With no choice whatsoever, I'm now sitting between the twins and eating spaghetti. I twirl the long noodle around my fork and keep staring at it.
"he's an ***" Xavier curses and Xander tells him "I know, right? He keeps talking about his football victories like an arrogant-".
Vincent clears his throat and glares at Xander and Xavier. The twins avoid looking him in the eyes and continue eating their dinner silently. "so, Jessica did you have fun today?" Vincent asks me. I look up at the mention of my name.
Memories of today's events go on in my mind and I smile remembering them. I nod at him "yes. I had so much fun" I tell him enthusiastically.
Happy..
It feels good, just like old times.
But, I... Shouldn't have said that
Vincent smiles at me and says "good", then looks at Liam and they share a smile. "well, I'm glad" Liam tells me grinning.
"right, Vince!" Xander starts speaking getting Vincent's attention. "Ash's parents are out of the city. Me and Xav will be late home tomorrow night.." he trails off. "says who?" Vincent replies raising his eyebrow. "c'mon bro, his parents aren't out every day and it's just this one party".
His parents
What about ours? My mom and dad would never let me go to a party.
I once asked them, mom changed the subject immediately, dad wasn't home at that time. If I ever ask him I assume he'd get so worried, he always was so protective over me.
He used to tell me he cares about me a lot and that he's proud of me, but... Would he be proud now? If by being happy here.. If I make my brothers happy then I'd be breaking our..
Always remember, Jessica
.. Promise
It's for you own good. He said.
Dad isn't proud of me. If he is here, he'd be so disappointed. I failed him.
Someone on my right nudges me with their elbow. I look right and see Xander already staring at me with worry in his eyes.
No. it's probably pity..
"what?" I snap at him not able to control my overwhelming emotions.
"what happened?" Vincent asks me. "Jessi" Liam calls for me. I push the chair. It makes a loud scraping sound. Xavier tries to catch me, but I move away from his grip and run to my bedroom. My hand reaches the doorknob and I close the door behind me. I lean my body on the door and I sob weakly.
I broke the promise.
I sit down. My head starts hurting and my heart is pounding so fast in my chest. "Jessi". My breathing fastens. I close my eyes trying to catch my breath, but I can't.
