Trust is a dangerous path.

Chapter 21 : What?!

I have woken up this morning not knowing what to do. It's sunday, which means my dad should come home today.

To make the time go by faster i decided to go run. I get dressed since i was still in my pyjama.
When i was ready i went out the house and started running my usual routine. It is already evening, i layed in my bed the whole day.

I think about my dad and just thinking of what he has to say makes me run faster to get the adrenaline out. I don't want to fight with dad today. I don't like fighting, at all. Even if it is stupid i'm not gonna start a fight or yell or wathever can go wrong in this situation.

I stop from running for a moment catching my breath. I lean against a tree and that's when i realise i'm at the border close at home. I sit down with my back against the tree. I just need to clear my head for a moment. I close my eyes and passiontly wait for my breath to go normal again. I hear the wind and people talking in the distance, even animals but i pay it no mind.

When i finaly open my eyes again i see the sunset. It's beautiful like always. I wait for the sun to go completely under until i push myself up against the tree and started walking home.

I reach the front door i push it open and to no suprise at all my father isn't home yet. I go to my room and take a shower. I get out and put on some sweatpants and a top. I sit on my bed on my phone until i hear the door open from downstairs.

I immediately put my phone away and stand up walking towards my door. I walk down the stairs taking in another deep breath. I turn into the living room to see suitcases standing in the middle. I counted them, 5 suitcases.

A woman walks in my view and she smiles at me. "Ah, you must be Kaya, right?" She asks. I stare a bit before i answer with a nod. My dad comes in and immediately locks eyes with me.

"Kaya, i see you already met Lucy." He smiled and came to me putting a hand on my shoulder. He pushes me towards her and the woman who apperently is Lucy smiles once more. "So Lucy this is my daughter Kaya. Kaya, this is Lucy my girlfriend." My jaw pretty much dropped as far as possible.

GIRLFRIEND?! What the hell! Since when does my father even date?

"G-Girlfr-iend?" i asked stumbling over the word a bit. "Yes Kaya, i wanted to tell you earlier but i was scared for your reaction. I met Lucy a month ago, she came to the island last weekend togheter with me. Lucy is going to be livning with us now."

I think i'm hallucinating. I have to be.

Lucy steps forward still smiling and she takes my hands in hers. "I'm going to be your step-mom isn't that exciting." She says with a high pitched tone. I finaly pull my jaw back up and give her a smile as best as i can right know. "Yeah, very exciting."

I pulled my hands out of her hands and turned to my dad. "Can i talk to you?" "Sure." we walked togheter to his office.

He closed the door behind us and looked at me. "What's wrong?" "What's wrong?! You have a grilfrined! i didn't even know you were interested in having someone else. And she already lives here, dad that is a huge shock." i blurt out letting the panick, anger, and frustation hear in my voice.

"Look, i'm sorry. I was scared to tell you. Also after your mom i didn't want to push anything and i know i'm making you live with her know but she is super nice. After mom, she is the only one who can make me feel like i felt with your mom."

"Okay, i understand. I am gonna need time though." He nodded his head. "Yeah ofcourse." "I'm happy that you found someone who makes you happy dad."

He smiles and hugs me. I am shocked my dad hasn't hugged me in a while. I hug him back and we both return back to the living room. "I'm goign to get the last things in the car." My dad said smiling at Lucy. She nodded and he left.

A few seconds past in silence before i spoke. "I'm sorry for me being so weird to you before, Lucy. I am happy for you and my dad. I hope you like it here." She pulled her smile again. Something about that smile makes me feel like it's fake. "Thank you, Kaya." she comes closer and stops about 20 inches in front of me.

Her smile suddenly dissapears. "Don't you worry i am very happy to be here. And just so you know even if you didn't like me your dad would still choose me over you."

She was intimitating yes but not enough for me to back down. "Why would you say that?" I asked looking her in the eye.

She laughes coldly so cold i almost shiver. "Just don't stand in my way, okay girl." she says fake smiling again.

My dad entered the living room and looked at the both of us. "Are you two bonding?" He asked and Lucy threw her arm around my shoulder. "Yes, your daughter is very sweet and pretty. I feel very welcome here." My dad smile brightens more and looks at me. "Well, i'm very happy to hear that. I knew you two would click."

"Yes, we sure do." i say not believing my own words.

"I am really tired and i have school tomorrow so i'm gonna go sleep. Goodnight." i go upstairs straight to my room.

I drop myself on my bed and have a big deep sight.

What the hell just happened. Okay, so i have a step-mom now, who absolutely hates me. Great.

I just can't get over the fact that my dad is dating someone. Especially because of mom. I'm not mad because he is dating someone but untill an hour ago i didn't even know he was seeing someone and she already lives with us.

I just keep thinking about mom. I don't want a step-mom. Especially not Lucy.

I don't know how long i'm am gonna stick up with her. I just really need my hours of sleep rigth know. Yes, sleep and i'll figure out the rest tomorrow.
