Chapter 253 Olivia & Betrayal- Exhausted
I'm so freaking exhausted. I spent the last few days exploring Las Vegas with my older sister and her husband. Now I think I need a vacation from my vacation! Can't I just get... I dunno? A couple days to recover?
"Can't I just stay home tomorrow?" I whined. "I'm not going to learn anything! And don't you need someone to take care of you this close to your due date?"
"Liv, you've had 3 days off school already. This is your senior year. Don't you want to graduate without having to go to summer school?" Josie coaxed.
Well, when you put it like that... The thing is, I don't even know what I'm going to do after high school. All I want to do is draw. I know Josie said I can go to an art school and open up my own art studio... But is that really what I want?
I think Rick should've just let us stay in Vegas for the rest of the week and told the school it was a family emergency!
"Your sister is right, Liv. You need to go to school in the morning. Besides, I'll be with Josie. You don't have to worry about her!" Rick smirked as he bent down to kiss my sister soundly.
Well, to be honest, it kinda was. See, Trent had this plan, after Uncle Jay... did things to Charlie, he was worried about a pregnancy, and to save her from embarrassment, we all went to Vegas so they could get married. That way if she turned out to be pregnant, she'll be covered... Even though there are even odds that it's Trent's.
Instead, he brings me home on a Wednesday night and Josie expects me to be in class first thing Thursday morning! Yes, it would probably be good for me to show up to history and English Lit... but can't I just get my assignments and do them online? Then I can get a little bit of rest... I'm jet lagged!
How is that fair?
Charlie and Trent are skipping school for the whole week to go on their 'honeymoon' however short that is. And yes. There is a major difference between high school and college. Number one being you have to pay for college! I guess Charlie and Trent made arrangements with their professors and will be doing their assignments remotely.
It's my freaking senior year; I should be allowed to skip a week! It's not like I taking hard classes anyway!
Yes! I know! I sound like a princess! But I can't help it. Since I was little, Daddy always treated me like the princess. Jos was the reliable older sister with the full job of making sure Aunt Beth let us eat. (I may have been a jerk to her for years, but I'm getting better now!) And Charlie is my emotional support... Yes, I need a lot of emotional support!
Come to think of it, I look more like my dad, maybe that was why I was his little princess. My sisters take after my mom with their hazel eyes and light blond hair. I've got Dad's blue eyes and dark curls... I miss them.
"There's my little princess," he would always say before he'd give me a big hug. And then Mom would be right there too, "Such a pretty girl!" she'd coo.
That was their thing. Josie was their dancer, Charlie was their scientist, and I was the princess.
To be completely honest, I'm jealous. I'm jealous both my sisters are getting their happy endings and I'm stuck with Braxton! But I really don't want to think about him right now.
On to more exciting news, I'll be 18 in just a few short days! I'm thinking of throwing a party. Rick is normally pretty cool about us throwing parties. He's got the house for it after all. He only had one small request.
"It's fine, just as long as you don't invite any of Braxton's friends to the party!" Rick demanded. "We do not need a repeat of last time!"
"Don't worry Rick. I don't even know if I'm even going to let Braxton come to this party this time," I mumbled under my breath.
"Good," Rick stated without any shame.
I don't blame him. Just a couple weeks ago, Rick threw a 'block party' for Josie and Baby Sophie, and then Charlie got cornered by Axel. I still feel bad! I wasn't even at the party!
Not that I didn't want to go to my family's party, I was hauled away before I could even show my face!
"Braxton, I'm supposed to be here! This is for Jos and Sophie! I want to be here with my family!" I asserted.
But I guess he didn't care, because he just dragged me into his car. "I don't give a fuck if they are royalty and demand your presence! You are coming with me!" he snarled.
