Hira
"Where have you been?".
I paused in the foyer of the house and looked up to the stair case to see Dad walking down towards me.
Why do you care? You've never cared before.
"Out with a friend" I replied.
"What the hell did you do to your hair?" he asked, walking towards me.
"I cut it" I said.
Duh.
He came to a stop in front of me and stared at me, his expression mildly annoyed.
"Don't do anything to your hair without my permission again" Dad said.
"Why do you care? It's not your hair" I said, clenching my hand tighter.
He sighed, crossing his arms. "Listen Hira, I'm not here to argue with you. However, I would like to know what you said to Giselle" Dad said, his bushy eyebrows furrowed.
"Why?".
"She locked herself in our bedroom and won't eat" he said.
What is she? A child? What type of full grown adult does that? All I said was she wouldn't ever replace Mom.
"I just said the truth" I replied, walking past him.
"Hira Dhillon" Dad said sternly.
I stopped and looked back at him.
He looked tired as he looked at me. "She's going to be family, I'd prefer if you got along with her".
"She may become your new wife or whatever but she will never be family to me" I said, coldly.
"I love her, I just hope for you to love her too as family" Dad said.
"Love her? What a joke" I mumbled to myself.
You don't love anyone but yourself.
"You hear me Hira? I expect you to get along with her from now on" he said.
You disgust me.
"Did you even love Mom?" I asked sharply.
Dad's eyes widened slightly and he sighed. "I did".
"Liar" I said, before stomping off.
I quickly went into my room shutting the door.
I sighed. There goes my good mood.
I plopped down on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Mom why did you even agree to get married to an asshole like that? " I mumbled to myself, "You should've ran away".
Mom and Dad had an arranged marriage. From what I know, Mom was the one who had to break up with her lover because of her parents to get married to Dad. So why did Dad still treat her like trash instead of loving her?
I closed my eyes. Whatever.
*BZZ*
I picked up my phone.
Luca: I had a great time tonight
Me: me too
I paused before typing again.
Me: did the paint come off easily?
Luca: yeah but Alec did laugh his ass off when he saw me
