Andy

After the incident with Andrew Paula and Landon tried to move on. At this point they were just living together and the insecurities he would lose to one man or another started to make him reevaluate his worth to her. Landon had gone and bought a ring. Came for the blessings from Lara to marry her and had an entire event planned out. But when it was all said and done she rejected him. Said the small one karat ring wasn't the price of her love for him. That it wasn't the ring she wanted as to forget how he showered her in jewels and animals and money and yer her fickle selfish mind didn't want the ring he could afford to keep her. It then clicked in his head she didn't live him. He was just a means to an end and no matter what he did Paula oonly wanted something if it had no strings attached. She only wanted his money. His presents. His tolerance of her behavior . She was never really with him but with his influence over her survival. Landon snapped and tried to kill Paula as she came out a little wear for tare but she made it out alive. This would be the aftermath of the succubus suductress herself as not long after returning home Paula and Lara was back to their normal behavior. Paula and mia never called Lara mother in fact they felt the right to address her by her first name. Lara really didn't challenge their direct insult as she didn't care. Only Melina called her mother mom. Not out of some sense of rear and respect but because Melina knew her place and she saw how tempermental her mother could be when she felt she lost control. Calling her mother was more of an insult to Lara than Paula and mia placing her on her level. To Lara being called a mother when she was in fact never a mother . Since she escaped a decade of being a parent and half a decade being the friend instead of the mother. The mother Lara was to was Dana and she was rejected every time. Melina calling her mother was like pouring salt in an open wound. Reminding Lara how she wasn't a mother at all and the constant reminder of her failures pissed Lara off. The thought of being a mother and acting like a mother put her in severe P.A.D. a term that Melina coined to describe the struggles of her families vanity about age. P.A.D. also known as progressive age denial. One year Paula broke down and cried for days when she realized she was getting older. Lara suffered this too as she refused to admit she was forty five now. During this time the fights were worse as everything Lara did she blamed it on her going through menopause and had anger issues dealing with it. In truth she used it like a shield to explain her lack of sympathy and control over everything. Paula and Lara would fight like two chickens in a cock fight then make up and then back to square one and when it was Melina her ire fancied she was almost thrown out of a two story window in a brawl with her mother who played it on her hormonal shifts. With her progressive age denial and her hormonal shifts the day brought what the day brought. This was also the time where Paula walked in on Lara and David mid sex as she acted offended she opened closed doors expecting to not be scared for life. Which further made the point of the lack of privacy and respect held in their house. When you walked in you saw what you saw and you will learn next time. Melina once was hiding from her sisters and Lara and David went at it as she was trapt listening to the going at it. The moment she could she crawled out from under the bed and ran for it when they were in the bathroom. The trauma of it all made Melina not bother closed doors as her mother stopped for no one. This was the time Lara stop sleeping with David. They barely shared a room and she learned to invest in daily up and spends her spare time glued to a screen. What she was doing who knows but she didn't sleep and barely ate she barley left the computer like it was going to sprout legs and run away if she left it alone too long. She had quit the restaurant and got a job at Macy's and her days was work and the computer. Melina rarely interacted with her mother . Unless there was a company party and Melina being the most decent to not embarrass her mother unlike mia or Paula in their unpredictable manners. Melina would be dressed up and displayed like an auction of good grades and fake accomplishments her mother fabricated to make her look like she was a real mother doteing on her beloved daughter. But we all knew the truth. She was kissing rich peoples asses wishing she was with them and higher than God . The envy was almost criminal. She desperately wanted a comfortable luxerious life as she would often ride around rich neighborhoods and swear she lived there in another life time. She had always had great dreams for such small efforts. Her lack to commit to any real position in her lot in life was because she wanted to do the bare minimum and get mass results. In simpler terms . She was lazy and had no plans in anything she done. Well not enough to commit to anything other than the present day moment. She was a do it and deal with the consequences later type. This was as true as she could be as she had opened store line of credits in all of her children's names as she had shitty credit with her lack to be responsible enough to commit to her cmstore credit bills as well. She was doing what she had to .living like she was in better condition then the truth of it. Cluttering the house with impractical items that got worse over the years. She was a secret hoarder and using her children's identity was one more opportunity to feed her lifestyle and damn it to hell if she fucked up their credit in the process. Being Lara was like trying to control a tsunami. She is unpredictable and her wrath hit all at once when forced. Melina went to school as it was a Wednesday so naturally it was skirts and boots day. Melina and Lisa spoke in between study hall and class changes as she had no real reason to be on the freshman hall to persue their friendship. Andy was on his normal rampage harassing another younger class man with him being his obnoxious self. Every once in a while we would get class room assignments just to have something to grade in the classroom . Today we had to write an essay on a president it didn't even had to be the right facts just one thousand words. Casey a cheerleader who use to be the nicest cheerleader and recently became as sour as the rest of the skanks of the squad ." Your skirt is super short. I'm surprised the office hasn't said anything to you about it." She said with an attitude. " No shorter than your cheerleader skirts." Replied Melina as Casey rolled her eyes. We all signed up to turn in our assignments before the bell rank to release us. Casey use to be the most humble person Melina knew when she was a junior varsity cheerleader but now as a varsity cheerleader she had a smart mouth and thought she would take her chances with a Mcnally. All of us lined up as the teacher wanted the assignments before we all left. Andy stood right behind Melina as she could feel his breath on her neck. " That is a really nice skirt." He said in a whisper as his words began to make melina's skin crawl. " Andy if you don't back up off of me . I will make you back up off of me." Melina said as she turned to look at him being to close to her. " Hey. Hey. No harm done." He said holding up his hands like he was defending himself. Melina looked at him knowing he wasn't up to any good. He was a menace to society. Him being able to be agreeable was suspicious. Melina turned around as she put the paper on the teachers desk and that when she felt it. Andy reached his hand under her skirt and grasped her buttocks hard. Melina saw red as she didn't like being touched and he had his filthy harassed hands on her bottoms as he had the audacity to reach under her skirt and dare touch her. Before she knew it she turned and kneed him in the balls holding him where he couldn't escape her . She kicked him over and over until he hit the floor coughing and blue in the face. " You have no right to touch me ever. Keep your filthy hands off of me." Melina yelled as the teacher sighed as she knew this was building up as Andy was always being a pervert to the girls. The principal had to call the ambulance as Andy was having a hard time breathing. The teacher told the principal Andy deserved it because he had been harassing Melina all year long. Andy went to the hospital as Melina had kicked him so hard it ruptured his sack and it swelled up and needed hospitalization to decrease the swelling. Some kids said he never could have kids. Others said he couldn't walk correctly after that. But what he didn't do is mess with another female and when he saw Melina he gave her a wide birth and stayed out of her way.​
