Skipping school for days was something new to me. I lived in a house with a mother who was still mad at every person in her life. I haven't seen her face in days. Mr Miller comes around, tries his best to get her out of the room and she never obeys to him.
Evening time here; Mr Miller came in, went in to her room and I heard them arguing. This was suffocating for the man. I was sure he would give up eventually.
I was licking my ice cream, watching the soap opera playing but I had my ears on them. "This doesn't make any sense to me Violet," he still calls her Violet. "I am begging you to stop this nonsense."
Mr Chris Brady, the man I hate the most in my life now didn't just break our family apart. He broke my mom's world apart and he is not sorry. Thinking of him got me angry. I turned the tv off and walked to my room. I laid down on my bed and picked up my phone. The messages from the group chat my friends created popped up with messages.
•Friends❤️• Cece: Why don't we all hangout on the weekend? It won't be bad. Layla: I will think about it Grace: I'm in. Bored here😑 Cece: Ava, Justin keeps begging us to talk to you. Ava: .... Grace: Cece! Aiden warned you! Cece: I really don't care. I just want to see where this goes. Will you kick his ass or take him back? Ava: I don't need him Layla: PERIODT!! He's a fucking jerk!! Grace: 😬
I put down the phone and sighed. What the fuck does he want from me? He really thinks I'm going to take him back? Stupid motherfucker. I hate guys in general now. Everyone sucks including my step brother. My phone rung and I picked it up. Chase was calling again. I didn't answer his call and he sent a text afterwards.
•Chase• I'm here again. Can we just talk? Let me see you Ava. Please!!
I rolled my eyes and put the phone down. Laying down idle made me fall asleep.
Waking up the next day, I made up my mind to skip school again and it was the best decision I've been making for a while. I spent my day in bed, playing video games on my phone. Mid afternoon, I heard people come into the house. I ran to my door and opened it up. Mr Nathaniel and Mrs Cheryl were in to see my mom. Mr Miller was with them but he stayed back in the living room and watched them go see her. He slammed his face and sat down in the couch.
I stepped out of the room and he looked back at me. "Hey Ava," he said. "Skipped school again?"
"You knew?"
"Yeah," he laughed. I walked to him and sat away from him. "Promise to start going next week?"
"I promise." I smiled. "So uh... has she been okay?"
