<b>Chapter </b><b>69 </b>
<b><i>ra’s </i></b><i>POV</i><b>: </b>
My eyes bulged, what the hell was going on! My father hadn’t cared about where I stayed since kicking me out during Christmas break of 2021. I didn’t want to tell him my ns, but I needed to figure out how to get out of this.
“Father, with all <i>due </i><i>respect</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>told </i>me to <i>leave </i><i>this </i><i>house </i>in <i>2021 </i><i>and </i><i>I-</i><i>” </i>
“I’ve changed <i>my </i>mind<i>! </i><i>This isn’t </i><i>something </i><i>you </i><i>will </i><i>be </i><i>making </i><i>a </i><i>big </i><i>deal </i><i>about</i><i>! </i><i>You </i><i>will </i><i>move </i><i>back </i><i>home</i>, <i>and </i><i>you </i><i>will </i>attend <i>tonight’s </i><i>g</i><i>! </i><i>We’re </i><i>celebrating </i><i>your </i><i>sister’s </i><i>graduation</i>.<i>” </i>
Of course.
So that’s the reason he wants me here, so he can lie about us all being one big happy family. No thanks. I looked at my father as if he had three heads, it dawned on me at that moment, not only was I not a part of this family, but I was grown. With a slight smile, I began to leave.
<i>“</i>ra! <i>Did </i><i>you </i><i>hear </i><i>what </i><i>I </i><i>said</i><i>!!</i><i>” </i>
“I <i>heard </i><i>you </i><i>father</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>in </i><i>case </i><i>you </i><i>didn’t </i><i>remember </i><i>my </i><i>age</i><i>, </i><i>I’m over </i><i>18 </i><i>years </i><i>old</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>no </i><i>longer </i><i>need </i><i>your </i><i>permission </i><i>to </i><ie </i><i>and </i><i>go</i>.”
My father looked at me as if a circuit was about to blow. Suddenly, Anna stood up with her usual fake concern and crocodile tears.
“ra! I don’t <i>understand </i><i>your </i><i>hostility</i><i>. </i><i>Your </i><i>father just </i><i>wants </i><i>you </i>toe <i>home</i>. <i>Why </i><i>are </i>you being so difficult<i>?</i><i>” </i>
I almostughed, in hindsight, Sophie had it honestly. Without answering I turned to walk away. My father and Anna followed me out the room.
<i>“</i>You little brat<i>! </i>What do <i>you </i><i>have </i>without me! <i>One </i><i>word</i>! One word and I’ll have you kicked out of Lexington<i>! </i><i>Do </i>you think your so–called <i>friends </i>will care about you then?”
I took another look at my pathetic father. Of course he would say something crass like that. Without missing a step, I continued towards the door. Suddenly, I could feel my arm getting yanked back.
<i>“</i><i>Who </i>do <i>you </i>think you are<i>!</i>”
I was over this charade. I pulled my arm away from my father, turning to look at him. There
was a time in my previous life when I wanted nothing more than for this man to acknowledge me. But now, now all I could feel was disgust for the man I once loved more than anything.
<i>“</i><i>You </i><i>can </i><i>do </i><i>whatever </i><i>you </i><i>want </i><i>father</i><i>, </i><i>regardless</i>, <i>I’m </i><i>leaving</i>. <i>I </i><i>will </i>not <i>be </i><i>at </i><i>that </i><i>party </i><i>tonight</i>, <i>in </i><i>the </i><i>five </i><i>years </i><i>you’ve </i><i>celebrated </i><i>your </i><i>precious </i><i>Sophie</i><i>, </i><i>you’ve </i><i>never </i>wanted <i>me </i><i>there</i><i>. </i>Let’s <i>not </i><i>change </i><i>traditions</i><i>.</i>”
Jameson looked at me as if he were chewing nails. I’d never spoken to him like this way in any
of my lives. Suddenly, his eyes darkened as he realized something. Walking closer to me his
voice sneered.
“<i>What’s </i><i>your </i><i>rtionship </i><i>with </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor</i>.<i>” </i>
What?
Why was he asking about him? Had he found out about Osha? No, that’s not likely seeing as to how he just threatened to have my removed from LexU. Giving my father a puzzled look, I shook my head in confusion.
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>no </i><i>idea </i><i>what </i><i>you’re </i><i>talking </i><i>about</i>. <i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>even </i><i>know </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>believe </i><i>you</i><i>! </i><i>Now </i><i>tell </i><i>me </i><i>the </i><i>truth</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
What was going on? Why is he so fixated on Taylor?
“<i>Father</i><i>, </i><i>I’m </i><i>not </i><i>sure </i><i>what </i><i>you’re going </i><i>through </i><i>but </i><i>I don’t know </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor</i><i>. </i><i>Now </i><i>if </i><i>you’ll </i><i>excuse </i><i>me</i>, <i>I’m </i><i>on </i>a <i>bit </i>of <i>time </i><i>clock </i><i>here</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
As I was about to walk out, Sophie and Jason walked in.
