My Prom Date

IX

"Okay dad, I need to tell you something." I said.

My dad and brother sat on the couch looking at me intently.

"Terrancejamesismyboyfriendandhestakingmetobothofourproms." I rushed.

"Sweetie slow down." He said.

"Terrance James is my boyfriend and he's taking me to both of our proms." I repeated.

"You're joking right?" Aydin said. "Because that is a sick joke."

"Aryn you can't be serious." Aydin said again.

My dad was just quiet looking at the floor.

Aydin was saying something but I didn't listen.

I was focusing on my dad and his reaction.

His face was hard to read.

"Dad?" I said interrupting Aydin's rant.

My dad looked at me, stood up and walked upstairs.

I looked down at my hands. Tears swelled in my eyes.

"You deserve this. You can't expect us to just let this go. He is my enemy Aryn. You can't possibly believe us t-"

"I never asked what you thought Aydin!" I screamed

"I don't give a flying fuck what you think about me!" I exclaimed not caring that my mom was hearing this.

"You never cared about who I date. You never cared who I hang out with! You never cared who I talk to! You never cared Aydin! You don't have a right to tell me who to date and who not to! You only care because you think he is your rival. But in reality he is so much of a better person than you!" I yelled at him tears streaming down my face.

I grabbed my stuff and headed for the door.

"Aryn where are you going?" My mom asked me.

"To clear my head." I said grabbing my keys and jacket.

"Don't run away from your problems like you always do." Aydin rolled his eyes.

I didn't even look at him, I just flipped him off.

I got on my car and drove to the park down the street of my house.

It was about 9:45 when I got to the park and no one was there.

Honestly if I was in my right mind I'd think it was creepy.

I just sat in my car and cried.

I decided to text Shane letting her know I'd be coming over later on and things weren't too good with my brother.

After I calmed down and my breaths were under control it was quiet. Not a creepy quiet but a calm and peaceful quiet.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and it scared me.

I looked at the caller and answered it immediately.

"Hey are you okay? Mom just called me and told me what Aydin said."

Thinking of Aydins dick-ish word made me cry again.

"Ax, I told dad what happened, and I knew he would be mad but he looked at me as if he didn't know me. And his silence said it all!" I sobbed into the phone.

"Hey, hey. It's okay, dad was probably just shocked that's all. Remember the time the crazy chick said she was pregnant with my kid?" He asked.

"No! When the hell did that happen?!" I exclaimed.
