DISOWNED (2).

   ACAPELLA'S POV CONTINUES.

  “I did not go to get laid!” I screamed. “I got raped by someone who I blindly trusted!” I yelled. 

  “What” My dad said. “Who is the bastard?” My dad asked furiously.

  “Oh please David don’t tell me you believe her.” My mum said. “I am sure she is lying just to get some sympathy from us,” she added hurting me.

  How could my Mum say such about me, I mean have I ever behaved like an attention seeker or do I look like one? Who would lie about getting raped just to get some sympathy? I was so disappointed at Mum for not truly knowing her daughter and for thinking I was lying when I was not.

  “I am not,” I said.

  “Yes, you are!” Mum insisted raising her voice at me.

  “Let’s hear her out Claire.” My dad commanded making her keep shut. 

   “What happened?” My dad asked and I narrated everything to them starting from how Austin told everyone how much he loves me, how he asked me out and I said no, how he asked me to think about it and come and give him my answer in his house, how I went and told him I could not return his love, how he accepted, how he drugged me and raped me and how Cruella was behind the scheme.

   As I expected, Immediately mum heard Cruella her perfect daughter's name, she scoffed and then said angrily. 

  “How dare you try to frame your sister for your stupidity and all your mistakes ".

  “I am not framing anybody, Mum,” I said. “That is the truth, Cruella knew I would get raped and probably also knew Austin was just tricking me but she didn't say a word.!” I yelled. 

  “Cruella is not that wicked or cruel, she can’t even hurt a fly more than her hurting sister.” My mum argued.

   " Besides if she did know something which I highly doubt she did, why would she warn you? It's not her fault you were dumb and could not think" My mum abused stunning me and leaving my mouth agape.

   “Wait, before we judge, let us call Cruella here and hear her side of the story,” Dad said making me happy and smiling for the first time but of course, Mum was against it.

  “What are you trying to say here, David?” Mum asked. 

   “I am not trying to insinuate anything.” Dad defended. 

  “Yes, you are.” She said. “You are trying to support this useless girl here by actually insinuating Cruella knew about her getting raped,” she added.

  “No, I never said that, I just said we confirm if Cruella knows anything about it.” Dad defended.

 “Of course she does not, why would she”? Mum asked. “I can’t even believe you are considering asking her, she would never do such. You know that.” Mum added. 

  Now I am wondering if Mum knows about Cruella’s true behavior and is trying to hide it or if Cruella has fooled her completely into believing she is a very innocent girl.

   “And you!” Mum pointed as she suddenly turned to face me with glaring eyes.

  “If you truly did not want to get laid, why did you go and see him alone that night, and even if you could not go with someone, why did you not inform anyone that you were going to see him that night” My mum asked. 

  “Because I trusted him and never expected such” I answered.

   “How could you trust a guy, even if you trusted him, why did you not go during the day and went in the night instead unless you just wanted to deliberately disgrace us.” My mum added. 

   “How could I want to intentionally disgrace you?” I asked.

  “Well I don’t know but I think that you want to destroy this family,” she replied. 

  Now I was beyond stunned. 

'Is this woman truly my biological mum?' I wondered.

Now I am starting to doubt she is. 

  “First you are not remorseful about what you have done, second you lied against your sister accusing her of knowing about your so-called rape incident which I know is a lie because you were not raped, you did it willingly and finally you tried to cause a rift between me and your dad just now by making us argue whether truly Cruella knows about your rape case or not. Thank God I know my daughter and what she is capable of and what she is not unless we would have believed she truly did it and you were truly raped,” she said making tears drop from my eyes.

   “Can you be any more shameless?” she asked. “And please enough with those crocodile tears! They don’t move me because I know it’s all fake.” She added and hissed before rolling her eyes at me badly. 

   That stung especially when I turned to look at my daddy and saw a very disappointed and unbelievable look in his eyes. 

   Why could they not just believe me, I was not lying. All I just said was the truth and why would I lie, what would I gain? 

  “Words can’t explain how disappointed I am in you.” My dad said making more tears drop from my eyes while my mum nodded at his words.

   “For all these lies you told and for not even feeling remorse about the disgrace you brought to our family, I am hereby disowning you as my daughter!” My dad said making me almost have a heart attack.

  “What?” I screamed. “No, Dad please,” I begged.

   “I will pay your hospital bills and after that, I don’t ever want to see your face at my house again.” He continued ignoring my pleas. 

  “No Dad, No please!” I pleaded with heavy tears.

   “I have nowhere else to go.” I reminded them hoping it would at least move them, it might have moved Dad if he were alone, but with Mum. No.

  “And how is that any of our concern?” Mum asked.

 It seemed to me she was happy about Dad’s decision because she was smiling. 

  “We are not the ones who asked you to leave a lost and unruly life.” She added.

   I just ignored her and continued to plead with Dad, I even struggled to get out of bed and go on my knees despite how weak I felt but he did not even spare me a glance. 

   I even offered to work as a maid there and do everything for myself to just have a roof under my head but he refused, took Mum’s hand, and left me in the hospital ward on my knees. 

   It was the nurses who came to force me up from there and get me in bed and then offered their sympathies to me. But all that just made me cry more and more.

   Now I was finally alone with no one to help me, everyone including my family abandoned me. 

 "Just why me?" I asked but no answer came as I filled the hospital pillow with tears, while also wondering why my life was leading to.
