Chapter 1 The Big Move
Esen
I’ve been dreading this day for weeks. The big move now that my ridiculous mother has gone and eloped. We are now moving out of the city and to the town over moving in with complete strangers. Thanks a lot, Mom, for thinking of my safety and happiness. I sigh rubbing my hand down my face, and now this dinner so I can meet them and tomorrow we move. The only upside to this was I wouldn’t have to go to school with my ex and his new girlfriend, my ex-best friend. Pretending I was unaffected every time they were in front of me was more painful than I expected. I dreaded every day, as I woke up lying in bed contemplating ways, I could remove her teeth without anyone knowing it was me. She manipulated every situation pretended I could confide in her and turned it against me. The sting of betrayal was so fresh, and it burned every day with no reprieve since we lived on the same block and went to the same school, I always saw her. And I had no one to talk to because we had the same friend group, and those assholes knew what she was up to and said nothing. I can’t go to my mom because I wasn’t even allowed to date in the first place. I couldn’t believe three years wasted dating him now our senior year and my eighteenth birthday were ruined. The only place I could put all of this was my diary. I didn’t even bother to fight for him or explain. If after all that time we had been together he believed her so easily what was the point anyway.
I finish getting dressed, wearing a black lace crop top with a black lace bra, black jeans, and chunky heeled combat boots. That’s all I wore now black yeah, yeah judge me in my teen angst even my nails were black. I hated everything and all I wanted was to go live with my dad, but my mother refused. Which, I don’t understand or get why. She doesn’t even spend time with me or take care of me. If she’s not working then she’s traveling, and she doesn’t even take me with her, not even during summer break. That’s why I don’t bother to call her mom, I call her Stacey she’s never been a mother in my opinion sets all these crazy rules and ditches me.
“Esen get down here now we will be late!”
I quietly walked down the stairs this was not an argument I wanted to have even though I had been ready an hour ago and told her so and she was still doing her makeup. I silently get in the back seat of her car I don’t even want to sit next to her.
“No attitude, no rude comments smile and behave. Understood.”
I stay quiet.
“Esen, do you understand?”
“Yes, Stacey.”
“And don’t call me Stacey in front of them.”
“Why? It’s your name Stacey.”
“It’s rude I am your mother.”
“You were the womb I grew in, yes, but what other part makes you a mother.”
“Keep pushing it you’ll love being punished.”
“Sure, Stacey.”
She glared at me through the rearview mirror, and I continued to stare out the window. When we pulled up to the restaurant and she practically flew out of the barely stopped car to hug him my heart dropped when I saw who was with him, my ex and his little brother. Out of all the men my mom spread wide for the man she had to marry was my ex’s father seriously. If this was ever the moment for me to become an Isekai anime and be teleported the hell away from here this, was it. Please any great entity out there please don’t let this happen. I held my breath, willing my reality away but to no avail they all walked over to me. I put on my usual mask barely looking at Anil and greeting them. When everyone walked to the restaurant Anil pulled me back I looked at him impassively.
“Why are you pretending not to know me?”
“Because I don’t know you.”
“Stop being immature Esen.”
“I am not being immature. The Anil I knew that I fell for that I trusted isn’t the Anil that is standing in front of me.”
I stated simply and he just looked at me before saying.
“I could say the same to you.”
“No, you can’t because I never betrayed you.”
“That’s not what your friends say.”
“And after being my friend for two years before dating, dating me for three years a total of five years you really believe that is something I would do to you?”
“Well, why would they lie?”
“Come on. How else was she going to get you if I didn’t look bad? You believed what you wanted, and it is what it is now.”
I shrugged
“So why not defend yourself?”
“At first, I was in shock that everything was falling apart around me and then I was angry. You didn’t come to me first and ask me if it was true. You slept with her first and then asked me. There was no point if you already cheated.”
“But everyone said…”
“Yes, he said she said. What tangible proof was there? Did anyone have a picture of me riding some guy’s dick or a video? Did you walk in and catch me?”
“Well no.”
“So, the only conclusion here is you wanted to try someone new, and this was the perfect excuse.”
He just looks at me.
“Question do you know she fucked both the varsity and junior varsity football and basketball teams?”
“What?!”
“Don’t believe me ask them. Also, check out the hidden chat on the school forum and find the title Merry-Go-Round.”
I turned around and walked into the restaurant. Ten minutes later he comes in a little pale but quiet I avoid him for the rest of the night.
The next day we moved into a huge new house, and you guessed it, my room was down the hall from his and our parents were on the other side of the house. I mentally beat myself up as I unpack, I heard a knock on my door and ignored it but he entered anyway.
“I don’t want to live in this awkward. I know it’s not enough, but I want to say sorry I’ve wanted to say sorry since this started. I was weak and I was stupid.”
I don’t answer or look at him.
“Please Esen. Can’t we at least be civil?”
“Sure. But if you don’t mind, I’d like to shower so get out.”
“Do you remember that time I snuck you into my house and we fucked in my shower? Do you remember you screamed when I had you pinned to the wall almost getting us caught?”
I say nothing when he presses himself against my back. I stayed still squeezing my eyes shut.
“Please don’t Ani.”
“Don’t what? I miss you.”
He kisses my shoulder lightly trailing kisses up my neck. I grab hold of my anger and pain, finding the strength to pull away.
“Get out of my room.”
“But Esen.”
“But nothing, leave me alone.”
I pushed him out the door and locked it.
