Chereads / Ria and the boy / Chapter 10 - A sad backstory

Chapter 10 - A sad backstory

As you all know I, Ria Rosè live alone in my apartment.I never actually explained why I live alone.

As a young girl I relied on my mom and dad.My mother, Pamela Harved-Rosè and my father, Ezlo Rosè.When I was a baby my family was the best.I never was a bad child,But my dad was my bestfriend.I loved him to death.

When I was born, I instantly clinged to my father.He was my best friend and sometimes my mother would be a little jealous because of our strong bond.

One day when I came home my parents were arguing and fighting.

They started attacking each other and then it suddenly stopped.

I peeked downstairs from the steps and I seen broken glass, the couch was ripped up,and our family portrait was shattered all across the floor.

How did our family ever get this bad?

My mother broke the news to me that my father wasn't coming back.They got a divorced.

A week later my father was announced dead on the news, and my mother had a completely new boyfriend.

I never felt so betrayed.I had a bunch of emotions bottled up inside.

My mother's boyfriend was terrible.He always brung girls into the house when she wasn't home.And I always had to witness it.

It started happening a month after he moved in our house and he always had this intimidating stare when he would do it.

I couldn't tell my mother because I didn't know how'd she react.I didn't want to have to tell her.

This one day I was sitting at the table eating cereal and one of my stepfathers girlfriends had something to say about me.

"Is that your daughter?" A random lady said.

"No.That could never be my daughter." He said,"as a matter of fact I don't even know why she's here."

He looked at me and sent me to my room.

I cried in my pillows.This happened for another year until I decided to come clean to my mom.

..

"Mom I need to tell you something." I say sounding serious.

"Oh okay what is it sweetie?" Mom says happily.

"…in private."I say staring at my stepfather.

"…..sure."My stepfather says getting up from the couch.

I stare at my stepfather until he finally leaves the living room.

"Mother..he isn't loyal."I say.

"What do you mean."My mother says.

"I mean as in Stepdad isn't loyal to you."I say.

Mother starts to laugh really loud

"Your very funny dear."Mom says,"but all because he isn't your dad doesn't mean you run around ruining things for me."

"What?No mom, I want the best for you which is why I'm telling you." I say,"You gotta believe me!"

Mom stands up and slowly walks up to me

She raises her hand and grips me up.

"Your father is dead.dead do you hear me."Mother says,"You will show him some respect.I don't care if he isn't doesn't like you or if you don't like him.He is staying here and that is final."

It goes silent

Yes mother.

As the cheating kept happening and happening,I knew mother would be upset to hear about it again.

Once I was

So I left.I left and didn't come back.

That is why, the beginning of Sophomore year I moved into my own apartment.

Mother felt bad so she always mailed money.She mailed enough for me to get my own apartment so I eventually learned how to care for myself.

I will never want to go back to that place I had to call "home" again.
