I closed the door behind me immediately I walked in,side, my house and I gave out a loud sigh, Lucas is nice..
I threw my bag on the couch and head straight to the kitchen, I opened the fridge and found it empty, I hate coming home and seeing that thereâs no food.. Momâs at work and dad too.. Damn it..
I found a box of cereal beside the sink and I grabbed it and poured it all in a plate.. After eating that I grabbed my bag and head to my room, which was upstairs..
I jumped on my one-person bed and brought out my novel to read and kill time, just as I opened the page I was reading before a note fell out and laid softly on the bed sheets, I grabbed it and took a glance at it and saw digits and words in it
**777_657_88****
//this is my number, please call me, your friend Luke//
I smiled and shake my head negativelike, I grabbed my phone and dialed the number and he immediately picked up..
âfinally you saw itâ I heard Lucasâs voice say into the phone
âWhy wouldnât I see it, you stuffed it right into the page I was readingâ I said and I heads him chuckle..
âyeah that was so smart of meâ he praised himself and I rolled my eyes, even though he canât actually see me
âwell Iâll see you in school tomorrow Lucas, I have things to doâ I tell him..
âthings like what? Because Iâm ready to talk to you all day longâ he said
âreally? Lucas we just met today and youâre acting like youâve known me like since forever, just because weâre talking and you know my house doesnât mean Iâm your Friendâ I say and he laughed
âI mean yeah, thatâs the strangest thing ever, we just met and I feel like Iâve known you for agesâ he said and I sighed.. Iâm starting to get sleepy
âweâll talk more tomorrow my battery is drainingâ I lied
âare you lying Daisy?â he asked playfully through the phone
âyes yes I am Lucas I am so sleepyâ I said and I could hear him laugh âokay then sleep tight donât let the bedbugs biteâ he said and I sighed and said âI wonâtâ he hanged up and I sighed again and laid my head on my pillow and before I knew it, I drifted to sleep
*
I woke up by the sound of shattered glass, I sighed heavily when I heard my parents angry voice at yelling at each other
Not again.. I came down from the bed and packed my hair up in ponytail.. I walked downstairs and faced the sight I face like every single day,
âI shouldnât have asked you to marry me you witchâ my dad yelled
âlike I wanted to, if you havenât impregnated me and pleaded to take care of me I wouldnât have said yes, I could have train Daisy On my own and you can go live with Noelle and Ben, I donât take shits Gaelâ my mom yelled back
..âmom dad, can you guys just stopâ I plead with sleepy eyes
âstay out of this sweetieâ my mom said,
âno I will not stay out of this, not this time, how can this be happening youâre both grown ups and you should understand each other but you both are acting like childrenâ I yelled and my dad turned to me..
âyou better keep your mouth shuâ
âno dad I will not keep my mouth shut, youâre getting out of hand, youâre acting all nice and all but deep down I know you just want to jeopardize this family, mom tells me everything so donât think I donât know whatâs going on, you think I only know about the divorce? I donât only know about the divorce I also know you have a son who mom didnât birth to, whoâs two years older than me you didnât love mom right from time, you only played her youâ
âhoney calm down its okayâ my mom cut me
âno mom it is not okay none of this is okay I am not a child anymore I will notâ
I got shuted up with a slap from my dad, my mom gasped and I turned aggressively and glared at him..
The slap didnât hurt..but he hurts my pride
âI am so ashamed of you dad, and the woman you impregnated twenty years ago before coming into momâs life, mom doesnât deserve you so just go ahead with the divorce, no oneâs stopping youâ I yelled and he narrowed his eyes at me before saying âIâm not having the divorce anymoreâ my eyes wÂĄden and I said âwhat? What the hell, why?â I asked getting pissed of few days ago I didnât want him to get divorced but now that I want him to get divorce he doesnât want to..
âdonât think Iâm happy about this,the stupid court doesnât want me to, I donât know the hell why, but I know it involved you being my stupid daughterâ he yelled
âI might be stupid dad, but Iâm smarter than youâ I tell him and it looks like he wanted to smack me again but controlled himself
âI donât care if youâre smarter than me, what I know is my family is coming over here tomorrow to live, my real son and my real wifeâ my dad said and I felt like strangling him..
Ever since my mom found out my dad was having an affair it has always been like this with them fighting, not only was he having an affair with some random woman but with a woman he impregnated twenty years ago, before he even Gave birth to me.. Some father!!
My mom just shook her head and said ârot in hell for all I care Gael, they can live here I donât care all I see now is nothing more than my daughter she has a bright future and you donât have to ruin that, you can bring your worldly wh-re Noelle, and your stupid son Benâ my mom said and sniffed sheâs trying to control her tears
My momâs so strong, I love her ,she walked away while I moved some strands of my hair back
âassh-leâ I muttered and was about to walk away when my dad asked
âwhat the hell did you just sayâ my dad asked
âwhy do you care to know?â I snapped âI donât talk to strangers and youâre not my fatherâ I continued angrily
My dad walked up to him and held my neck, and one of his fingers was piercing my chin but I didnât flinch Iâm not afraid of him âI am your father, okay! And you will do what I tell you to do cause I gave birth to you.. You will not talk back at me! Get that! Understood?â he said and I huffed as he letâs go of me
âlike Iâm gonna listen to you go to hell with your rules dad youâre a disgrace to fatherhoodâ I said stormed to my room angrily,
I canât believe my dad, I canât believe any of this, this all bullshit I used love my dad, but not anymore.. I felt like ripping everything around me just because of him, if this is how marriage works then Iâm never getting married..
