They divorced
Ahh yes, this was the part of the year I loved the most, it was Christmas. I only preferred Christmas to my birthday because of one thing... I didn't have to go to school, mainly because its a holiday.
Today's Christmas Eve and Mom and I had already planned on what we're going to do today she suggested that we go to 'Big green superstore' to get the decoration for Christmas tomorrow, I was happy because mum and I never really got to see each other, she was always busy with her work so I spent most of my time with dad.
Oh, who am I kidding?! I never got to see any of MY parents. Mum was a journalist and dad was a politician. So that aside, I was going to have a mother's daughter's day today.
I woke up really early in the morning, had my bath, and wore my favourite sweatpants and a very baggy shirt. I made my hair into two buns and rushed down stairs.
There my meal was being served by my caretaker. I ate to my satisfaction, told her how awesome the dish was and rushed out for a morning walk. Yep, I do that everyday.
I decided to listen to one of my favourite hip pops and I rocked the streets, I could feel glares on me, but baby I didn't give two fucks. When I got tired, I decided to head home, at least I was sure my mum would be up.
"My darling, how are you today?" My mum said putting her hands in her chest "Mamá, morning" I replied. "I see my baby wabby is ready for our shopping, am I right?" She said in a ridiculous voice while pinching my cheeks. "Mamá, that hurts" I pulled away. "She grows up so fast-" "I remember when your mother held you in the arms, when you first came to this world" we looked back to see my dad coming downstairs.
"Yes dad, I've heard that story a 100th time, I really don't wanna hear it" "but have I told you that-" "la la, I'm not hearing .." I sang as I covered my ears heading upstairs leaving the two of them laughing. Gosh were they always like this?
****************************
"Mum, this decoration seems exquisite" I said waving a.... I don't really know what it was but it looked pretty. "Sure sweetie, we'll take it" she smiled at me. Ahh I love this kind of relationship, especially when I knew it didn't last forever. We were pretty much done with everything so we headed to the counter the pay in and leave.
As we walked, suddenly my stomach decided it was the best time to hurt again, it hurt really bad, but after a while it subsided. It had been happening for a while now and i had kinda gotten used to the pain, so I just shrugged it off. When we were done, mum decided we went for lunch to somewhere ' nice and elegant' I obliged since we normally don't do that often and I was more than happy to be in the comfort of my mum.
Soon it was getting late and we headed home, I offloaded the things from the booth, while mum decided to go check up on dad so we could have a family discussion on the plans we had tomorrow. I had just finish packing the stuffs when I went to check on my parents since the took time than usual.
But I wished I hadn't, as I reached the doorway, I saw mum sitting on the floor crying, I then frantically scanned the room for dad when I saw the unbelievable. MY fricking dad was in the room, yes but he was sleeping with a lady that wasn't my MUM! I felt my my body boil as I screamed dad's name "DAD! What the hell are you doing with that woman, your wife's right here?!" I must have gotten his attention because he looked at me, pushing away the lady, who was displeased that she stopped kissing him hungrily "Scarlet out Now!" He yelled. I scoffed, was my dad really serious? "Yeah girl move it!" The lady snapped. Oh. No. She .Didn't. I felt mad and something in me just snapped "listen you bitch" I started "you better keep your mouth shut, I was talking to MY dad so if you don't want me to burn you alive, I'm giving you two seconds to get the hell out of here!!" I screamed at the top of my voice and I wasn't sure if it was my threat or the fact that she was getting bored that she hurriedly grabbed her things and dashed out of the room half naked. I felt really proud of myself, that is until I saw the annoying look on my father's face and I knew I was in big trouble. I sighed as I waited for the inevitable.
"SCARLET!" he bagan, "What the hell is wrong with you?! You saw your mother didn't you? She watched me having the affair, did she throw a fit?!" Then he turned towards my mum, now addressing her "Woman, instil some manners into your daughter! I warn you the next time she tries this YOU will pay for the mistake". I tried to talk back but remained silent, I was only causing more trouble for mum and I didn't want that.
But it ached to see that I didn't have her back, I started to cry angry tears as I headed to my room. Now I wasn't even sure why I was crying, if it was because my mum couldn't stand up for herself or because I couldn't stand up for her?
However, I was shocked at my dad's reaction, I never thought I could see something like that. How was that even possible? My dad loved my mum, they were inseparable yet he did this to her.
"Scarlet honey?" My mum called out to me. "Dear, please open the door" she cried but I didn't reply, I was angry. She stayed there for some minutes before she left.
I woke up at about 2:30 am and was accompanied by a mumbling sound, I just scared at first till I realized it was my tummy making those noises, yup I was starving. I quietly opened the door and tiptoed to the kitchen to grab some leftover pizza,a soda and chicken, then I carefully went back to my room so no one noticed I was out. After that, I tried to sleep but I couldn't, so I just turned on the TV to watch Netflix, and I think I finally dozed off.
********************
Oh my gosh!! Oh my gosh!! Today's Christmas I can't wait. I had my bath, brushed my teeth and hair, wore something comfy and hopped my way happily to the sitting room, singing "Oh merry, oh merry, merry Christmas. Merry Christmas dad, mu- what's going on?" I asked slightly confused as my parents sat on opposite sides of the chair.
I started to have a bad feeling about this, that's when the thoughts of yesterday occured to me, ' could they be- nah' I shrugged the thoughts away, I didn't want to hear what I was thinking.
Both of them stayed quietly still until dad decided to break the silence. I became really nervous "your mum and I have decided that we would like to have a divorce".
I felt a million pieces shattered as I heard this, I mean I knew that was what it would be, yet it hit me like someone had inserted nails onto my chest. Yes maybe it was probably for the best but had they thought about me? I hadn't had the chance to see both my parents and now they were having a divorce?! I felt angry but couldn't do anything about it as tears rolled down my cheeks, it was like I had lost everything, I hated this situation I was in right now.
I pinched myself real hard to make sure this was all a dream, but it wasn't and I really wished it was. I was on the ground thinking, about what precisely? Everything.
"Sweetie, don't cry, it's for the best, you know we don't also want thi-" "I hate you guys!!" I screamed as I ran up the stairs and locked myself in my room.
Few minutes later, I heard the mumbling noise of the car and I knew my dad had left us, I rushed to the balcony to see him leave. It was heartbreaking, he didn't even wish me a ' good bye'. I cried my eyes out, we never really had problems, we lived like happy families when they were with me, but now... I can't really say so.
How could my parent be so heartless, bitter, be so cruel?!! I resented them both, they never really cared for me, they just cared for themselves.
So much for a Happy Christmas
