Part one. Good girls prefer bad boys

Chapter first

Lisa

What is it like for flowers in a stuffy greenhouse? I thought I knew this very well. I have three sisters (need I clarify that I am the youngest of them?) and caring parents. I have always been a kind of little princess in airy pink dresses. I was tied with bright bows, even when there was no need for it, I was forbidden to cut my wheaten curls in school years, and until I was eighteen I had to come home at eight and not a minute later.

Don't think I'm complaining. It's not so bad when you have a caring family. But sometimes it began to seem to me that I was a porcelain doll that I was afraid to even take out. beautiful box. I myself was afraid that I would crash, so I didn’t try too hard to comprehend the outside world: I somehow finished school, then college. She spent more time at home reading French novels than outside. But this did not upset anyone. Everyone said that I would soon get married, and life would work out on its own. “Who needs certificates when you have such eyelashes?.. But, Lizochka, don’t rush into choosing your chosen one!”

When I turned twenty-two, my parents moved to Vacation home, closer to the beauty of nature. All the sisters by that time lived with their husbands in own apartments, so I was finally left to my own devices. Taking a deep breath of freedom, I began a dizzying romance with the guy from the next house. That is, it seemed to me that it was dizzying. There was nothing to compare with. But with pleasure and recklessness, which is characteristic only of home girls who have escaped from care, I plunged into the abyss of passion.

Until he left me. This came as a real surprise. I cried like crazy. My state was close to insanity. I already saw myself in a white room with soft walls, scratching his name on my own wrists. But when I woke up the next morning, I suddenly thought that my heart didn’t seem to be going to break. This means that I am not made of glass and will survive this. It was more difficult to explain the same to the sisters. What happened made everyone treat me like I was seriously ill.

– He comes from such a good family, I know his parents! - muttered the inconsolable Natasha, who introduced me to him, - and wow, he turned into such a scoundrel!

- Nata, he good man! – I tried to object.

- Don’t say that, if he were good, he would never abandon our little girl! That is OK. And those weren’t the ones who were corrected.

I winced as if I had a toothache. Natasha, meanwhile, deftly pushed a pan of chicken broth into the refrigerator. The eldest of the sisters does not accept objections. I was going to tell her that I wasn’t hungry and that I was generally able to cook something myself, but the ringing of the phone in the corridor distracted my attention. I rushed to the phone.

“Hello,” said Pashka. I realized that it still hurt me to hear his voice. - I’m calling to apologize. You know, it was wrong. You are so sweet and defenseless! I feel bad that I hurt you! You don’t have to forgive me, Lisa, I’m the last bastard for doing this to you!

I swallowed. I looked into the kitchen, wanting to make sure that Nata was still there, and not in a dark alley, holding a knife near my throat ex-boyfriend.

“Did my sisters make you say that?” – I asked quietly.

“No...” he hesitated. - Um... Okay, yes. You'll find out anyway. But to be honest, it’s embarrassing that this happened...

“That’s enough,” I interrupted the flow of outpourings. It was unpleasant to listen to all this. I said goodbye and pressed end.

- Well, damn it, sisters!..

-Did you say something? - came from the kitchen.

- There is nothing.

I entered the kitchen. Natasha had finished with the broth and was now scrubbing the already clean sink.

- Who called? – she asked innocently. I didn’t deny it.

The sister nodded with satisfaction:

-Have you finally repented?

I put my hands on my hips, trying to defend my position.

“It’s not very nice to force him to call!”

“He’ll crawl to you on his knees and beg you to let him in,” Natasha smiled contentedly.

It seems no one heard me. I shook my head.

In the next morning phone call tore the colorful dream into small pieces. I reluctantly opened my eyes and fumbled for my mobile phone on the nightstand.

- Hello how are you?

It was Pashka again, and before I even really woke up, I realized that I was starting to get angry.

- Fine. And you?

- I? Uh-uh... It’s normal,” he was confused.

- That’s great! Could you stop calling here again?

- I just wanted to…

But I didn’t listen to what he wanted, I just hung up. Maybe I’m not behaving nicely, but... Ah, to hell with all this!

I got up, washed my face, and made coffee. She climbed onto a chair with her legs and hugged the steaming cup with her palm, looking at the yard outside the window. So, what are my plans for today?

There were no plans, and there was no work.

I once dreamed of journalism: running around the city, interviews, investigations. But numerous relatives persistently and steadily explained that girls with curls were not created for such a profession. That crime journalism is dangerous, and glossy journalism corrupts. As a result, I was assigned to an online magazine for women, where I had to write custom articles without leaving home. There was not much work and not much money, but what was enough was free time.