I glanced at my wall mirror beside my bed and stared at my red neck, and swallowed cheek and a bleeding chin, I sighed and opened my drawer taking out an iodine and cotton wool, I treated my tiny wound under my chin before putting everything back in the drawer, the thought of my father bringing his girlfriend and son is making me go crazy that I felt like smashing my mirror, I even look so much like my dad.. All this is crazy
I glanced at the time and it was only 6:15pm I wish today will just run by quickly, so I can go to school and forget all about this, first I hated the idea of starting a new school but now I just feel like its my safe place for now.. I went to do my laundry and after that, I was going back up to my room when I saw my âdadâ making a phone call
âAn accident? Who the hell had an accââ Noelle?.. Iâll be there right nowâ my dad said into the phone, grabbed his car keys and hurried out.. I quickly closed and locked the door behind him.. Not that Iâm rude but Iâll be pretty happy if Noelle should die..
I went back to my room and starts to read my novel again.. Before finally falling asleep.. Again without even eating
*
I woke up the next morning and felt a strong pain on my head, I opened my drawer and took an ibuprofen, I shoved the medicine in my mouth and chewed it..
I took my bath and brushed my teeth I went downstairs and met my mom getting ready for work, her eyes were puffy and I know she had been crying.. I greeted her and she smiled
âmorning sweetie, just take cereals for breakfast and your allowance is on the table over there and take the bus today, and if Noelle and her son happens to come here before me! Avoid themâ
âdidnât you hear, Noelle had an accident thatâs why dad leftâ I said and my mom gasped..
âwell just take care?â my mom said, k-ssed my forehead and walked outside.. . I grabbed my allowance and shoved it in my jeans pocket, I sighed heavily thinking about âmy stupid lifeâ is all this ever going to change, if my dad hadnât impregnated Noelle none of this could be happening now.. Damn it..
And I donât even feel like taking the bus today, I wish I could be in Lucasâs motorcycle driving in the wind so it can just wash everything off my head that moment, but well Iâm taking the bus.. I switched off the lights and walked out, I place the house keys under the door mat and when I turned Lucas drove his motorcycle in front of my house, something bubbled in me and I smiled a bit, my wish actually came true.. Iâm not taking the bus..
âhey Daisyâ Lucas said waving at me and dropping his helmet..
I came down from the porch and gave him a hug, he seemed surprised by it and I was too.. Well I guess Iâm just happy I am not taking the bus..
EPISODE 5
âokay I donât know what that hug is for, but well I appreciate itâ Lucas said immediately I disengage the hug,
âcan we just goâ I tell him
âyeah.. Sure.. Wait what is thisâ he asked and touched my bruise under my chin, I winced and moved back a bit
âsorry does it hurtsâ he asked
âyeahâ I replied
âwhat happened thereâ he asked again, âwell nothing, letâs just go to schoolâ I said and he nods and let me be, I mean Iâm not dumb enough to tell him my dad did it and then it will end up with me telling him my life story âŚ
He got on his motorcycle and so did I, this time he brought two helmets and I took one..
âokay.. Hold on tightâ he announced while I sighed and placed my hand around his firm wa-ist..
Finally we were both in school I came from from his motorcycle and handed him his helmet ..
âthanksâ I said moving my hair back cause it was a bit rough..
âno problemoâ he said and moved his hair back too..
We both walked to class talking about novels as usual and we saw Sylvester and John
And seriously Sylvester was looking smoking hot. .
âhey manâ Sylvester said and shook hands with Lucas
âhey slyâ he replied and then shook hands with John too..
I gave both of them a small wave and Sylvester smiled at me⌠My phone suddenly rang and I excused my self from them and walked away from them, but not so far from them..
âhey momâ I said into the phone
âhi honey, you were right Noelle had an accidentâ she said
âyeah I heard dad making a phone call last night and he talked about itâ I said and rubbed my forehead, because it was itchy
âwell⌠And also sheâs deadâ my mom said
âwhat?â I half yelled
âIâm surprised as you are hon, but donât worry Iâll give you more details after workâ my mom said and hanged up, I donât know if I should be happy or sad Noelleâs dead but I know Iâm not actually feeling anything in me.. But Iâm sure hell surprise, I just wish for her to be dead last night and she did
I wish for Lucas and his motorcycle and it came true .. Wow do I have like a fairy Godmother or what.. âall this is just coincidence Daisyâ I tell myself and nod I turned swiftly and my head bumped into Lucas chest..
âoh sorryâ he said
âever thought of privacyâ I said sarcastically and started to walk
âsorry the guys left, and I noticed youâve ended your call, so I came right to youâ he said and I just nod lightly.. Not knowing what to say actually
That morning we did biology and physics and then art I really didnât pay attention in class I was just thinking about my dad, Noelle my mom, Noelleâs son, I mean whatâs gonna happen now..
