Lisa was laying on her bed when she heard her mother called her name from downstairs. Her heart raced , she thought what she was planning had come to light.
She reluctantly made her way downstairs and when she got there, she saw that her brothers and parents had sat for dinner. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you standing there for? Get your stupid ass here so all of us can eat" Lisa's father said. She wasn't surprised by what he said besides, she'd never get the love her father gave to her brothers.
She sat next to her mother.
"Oh so you're a queen now.... you've sat! Who do you expect to serve the food huh?!" Kevin ;Lisa's older brother barked.
Lisa felt something boil inside her. "You have legs you have arms you can serve yourself".
"Did you just talk back at your brother?! You'll apologise to him now!"Lisa's father snapped.
"I did nothing wrong that I need to apologise for! What if I don't do it huh whatchu gon' do?!". Mr .Joel got up ready to slap Lisa but Melissa held him back "Calm down Joel sit... I'll talk to her". "I don't wanna talk to anyone all of you guys suck!" Lisa barged out of the house simmering with anger.
She went to the park to clear her mind. She saw Jackson there and she couldn't be thankful enough.
Lisa sat on the bench next to him. Jackson got frightened for a second and when he saw it was Lisa, he calmed down.
"Lisa.... you scared me".
Lisa smiled "Sorry I didn't mean to".
Jackson nodded with a small smile.
"So, have you decided on what you want to do? Will you accept my opinion?".
Lisa sighed"i thought about it hard but I think I'm ready now. I've have enough of everyone treating me like rubbish at home".
Jackson patted Lisa's back "I'm glad you agreed. I thought I'd be going alone".
"Well since I've now come back to my senses, we'll be going together".
Jackson chuckled. "Oh that reminds me, my uncle said he's already rented an apartment for the two of us how cool is that?".
Lisa giggled "That's really cool".
"My uncle has already bought plane tickets and he's sent me money for everything we'll need on our way so there's nothing to worry about".
"Wooow then your uncle must be so rich".
"Yeah of course".
"You have to get ready at dawn .We'll meet here at 2am okay?" Jackson said .
"Yeah sure... I'll try not to oversleep". The two laughed.
