I sat down on my bed watching film on my laptop .
My Phone suddenly rang and I smiled when I saw the caller, it was my mom
“hello Mom “, I greeted
“ how are you baby”.she asked
“ I am fine mum”. I replied
“I want you and to come home for the weekend”. She commanded
“ I don’t want to”. I replied, I love it here
“ Are you going against my word?”. She asked
“No mom”. I replied
“Then come back home now”. She commanded
“ what of Mary?”. I asked
“ she called to inform us she had weekend classes” . She replied
“ fine”, I drawled and ended the call
I dragged myself out of the bed and headed to the bathroom, I returned to the room with a towel wrapped around me
I went through my bag and brought out the red slanted gown Sara gifted me, this will be perfect...
I immediately called Sara to inform her I will be spending the weekend at home....
.

I got home and met my mom in the sitting room
“ hi”. I greeted
“ June”. My mom called , what are you wearing?”. She asked
“ clothes”. I replied
“ I know young lady but this is not the cloth I bought for you”. She queried
“ I hate those sacs clothes”. I replied
“ what!!”. She exclaimed
“ yes mom”. I replied, can you please get me better clothes next time? Or you can give me the money so I can get my choice of clothes
“June what is wrong with you?”. My mom asked
“Nothing mum”. I replied, you want me home and now I am home. What of Dad?”. I asked
“He is in the room”. She replied still looking shocked
“ fine”. I replied and headed upstair to my room
.
.
I pushed the door to my room opened and walked in closing the door behind me
“ can’t they let me have my freedom”. I muttered laying on the bed , I had plans with Sara and mom ruined everything
I sighed when my mom suddenly walked in
“ baby”. She called , did I do anything wrong?”. She asked
“No mom”. I replied
“Then why did you behave like that downstairs?”. She asked
“How did I behave?”. I asked her
“ you were kind of rude”. She replied
“ I am sorry”. I muttered
“ it is alright baby”. She said flashing me a smile , I just want us to spend the weekend together
“It is alright mom”. I replied
“ your dad wants to see you”. She informed and left
.

I headed downstairs and met my parent in the sitting room
“June”. My dad called , how are you?
“ fine dad”. I replied sitting down beside my mom
“How is college?”.he asked
“ fine”. I replied
“What of Mary? Is there any complaint about her?
“No”. I replied shaking my head
My phone suddenly rang and I busied it immediately
“ who was that?”. My dad asked standing up
“Aaa friend?”. I stammered
“ who called you ?”. he barked
“ he is just a friend”. I replied
“ he?”.he scoffed
The phone rang again and my dad moved closer to me dragging the phone from me
“ who is Troy?”. he asked and received the call
“Who is this? Don’t ever call my daughter again”. He barked and ended the call
“Are you already dating boys?”. He asked me
“ No dad”. I replied
“ better”. he said and stormed out of the sitting room still holding my phone
“ is this why you called me here?”. I asked my mom
“No baby”.she defended
“What did I do wrong?”. I asked sobbing , tell me what I did wrong . I am tired of all this .
I climbed up the stairs heading to my room.I walked in ,picked up my bags and headed back downstairs
“ where are you going?”. My mom asked me
“I am going back to school “. I replied
“ your dad was just trying to protect you”.she explained
“ This is not protection mom, this is b*****e”. I replied
“ go back upstairs June”.she commanded
“ I have made up my mind mother, I am going back to school”. I said walking towards the door
“ what of your phone?”. She asked
“ Dad can keep it”. I replied storming out of the house
I flagged a taxi and headed back to school
.

I walked into my room and was surprised to see Troy talking to Sara
“ what are you doing here?”. I asked him in surprise
“He came over to ask me for your home address”. Sara explained
“ were you planning on coming to my home?” I asked him
“ yes”. he nodded, were you arguing with your dad?”. he asked
“No”. I replied
“Then why was he angry?”. He asked
“He was angry you called”. I replied sobbing
“Did I do any wrong by calling?”.he asked
“No”. I replied. My parent just want to control my life, they forbade me from keeping male friends , they forbade me from doing so many things
“ how old are you?”. he asked
“ 18”. I replied
He sighed . I think they just want to protect you
“ really?”. I asked, but I am not comfortable with it
“Then try and set boundaries”. He advised
“ how can I do that?”. I asked
“By talking to them”. he replied
I kept on crying and he pulled me into a hug
“ it will be alright”. he assured me
