Anika's pov
ππ°π¨ πππ²π¬ π₯ππππ«
Looking around my room at my now empty walls trying to sleep at 4 o clock in the morning and just can't all I can think about is moving to new York.
Getting out of bed, I opened my door and walk down the dark hallway to my mother's room. I knocked and heard a "come in" Which shocked me because I didn't think she'd be up. Opening her door I went to go lye on the bed beside her.
"Why are you up?" She asked looking at the ceiling while running her hand up and down my arm.
" I couldn't sleep,all I can think about is leaving you here. And what about you why are you up? " sadly I asked. my mom's my everything leaving her is going to be too hard for me.
"I also couldnt sleep but baby girl your going to be alright and your going to make mommy proud." She said smiling softly.
"Of course mom. I love you" I yawned softly.
"Good girl. I love you too Anika" Was the last thing I heard before the darkness consumed me.

8:30 a.m.
"Anika wake up!! " My mother said shaking me very hard to wake me up.
"Go away mom. Let me sleep please!" Trying to convince her to leave was hard because my mom is persuasive.
"Either you wake up or I'll try something else" She said laughing to herself. I peeked with one eye and saw her with a bucket. Mom is so bluffing she would never throw water on me in bed,so I started to drift back to sleep. "Ok then" I heard a splash and then I felt ice cold water waking me up completely. I looked at my mom angrily and saw her holding her stomach laughing loudly.
Looking around the room I then remembered that this isn't my room and the bed isn't mine either, so I started laughing and this cought my mom's attention.
"Where are you laughing nika!?" She asked timidly probably thinking I want revenge (which I do but not now) .
I then pointed around the room, letting her follow my finger, her face suddenly fell, " I'm laughing because you just soaked your bed with water mom" I chuckled out. Really how could she not realize that it's still her room. Mom started laughing because honestly it was pretty funny.
"Ok OK, but get up your father will be here around 12 O clock and I wanna do something with you" She stated wiping her tears from laughing so hard turning towards to door. I got out of her bed and made my way to my room and saw the clothes that I picked out for today on my bed. I took my towel and went to the bathroom and had a long hot, relaxing shower.
"So mom what for breakfast" After I took a seat at the counter I asked.
"I'm making your favourite" She spoke with a spark in her eyes. "Just sit at the table and wait I'm done anyways. "With that said I stared walking to table.
My mom has always been a great cook its just sad that I didn't get her skills in the kitchen. My mom says I take that from my fathers side just like my brown eyes and my light brown hair. I'm always kinds short but I get that from my mom alone with bronze complexion.
I was awoken from my thoughts by the plates being put on the table. "Thanks mom"
"Your welcome, now when you go to your father I want you to continue being your self but stay out of trouble alright" She said with a stern face. I laughing because there was no way I was going back to being the naive girl I once was. "Ok mom". And with that we continued eating in comfortable silence.
"I'm so full I heard my mom groan suddenly causing me to burst in laughter because for such a short lady she can eat.
"Me too mom" laughing I got up and took the my plates and hers to the kitchen to watch them. "Mom I'll wash the plate, we got about one more hour before dad comes. Mean while go to the living room and pick out a movie." I heard a "ok" So I started washing the dishes.
"Ok I'm here" I said while waking in the living room sitting beside my mom on the couch. I moaned when I saw which that mom picked the movie After to watch. I once watched this movie and I was so disappointed because if you read the wattpad book it is so better than the movie. I think they spoiled it by turing it in a movie. But none the less I watched it with my mom because she loves it, once I asked her why won't she read the book she says because it's too detailed. After about thirty minutes in the movie I heard the door bell ringing.
"I'll get it" I shouted try to get away from the torture of the movie, but my mom pushed me down on the sofa and walked towards the door and greeted the person cheerfully when she invited them in being the great person I am I started to eavesdrop, but I was only hearing little like : "nice to see you again" "she's alright" and "we've been good". I heard foot steps coming towards me so I headed back to the couch and sct like it's the most important thing there is.
"Anika!!" I heard my mom called my name, I turned and saw her and a man that I through I wouldn't see for the rest of my life standing there smiling.
"Hello, father, " I said with venom in my voice causing the smile of his to slowly slip off his face making me pleased. What did he expect that I would run in his arms screaming daddy your here? Hell no I'm not that little bitch anymore. She left and she never coming back.
"Hello anika, how are you?" Without answering I stared heading upstairs to my room. I got my suitcases and took one last look in my room with a heavy sigh feeling like I wanna cry but there were no more tears so I swallowed that feeling and heading back down stairs to see my mom and father looking awkward.
"Mom are you ok? "I asked looking between her and my dad.
" Yes"she said waaaayy to quickly making me raise my eyebrow in suspicion. "Umm I was just making sure your father house was Anika proof... Yes that was what I was doing" She said unconvincingly but I saw she was uncomfortable so I leaved it at that.
"So Thomas is it?" I asked my father.
" Anika remember he's your father" She said hitting my arm in a scolding manner.
"It's fine crystal, honestly" I heard the asshole said.
"See mom it's fine" Faking my smile. "So when are we leaving? " I asked Thomas who was looking at me with a longing look.
" Ugh I guess right now" He clear his throat looking at his watch. He started to walk toward my suitcase to pick it up but I quickly stood in front of them shaking my head indicating that I'll carry it making him sigh and walk to the front door with my mom behind him.
"So I guess this is goodbye" I said to my mom with sad eyes once I reached outside. "Hey, don't cry" Wiping her tears feeling like I myself would start crying.
"I just can't face the fact that my baby will be away from me for so long" Mom sigh causing me to chuckle.
"Mom your gonna be fine. I'll call everynight and we'll talk. Ok?"
She let out a sigh and nodded her head.I totally forgot that father was here, turning around I saw him staring. Seriously what's up with this guy and staring,I thought.
"So Thomas, are we ready to go or are you just planning to stare at my mom and I the whole time ?" I glared at him. "And while your at it you can tell me how you got a Lamborghini in Florida when mom said that you lived in new York" I continue genuinely confused.
"Yea Thomas I was also wondering, but I wanted to be polite so I didn't say anything." My mom said in a confused voice hugging her self.
"Well I was in the town over when your mother call me and I had already rented this so I guess that it was fate"
Yh fate my ass. I thought and snorted out loud
Sighing I turned back to my mom hugged and kiss her whispering a "I love you" And getting it back. I looked towards my suitcase now realizing that it's not there. So I started heading towards the passenger seat of his red Lamborghini purposely slamming it loudly.
"You ready kid?" He said once he got in the car. I nodded my head looking outside to my mom who was waving madly cause me to laugh and wave back before she was out of sight.
"So what do you want to talk about?" He asked trying to make small talk. Wanting to not say anything disrespectful I reach forward for the radio and turned it up. But guess he didn't get the message.
"Anika did you hear me?" He asked looking at me for a quick second.
"I heard you I just simply don't like you so I don't see any reason to talk to you." I said pointedly putting my heart buds in my ears and "You don't even know me" By Feouzia started playing.
