UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 41 – 50

” I don’t know.” I shrug.
“You don’t know ?” Mom asks quite mesmerized with my sudden confession.

” Seriously Ariel. So a ghost gave you love bites ?” Leslie chip in and I which I could chop out her gossip mouth. Of course I can’t do that.
“I’m not lying..” of course you’re. My conscience taunts me.”I went out with Alexa and she decides we go party. I got drunk and maybe some random person touched me.” I lie. I almost puke to my lies. A random man seriously.

At least it’s better than saying it’s Gray. My mom’s gonna embarrass me and I don’t want it.
“You were drunk again ? And a random man gave you hickeys ? So you’re now a random whore ?” Mom asks. My heart squeeze to her claims . I’m always hurt when being called whore.
“Ariel, what do you want ?” Dad asks calmly for once.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I was bored at home and I decide to go with Alex. .”
“You know , the first time you got drunk was because of Alexa.

And you woke up with a hangover in a stranger’s bed. And now you went out with her again , clearly you got drunk and fairly touched by a random man. What type of daughter are you ?”

I was quiet for a moment before answering. I just wanna go back to college and hang out with Piper and Brandon.

“I’m sorry mom and dad. I mean it’s weird you guys care about who I hang out with after you both took it out on me after my incident with Freddie.

Why don’t you bother asking if Leslie sleeps around or not or even if she has a boyfriend.” I utter as Leslie scoff.

” Really ? You wanna compare yourself to Leslie ? Ariel , for Christ sake Leslie doesn’t mess around. You had a best friend no one knew about. And you’ve been sneaking around to visit him.

How are we supposed to trust you ? You’re trying to ruin our family by letting your hormones control you to sleep with Freddie when you’re supposed to be taking your vows. What type of daughter are you ?” Mom cautions.

“I don’t want you to think we hate you but, whatever thing you’re doing you’re stopping it with whoever you’re doing it with. We expect good morals from you that’s why we chose to send you to college to get a degree not to have sex.” Dad says.

“Just a little warning. If you ever mess around in college you’re going to millitary school.” Mom adds with her usual unattractive glares.

Millitary school ? I’m tripping.
“Why did you slap Leslie ?” Dad ask the question I’ve been waiting for.
I blink my eyes and look at Leslie who’s scowling at me.” She insulted me and I got angry so I had to slap her.”

“She insulted you huh ? She tried to caution you with your slutty outfit and you called that insult ?” Mom yell not taking her eyes off me.
“Ariel, apologize now. Apologize to your sister.” My head snap to Leslie who’s now leaning her cheek on her fisted elbow.

She smirks and roll her eyes.
“I’m sorry Leslie.” I tell her with sarcasm. I regret it whole time.
“Good. Get ready, you’re confessing to the priest tomorrow about your sins.” Mom declares standing up with her already emptied mug.

“I thought confession comes from the heart ? I can’t even think of a sin that I’ve committed.” I protest.
“You want me to remind you of your sins ? You’re pathetic.” With that said , she walks to the kitchen.

Dad shake his head slowly and walk to the direction of the stairs. Mom walk back and follow her husband upstairs.

“Won a medal yet ?” I ask Leslie as she smirks.
“I will soon.”
“Yeah and I hope you get into some ugly shit soon. You’re just jealous of me. Why can’t you admit it you coward.”

“I’d rather drink urine than be jealous of your ugly ass.” She scoffs. ” How can you be so careless ? Letting a random guy give you hickeys in the first place. You are tripping.” She hisses and stand up, taking her plates off the table as she head to the kitchen.

“Yeah better than your ugly ass, witch.” I grit my teeth and get up with my plates.

After church service the following morning , mom forced me to make a confession. I was angry and hopeless.

Most times I wish I can make my own decisions like every normal adult. But I’m not normal , infact my family is not normal. My mom acts like she’s dad almost every time.

Making the decisions. If she’s allowed she would choose our own major for us at school. I can’t wait till the day Leslie would be caught with her sneaky attitude.

I left the confession booth without making any confessions and go back to meet mom and dad. Dad’s fighting hard to be made deacon again in this new parish. I just hope he doesn’t get it or maybe he should get it so that they would leave my life alone.

Mom made me ask for forgiveness from the statue of Jesus on the cross. I did as instructed and we left. Leslie drove us back to college. The tension between us was thick and you could almost feel it slit your throat.

Music blares from the radio and Leslie keep on nodding and absently dancing to the song.

“So Ariel , learnt your lessons yet ?” She asks not glancing at me. I can’t learn my lessons till I rip out her hair extensions.
