"We're leaving" my mom said with anger in her tone
"What? Why" I say " it's my week with my dad?"
"Devi calmarti, non c'è bisogno di partire per l'Italia" My dad told my mom
"Did I hear that right??" I ask
"Yes you did, me and you are moving back to Italy" my mom says
"ITALY? we're leaving to Italy!" My eyes widen
No I can't go back Italy, my dads here... Mattia is here
"A matter a fact yes we are, and we're leaving as soon as we can so I need you to go back home with me and pack your bags" my mom said
"mom I have a life here" I look at my dad for help "I don't want to leave"
"Oh really, it's this the life you have here!!" My mom takes her phone out and shows me a picture of me and Mattia at the ice cream shop
"What the hell mom!" I said "How did you—were you following me !" I say
"No I didn't, Luca sent me this picture and I'm so
glad he did"
fuck you Luca
"Mom this isn't fair, dad tell her" I said
"I tried, I'm sorry honey" my dad frowns
"Mom you can't separate me from dad again, I want to stay here" I say
"Oh yes I can, watch me" I my raises her eyebrows "your dad is nothing but a bad parent"
"I'm sorry but that's a big lie and we all know it" my dad steps in
"Lie? It's the truth, you let her be out and about, and you let her go around with a guy who's bad for her, what are you going to do when she comes back pregnant !" My mom shouts the last part
"She's a teenager Karen" my dad says
"My name is not Karen!" My mom says
"Well your acting like one, she's a teen and teens go out, they have boyfriends, and of course I'm going to let her go out, she's not a bad kid and you know it! I trust her and so should you! I'm sorry I don't want to have her caged up all day" my dad said "you had your time of your life...now let her have hers"
My mom didn't say anything for a second and when she did I wished she hadn't
"Go get your things, we're leaving" she said "and I'm not repeating myself again"
Tears fell down as I walked to my room, I grabbed all my things and put them in a bag
When I was done I take out my phone and dial Mattia, he didn't answer, I called him again and still no answer
Great
I'm leaving and my boyfriend isn't going to have no clue
And even better, I'm leaving and me and him aren't on good terms, I can't even say goodbye

"I can't believe you went behind my back" my mom said as we got home "I thought I made myself very clear"
"I'm sorry" was all that came out
"Give me your phone" my mom said
"Mom" I say
"Give it" she demands
"Mom please, I swear I'll never disobey you" I begged
"Nice try, maybe you should've thought about that before you dated that disrespectful child"
I take my phone out and give it to her
"No go pack" my mom said
I turned around and walked up the stairs with no motivation and my head down
I stop halfway and bite the inside of me cheek
My mom is super pissed off at me, there's nothing I can do to make her let me stay, so what else could I do but What I'm about to do
"Mom?" I turn to look at her
"What" she says tired
"Remember when you asked me if being with Mattia was my 'life here' when we were at dads" I ask
"Yeah why?"
" Mattia is my life here... and I love him" I said
