"Woah, honey what happened? Who did this?" My dad asked me with a worried look on his face, genuine concern. My first thought is how can my dad read me so much? How does he know that I have been hurt? And then I realize I have been crying that is how he knows.
"Daddy, I'm fine just something that Zach did," I say and try and walk up the stairs to my room but get bombarded with a hug by my dad. Why God? Why must you do this to me? I think before returning the hug and then letting go.
"Hey, honey do you wanna talk about it?" My dad asks and I just shake my head and he just mouths an " Okay" and with that, I just walk up the stairs to my room and get my short and crop top nightclothes on, I wash my face and brush my teeth, and then climbed into my bed and pulled the covers over my head.

(3 hours later)
I hear a knock on my bedroom door and I mumble a "come in" then I realize that they can't hear me then my voice cracks as I answer in a hoarse voice " Just come in already" I was getting kinda annoyed. Then I totally regretted saying come in because it was Zach and my ex-bff. My eyes widened with confusion.
"Callie I'm so sorry I didn't think how it would have affected you" Zach states walking closer to the bed as I scoot back further down the bed.
"Zach you cheated on me with Lillyanne and fucking lie to me when you said you loved me!" at that point I'm yelling and a look of pure shock was on Zach and Lillyanne's faces "get the fuck out of my room and never come back to this house you have no business here if you fucking cheat on me" at that point I jumped off the bed and shoved them both down the stairs and out the door "And now you guys can go fuck each other now that I'm not in the picture" with that I flipped them off and shut and locked the door.
I slid on the floor pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my face in my hands and started to ball my eyes out, my mom and dad walked into the room, when they see me they run over to me and engulf me in a big hug, my mom is the first one to ask me if I'm okay.
"Oh Callie what the hell happened? Are you okay?" My mom had a look of pure hurt in her eyes the kind that moms get when their babies are upset and need comfort, I just shake my head and my mom once again hugged me.
"Mommy and daddy, can I ask you a question?" I ask and she smiles and nods. and he does at the same time as her.
"How do you handle people when they cheat on you?" I ask them and both eyes grew wide with concern so I finish my sentence "Well Zach cheated on me with Lillyanne and at school, he accused me of cheating and it was him the whole time" I finish but before I could get an answer from my parents because my brother walks in and I get up and wiped up my tears and quickly ran up the stairs and in my room and lock my door.
"who did this?... Why would he do that? ... she is like that best thing that could happen to anybody... but her best friend!" at that point he was yelling and I started crying harder. My brother knocked on my door and I went over to it and unlocked it then opened it, he then walked in and gave me a big hug.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were doing an internship in San Francisco?" I ask while my face is tear-streaked.
"I wanted to see my favorite sister and I got told that I might have to kill someone!" He stated while streaking my hair and his chin on my head. "I love you baby girl and I will do anything to protect you! I will do anything to protect my baby sister" He finished and we walked over to my bed and just laid down and fell asleep.
I just hope my parents will always be there for me like they have been since the day I was born. I love how they never get tired of me even when I am a jerk to them and I always feel horrible when I yell at them but that just goes to say that I am a b-word but not because I like making people feel bad I just come off as rude when I am seen around the places where I live, personally I don't think I am mean.
Who could ever come off as a jerk if you don't let anybody but the people that you know really well, into your life, but I never just let people see the different sides of me, If I show you then I trust you but sometimes I have a bad judge in character? I just don't let everybody in because I have learned that the best way to get hurt is by letting so many people in.
And I will never do that again, I love myself and I want the next person I am with to love me too, so it isn't just a one-sided love, That just irks me even tho I have been through it before I would never wish that upon someone, I could never want someone to go through that like I had to.
I never really thought life could be this hard, why did God go and have to make cheaters liars, and thieves? Doesn't he have better things to do then allow someone to cheat? Like how is that even fair on my part, I try to do my best and I'm the one getting hurt in return.
