"it's the ones you love the most who you don't like.". 

The thought was leeched in  laine's brain as she replayed the whole scene in her mind once again. She still couldn't wrap her mind around what happened in the last 24 hours. It was like, it all was a dream, she was there but at the same time it felt distant.

Doris stuttering out her explanation, a brief yelling match between laine and doris and then laine's father telling doris to get out. the only strange thing tho, was that laine couldn't understand why it was hurting her that doris was finally leaving. Why was she crying when all she wished was for that bitch to leave the second she walked in through the door. laine's emotions were all over the place, which was so weird and confusing because why?it isn't like she liked Doris right?she hated her. She was sad, distressed, overwhelmed but one thing she couldn't understand was that why wasn't she happy?

With all this going on, laine hasn't even processed the fact that she was going to attend the university.

Yes. Laine found it hard to believe it too. But when her father found out that Both laine and Arthur had been lied to. Doris basically told laine that her dad isn't sending her and she told Arthur that laine doesn't want to go.

So, like Arthur always wanted, he allowed laine to go.

Well at least one good thing came from this. She had thought at the time.

Laine was currently in her room, thinking upon everything, trying to sort her head out but failing to do so. The thought of making coffee entered her mind for a second but she quickly diminished it when she realised she had to go downstairs for that and laine didn't really want to think of  the conversation she wanted so badly to happen at the time. It was weird to laine because she'd never ever thought she'd cry and be this sad because her step-moher would be leaving.

But maybe, just maybe, she was sad becasue doris ,however she was, became a constant in laine's life. Because she was the only one she'd seen in her life daily for as long as she could remember. Because maybe laine had grown to love her step-mother but she hadn't realised it. Or maybe it was just becasue doris being there assured laine that she wasn't alone but now that she knew was leaving, she knew that she was,in fact, alone. and she or anyone  couldn't change  that.

It was 5 in the evening right now. Laine's father had left to go to ohio, or wherever it is he goes to, in the morning even befoe laine had woken up. But laine was used to it. She knew her father was a bitch at confronting things so he usually just fucks off to wherever. But laine  wasn't mad because that's what she expected. And she knew that her father was scared shitless too. Because believe it or not, Arthur has become sort of attached to Doris in the time spent.

Laine sort of knew she was just over-reacting because why should she be sad if her step-mother, who not to mention is a total bitch, is going away?

" i am not going to be sad just because my bitch of a step-mom is leaving. NO"

And that is how laine finds herself getting out of the house, with her phone and earpods in her hand, not even glancing at the main lobby where the conversation happened.

Laine hadn't cried after that. She was done crying but she was exhausted. She longed for an escape. A place where no one knows her name and she can be whoever she wants to be. Where she doesn't have to keep up with being rich. Where she doesn't has to go to these stupid tea parties.

And laine was happy that she was going to get that soon.

On 1st of September.

Okay I know this chapter may sound really abrupt and all over the place but yeah I just wanted to give you an insight of what laine is feeling at the time?

Also just wanted to say, the part 1 is about to end soon. It has ended from Laine's perspective. Just zayn's part is left now.

PS. I am sorry for the typos . This chapter is unedited.
