iT WAS SO UNEASY WHEN I WAS HOME. my father was super nice and I just thought you had to know. I went to my room early because I just don't feel like interacting with him.It's now about 2 a.m. and I'm staring at my ceiling. So many things are going through my head right now. I wonder what else my father lied about. Maybe my mother wasn't so bad after all. I can barely remember her. Sighing, I turn to face my wall.I close my eyes, but the image of my father and Ward shoots up again. I open my eyes again and lie down in the same way as before. I sigh again.My phone lights up next to my bed. I take it from my bedside table and see that I have a message from Rafe. I look weird at my phone and open the chat.

Fine all be there

I honestly don't understand what he wants. I put my phone back on my nightstand and get out of bed. I quickly grab a pair of sports shorts and put a shirt over them.I slowly walk out of my room downstairs. Our stairs lead to the hall. I sit quietly on the stairs and put on my shoes. My dad and grandma both sleep downstairs so I have to be super quiet.I get up from the stairs. Suddenly Beth is around the corner. "Beth I'm scared to death" I put my hand on my heart. She looks at my outfit. "Where are you going?" she says immediately. "Shhh" I say to her."I just have to go Okay" I say bluntly. "I'll tell Dad" she crosses her arms. "Can you not be a brat for once and just let me go" I say irritated.

"I'm not a brat, you're just gone like Dad that's not fun for me at all" she sounds broken. "Beth I know" I say softly. "I really do my best to be there for it every time, but it doesn't help if you piss me off every time" I tell him."You don't know how hard it is for me, everyone says I look like Mom, but it's always negative. The worst part is I don't know who she is" I walk over to Beth and hold her face with my hands"You're not like her at all. You're better than her really. Money isn't everything and I know you know that too" I say softly. A tear streams down her cheek. I wipe it away with my thumb.

I pull her into a hug. She hugs me back tightly. "I know it's made good tomorrow we're going to do something together. Is that good?" I look at her with a smile.She nods slowly. "Where are you going now?" she asks softly. "someone asked if I'm coming to the beach" I smile softly. "is that someone" I quickly put my hand over her mouth."Don't say later, Dad will hear," I say laughing. "But is it the right one?" she says with a laugh. I nod. "I'm only going to see what he wants, nothing more" I shrug. "Soon he wants sex" she says laughing."on the beach" I start to laugh and look at her strangely. "you never know" she raises her hands in defense."Will you make sure Dad doesn't find out?" I nervously ask her,"I have your back" she says with a smile. I nod to her and walk softly to the back door, "beth" she turns to me, "I love you" I tell her. A huge smile comes to her face. "I love you too"
