Familiar Attraction

I loved my family. I adored my family. My family was overbearing sometimes, well most times actually. The desire to mould me way they deemed fit was to strong for them to let go and so I had to let go. I had to leave for a while to clear my head and find myself. I had to start making decisions for myself and live a life solely on my choices. The freedom was amazing , I loved every single moment of it. I welcomed my mistakes and victories with opened arms . I was alive for the first time in 23 years and God was I living my best life. But as most wise people say, “Every good thing must come to its end eventually”. I was called back home for honestly no viable reason at all if you ask me. Mother felt lonely and needed company, that was all the reason I got. What about me the though? I mean I had a life here. Apparently no one gave a f**k, what mother wanted, mother got and right now mother wanted me home. So here I am, back to the very place I tried so hard to run away from, sulking and keeping a straight face at the dinner table with everyone going about their dinner like everything was okay. I guess it was okay for them but definitely it for me. No one even cares to ask how my life was back in the city, it was like I hadn’t left in the first place. I needed some air and a smoke too, well that was one habit I picked up on my journey to independence and I wasn’t ashamed of it bad habit or not, smoking helped me relieve stress and right now I had some stress in need of relieving. Excusing myself for the dinner table with no one paying heed and stepped out to the front pouch of my family home and walked down to the community park to help cover my tracks. I found a really cool spot and got my situated with nothing but my smoke, the cool evening breeze and serenity keeping me company. At least that was what I thought....... “ look who we have here, the prodigal Child” someone said startling me for I honestly thought I was all alone and trust me I knew who that voice belong to. It was Adam’s. My childhood nemesis and from the looks of it still my nemesis. “Hey Adam” I said showing no interest in starting a conversation and honestly willing him to leave, but as always I was unlucky at getting the things I wanted because he sat down right next to me and just stared at me , quite intensely I might add. “What are you staring at? You know I hate it when people do that” I said irritated “I’m sorry love, I just in total awe. You honestly haven’t changed a bit. Still unattractive as f**k and look at you taking up smoking trying at act all cool and s**t, wow.....just wow” he said “f**k you Adam, f**k you very much” I said “ you’re still the small annoying asshole as you’ve always been, hiding behind your stupid comments trying to make everyone around you insecure, new flash you don’t get to me anymore, so grow up because everyone has , everyone but you obviously” I said shouting more than I wanted too using the opportunity to venting out my anger from parents to this very moment with the very i***t sitting right next to me. I waited for a comeback as always but got none, so I looked at Adam and found him staring into nothing with a serious look in his face. Was I that harsh on him? I almost felt bad but this was Adam and he needed a reality check. “I can’t say it was nice catching up with you, because it wasn’t. Honestly I hope not to see you soon or anytime ever in foreseeable future. Good bye Adam” I said tossing my cigarette away and getting up from my sitting position. It was already dark out and I needed to leave. Adam was still staring into nothingness oblivious to what I said. Well, I guess that hurt. I walked out the park, not for once looking back with some sort of confidence ready to get an explanation from my parents. If I was going to be pulled back here, I should at least get a reasonable reason as to why. First story ever. Have no idea where it’s headed. If the feedbacks are positive I might give this a try. If not, guess I’ll just stick to reading than writing. I would appreciate your thoughts as well as suggestions
