Tempted

Chapter 47

Raven's POV

As we were walking back towards the car a white convertible pulled up.

Confused we all stopped walking and watched to see what the car was going to do.

A minute later Veronica and my father stepped out, both wearing black from head to toe.

I clenched my jaw as I saw my dad wrap his arm around Veronica's waist and start to walk towards us.

"Hey sweetie. How are you holding up?" My dad asks when he reaches us.

Instead of answering I send him a glare and roll my eyes. When I don't answer my dad continues to talk.

"Veronica's been worried sick about you and James. You haven't called besides the other night when we had our little disagreement." Veronica gives me a fake smile and leans into my dad's side.

"You're pathetic." I whisper.

"I specifically told you not to bring your little whore to my mother's funeral, but of course you didn't listen."

My father's eyes widen as I look at him with disgust.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that. I'm your father and if I want to bring Veronica to your mother's funeral then I can do as I please."

"Oh go fuck yourself." I say as I push past him towards the car.

"Raven. Raven Hathaway don't you walk away from me. I'm your father you have no choice, but to listen to me!"

In a fit of rage I quickly turn around and face him.

"And I'm your daughter! All I wanted was for us to bury mom as a family, but of course you had to bring one of your side pieces!"

"You never cared about her and you never will. I have lost every ounce of respect I once had for you. You just had to have it your way. I hope you're happy now. At least you don't have to sneak around with that fake bitch anymore." I feel someone grab my arm and begin to slowly pull me back.

"Raven! Come back here and apologize to the both of us now!" My father says in an outraged voice.

"Go to hell!" I yell as I walk away.

As we continue to walk to the car I hear my father continuously yell my name, but I don't turn around.

He went to far this time and I've finally had enough of his bullshit.

I watch Harry run in front of me and open the passenger side door. Jumping inside of the car I put on my seatbelt and say nothing.

All of the guys stand outside talking to one another, but the girls head to their cars.

I lean my elbow against the window and place my head in my hand.

I can't believe I just told my dad to go to hell. I've always been the good out of me and James. I never did anything wrong. I've listened to everything that my dad has ever told me. I mean he told me who I could and couldn't be friends with, but now I'm over it. I'm done listening to his order.

It's time that I become my own person.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Harry and James open their doors and jump into the car.

As Harry puts the car in drive James leans forward and silently sits there.

"So, Raven we were all talking and if you're serious about this revenge thing we kind of have a plan. It still has a few holes that we're working on, but we would like to tell you once we get back to the house." James says slowly.
