Chapter 4 No.4

I jump up and stare at her, placing a hand on my chest.

"No but go ahead, shout louder!" I said sarcastically glaring at him

"Sorry, but it's just that you weren't listening to me and...

-Yes, I wasn't listening to you and I don't want to. No, but do you realize what you just told me? Have you completely lost your mind or what?

-Emy...

-NO!" I cut her off, yelling. "I thought you had cut off all contact with them, so why are they coming here tonight? Eh ? Why ?"

She lowers her head without answering me, which has the gift of annoying me even more.

I really didn't want to see them after what they did to me. I don't even know what I'll do when they're in front of me.

Ignore them? Hit them? Kill them ? Or just ask them why they didn't believe me and why they were happy for Eric and Melina's wedding while I was rotting like shit in prison?

Yeah, that's what I can't figure out. Not only did they accuse me of "murderer" without proof and without even giving me time to prove that I was innocent, but they also attended my ex-fiancé's wedding party.

Seriously ? What kind of parents are they? How can they do this to their own daughter? Their flesh? Their blood? How ?

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I can't hear my grandmother who has been talking to me for a while now, waving her arms in all directions.

"Emily! I've been talking in the air for ten minutes and you know damn well I hate it! Get a hold of yourself girl!

- It's rather you who should pull yourself together, Grandma.

-I know you're not happy that your parents are coming but"... She said without continuing her sentence

She really pisses me off leaving her sentences hanging. No, but it's not difficult to finish a sentence!

"But ?" I repeated annoyed.

"But they told me they have something really important to tell me and that's why I agreed to let them come here tonight."

Something important ? Interesting !

"Do you know what this is about?

-No, your mother didn't want to tell me on the phone, she wanted to tell me face to face.

"Did she call you?" I asked.

"Yes." She answered me

"When ?

-An hour ago. Please Emily, don't blame me, I just wanted to know what she had important to tell me, that's why I agreed to her and your father coming here. If it was for something else, I would have refused. I beg your pardon."

My heart sinks when I see her lower her head as if she had just done something stupid. It's more up to me to apologize and not to her. It was me who did the wrong thing.

"No, don't worry Grandma. I'm the one who should apologize for getting carried away." I say taking her in my arms

"Aren't you mad?

-No more now. I'm so sorry I got carried away grandma. But I have a question.

-Yes ? Tell me.

-Do you think it's a good idea that they see me here? They won't try to convince you to kick me out?

"Don't worry sweetie, I'll never kick you out, you have my word."

She takes my face in her two hands before giving me a kiss on the forehead. I feel so good with her, the only one who has been there for me.

"What time are they arriving?

-At 20 hours. You have plenty of time to prepare."

I nod my head and go up to my room. I then head to the bathroom to take a cold shower because I really needed it after this long hard day. If my parents come here, it's really very important.

I get out of the shower and check the time on my phone. I put on a simple dress and put on light makeup before going down to the kitchen where my grandmother was dressed in a red dress that suited her perfectly!

"Wow grandma! You look beautiful!" I exclaimed

She smiles at me and walks over to me before stroking my cheek.

"You too Emily. You look so beautiful in that dress.

-Thank you grandma.

-You're welcome my dear. Can you help me lay the cutlery?

-Sure !

I help him put the cutlery and when everything is ready, we head to the living room while waiting for these two imbeciles who serve as my parents to arrive.

I wonder how they would react when they see me. Would they be shocked? Angry? Disgusted? Or happy? Pff, I'm sure they will pull the face.

When I watched my grandmother wiggle her fingers, I knew something was wrong. She seemed extremely nervous, which is quite rare coming from her. But why is she so stressed?

"Are you okay grandma? I see something's bothering you? What's going on?"

She gives me a forced smile before answering me.

"It's just, I'm very nervous. I wonder what they have to say and it must be really important because they come here. They only come to my house when it's urgent. I I have a bad feeling."

Me too by the way.

"Don't worry Grandma. Everything will be fine. I'm here." I said trying to calm her down.

But it's my turn to stress when I hear the doorbell ring.

My grandmother gets up to open the door and I already feel my legs shaking when I hear this voice that I hadn't heard for five long years.

"Are you letting us in?" Said a female voice that I recognized immediately.

My mother".

"Are you letting us in?"

My grandmother pushes herself slightly to let my "parents" pass.

I freeze when I see them. Five years that I have not seen their faces! Five years I've waited for them to come and visit me in prison! Five years that I have suffered from their absence!

When my mother finally notices me, her eyes immediately fill with anger and contempt. I smile at her to annoy her and I think it's successful considering the way she clenches her fists.

I'm glad you're here too.

I thought

"Maria! What is that idiot doing here?"

She yelled at my grandmother

Granny flashes my mother and opens her mouth to yell at her but I cut her off immediately.

"Good evening. I too am very happy to see you again after five long years. You haven't changed at all. Still so stupid, arrogant, immature and hungry for money. Do you want a coffee? A tea? With or without sugar Or maybe milk? Or chocolate? I said sarcastically giving him a triumphant smile

She turns red with anger and glares at me, clenching her fists. If she had horns on her head and smoke coming out of her nostrils, she would be the perfect copy of the devil!

"That's enough !" yelled my grandmother.

"Maria, what is this whore doing here?" Asked my "mother" again

"She lives here and if you're not happy and you're against it, just get out of my house, my door is wide open! I can even hold the wrist for you!" yelled my grandmother

My "parents" are throwing lightning bolts at me that I didn't know. I wanted to insult them and hit them, but seeing granny's glare, I immediately changed my mind.

However, an idea comes to my mind and I believe that this evening will go wonderfully finally.
