Crossing Paths
Chapter 7
Lily`s POV:
It was bad enough that I had to face Juliet today and it was like I thought, she was a self-righteous little princes but when I saw this expensive Porsche in front of our flat I was so mad that I felt like killing the next person I would see.
I went upstairs and unlocked the door just to see my mom in our living room with a man I have only seen at a picture before.
“Honey how was school?” That was my mom. I didn`t wanted to look at her the way I did but I was so angry that I couldn`t stop myself, why had she led the man in who never had cared?
“Hello Liliane, I am Simon, it is nice to finally meet you.” How could he dare?
“I know who you are but I am all but not happy to see you. The only question I have is why are
you here?” He kind of looked hurt but I didn`t care.
“I am here because Juliet told me about your fight and I didn`t want you to argue just because of my mistakes.” That was the time when I couldn`t hold myself back.
“So now I am just a mistake of yours and you came to say you are sorry for this? You know what? We actually got along on our own really well, so we don`t need you here, it is bad enough that I have to see your daughter every stupid day from now on.” I ran inside of my room and slammed my door.
I heard my mum calling my name but I didn`t answer. I heard Simon (I didn`t want to call him dad) tell my mum that he was sorry and that he would from now on give us money because my mum wasn`t able to work. When he said this, it was my mum`s turn to get mad.
“We don`t need your money, I won`t take it. You never cared how we were, you never wanted to get to know your daughter and now she is the one, who doesn`t want to get to know you. I have to ask you to leave know.” I turned on my music and just laid back on my bed.
I thought about Juliet and me having something in common but there was nothing I could imagine. She looked like she would cry in every little situation she couldn`t deal with, then I thought of me never had cried in my entire life. There is no reason for it.
My grandma used to say, that nobody was worth my tears and she was right. Neither my not caring father nor my half-sister were worth it. I heard my mum knocking at my door and I knew all of this wasn`t her fault. “Come in.” We didn`t talk because there was nothing to say. She just laid next to me on my bed and put her arms around me. Like this we fall asleep.
(Next morning)
With sleepy eyes I noticed the time on my clock. Oh crap! It was already half past eight and school would start at nine. I jumped out of my bed and ran into the bathroom to take a shower. After it there was no time to dry my hair, I must have been so exhausted that I overslept more than three hours. Even when we must have fallen asleep way earlier than I go to bed normally.
Luckily I didn`t had to work yesterday so I would not get fired. Grateful I took the sandwich mum had made for school and got my bag out of my room. I gave my mother a kiss on her cheek and hurried outside.
When I stood in front of the school I wasn`t sure if I should enter, but than I took a deep breath and went to my class. “Miss Catrall, it is only your third day and you are already to late. You can stay today one hour longer with Zayn who was also to late. I will find some perfect work for you two.”
Annoyed I sat down on my chair without leaving any comment. I just ignored the starring of my classmates and focused on the English lesson.
(Later)
“So you can clean up the schoolyard, in one hour I will be back and I hope for you that it looks better then than it looks now.” The teacher turned around and left so I started to pick up trash which laid on the floor. Great, I thought, this is going to be perfect.
“Hey are you really doing this?” I didn`t want to talk to him so I also turned away.
“Are you ignoring me now?” Dammit why did he had such a sexy voice?
“I am picking this up because time passes much faster when you do something.” He looked at
me surprised but finally helped me.
“So why are you at this school now?” I just wanted him to shut up.
“That`s none of your business.” He grinned. “You are not really chatty, are you?” Why did he had to smile like that? It only confused me.
“I just don`t like stupid small-talk.” He started to laugh and I also could not stop myself. So we were talking for the rest of the time about pretty much. He made me laugh almost all the time. The only things we didn`t mention were Juliet and our situation. When the hour was over I was almost said about this.
“Hey I had a great time, maybe we can hang around tomorrow? There is a little coffee I can show you.” First I was surprised because he was the best friend of Juliet but I didn`t cared.
Why shouldn`t I go out with this pretty handsome guy, I didn`t own Juliet anything and I wanted to enjoy my time at this school.
“Okay.” I finally agreed. “See you.” He smiled and walked away. Yes, I thought, Why should I respect Juliet`s wish of me being not around her. That was my life and my choices and I just decided that I wanted to hang out with Zayn, so nobody could stop me from doing this.