Great.
Sophie came barging in with this fake look of happiness to see me while Jason looked like I was about to perform a root canal on him.
“<i>Sister</i>! I’m so d <i>you’re </i>here<i>!</i><i>” </i>
She threw her hands up in the air as if she wanted a hug. I moved to the left before she could touch me. With a slight look of being startled, she smiled again.
“Oh, <i>ra</i><i>, </i><i>since </i>your home you’ll <i>have </i>to <ie </i><i>to my </i>graduation g<i>! </i>I’m <i>sure </i><i>I </i><i>have </i>a <i>dress </i><i>you </i>
<i>can–</i>”
“No <i>need</i><i>. </i>I <i>won’t </i><i>be </i><i>attending</i>.”

As Sophie’s eyes began to water, I turned around to make my way towards the door once more. Suddenly Jason called out in a disgusted tone.
“<i>Ugh</i><i>, </i><i>do </i><i>you </i><i>always </i><i>have </i>to <i>be </i><i>petty </i>and <i>make </i><i>everyone </i><i>around </i><i>you </i><i>miserable</i><i>! </i><i>Sophie </i><i>is </i><i>just </i><i>trying </i><i>to </i><i>be </i>nice<i>!</i><i>” </i>
Iughed out loud at Jason, did he even care how ridiculous he sounded? <fnf543> For more chapters visit find~novel</fnf543>
<i>“</i><i>Jason </i>as always you vex me<i>. </i><i>If </i>I <i>make </i><i>you </i><i>all </i><i>miserable </i><i>why </i><i>would </i><i>you </i><i>want </i><i>me </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>around </i>
you?”
Jason scuffed, a smug expression on his face.
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>want </i><i>you </i><i>around</i>. <i>But </i><i>because </i><i>Sophie </i><i>has </i><i>such </i><i>a </i><i>pure </i><i>heart</i><i>, </i><i>even </i><i>when </i><i>you </i><i>act </i><i>like </i><i>this</i>,
<i>she </i><i>still </i><i>wants </i><i>you </i><i>around</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
HAHAHAHAHA<i>!!! </i>
I couldn’t help butugh hysterically! Sophie had a pure heart. After regaining myposure, I looked Jason dead in the eyes.
<i>“</i><i>Jason</i><i>, </i><i>exactly </i><i>how </i><i>many </i><i>pure </i><i>women </i><i>sleep </i><i>with their </i><i>sister’s fiancé</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
My question caught everyone off guard. Instant panic surged onto the faces of Sophie, Anna, and Jason while confusion was stered on my father’s. Suddenly, Jason began to protest.
<i>“</i>That’s a lie<i>!!</i>”
Like clockwork, Sophie’s tears came raining down.
“ra, I don’t <i>understand </i><i>why </i><i>you </i><i>hate </i><i>me </i>so <i>much</i><i>. </i><i>All </i><i>I’ve </i><i>ever </i>wanted <i>was </i>for <i>us </i>to be close.”
Suddenly, my father walked directly towards me.
SLAP!
My father pped me hard leaving a ring in my ear. As I grabbed my cheek, he began to yell.
“<i>Stop </i><i>lying </i>on <i>your </i>sister<i>! </i><i>You’ve </i><i>always </i>been ungrateful! <i>This </i><i>is </i><i>why </i><i>I’ve </i>always <i>loved </i>her most<i>! </i><i>You’re </i>just as wretched as your mother wa-<i>” </i>
That was it! I couldn’t take it! I instantly kicked my father sending him flying across the room. My stepmother and Sophie let out a loud scream as they all ran towards him. Jason was yelling and cursing at me asking if I’d lost my mind. What they didn’t know was that for the past two

years, Casey had been training me in self–defense. If I wanted to, I could have done real
damage.
As they all panicked, trying to help my father up, I calmly made my way to the door to collect my things and leave. As I walked out the door, my father came heaving and yelling.
<i>“</i><i>You </i><i>little </i><i>bitch</i><i>! </i><i>How </i><i>dare </i><i>you </i><i>kick </i>me<i>! </i><i>Don’t </i><i>you </i><i>ever </i><ie </i><i>back</i><i>! </i><i>You’re </i><i>threw</i>! I’m <i>having </i><i>you </i><i>removed </i><i>from </i><i>Lexington and </i><i>ck </i><i>balled </i><i>by </i><i>every </i><i>school </i>in <i>this </i><i>state</i><i>! </i><i>You’ll </i><i>never </i><i>be </i><i>a </i>
<i>biochemist</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
As he ranted and raved, I calmly made my way to the gate calling my rideshare. My phone
showed it would be arriving in three minutes. The time was now 4pm.
Damn.
Oh well, maybe I can grab something at the airport. I asked my rideshare to give me a few minutes while I grabbed my things from the hotel, afterwards, I arrived at the airport around
5:30pm.
Perfect.
Time to leave. Goodbye Glendale and hello Springsten, it was time for me to have a new life.
