comeoutwrongThis was just exactly the reason that Effy avoided phone calls home, (except for the ones to Tony) like the plague. Couldn't manage one sodding five minute conversation without going off on one about something.
... "Now Elizabeth, it's important for you to remember, your mother and I still love each other--" Like she was five. Seriously.
"No, we don't." Her mother's quieter offering from the background.
"... No, that's right. We don't." At least they were being honest, right? Effy shook her head, even if they couldn't see that.
"And that's why you're leaving."
"That's why I'm leaving. That's why I am fucking out of here, woman." Ah, there was the yelling and swearing. Right on cue. They didn't even need her for this. "I am on a fucking plane, you're dead right.... So little imagination you have to shag my fucking boss. Could've fucked the turd from Tesco, but no--"
Didn't take much of that back and forth before Effy deliberately hung up and threw her phone down onto her bed and cranked up some music in the hope that might drown out her thoughts. Ten quid said it took them a good twenty minutes to even notice she wasn't on the line anymore.
Just when she thought she was four thousand miles away and they couldn't keep fucking with her emotions. Just fantastic.
[[NFB on the contents of the parental conversation, which once again was taken with some modification from Skins 3x05, because I can't just let her be yet. Door's cracked, and the post can be open, sure, if someone actually wants to deal with her emo.]]
