Chapter Text
„Kathrin Hawke! What in the Maker’s name do you think you are doing?!”
Slowly the brown haired girl lowered her headphones and opened her eyes lazily. She didn’t want to take a nap but she was so bored the entire morning that she uploaded some new songs on her IPod and went back to bed. She simply had nothing better to do. It’s been a little bit more than two month like this. She just finished High-School and, in contrast to all her friends, had no idea what to do next. Most of her friends just signed in for College and some were looking for a job. She sighed. It’s not like she didn’t want to go to College. The problem was her mother who was now standing furious with her hands on her hips in Kathrin’s room, looking like she was going to explode.
“I found this letter in the kitchen dustbin. Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? I thought I made it clear that there is no way for you to major in music. How often do I have to tell you that it isn’t going to happen? Being a musician is a good way to starve for a living! And I will not allow that! What would your father think of you?”
“Unlike you he would be proud and send me gladly to a music College. Can we please stop this pointless discussion? It’s getting on my nerves.”
“On your nerves? Young Lady I think I misheard you. I’m not keeping up with this. I’m so glad that your siblings are-“
“Not as thickheaded as me, not as stupid as me, not as spoiled as me, not as irresponsible as me. Did I forget something? I get it okay? Sorry that I’m not perfect like Bethany or Carver. Go and cuddle them. They will go to College and become great people with awesome jobs. Just leave me alone now.”
Kathrin didn’t want to hear more and put her headphones back on. Loud music, she needed a distraction now. She skipped a few songs and stopped as a Lacuna Coil song came up. Without giving her mother a last glance she turned around and closed her eyes. The bang of a slamming door was much louder than her music though.
