me.

"Okay." It was merely a whisper but both dad and I managed to hear it. This wasn't like her at all. Mom was usually a loud and bubbly person.

"Let's finish packing, we are moving to the farm." Dad spoke sternly.

I crunched my nose at the mention of that place, no way I'm going to live in a farm with my annoying grandparents. Just when my life was starting to be peachy. Yay life.

"But dad please, we can try somewhere else but please not the farm." I whined clutching his leather jacket.

"Cathering, it's settled." His voice was icy, I missed his soft one. For a moment I forgot I was talking to my father, the once super chilled dad.

I felt tears running down my cheek so I sniffled lightly hoping to gain dad's attension but I was met with a glare that obviously said 'Drop the $%&$ act'. I couldn't believe this. How could he ignore me like that. I quickly ran to my room and cried my heart out. This was basically the end of a good life but the beginning of a rough one.

I felt pathetic, why was I crying for something so small? It wasn't a big deal and to one's eye it could be seen as the beginning of a new life. It could've felt good by that time when I had no true friends and hated life but now I had a lot of thing's woth staying for. I couldn't leave Britanny, she was a sister from another mother.

I sighed loudly thinking of ways to tell her the bad news. "To hell with life" I screamed and cried once more. I knew my parents heard that but they chose to ignore it. What hurt me the most is how dad treated me today....

What do y'all think? Do you see the moving part as an opportunity to start afresh or as a drag down like Catherine states?
