Broken
Chapter 1
Francesca’s POV
I sat in the backseat of the car staring out at the pouring rain as our car sped along the motorway on the way to my new house and my new life. I hated my mother from dragging me away from everything I loved I don't know what made her think I'd want to uproot my life and move to another country. I’d always been close with my mum but now I didn’t want anything to do with her.
Flashback
I unlocked the door and stepped inside taking my jacket off and hanging it up before heading into the kitchen where my mum was cooking dinner.
'What’s for dinner mum?' I asked hugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek
'Carbonara, how was your day sweetie?' she asked
'good, and I got another A in biology' I replied beaming
'I'm so proud of you hunnie' my mum gushed and I felt my heart swell with the familiar feeling of pride. I have never felt happier lately, everything is going along perfectly, my grades are perfect, and I have a happy family that love me, admittedly I wasn’t popular I didn’t have many friends and I’ve definitely never had a boyfriend it’s just not my thing.
'Thanks Mum' I cheered as she served up dinner and my dad came and joined us at the table.
'Listen sweetie we need to talk' My dad spoke putting down his fork, and I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach.
'Uh sure dad, what’s up?' I asked nervously
'well, I don't really know how to put this but your mother and I, we're getting a divorce' I felt my jaw drop in shock and I could feel the bile rising in my throat.
'What why?' I asked I was in shock and I just couldn't believe my perfect world was about to end
'things haven't been right between us for a long time and we've both agreed it’s the right thing to do' He explained, I could tell he was being as gentle as he could but I could feel my blood begin to boil.
'And what about me, did you even consider me in this decision?' I half yelled, and I noted that my mother hadn't spoken a word in this.
'of course sweetie, you’re going to live with your mother, In England' and I swear in that moment I saw red I threw my plate against wall causing my mother to jump
'I am not moving half way across the world just because you two have agreed it’s the right thing to do' I spat sarcastically before storming out of the house, I was more angry than upset. I don’t think I’ve ever reacted like that I mean yeah sure I get angry sometimes but I’ve never seen red like that ever and it scared me a little.
End of flashback
I promised myself one thing though and I was going to maintain good grades so I can get the fuck out of this shit hole of a town we were now driving through, there were alleyways and rundown buildings and groups of people all standing around smoking, they were typically punk tattoos, cigarettes hanging out of their mouths busted knuckles and some type of girl attached to their hip looking like a lost puppy clinging onto whatever they can. We had entered a nicer part of the town by now big houses and little shops and cafes around, it was obviously going to be full of snobby people and I disliked that thought. I may be sweet and innocent with good grades but I am by no means posh I never have been and I never will be. 'Francesca we're here' I heard my mum call pulling me from my thoughts, I flicked my gaze to the house and if I'm honest it was quite nice looking and fairly big, but there was no way I was admitting that to my mother. I got out the car and walked up the steps into the house, it was a lot nicer inside.
'So what do you think?' my mum asked
'it'll never be home but it'll do' I replied shrugging before heading upstairs to find my room, I chose the room facing the street. I stood staring out the window at the house opposite; I could see a shadow of someone shuffling around, they were tall and muscular and had a lovely head of curls, I could see them smirk as they caught me looking, I turned away as a blush crept up my cheeks. I mentally scolded myself for getting so easily distracted from the task at hand and I set to unpacking and making my room feel like home.
