Arranged

nice to meet you

"shit shit shit, what the hell am i going to do? i look like shit" i said out loud looking around frantically for a way out. there was non. welp im fucked i thought to myself as i slowly climbed the stairs to my weathered house accepting my fate.

i stood by the front door frozen, what would i say? what would i do? letting out a deep breath which i didnt know i was carrying, i reached for the door nob and twisted it ever so slightly. before i knew it the door flew open, and my mother ran out engulfing me in a sufficating forced hug.

"god Kate where were you" she exclaimed, my mothers words expressed worry, her facial expression however showed nothing but as she squeezed my arms a bit too tightly making me wince. It was obvious to me that she was putting on a show for our company, who stood awkwardly in the corner of the living room.

i only caught a glimpse of them before my mother was dragging me by the hand behind her towards the kitchen. "if you ever do that again i will kick the shit out of you Kate, you hear me?" i looked down at my feet, and then back at her "i said- "yes mother i heard you" i said walking past her up to my room. yep she was definitely the bipolar one.

tears threatened to fall as i flopped onto my bed looking at the pretty floral dress i had layed out earlier. quickly i wiped my eyes and got dressed into the garment leaving my clothes in a matted pile on my dirty floor.

i dashed down the stairs abruptly stopping in the kitchen at the entrance to our living room where i heard my mother talk to the company about bridesmaid dresses for the wedding. "kate decided she wanted lavender, of course she knows i destest the colour" i rolled my eyes, god she was such a bitch.

"mother its my choice what colour i like" i replied as i made my way into the room, my black heels clicking on the wooden floor. hearing a chuckle on the other side of the room i notice a pair of deep blue eyes identical to the ones in the picture my mother had shown me just a few hours earlier.

the boy was quickly elbowed in the side by his father, and he went quiet. his smile disappeared and was replaced by a sad look as he inched farther from the bearded man.

his dirty blond hair fell in front of his eyes, and his prominent jawline clenched as he looked into my soul, or at least it felt like it. the boy's appearance was striking, and i felt as though i could'nt move, that was until a cold ruff hand grabbed my arm and i was pulled to a seat opposite of him.

i could immediately tell who the hand belonged to, and i turned to my father with distane. he sat back as if nothing had happened as i rubbed my sore wrist.

"Kate this is Leo, Leo Kate" said my father smugly as i awkwardly looked at my suiter, who i could tell felt just as awkward about the situation as i was. "hi" said Leo, shifting slightly on the couch as his eyes dropped to his feet.

"so Kate, what are your plans for the future?" asked a blond haird woman who i presumed to be Leonardos mum, a gentil smile graceing her face as she played with the stap on her purse. i could tell she was nervous as well.

"well at the moment im quite interested in acting actually" i replyed as i sat back in my chair flinching as i waited for a look of discust which never came. Leos head shot up as his eyes once again connected with my green ones.

"oh thats so interesting, Leo here actually acts as well" said his mum proudly as she rubbed his shoulder. "hes not very good at it" scoffed Leos father as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it  taking a deep drag before blowing it into leos face. the boy didnt even flinch, he just sat there taking his fathers shit.

"Thats so cool!" i exclained, perhaps a bit too excited about the news. "what work have you done so fare?" i questioned waiting for his response "well i like playing more unconventional rolls i guess" spoke Leo quietly "one of my favourites was actually being in this boys life with Robert deniero". smiling he continued, "it was so funny his acting in the movie actually reminded me a lot of my dad." but then stopped, knowing that he shouldn't of said that.

Leos dad stood up from his chair, and round housed him across the face. "see what i mean"  said the boy holding his nose. i gasped as his father pinned a struggling Leo to the ground and began hitting him on the back. once he was done Leos father stood up, giving his son one final kick in the stomach before making his way back to the couch, and taking another puff of his cigarette.

i jumped up from my chair and ran over to Leo who was lying on the ground doubled over in pain. "ill do it to you to red head, if you dont leave my son alone" said Leos father chuckling. sighing i slowly began to get up before i felt a warm hand touch my own, i looked down to see Leo, my eyes caught in his once again.

"try me" i replied bluntly standing up from the floor and pulling Leo with me. smirking, Leos father once again stood to his feet, and wound up for a punch, which i dodged with ease. my parents gasped as i hit him square in the face, blood streamed from his nose as he smiled at me, "huh so shes a feisty one eh" and with that he punched me hard in the ribs making my legs buckle from under me.

"are fucking kidding me? you just punched a girl, do you know how fucked up that is?" questioned Leo in shock as he looked over at me. my hair was a mess, and my floral dress had lifted a bit revealing a bit of my white lacey underwear which ive got to admit was pretty embarrassing to be honst.

"what did you just say?" asked the boys father advancing forward, and slapping him on the cheek. out of the corner of my eye i could see Leos mother slowly stand up, "George we should go" she said picking up her bag and making her way towards my parents who were just as shocked as i was. Dont get me wrong my parents were mean, but never like this.

"thank you so much for a wonderful time, im really sorry about, well about everything" she said sympathetically looking towards me, and then back to my parents. they nodded and walked her to the door, George followed not far behind giving Leo and me discusted looks as he went.

i stopped and turned to Leo who looked at me and smiled softly, "i uh- "thank you" Leo cut in "it was really nice to meet you" a small smirk still laced his face as i looked into his eyes which held a certain sparkle. "you to" i replied as we slowly made out way to the door. "good bye Kate" "bye Leo" i replied watching him as he shook hands with both my parents before walking out the door.

oh my god Kate and Leo finally met! im like actually so excited lol even tho im the one writing. again sorry for the spelling mistakes.
