Mia's pov
A few days have now passed. I'm still living with Boggi and the twins. I just felt more at home where I'm at now.
Currently Rabecca and I are sun bathing under the warm sun.
The boys were swimming in the pool.
Rebecca and I were having small talk when my phone vibrated.
It was my dad.
I sigh.
"At least just talk to him. He's probably worried sick." Rebecca tells me.
She's probably right. I haven't spoken to him since I left. I have been ignoring his texts and calls.
I groan, "Fine."
I get up and walk away where I can be alone.
"Dad?"
"Oh thank God you're okay."
"Dad, I'm fine..."
"Where the hell are you? Tell me so I can come and get you."
"Dad, listen to me. I'm fine okay, I'm safe. I'm just staying over at a friends place for a while."
"Why? Is this because of Maria?"
"I can't stand being around her, dad. I tried to be the perfect daughter, I tried but whatever I do she's always pushing me around."
"Mia, I'll talk to her..."
By now tears are streaming down my cheeks.
"Talk to her? Seriously dad? Do you know she's been bad mouthing mom all this time? Slapping me around calling me a slut? And you want to 'talk' to her?"
I hear my dad sigh.
"Oh my God...you knew didn't you?"
"Mia...it's not like that-"
"Then what is it, dad? Cause clearly you choosing Maria over me."
"Mia..."
"Don't wait up on me because I don't think I can live in a house where I feel nothing but more of a stranger. Goodbye, dad."
I sniff and hang up the phone before he could say anything more.
"You okay?" I turn to see Boggi with a towel in his hands.
I swallow hard, "Yeah...I'm fine. I think I had enough sun for today."
I walk past him into the house.
After taking a cool shower I get dressed in cotton shorts and a t-shirt.
I sat on Boggi's balcony, watching the sunset with my knees pulled up to my chest.
"Knock knock." Boggi joins me.
"Hey."
"Hey..." He takes a seat next to me.
"You know, watching the sunset is my thing." He says, still looking out at the sunset.
"Well, I guess it's become my thing too." I smile lightly at him.
"Mia, are you okay? Like actually okay?"
"I'm fine..." I shrug, but then shake my head, "No, no I'm not fine."
Boggi watches me as if he's waiting for me to continue to talk.
"Do you know my mom, she killed herself."
Boggi's jaw ticks, he shakes his head.
"Yeah, she uh, she fell into a deep depression after losing my baby sister at birth. She OD'd on sleeping pills including her antidepressants."
"Mia...I-I'm so sorry..."
"No it's okay. I know she's in a much better place now. Although, I do miss her an awful lot." I fiddle with my fingernails.
"But if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't of met you." I say as I look up at Boggi.
Boggi takes my hand in his, "I'll always be here for you. Never forget that."
I give him a light smile before looking out into the sunset.
Author's note:
Sorry for the short chapter, this was more of a filler. I promise the next chapters will be longer.
Thanks!
