Indignation
DAMIEN:
I drove long hours to the suburbs of town, and ended up renting an inn there to stay the night. I had planned to go to a five star hotel initially, but I changed my mind and remained at the nature peaceful inn.
When my phone popped an email notification, I hurriedly checked it to see what it was about, but was quickly disappointed when I realized that it wasn’t what I wanted. I was looking for my mum, and I heard she moved to the Czech republic. It had been fifteen years since she left, and it was hard for me to act like I didn’t care.
Though I still resented her strongly for leaving in that manner, I wanted to know that she was doing well at least. Ever since she married dad, he was usually verbally abusive, and sometimes physically to her. She couldn’t handle it after four years and left alone, after he said that she could never take me with her.
We moved almost immediately after she left, which would have made it harder for her to trace us even if she wanted to. Dad had quite a number of girlfriends later on, but they all ended up leaving which he didn’t care about.
Sometimes, it usually bothered me that I was going to be like him anytime I looked into the mirror. I was already a mess at a young age, because even most of the girls that wanted to date me loved me for my money. And his words did more damage to me.
He had never supported anything I ever wanted, and demeaned me at every chance he got. Being a top student in middle school couldn’t cut it no matter how I tried to please him, and I ended up giving up on everything when we moved again.
Ryder’s high made me fast popular, and I was loved by many people. I had the money access, good looks and was good at sports. It was everything I needed for the attention to be at full pace.
I became friends with Xavier and Bryan afterwards because they were almost like me, and we made the best clique in school. I was rude and bossy too, which put fear in people and intimidated them wherever I was around.
Bryan was the craziest of us, and he usually beat up people who messed with him. It no longer mattered who did the bullying anymore, because we all moved as a group and it would be tagged with all of us.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Dad got more disappointed beyond anything he could explain when he saw my results, and he almost lost his mind that he hit me regarding my failure. I didn’t mind anymore or give a damn about school or reading. I wasn’t going to let him make me think the worst of my life again. I was a jerk already.
However, when he told me that he was getting married when I was on holiday with his own mother, I was so shocked because I never expected such to happen in his life anymore. But he actually did, and it got me anxious for whoever she was that got married to him.
The marriage was barely a month, and I was honestly waiting for it to crash because dad had no good charisma to manage a woman, or child, talkless of a family.
Seeing that it was the mother to a girl in my school, made me really mad and insecure too. I couldn’t afford to even let my friends know my behind the scenes reality, but there was no way she wouldn’t know.
The brief honeymoon vacation trip was like a peace check to not seeing the ugly truth of our family, but I had to instill fear in Dabby before they would come back.
I knew making them leave wasn’t going to be easy, so the least I could do was make sure she wouldn’t run her mouth. I couldn’t afford to be humiliated with just a few months left to leave highschool with the top-notch respect I received.
But what dad did at the dining during lunch, made me realize that nothing was going as planned. It put me in a spot, and made me pick full pace of suffocation against Dabby, knowing that she had a stupid friend that she told everything to.
I drove long miles from the inn to school on Monday morning, and everything was normal because no one knew. Only Dabby knew, and I was going to put her in a tight spot that would make her fear me so much.
Immediately I saw her approaching, it was weird to see her without her glasses which made it almost difficult to recognize her instantly. I shoved her off the way so brutally and she fell.
My actions would make her fear my existence so much that she wouldn’t be able to utter anything, that went on in our family to anyone. No even to her dumb friend.
