An Angel Fall

An Angel's fall

The whole way back to the house was silent, of course, they will wait until we are home to yell at me and scold me, I can feel the tension in the air, my dad is mad at me, and Lilibeth is too, but I don't give a damn.

We parked outside and I immediately got out of the car, "Ariana to my office now", my dad yelled before I could get in.

As soon as we were seated he began, "The way you behaved is deplorable, and even when I warned you that this dinner was important, you showed off! I ask you not to call him attention", He paused and poured himself whiskey into a glass.

"Father, Don't you think you've drank too much already?", I snapped.

"Is that what you have learned in America? To be disrespectful, to be inappropriate?", I feel offended by his words.

"Well father, you sent me there to study, not to be raised well, otherwise you should have raised me yourself, don't you think?", I snapped, the sound of his hand hitting my face echoed across the room.

I slowly turn to see him, a tear rolled down my cheek, and raise my hand to stroke my sore face.

"I ...", he didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to"

"I'm taking the job in New York, I'm leaving in a week", I told him controlling my tears and leaving him.

I went upstairs to my room, locked the door and I direct myself to the bathroom, 'fuck, my face', the left side of my face is red, and cried out of anger.

"Is this what I came back for?", I told my reflection.

I washed my face and changed my clothes, I got in my bed and closed my eyes shut trying to forget I was a stranger to my father and he was a stranger to me.

When I was about to fall asleep the memory of his dark eyes and his voice whispering almost in my lips made me sit on my bed, Gabriel Ledger intrigues me and attracts me, he is a very handsome man, but beyond that, He is cynical, shameless, annoying, yet powerful; 'why the fuck I'm losing my sleep for him', I scold myself and pull my sheet again to try to sleep.

"Good morning Scar", my Nana greeted me while I entered the kitchen.

"Morning Nana", I replied.

She saw me with concern but didn't say a word, she just squeezed my hand and served my food, after breakfast, I took my laptop and was on my way to the hammock located in the backyard, I think I will distract myself with reading. After a couple of hours was lunchtime and I asked my Nana to send me my food because under no circumstances I would eat with those two strangers.

My dad miraculously didn't call me again to continue with his apprehension. Was almost 2 pm when I decided reading was not working (which is weird cuz I love to read) so I went to change and then I saddled Elizabeth II. I reached the top of the waterfall and tied her to a tree, I took off my clothes and sat on the edge of the stone for a moment to contemplate how mesmerizing this view is. I stood up and taking a deep reconstructing breath, I jumped.

Submerged in the water after that jump is magical, I looked for the surface for air and I submerged again, I started to swim to reach the point where the water hit the lagoon I let the force of the water fill me before returning to the shore and repeat the track, here is where my mom taught me how to swim and is a sacred place for me, when I was returning to the shore again I saw someone standing there observing me, "Mr. Ledger", I uttered.
