Chapter 25: Broken.
Alex brought Piper to a booth near the back of the club where she sat her down against the black leather
Piper was still entrenched in the perfection of the previous moment that they'd had. It was still there, warming every fiber of her being.
"Damn that felt good," she sighed.
"I know, we were really on fire back there. O that felt good. But speaking of fire, why don't I grab us some drinks so we can celebrate more?" Alex suggested.
"That sounds great, I'll just be here," Piper replied as she leaned back in the booth and watched Alex walk away. She looked so sexy in her black dress as she disappeared.
Everything felt absolutely perfect, and nothing could bring Piper down.
"Just when we thought you could be trusted again huh?" The menacingly cold tone from pierced into the magical bubble of Piper's moment and popped it effortlessly, leaving her unbearably cold.
"Mom, Dad. Hi, what's up… I mean I just,"
"Just couldn't do one damn thing right," Her mom spat, with dregs of spittle flying from her wretched tongue.
"Look I can…"
"No you can't Piper. You must just think we're naive idiots don't you?" her mother hissed.
"No, not at all, I just…"
"Just do what you always do and fail to make a single right choice. We pay for you to go to a college of your choice and are rewarded by what? Oh yeah, you getting drunk, partying, and acting like a fucking lesbian whore. You make me sick," Her father sneered, with equal disdain.
His cold words tore into Piper like bullets as her world was cut apart by blow after blow, shattering her nothing but unrestrainable tears.
"What's going on here?" Alex asked as she reappeared with a tray of drinks.
Piper immediately rushed into her arms as Alex barely managed to set down the tray of drinks without spilling them. But Alex was there for her and that was all that mattered to Piper as she held her like never before, clinging to the safety and security of Alex's warm embrace.
"Out drinking too I see are you? Well that's just perfect on top of hospitalizing your exquisite roommate. Now you're coming with us young lady," her mom shouted as she latched onto Piper's shoulder. "We need to get this confusion and all this disobeyment out of you."
Her cold steel graso was unbearable, and Piper couldn't take it any longer.
"No," Piper screamed as she lashed out and flung one of the margaritas on the tray into her mom's face. The ice scattered across her make-up and hair, with an expression of murderous ferocity glaring at Piper. But Piper's father held her back, and held her screams and clawing fingers away from Piper's face by mere centimeters.
"You selfish brat, you lesbian cunt, you fucking fuckwad…"
"You know I've had enough of you fuckers," Piper screamed. "This is my fucking life, I'm an adult who can make my own fucking decisions and not be fucking micromanaged all the fucking time. But I tried it your way, I tried to be the nice little bitch you wanted, but that only made me fucking miserable. So you two can just screw off because you've never accepted me, and you never fucking will."
Suddenly her father's expression got extremely cold as his eyes narrowed to thin and dangerous slits. Alex shivered at what she was seeing as she held her ground with Piper. She'd seen that look before in the eyes of murders and the mentally insane. Now that cold was slicing right into them, but she was determined to stand by Piper.
"I guess you're right, you can make your own decisions," Piper's father relinquished casually. "But then again, the law doesn't bend so easily. Now Piper, you ruined the lives of 40,000 workers for your own selfish pleasure, and we stuck by you and kept you out of prison. We gave you a chance for redemption, to right your own wrongs. Well now that's over. If you want to be a free spirited lesbian whore then enjoy your time in a prison cell, or have fun raising $1.5 million in a week. I'm pulling out your probation bond, and maybe then you can learn. If you can't raise that cash then I say enjoy the next 15 years on the inside bitch. I worked hard to get you that probation bond, and it's so hard in this system these days, but they went for it, and now that's the only thing keeping you from prison, and now it's gone. So good riddance, you are no daughter of mine. Take your lesbian whore out of here and go play with the scum you really are. You make me sick."
Her father took her mother by the shoulder and escorted her out of the club, ice from the margaritas still lining her hair.
Alex stared after them in disbelief and remained shell shocked at what she'd just heard. Her mind was spinning, losing control in the chaos of the club.
Piper slumped down in the booth and buried her head in her arms, the tears tearing through her as she descended into despair.
Author's Notes: So there you have it. I love happy times like this, it's just such a good time to appreciate the things like back-stabbing parents. Oh well prison is always a fun time right? See you next week.
