Evelyn's pov
"What the hell did you just say to me?"I gasped in disbelief as tears dropped down my chick, with a loud voice responded.
" I can't believe you would say such a thing to me Dad, but I still will not change my mind. I am moving out and that's final."
My father looked at me with rage in his eyes as he replied,
"Look here I am your father and what I say stands in this family, you are not moving out."
"Are you done? Don't you think it's too late for all this? Because when I needed you and mom the most in my life you guys were nowhere to be found, now as an adult you think you can control my life like you control my mother's life never."
I replied as tears poured down my face.
" How dare you speak to me like I am your father and I have always provided everything you want in life and don't ever bring up your mother in that manner."
My father replied as his voice grew louder which woke my mother from her sleep and she walked into the sitting room where I had a heated argument with my father.
"What in the world is going on here? I heard your voices in my sleep."
My mother asked with a faint voice as she just woke up from her sleep.
"Can you imagine the nonsense Evelyn your daughter was spurring for her mouth?"
" What was it she said?"
My mother asked as she walked closer to my father and me.
"She said she wanted to move to another country to start a new life."
My father explained to my mother
"Why Evelyn, are we not good enough for you anymore? Ever since you were a teenager you have always caused problems and got into fights, you make me feel like a bad mother."
My mother said with tears rolling down her chick.
"Oh Mother stop with all this blackmail, it will not work on me, I want to move out and start a new life in a different country."
"I am done with college and I'm an adult so what is all this for?"
I asked my parents as they stared at me angrily.
"Why all this now if my marriage with James had worked I would have been married by now and in my husband's house now so why is this difficult for you to accept?"
"Oh, I will tell you why, because I will not allow you to move out to a faraway country All by yourself, never I will not allow it."
My father replied to my question.
"Please listen to your father, you are our only female child and we also want the best for you, please listen to your family Evelyn the world is dangerous and I don't want to be alone with no one to look out for you and protect you,"
"Please listen to your father, he is only trying to protect you, Evelyn."My mother continues."We are a family and we should be together, I know you are heartbroken that your relationship with James didn't work but your father and I are here to support you as a family."
" Oh please stop, Mother, I am relocating and that is final. I don't need you and Dad looking out for me, ok am an adult."
I replied to my mom as I walked out of the sitting room into my room.
"Come back here, this discussion isn't over."
My father said as he followed me into my room with my mother right behind him.
" Johnson please take it easy on her, let's understand why she wants to relocate, she just lost her relationship and this might be good for her."
My mother said as they both entered my room.
" What are you saying? I am trying to keep my daughter by my side and you are taking this nonsense,"
"Yeah I know she lost her relationship and that is the major reason she needs her family by her side, and you are taking nonsense?"
My father asked my mother as he shouted at the top of his voice.
"I can't believe you two are arguing again at this point,"
"This is one of the major reasons I want to leave you. The both of you have always fought and argued since I was a child and paid no attention to me."
I said angrily as my voice grew higher.
"You are such an ungrateful child, I worked for years in other states just to put food on the table, and clothes on your back and made sure you attended a private school and this is the thank you, I get?"
My father asked as his rage grew.
"Please take it easy, I am sure she didn't mean it like that."
my mother said with a soft voice trying to calm my father.
"I will tell you and father exactly what I meant,"
"I don't understand why you are acting like a calm mother, because I remember vividly whenever you and father had an issue your voice was always the loudest, why the change?"
"It would have been great if you were calm this way when I was eight."
" Whenever you and Dad had issues I would always be the one to suffer. You would always leave me at the mercy of our former neighbor, a single father with three sons. How insensitive can you be as a mother, Leaving an eight-year-old girl at the mercy of a man and his three sons?"
"I am sorry Evelyn, please forgive me."My mother said with tears rolling down her chick.
"It's a little too late for that now Mother you know why? Don't worry I will tell you because I was r***d continually for two years by the people you trusted me with, for two good years and you didn't notice even when I gave you signs, you are a terrible mother."
"What?"My mother asked as she fell
to the floor and fainted in my room.
