Trust is a dangerous path.

Chapter 24 : He didn't choose me

I woke up and immediately felt like staying in bed but i knew i couldn't and even don't want to since Lucy walks around the house.

I got dressed and again left right after so i wouldn't have to see any of them. I already texted Lira i was in school and she answered right away.

I waited in the library. I heard the chair next to me crack and i looked up to see Miles. Only a second later the chaires opposite from us were taken too by Noah and Lira.

"So? How did the talk go?" Noah asked with a smile on he's face. "Not so well." i answered and suddenly he's smile dissapeared. I went to sit straighter and leaned my elbows on the table.

"So, first of all she tried to poison me yesterday. I'm allergic to mushrooms and she put them in her food on purpose. I don't even know how she knew." I got very confused looking faces but i just continued.
"I talked to my dad but he wouldn't believe me and i even tried telling him about the mushrooms but he says it was an accident when it clearly wasn't. He even started yelling at me an saying stuff. On the end he just said he's not sending her away and that we were just gonna pretend that conversation ever happened."
I finished and Lira was shocked obviously. Probably about the yelling. She knows my dad for so long already never ever has he yelled. Noah looked still a bit confused and when i looked at Miles he was just staring to the table.

"I didn't expect that to happen." Lira said sighting deep. The bell rang and we stood up at the same time. Lira gave me a hug and rubbed my back saying it didn't make sense to her. I nodded and took my bag. Noah gave me a comfort smile and he started walking with Lira to class. I was following behind when Miles took my wrist. I turned looking at him with raised eyebrows.

"Are you okay?" He asked. No. I wanted to say but i'm honestly fine right know. I nodded.
"I geuss you were wrong huh? I'm sure that doesn't happen a lot." He looked confused.
"I was wrong?" he asked.
"He didn't choose me." I said and broke eye contact. I walked to class the rest in silence.

The rest of the day we talked about everything except my father.

When we were walking home Lira asked some more questions about my step-mom. I honestly just wanted to forget she was in my house.

I walked in the house and my dad wasn't home yet. Nothing new. I thought. I sighted and started goin upstairs when i heard a annoying voice.

"Oh, You are home. How was school?" She said with a smile. I was genuinly confused with this woman. "School was fine, not like you care anyway." I said. Seconds later i reached my room and shut the door immediately. The last thing i want is for her to be in my room.

I listened to some music while drawing but i started to get hungry. I went downstairs and luckely Lucy wasn't there.

I grab the stuff i need to make a easy meal. I don't mind making food really. It's not like i love it but i like it.

When i was done i sat the table this time for Lucy too. I can' stand here but it's just eating with her atleast that needs to be done. Who knows how long she's gonna be in my house. I better get used to her being around so we start with small things like dinner.

I knocked on my dads room. I asume she sleeps in his room and i was right because she opened the door. She looked at me shocked as if she hadn't expect me to stand at the door. Well who else would knock at the door?

"I made food. Do you want to come eat dinner with me?" I asked as sweet as possible. "Oh, that's really good child. I'll be down in a second." She said and slammed the door in my face. I went back to the kitchen and sat down. She appeared in the door way inhaling the smell. She seems to approve what i made.

We started eating in silence and i didn't dare meet her eyes. I didn't want to talk to her or make eye contact. I don't even know what i should say.

"Who thaught you to cook like this?" Lucy asked out of the blue. I looked at her and answered. "My mom."

"First mom. I'm your mom now." I laughed and gave her a look of disbelief. How can she be so arrogant. "You will never be my mom." As soon as that left my mouth looked angry. But instead of being angry she let out a strong laugh. "Oh, child. I already am."

I am not going to sit here and try make a bond with her when she is acting like this. Nevermind what i said earlier, we will never get along. From now on i'll just ignore her as much as i can. I walked upstairs and she didn't give me a second glance when i left the room. Good.

I drop on the bed with a big sight.

How can she be like this? How can my dad like her? Why would my dad believe her over me, his own daughter? How can she think she can replace mom like that?

Well one thing i know for sure. She could never replace my mom. Ever. If my dad is to stupid to let her replace mom to him, then that's his problem not mine.

How am i goign to keep up with her? Dad is barely even home but she's always going to be here. For as long as i know she doesn't have a job here.