Lucas and I were both eating lunch at the cafeteria when Lorna joined us and sat down right next to me.. She said hi to Lucas and I and we replied and I started to chew my fries little by little..
âso I got to askâ Lorna said with a beamed smile
âask what?â Lucas replied her
âare you two dating?â she asked and I suddenly started to cough and Lucas handed me his bottled water, which I finished the wh0le bottle ..
âare you okay now?â he asked
âyeah, yeah thanksâ I said glanced at him, then at my food.. âso.. â Lorna said staring back and forth at the both of us
âno.. Lorna weâre not datingâ Lucas tells her and she gave him a look..
âI donât believe that, you started hanging out with her since yesterday and you chose to eat lunch with her when you know our tableâs over thereâ she pointed to their table
âand youâre giving her a ride on your bike, when you clearly donât allow anyone to touch itâ Lorna continued and Lucas Gave a nervous laugh
âwhat! I let people touch bike donât be dramaticâ he said and Lorna rolled her eyes
âsince when, cause the day you bought the motorcycle you said youâre not going to let anyone touch it or even ride it with you but now..
âjust go find another place to sit Lornaâ Lucas cut her off and she eyed him and turned to me..
âsee you later Daisyâ Lorna said, stood up and walked away
âsheâs such a talkativeâ Lucas said and I smiled, they laughed
âyeah, she sure doâ I agree and continues eating my food..
After lunch we went to English class, and my stomach was seriously grumbling that I got scared and took an excuse to go to the toilet,
I felt something coming out of me and I quickly rushed to the toilet and puked.. What is wrong with me.. I walked over to the sink and turned faucet, I grabbed a hand full of water from the running water and poured it on my face.. I sighed and breathed in and out slowly,.
I walked out of the bathroom and rubbed my template sighing, I bumped into someone and almost fell down but luckily I was caught when I looked up it was Sylvester
âwoopsy Daisy you okay?â he said with a charming smile and letâs go of my wa-ist..
âyeah, yeah Iâm fine thanks I just felt a little nauseous thanks for asking thoughâ I replied and he nods and smiles âno problem Daisy, you donât actually look okay, but donât worry Iâll walk you to classâ he offered and I didnât hesitate to say no.. I mean why the hell would I say no Iâm not dumb
âsure.. Okayâ I said cutely and he sighed and grabbed my hand and clasped our fingers together and I could swear, my heart almost fell out because heâs a heartthrob ..
As we got close to the class, the Teacher walked out and I sighed, itâs like I just missed a class, Sylvester stood in front of the class and held my hand tightly.. As Lucas walked up to us with my backpack, he glanced at me then at Sylvester, then at our hands and said âwhy are you two holding handsâ
âI had to walk her to class since she wasnât feeling so wellâ Sylvester said
âbut she could have done that also without holding your handsâ Lucas said angrily and I almost gave him a warning look..
âyeah I know but what if she wanted to fallâ Sylvester asked
âwhy the hell would she fallâ Lucas backfired , and I sighed
âgeez.. Sorry Iâm sorry for holding your girlfriend okay!â Sylvester said and letâs go of me.. âsee you later Daisyâ he said to me nicely and glared at Lucas before working out..
âreally? Did you have to do thatâ I tell him and he bowed his head down and stared at the floor and said âIâm sorryâ
âi could have said its okay but I donât know if Sylvesterâs going to⌠You know.. Not stat angry with youâ I said and grabbed my backpack from him..
âso youâre not mad at me?â he asked almost in a whisper
âwhy would I be.. Just try and apologize to Sylvesterâ I said and he nods with a smile
âSly doesnât get angry that easily so I have nothing to worry aboutâ he said and I nod and tucked my hair behind my hair..
During recess Lucas and I sat down together quietly in class, he was drawing while I laid my head on the desk and watched him draw..
âokay, youâre pretty goodâ i complemented him and he smiled and glanced at me and said âthanks, and thatâs a lot coming from youâ
I smiled and continued watching him not knowing when I fell asleep
*
I woke up by the sound of Lucas voice waking me from my deep slumber, I rubbed my eyes and pushed my hair back, Iâve never slept in school before since elementary school and now this is my first time, this is crazy, what is happening to me..
âschoolâs closedâ he whispered to me and I stood up from my seat and looked around for my backpack but he told me itâs already on his motorcycle..
âyouâre going to give me a ride home again, todayâ I asked as we walked out of the class and down the hall
âyeah anything wrongâ
âno itâs okay, I just appreciate it thanksâ I said and he smiled,
As usual he gave me a ride home and I thanked him..
I met my dad at home and
I made my self dinner, I ate it alone in the living room and my dad went to his room, it was like he was crying, good for him..
Just then I heard a knock on the door and I walked over to the door and open it
I saw a boy, brown hair brown eyes.. Oh my god .. Itâs Ben Noelleâs son , even though it has been like ten years since I saw him I can still see my fatherâs goddamned face.. In his.
