Behind Their Backs [COMPLETED] (Behind Their Backs series book 1)

Chapter 12

"What?" Jason, Thalia and I all said at the same time.

"What?" My dad repeated.

"You can't get married," Jason protested.

"I can do whatever I want," my dad sassed.

"But her?" I tried protesting.

"Yes, her," dad said.

"But she insulted me and Beth," It was Thalia's turn to protest.

"I'm getting married to Heather whether you kids like it or not. Now, the wedding is next weekend and if you want to come, feel free. If you don't, I don't care," my dad confirmed.
Our jaws dropped so far, I'm pretty sure they were on the floor.

We continued arguing with dad.

"But she is mean!"

"Next week!"

"You're crazy!"

"I don't care what you guys think!"

"She better not have kids!"

"Agreed, I don't have time to babysit!"

"What will we do?"

"Don't you miss mom?"

That got everyone to shut up.

"Honey, of course I miss mom," dad said softly.

"Yeah, well start acting like it!" I screamed.

"I don't like your tone young lady!"

"Well good for you!"

I ran to my room, crying.

Dad can't get married.

Just then Jason and Thalia walked in.

"You know, I've been looking for an apartment for a while now and I bought one and was planning on telling you tonight but then dad dropped that bomb. If you want you can stay there," Thalia said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, and you to Jason."

We both perked up.

"We'll take it."
