Hours later , we were already drunk to a stupor as I could barely walk straight as I struggled to get up

“We should leave now Cassy ” I mumbled as I tried getting up

Stepping outside “okay I can’t drive let me just order an Uber ” she slurred.

We were both drunk and I couldn’t risk us driving .

“Why do you need an Uber when I can drive you pretty ladies home ” a guy said walking closer towards up

“No interested thank you ” Cassy said

“I insist love ” he said smiling menacing

“Step back ” I said as I noticed he was coming closer towards us .

As we walked back with fear on our faces

“You know it’s wrong when you don’t accept No ” I heard as

“You know it’s wrong to interrupt a dude when he’s trying to shoot his shot ” the weird guy replied

Before It could take a minute they had started to exchange blows as Cassy and I hugged each other in fear.

After the separation of the fight the guy walked to us as Cassy thanked him for helping us out .

“It’s nothing . I’m jack ” he said introducing himself

“I’m Cassy and this is my cousin Harriet ” Cassy replied

“Okay nice to meet you let me help you guys stop a cab ” he said politely

Walking slowly behind him , he stopped in-front of a shiny black car , I imagined how the model of this car which was expensive was used for cab but I just ignored it .

Sitting in the car with Cassy as the interior of the car looked rich we gave our address to the driver as we thanked Jack before the driver drove off .

I didn’t ever imagine getting home by 4:00late at night and imagined if Zack would be disappointed in me cause he was a very well cultured guy who wouldn’t like the scenario I went to and wouldn’t be in support of the time I got home .

My parents on the other hand would definitely create chaos cause they wouldn’t accept the time I’m coming home but that’s the whole point right ? To be a rebel so they get tired and let me be .

Dropping me in-front of my house I came down as I walked to my house .

Greeting Cassy and thanking the driver as I left

Approaching the main door I used my spare key to open the door , the house was dark as no light reflected which meant that maybe nobody was home which was strange .

Suddenly , the lights come on “stop there young lady ” I heard my mother say

Rolling my eyes in reply I turned round as I saw my mother and father which was surprising .

I kept silent as I stared

“What is wrong with you Harriet it’s 4:00 and you thought it’s a best idea to come to your parents house drenched in alcohol . Where the hell are you coming from ?”my father yelled .

Flinching a bit I have never heard my father yell this way before .

“ I went out to visit Cassy ” I replied

“Shut your mouth I called the maids asking of your whereabouts this is why I didn’t want you mingling with that pauper friend of yours cause I knew he lacked good proper character . It’s always the maids children with dirty character he’s better off dead anyway since he’s filled with bad luck ” my mother yelled

“Why would you say that mother ? Why will you wish someone Ill luck do you know any idea that was someone’s son it’s always about you ! You are only concerned about your life but never someone’s life ! I can’t believe you have controlled me for years mother it would have been better if I had married him and be tagged a widow than having to be forced to get married and about my whereabouts I went clubbing ”

I yelled back .

Turning to climb the stair case I felt a sharp pain as mother slapped me on my face

She has never slapped me while growing up

“Now listen to me attentively I do not care what you expect from me but your father and I have had enough from you with this attitude if you think being a rebel would save you then you are joking because we are going through with this marriage . Stop this nonsense and do not lecture me again ” she said

Tears streamed down my face disgusted my the character being displayed in-front of me

“Listen Harriet I’m done with this character since you want to be jobless I’m going to give you a work . You will be coming to the firm to learn duties of the firm for the main time . I will also work on this despicable character of yours ” he said as they both walked out .

I regretted having them both as parents and wished that I could get the love and care from parents.

It always isn’t about the money but attention is required and important that was what they didn’t realize .
