647 Words
Dian stood in front of her house. she just couldn't call it a home anymore. It was once a home when she, her father and her mother lived in happiness. It was once a home when there were peace and harmony. But now it could no longer be called a home.
She could hear her father shouting at her mother.
Teardrops fell from her beautiful eyes. She wished her home could be like it was before but maybe it was all wishful thinking. She rushed into the house and saw Flora George, her mother on the cold floor crying her eyes out and her dad downing a bottle of Whiskey. Just one look and you would know he was dead drunk.
"mom, mom what's wrong" she asked her mother. Her heart was breaking into a million pieces just watching her mother crying like that.
" Dian, my baby it's nothing. how was school?" her mother replied, wiping her tears.
" mom, how can you tell me it's nothing" Dian asked her mother and walked to her father. She pointed her finger at him and asked " What did you do to her now. Aren't you tired of causing us pain, haven't you caused us enough pain"
" Dian don't talk to your father like that" Flora shouted at her daughter
" He's not my father if he keeps on hurting you" Dian shouted back at her mother
" Dian my girl go to your room and freshen up ok" Joe, her father told her
" Don't talk as if you care about me, you are not fit to be a good husband talk more of being a father"
'paaaah' the sound of a slap was heard through the room. Flora stared at her shaking hand as she dropped it.
Dian held her swollen cheek as hot tears dropped from her eyes. She glared at her mother and ran upstairs
" Dian, Dian I'm sorry" her mom chased after her
" Dian my girl, please wait" her dad followed suit
Dian entered her room and locked her door. she leaned against the door and burst into tears. The door was threatening to break down from the hard knocking from her parents but she could care less.
She brought out her phone and texted Eve " Care to go out"
" Everything alright?" Eve texted back
" Need to cool my head, I am really freaking out here" Dian replied
" Dian, is it your parents again?"
" Eve please not now, let's meet at our usual place"
" See you there babe, love you"
Dian put her phone into her pocket and tiptoed to the window, tied clothes together to make a rope and used it to jump out of the window. She boarded a bike to Phizza's, her and Eve's favorite bar.
She saw Eve already waiting for her when she dropped.
" Babe, did you actually fly?" Dian asked Eve. Eve rolled her eyes at her best friend's ridiculous question. As if she didn't know she had lots of cars at her disposal.
Actually Dian's family may be middle class but Eve's family is one of the richest in Jameson city. One of the many reasons why Dian love her best friend is because although she is from a wealthy family, she is not like those spoilt brats who doesn't know anything than to waste their family wealth and show off.
" sweetheart, i didn't just fly, I teleported" Eve replied her friend
" Babe, when did you change to a vampire"
" 2 seconds ago, want me to teach you how" Eve raised her left eyebrow and leaned to her friend with a mischievous smile
" Evelyn James do you have a death wish"
" Gosh, you are so boring" Eve pouted her thin lips
Dian smiled at her friend's childishness and dragging her inside.
