Chapter 5 five

I stood still at the door, I couldn't believe everything I was hearing.

"You have deceived me for so many years, do you think I'm stupid?" my mother screamed.

"Well, these things happen, what did you expect me to do, if my wife didn't even want to see me, I'm not made of iron, getting involved with that girl," my father shouted furiously. I stayed still, listening to everything, wondering which girl they were talking about.

"She is your daughter, why do you have to refer to her like that? She was the best thing that could have happened to you in your miserable life, but why don't you say it? What was the problem? Why don't you accept the truth? I stayed by your side, even knowing that you have more children the same age as our daughter. You're a terrible husband, you're nothing," my mother said. I heard things breaking and decided to enter.

I rushed in, going straight to the kitchen, where my father was about to slap my poor mother.

"STOP!" I shouted.

"Daughter," my mother whispered.

"Enough, dad. You have no right to hit my mother. I didn't know this side of you, but believe me, I am incredibly disappointed. You were the most important man in my life. How am I supposed to see you differently now?"

"Daughter, I'm sorry, I lost control."

"It's not me you should apologize to. I'm going out with Lis, I'll see you later. I hope I come back and don't find my mother dead," I said, looking at my mother silently crying.

I walked straight to my room, locking myself in the bathroom. I took a quick shower, feeling very upset. I felt sad that my family was falling apart and I hadn't even noticed. What kind of daughter am I?

I went to the drawer and searched for some pretty underwear, of course, they were lace and imperial white. I liked things like that. I rummaged through the closet for something to wear and decided on a pretty dress that reached my knees, it was an intense purple color. I found some Converse shoes of the same color but slightly lighter, my star ankle bracelet matched my shoes. I left my hair loose, it was quite long and black.

I walked into the living room when the clock struck seven fifty, just as I stepped on the last step, someone knocked on my door. My mother went to open it, but I rushed ahead, not wanting any questions.

"It's for me, Mom. Don't worry, I'll see you soon," I said as I kissed her cheek.

"Okay, daughter. May God protect and accompany you," she replied, going back to the kitchen.

I opened the door and there he was, very handsome. He was wearing a beautiful black long-sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans, and gorgeous black loafers. A total beauty.

"Hello, you look beautiful," he said, smiling at me.

"You too," I replied, returning the smile.

"I'm beautiful too?" he said, laughing out loud.

I smiled, trying not to laugh. "Shut up, they'll catch us," I said.

"Sorry, let's go," he said, guiding me to his car.

He opened the door for me, like a true gentleman. When he got in, I saw him approaching me. Was he going to kiss me again? I started getting nervous. We were in front of my house, if my father saw us, our luck would be ruined.

"Relax, I'm just buckling your seatbelt. I have to make sure you arrive safe and sound," he said.

"Thank you."
