After my day with Yuzu, our talk about the God Atlas is still on my mind.

Condemned to hold up the sky for eternity.

And that does sound like us.

After all the Gods did create the Olympics...I think?

I laugh a bit at my stupidity and continue to search the Greek Gods.

Hades and Persephone.

Persephone was condemned to marry and live with Hades in the UnderWorld for eternity.

Sounds like the opposite of what I went through 4 years ago.

Flashback

4 years ago

"I'll call you back ok? I think someone's coming..." I say into the phone

"Alright, I love you. Remember ok?" He says

"Yes. I love you too" I reply, before hanging up the phone

"Who was that on the phone?"

I turn around to find my sister entering our condo, backpack in hand.

"Umm.. Mom?" I say, not meaning for the response to sound like a question

"Ok"

Phew... she almost caught me.

I turn back to the stove, shovelling dried spaghetti into the pot of boiling water.

"So what did she say?" Rey inquires

"Just that her and dad were gonna be home late again..." I lie

"Oh.. because Mom and Dad are always at work late. They never usually call to tell us.." Rey says, picking at my lie

"Oh well sh-" and I'm cut off by the sound of the front door opening again

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

"Maybe if you drove a bit safer there wouldn't be a huge dent in our brand new Porsche!" Mom shouts

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry" Dad shouts back

And there it is.

My dysfunctional family.

Sometimes I wonder why they even bothered getting married, they always fight anyways.

Turning back around, I close the gas on the stove and move to the sink to drain the water.

I quickly set up dinner and take my plate to my room to eat.

I never liked to be at the table when my parents fought.

Quietly, I close the door to my room, only for it to be open again once I shut it.

"Ok spill it" Rey says

"Spill what?" I say trying to sound clueless

"Who was on the phone?" Rey demands

"Wha..What, no one" I lie again

I've never been the best at lying to be honest.

"Sure it was. Now hand over the phone" Rey says, sticking her hand out

God she's demanding, no wonder she went into law.

"Nooo! I promise I was just pretending! You know like when kids pretend to talk on the phone like business people?" I lie trying to save my other lie
