I don't know how it's been since I'd been here. Just laying in my bed, rewatching romcom movies on repeat with a bag of Jelly Babies in my hand. But all I know is that I didn't leave my bed unless it was to go eat, shower or go to the bathroom.
I also hadn't spoken to Dad since.. Since he announced the news last week. About Evalyn. Aka his new girlfriend.
— FLASHBACK ! —
"This wasn't exactly how I wanted to introduce you guys but.. girls, this is Evalyn. And she's my new girlfriend."
I felt my heart grow stiff. My hands felt clammy, my throat immediately went dry and I suddenly felt claustrophobic. Did he just say.. girlfriend??
As in..someone that wasn't Mom with him..?!
"It's really nice to finally meet you both. Your dad's told me so much about you!" Evalyn's muffled voice came into hearing as she outstretched her hand for Vanessa to shake, which she did as she muttered something back but I couldn't hear anything; the entire place was growing muffled by sound.
"Zoey??" "Zoey honey.." I couldn't tell which muffled voices were calling out to me. If it were Vanessa's or Dad's, I was too busy in internal conflict to even pay attention so I did the only thing I could have done in the situation at hand.
I ran upstairs, my footsteps growing louder as I reached my room, the muffled noises subsiding, which led me to hear Dad's own footsteps following mine. "Zoey!"
