BEAUTY BEHIND THE MASK

THE CONTRACT IS UP

Two weeks later I’m sitting in my fathers company’s office with Gavin and the lawyers so we could finally break down and destroy these contracts and I was so damn happy about it.

‘Can we get this finally over with I have meetings  to attend?’-Gavin asked not even paying attention at me or the other people in this office ,and what a fu*king douche he and my sister deserve each other.

‘Yes we are going to be done with this in  15 minutes.’- said my father looking at the both of us.

After these damn 15 minutes passed and Gavin left the office with his lawyer behind him my father asked my lawyer to leave us alone and closed the door behind him.

‘What do you want father?’

‘You can come back home now.’-he says looking at me.

‘Ah…. NO!’

‘ No, why not?’-he was now getting mad at me.

‘Because I am not a toy you can all play with father!, I was married to a man for 7 moths, lived all alone and he was out doing whatever he damn well pleased with whomever he pleased. I was forced into this because of your damn business deal, you sold me for business. You ruined a year of my life to get this business deal and now you want me back home so you and mother can both control my life again. NO THANKS!’- I say yelling, mad at him.

‘If you don’t come back home, I’ll cut you off, you won’t even have a penny!’-he said back equally angry.

‘Do I look like I fu*king care about your money, check the bank account you opened for me all the money you put there in the past 4 years is still there, oh and you can keep it all I don’t need anything from any of you. I’m finally free to live my life by my choices not the ones you or mother made for me.’

‘You are gonna fail!’- he says so certain of himself and  looking at me like I was some thrash on the street.

‘I know, but I’ll get up again and continue walking, oh and just so you know. Gavin and Diana are getting married in 3 months, they’ve been together for a year already, and she is pregnant with his child. Hope she is still your golden child.’- I say this last thing to his face before walking out of his office, slamming his door shut and getting back home to my apartment.

My lawyer called me to tell me that the court allowed for me to change my last name, so from now on I was Larissa DeVita just like my grandma. She was the only person that mattered to me from my family but she was gone and I was alone…..

NO!……. HELL NO! ,…. I wasn’t alone I had my crazy friends with me and I was okay.

                                          ........................................................................................

It was Monday and I had quit at the bakery, I had my whole apartment packed up and all my things were already shipped to my grandma’s house in LA that she had, thank god the house was on my name since I was 10, it was mine I was the owner of it now and I could move into it. It was kindda onto the bigger side, it had a pool and it was in a beautiful neighborhood and I loved it.

My parents contacted me over the weekend asking me to go back home, but I ignored all of their calls and I just left the phone into the apartment that my father owned, I had another phone that I had been using for the past 5 months anyways and they didn’t have that number so I just wanted to make a clean cut, lave them all behind and live my life like I wanted to and  do what I wanted to without my parents standing over my head yelling at me and calling me a disappointment and a disgrace to their family.

So I saw the girls and bid them farewell but it was only the beginning of May, their semester was coming to and end and they’ll come visit me in LA over the summer. I also contacted the band from San Diego and we decided to do a summer gig and we planed it all. I was in San Diego on student exchange when I was 15 and I met all of these wonderful people and we all 7 of us ended up in a band together that we named “LAZY CRAZY” we had a few covers of songs posted on YouTube and a lot of people loved it and were asking us for more so starting this summer they were getting it.

I was so happy that this was finally happening, one of the boys in the band had a bar/pub so we could sing live there and I had a soundproofed room in my house in LA where we could sing and do covers and post them on YouTube and I couldn’t wait to get started.

My flight was okay, I slept for most of it to be honest but once I got home I was so exhausted that I just locked up, showered and went to bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
