Cupid shot an arrow

8. Surprising

I'm in my room just fiddling around. I hear some loud fighting from downstairs.

As I'm descending down the stairs I hear my dad, "Lance Xavier Silas, is this how we have raised you! Drinking and driving!! What else do you do at college! Drugs?!"my mother gasps. "We should be thankful that Dean has called us. To think of what ruckus you would've created!"

"Ruckus huh, wow dad, are you really that... um.. did you even ask me if it was true if..if I actually did any of it. You know what never mind! It's always how proper our clothes are, how proper my grades are! How little do you think of me..you always talk about how children need to grow and be themselves, you talk about individuality of teens.. and you have not once trusted Perri and me. It's always 'you can do it when your older'.You know why I come home every week! I come for Perri.. to keep her going and maybe myself.! Do you even care!!"

"How dare you..!" They are so involved they don't notice reach there me."You wanna fight dad!! My mom's in tears and Lance stands up from the couch in fury. I run in between my dad and Lance and try to calm them.
"Hey, hey calm down..Lance, hey.. hey, go to your room, ok, I'll be there in a minute. Lance please." He huffs and leaves the living room.
I go to my mom and hug her. "Ma, don't cry, he just.." I can't defend my dad or my mom because whatever Lance said is true "..I'll go talk to him alright."
I'm going back when my dad says, "Perri.. do you feel the same.. way." My heart sinks. I'm in a dilemma of what to say. But he answers for me, "You don't have to say anything right now."

I reach Lance's bedroom and knock on his door, "It's me." He opens the door with his eyes swollen. Not the time tease him. Definitely not.
We bed couch thing . I pat his upper arm "So, what was that all about,huh?"
"Leen," Oh it's bad, he hasn't called me Leen in years. He only says it when he's serious. I call him Xavier when I'm serious. My dad says both of our full names on a weekly basis. It's just how it is.
"I'm sick of it, I'm sick of him being a double person. He gives seminars on how kids are different in our generation and he acts like Hitler with us." It's true what he said. Our dad he treats us like we're from the 80's or something. He doesn't let us go out unless we have someone he knows with us. Haya and Theo always sleepover at my house, it took me and Haya so much effort to convince him so I could sleepover at her house. He wasn't always like that.
"Well maybe not Hitler, cause Hitler killed people." I say because he is still our dad.
"Leen. You know what I mean." He glares at me. I put my hands in front of me in a way like 'alright alright'.
"Dean was just messing around. I didn't drink and drive." His head hung low.
"Lance you don't have to explain yourself.."
"I'll get this out in the open, I drink Perri. But not regularly. But I'm not irresponsible enough to drive while drinking and get caught by police."
"Whoaa you do," I say sarcastically. I know for a fact that at parties he gets wasted, but he always sleeps over when he does. "Also do you think it's okay for me to drink?" I ask out of curiosity.
"Hell no, you are not drinking till you're 18." I give him a look like 'you sure about that'. "Ok fine just take precautions when you do. I know that Theo will tell me when you do though."
"Ugh please, don't, I can't tell when it's fake and when it's not."
"Homophobic much. My Sweetheart and I are meeting tomorrow."
"Good, then you can confront him about cheating on you with Haya." He has shock written all over his face.
"Wait seriously, my shit's about to blow. Theo and Haya. What. How. Never mind.. are you okay."
I'm surprised he asked me that. " Um I'm ok I guess, it's sudden that's all.. also why wouldn't I be ok?"
"Perri I started the whole 'Theo is my soulmate' thing because of you, to get it out of you and maybe him.. I thought he liked you. I never realised it was Haya."
"Really, well I thought so too to bo honest... Anyways guess who moved here?" He shrugs.
"The Martins'.."
"Sis why you surprising me so much...just wow. You must be feeling awesome huh?"
"Yeah and you fighting with dad is making it a lot better. You gon get it from ma tho."
"Yup definitely, I'm fu- screwed. What was I thinking!" He face palms himself.
"We have it lot better than other people. We have food and shelter so apologise within time."
"Yeah, amd I'm supposed to be the older one."
