Chapter 11 (Blackout)

Sarah's P.O.V.

I couldn't help but think about my encounter with Bruce, my stepdad. Wow that sounds so weird. My stepdad... He's not my real dad. It's all very new but I think I can cope. I've ran away from my problems before, I don't want to do it again. I shouldn't do it again, but that seems like the easiest way out. I have to tell Niall about my family,I have to call my real dad back.. So many things are happening in my life right now, I don't know if I should start a relationship. If he ever asks me, that is.

Sighing I picked up my phone. I searched through my recent calls and clicked his number. It's now or never.

"Hello?" I took a deep breath and hoped for the best.

"Hello sweetheart"

"Hi..." I paused "Dad" That felt good to say it, after so long.

"What's up princess?"

"Not much. I'm sorry about yesterday, it's just - it's just all new to me, you know? I didn't really have time to process that all these years have been a lie.." I trailed off. It's true, my whole life has been based on lies, abuse everything that shouldn't happen in a family. I took a deep breath, yet again.

"Could we meet up?"

"Yes, of course darling. Where?"

I though for a second "The park near my house. I can text you the address. Please?"

"Okay.. Good thing I'm in London for a couple of weeks, for work. See you soon Sarah" After that I hung up. I couldn't bare him saying the three words that would mean nothing to me.

--------

The wind was refreshing after being locked up in the house being bored out of my brains.

I sat on the swing, kicking a stone in front of me, I hope he doesn't forget. Please, if he does I will jut look weird, sitting out here by myself. Please, show up. But then again, I'm so scared. I'm meeting my real for the first time - Well that I can remember.

"Sarah?" My hands were shaking and my breathing had become un easy. I stood up to face a tall, slim man with dark brown hair, pretty hazel eyes. He looked just like me. He was wearing baggy, but fitting grey jeans with a plane blue button up shirt. He looked like he was in his 30s. Not too shabby.

"D-dad?" I took a step forward, and stayed there. I couldn't bare him touching me, after all these years, it just wouldn't feel right. I had to hold in my tears, for his sake. No, be strong Sarah. You are still angry with him. Remember? Just because your mum died he left you, with the most horrible man. I couldn't tell him about Bruce. It was hard enough telling my friends.

"Hi" He swallowed and put his hands in his pocket. It was easy for him on the phone, why not now? Maybe I should call someone, get them to pick me up. I can't do this.

I can not do this.

No, take me away. Please.

Make my life better.

Press refresh. Start again.

Take me back.

Please.

Make all this pain go away.

Make everything better.

It's too much.

'Sarah! You're worthless!'

'Ew! What do you want now?! Brook doesn't like you, remember?'

'Please... Please.. Change your style, this whole thing doesn't work for you'
