DOOM

"I'm not coming."i said as i grumpily pushed my books into my locker.

"Why?"my friend Phoebe asked.she was trying to convince me to follow her to an illegal bike race.

"Its illegal for goddess sake,my dad is a cop what if he founds out.?"

"He's not going to except you want him to know."

I glared at her as i slam the locker.

"No."i brushed pass her as i head outside towards the parking lot of our school.

"You just don't want to go or you don't like associating with us."

"You know me Phoebe.i like my space."

"Ok fine.i won't force you."

"Thank you."

"But handsome boys are there."

"Jeez, I don't care about boys."

"Are you reflecting on your past?"

"Don't."I immediately cut her off,i hate talking about the past.

"I will head home now."and without wasting time i got into my car which was gifted to me by my dad on my eighteenth Birthday which was just last three months.

"No good bye?"

"No."

With that i drove out of the school as i headed to the outskirt of the town.

On getting home i found my dad car parked outside and i was surprised cause he was never at home by this time of the day.

"Dad?"i called as i walked into the house.

I was shocked to see my dad making out with a woman on our couch.

I didn't think they heard me come in not until i dropped my car key on the floor.

"Oh my god, Scarlett."my dad called as he quickly stood up and put on his clothes while the lady rushes upstairs to his room, she has been here before with the look of things

"Dad how could you?"i asked trying to hold back my tears.

"Baby i can explain i...i.."he stuttered

"Explain what! that you can't keep your dick in your pants?"

"Scarlett!"he called with open mouth and eyes.

"It hasn't even gotten to a year since mom passed away and you are sleeping with someone else."the tears that have been threatening to fall finally came down.

"Baby I'm sorry,i just couldn't hold my self."

"You disgust me!"i spat.

"That's no way to talk to your father."I didn't even notice that the lady was back downstairs,i angrily snap my head to her direction.

"And who are you to interfere in family matters?"

"I'm sorry i butted in."she apologized.

"Get out."

"Scarlett you can't chase my guest away."

"Why shouldn't i or haven't guys finish making out?"

"I will leave but take it easy on him,he is a man and he needs to release himself sometimes.

"Are you two for real?"I was fucking disgusted.

"Get out!"i shouted.

She immediately rushed out of the house.

"Scarlett."

"I'm disappointed in you dad,im sure mom would be rolling in her grave."

"I regret my actions but it's been a year Scarlett why don't we move on?"

"Is that a question for me or the both of us? are you suggesting of me having a step mom?"

"No no no.... I'm not suggesting that."

"You know what looking at you right now annoys me so I'm just gonna go."

"Where are you going?"he asked with concern written all over his face.

"Not your business."

"Baby please, atleast tell me where you are going."

"I'm going to be at Phoebe's tonight and don't even think of coming over."

I bent down as i picked up my car key.

"I'm sorry."he dropped his head down in shame.

"Tell that to your wife when next you visit her grave."with that i left the house as i rushed into my car and shut the door as i began to cry.

I love my dad but the sight of him with another woman annoys him he belongs to only my mom.

I missed my mom.

She died of heart cancer,we tried everything we could to save her but couldn't.

After crying and pouring out my eyes i drove to Phoebe's house and by then it was already evening.

I knocked on the door and it was opened by her mom.

"Good evening mrs smith

"Scarlett."she called as she hugged me.

She sometimes remind me of my mom.

Mrs Smith was a lovely woman a mother of two lovely kids and a husband, she was a mother figure.i love her cause she takes care of everyone.

"Are you okay dear?"

"Yes."i lied.

"Your eyes look puffy,did you cry?"

I couldn't lie anymore but i wasn't gonna tell her the reason.

"I did but it was because of nothing serious."

"Oh dear come here."she said as she pulled me into her arms once again and i hugged her tightly.

"Phoebe is in her room getting ready for God knows what."

I almost forgot she was going out tonight, who im i going to stay with now.

"Phoebe! Scarlett is here."Mrs Smith called out and seconds later Phoebe came running down the stairs in her bra and pant.

"Oh my God,i know you would change your mind."she said jumping into my arms.

"About what?"i was confused for a second.

"The bike race."

"Well im not here for that."

"Then why are you here.?"she pulled back.

Before i could say anything Mrs Smith smacked her on the back.

"Ouch!mom!"Phoebe cried out.

"Why are you asking your best friend why she is here,this is also her house."

"Was that why you smacked me?it hurts."

"And girl go get dressed and stop flunting your flat ass around my living room."

I burst into laugh as Phoebe glared at me I tried to hold it but couldn't.

"Ha hah ha ha.. laugh all you want, I'm going to my room."she said as she left and i ran and followed her.

"But seriously babe why are you here?"

"I Left home cause i was mad."

"Mad at what or whom?"she asked picking up her jean shorts as she put it on.

"My dad.I caught him making out with another woman in our living room on my favourite couch."

"Oh my God,i..i don't know what to say."she pulled me close and hugged me.

"I was hurt, i even spoke rudely to him and sent the woman out of the house."

"That was harsh Scarlett.did you try hearing him out."

"I don't want to hear anything phoeb,he was caught cheating on my mom."

"Who is dead."

"Phoebe."

"Sorry but your mom is dead and gone she is never coming back and i think it's high time he moves on."

"Are you hearing yourself,it has only been a year since she dead."i was getting angry already.

"A year, Scarlett.he even tried."

"I can't believe this."

"Scarlett Johansson you need to get over this,her death is Also messing with you."

"Don't pin this on her!"

"Gosh scar,im not pinning shit on anyone,i just stated a fact."

"Well keep that fact to yourself."

"Ok you win, look im getting ready to go out,how will you manage."

"Can't you just stay back home?"

"No way,today Damon is riding."

"Who is Damon?"

"Babe you haven't....for real you don't know Damon?

I'm confuse am i missing something here.

"Was i suppose to know him?"

"Of course.he is the talk of the school."

"Whatever."

"Come with me."

"I already told you i can't."

"Baby girl it's gonna be fun,i promise."

"Who would you stay with,my mom or Jason who is out already."

Jason was her elder brother and our best football player and was my childhood crush.

"Come on,the house would be too boring for you alone and going out is going to help you calm down."

She was right i needed something to take my mind off things.

"Fine i will come."

"yah.lets get you doll up."

I smiled as she pulled me into her chair as she started her art work on my face.

Not knowing that today was going to be the beginning of my encounter with doom itself
