The Zerrie Trap

Chapter Eight

(Paige's P.O.V.)

Gone for three days and dad is looking for wedding rings for Claire. Doesn't he know that I hate her guts?

She has no right to date him, I thought.

"Monica, why are you yelling?" She said folding clean, washed clothes.

Did I say that out loud?

"Yes, you did and what do you mean have the right to date? Are you dating someone?" She asked.

"Nope, but are you?" I said trying to change the topic.

"Umm maybe," she mumbled. Wait, what?

"You're dating someone!" I start to yell. "What about dad!?" Just by saying those words I covered my mouth, refusing to talk. "Dad? Monica, dad is gone and isn't part of our life anymore. So please, could we move one? Could I move on?" She begged. "Fine, but your telling me who you're dating," I demand.

"Okay, his name is- well I kind of forgot, but he's really charming and good-looking. I guess we aren't dating but he did ask me out when you were gone," she explained, dropping the basket of clothes of the grown. "You don't know his name, but he asked you out?"

"Yes, but I rejected him because I wasn't ready for dating. I met him three times, we're co-workers," she said.

"Okay," I replied. "By the way, I need to go to Bradford, Uk this week," she spoke.

Wait? I live there.

"Bradford? Why? Umm, can I come?"

"I guess you can. Sure. You've really changed though."

"How?" I raised an eyebrow.

"You are actually paying attention to what I'm saying," she smiled.

"Haha, I didn't change. I always paid attention." I faked. I've only met her in two days! How do you expect me to act like her?

"You're creeping me out. Anyway, I need to buy some supplies at the store so I'll leave you here," she took her keys and walked besides the door.

"Gee, thanks mum. Could you buy me-" She ran out the door and leave. What a bummer, I'm alone now and I wanted food. I frowned and jumped on the couch, flipping through channels on the tv.

I stopped, once I spotted a movie that was like my life right now, The Parent Trap. They were so little when they switched identities. At the end, their parents lived happily ever after. I wish that is going to happen to us. We will live in one house and Claire would be gone.

Stupid Claire. She had to get in my dad's life. What did he see in her? She's made of trash, I know I shouldn't be hating but it's true. It's logic.

I stood up, lazy walking to the kitchen. I grabbed the close bag of chips and quickly walked back to the couch.

Slouching, I continued watching the movie.

I heard a beep from my phone, but it's on the dining table far from the couch. I groan, standing up and running to the table to get my phone.

"Hello?"

"Going shopping with dad is the most embarrassing thing ever. Help me, please. He keeps on yelling your name, telling me to try this, try that. I could you deal with this?" Monica cried.

"He does that a lot, just pretend that you don't know him and try to get closer. Steal the clothes and run to the fitting room. Don't make people notice you," I said, giving her awesome advice.

"Thanks, but could you repeat that again?"

"Good bye, Monica."

"Wait-"

I hung up, laughing that she got to experience that. I remember when I had to do that. The first time he did that, I was around with my friends after a movie we watched. It was so embarrassing they stayed away from me, but that was the moment when he laughed too hard he was crying. I've never seen him cry before. He said crying was for girls. I also got mad that he said that.

Thinking about those memories wants me to go back home, but I need to stay. Maybe mum and I could do something together that will be fun.

My phone beeps and again it was Monica.

"What now?"

"I forgot to mention you that tomorrow I have to go shopping with Claire."

"Why?"

"The ring thing remember. Dad wants me to get to know her better. The only problem is I don't know you!"

"Okay, just wing it," I sighed.

"Kk, bye!"

"Bye." She hung up, and I dropped my phone on the couch. Changing the channel, I got bored and started to close my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, this was boring. Next chapter, I think, is going to be better. I'm not going tell you guys when I'm updating because every time I do, I end up not updating.

Flood me with comments if you want!

Bye! <3
