I've been avoiding my parents. I know they will want to talk about my test and my results. Quite frankly I would be happy to forget all about being without any real aptitude and having to map out my life by tomorrow morning. When I open the front door all of my family are sitting in the living room just waiting to ambush me.
"Where have you been?" My father asks "it is past 9"
"I was with Ryan not that that is any of your business"
"no need for rudeness Courtney, father was just interested in your welfare"
"please shut your mouth Liam or ill do it for you. Keep out of my business"
"Courtney that is no way to speak to anyone especially your brother. Apologise immediately" my mother states. Can't apologise for what I don't mean.
"Liam I'm sorry you can't keep out of my business and mind your own" I say turning on my heel and making my way to my room shutting the door loudly behind me. I smile when I hear the satisfying sound of the door colliding with it's wooden frame in a rush.
I lay on my bed staring at all the photos I have stuck on my ceiling. Pictures of me with my father, pictures with Liam even a few with my mother. What happened to turn the relationships sour. I think it was when they did nothing to defend and comfort me after the Corey incident. They yelled at me for being violent in public and assaulting someone. I thought fathers were supposed to protect their little girls from boys like that not stick up for the guy. That is what sucks about this faction bad violent behaviour prevents people from doing what is really right.
I throw my pillow across the room instead of screaming into it like most people would do. I don't bother to muffle my aggravated screams usually this time wouldn't be an exception if i actually had air in my lungs to let out.
. This is definitely the last night I stay in a faction that lets a family just stand by as a girl gets her heart shattered. The choice now is which way will I go. This would have been so much easier if I only had one possibility like normal people. But no life hates me and I get to hold the label of divergent. The label that could be a death sentence if discovered. I barely start drifting to sleep when a knock on my door frightens me awake.
"Yes" I say slightly startled. I see my fathers face poke around the door.
"I just wanted to ask about today. Did everything go well?"
"Yeah it was all fine"
"so I'm going to guess your aptitude result wasn't candor then?" He says stepping around the door and coming to sit on my bed
"Am I really that bad a liar that it is so obvious?"
"yes you are" I roll my eyes.
"I guess you won't be staying with us much longer then?"
"Am I really that predicable do I have no secrets?" He nods with the trace of a smile playing at his lips 3 a day growth framing his face. I remember rubbing my cheek over it as a child. I remember it feeling similar to the texture of sandpaper. I almost get the urge to reach out and touch it again almost as if I could go back to that happy place in time and live in it forever.
"Where will you go?"
"I haven't decided yet"
"we'll surely you would go where the test recommended though. Where was that?" I don't answer I stay silent. "I understand that you might not want to talk to me at the moment but either way Ill find out tomorrow. Just don't forget no matter what you choose your still my little girl and I love you, nothing will change that" he kisses my forehead and leaves
"I love you too dad" I say to the door. I lay in my bed feeling more like a little child than ever. A little child that has to make a big persons decision tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry but homework has been building a barrier between us. this is the first night off in a long time and with exams coming after the holidays...
