Here's the 8th chapter. I've put up a banner which displays art by my best friend, Jovana. <3
Also, I found a song which matched perfectly with the story, so is now the story's theme song. It's by the Cliks and is called 'Different Girl.' You can find it on their website here. You'll have to go to the cliks part of the site and scoll down a bit to get it. :3
Well, Here's the chappie! <3
Alone
Chapter 8
I sat on the sofa, nervous as ever. The clock ticked away in my ear, nearly driving me to insanity. This wasn't like me at all, but I still sat nervously, awaiting my doom.
DING-DONG!
The door bell rang. To most, it would be just another sound which made them go to the door, but to me, it was ear chilling sound that commanded me to open the door to face my past. I walked slowly to the door, and turned the knob slowly.
"Hello Alexis! Oh my, you've grown so much!" My cheery mother exclaimed, which made chills run down my back.
"Hello mother." I said in cold, bitter tone.
"Well, I arranged for us to go to a fancy french resturaunt. My boyfriend, of should I say, Fiancee, will be meeting us there."
"Alright..." I replied unsurely, surprised my mom was already getting remarried.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" My mother excitedly stated, nearly pulling me out of the door to her car.
As I sat in the passengers seat of the car, I felt uncomfortable. When I was younger I always enjoyed going out with my mother, but now was a different story. I dreaded this moment, and hoped to god she wouldn't start a convesation. I didn't want any part of the new me to be known to her, because she still thought I was the happy little girl who was just as cheery as her. Deep down, I didn't want her to be dissapointed.
"So honey, how's school?" She questioned, shattering my hopes of haveing no conversation whatsoever.
"It's... alright." I answered, trying not to lie too much, but for her not to catch on to the fact that I hated school and was suspended from it.
"Oh really? I got a phone call saying you were suspended." She stated, a dissapinted tone echoing from her lips.
"Well, I am..."
"Oh. Well, we're her now!"
I slowly stepped out of the car. She knew I was suspended already, but I couldn't let her know about my new attitude. I followed her into the resturaunt, and was escorted by a waitor to our reserved table. Sitting there already was a man I recognised to be my mother's boyfriend/
"Hello Alexis!" He greeted, almost as cheerily as my mother.
"Hey."
"How are you on this fine day?"
"Okay." I replied, trying not to talk too much. This guy irratated me so much, because he was one of the things which pulled my family apart.
"Did you order yet?" My mother asked her boyfriend.
"Oh, yes I did. I ordered both of your faveourites, and don't worry Alexis, your mom told me what you liked." He replied, disgusting me at the fact that he didn't even give me a choice.
"Alexis dear, how if that father of yours? Still drunk off his a**?" My mother questioned.
"Same as always... I guess..." I answered, noting how she referd to him as my father, and not her ex-husband.
"That man was not worth your time." the man stated, directing the sttement at my mother.
"I know, because your soo much better."
"Oh, but of course! That dreadful man gave you nothing, except maybe Alexis here." He replied, which caused my to hate him even more as he and my mother talked behind my fathers back. No matter how much I didn't like my father, he did take care of me which my mother failed to do.
"Oh, Alexis dear, I almost forgot you were here. Sorry to not include you in the conversation. So how's you life going?" My mother interrogated, making my hatred to her grow.
"Fine."
"I heard you were suspended, why did something like that happen to you? Don't tell me you beat someone up, because then you'd be a worthless delinquient like your father. What a vile man." The man stated, causing rage to grow in me.
I sat there, staring at the two of them, disgusted and angry, rage boiling within me. I had to let it out, so I opened my mouth and yelled.
"You know what? I did beat someone up. Two people actually! And guess what, I don't care if I'm a ******** dilinquient!" I screamed, attracting the attention of the other customers.
"Honey..." My mother said, her voice almost a whisper.
"Don't honey me! And don't talk about my father like that, even if he's always drunk! He actually took care of me, which you failed to do. You just left me there with him, and now you expect me to be all happy when you just suddenly come? Well you know what? I'm not happy! I'm disgusted at you both!"
"Don't talk to your mother like that!" My mothers boyfriend yelled, attempting to get me to shut up.
"I can talk to her however I like! And you know what? She's not even my mother anymore! She's just some women who left me without even saying goodbye!" I screamed, a tear escaping my eye. I turned, and ran out the door as the tears started streaming down my face.
