Chapter 17

~chapter 17 : Lair~

~Dee's pov~

It's Monday and I still need to apologise to Y/N.

I've never seen dad act like that. He was clearly making her uncomfortable with all of those questions, and yet he continued to ask.

I know it wasn't my fault, but I know for a fact that father and Y/N won't be talking to one another too soon.

I've been trying to understand what made dad act the way he did, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe he just wanted to win the poker, but either way, it was out of line making her so uncomfortable.

I'm walking through the hallways of school for any sight of her, when I notice the familiar h/c hair. Bingo!

As I approach her I notice that she's standing by her locker, just staring into it. I think she's just spaced out, but the way she's glaring at her maths homework that's just laying there, is a tad scary.

"Y/N?" She snaps her head in my direction, and blinks at me a few times before her expression softens.

"Oh, hey Dee!" She smiles at me.

Heh... cute.

"Umm hi... you all good? You were spacing out," I say.

"Oh yeah, don't worry, I'm just a little tired that's all," she replies, closing her locker and turning to face me.

"Right, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way my father acted yesterday. He was completely out of line, and I don't know what came over him," I explained. "I've never seen him act this way before, but that's no excuse for making you uncomfortable."

"Don't apologise Dee."

"...What?"

"Why are you apologising for something that was out of your control? It wasn't your fault, so it's not your responsibility to apologise on behalf of your father." She responds.

"So you're not mad?"

"Nope, not at all! I'm not one to hold grudges, unless I see a pattern in the occurrences. If you're correct when saying that your father has never reacted in that way before, then maybe he was just having a bad day. Everyone needs an outlet sometimes," she says. "If he does it again though, I won't be so nice."

"Noted."

"I've got to admit though, your father is a strange man."

"I'm well aware," I say. "Now that that's over, how was your violin assessment?"

~Y/N's pov~

Well, I came second and father was NOT happy with me. Sure father wants me to be the best, but he's disappointed any time I'm not the best. It's not that easy, especially when there are so many other people that want to be the best too.

He puts so much pressure on me with my violin, and B/N with his studies. Plus, B/N is an idiot, no offence or anything, but I don't think he studies at all. He probably just gets distracted, because I can't remember the last time he got a good test score.

At this point, I'm pretty sure father has given up on B/N. Lucky for him I guess.

Anyway, as if my day wasn't already depressing, the first placer wouldn't leave me alone! I was minding my own business, but he was following me around and talking about a bunch of random shit.

He practically followed me home until I physically ran away from him. I know his name was Jay, because I remember seeing it on the results board, but I really don't care. If he wasn't there, my wrists wouldn't be aching.

To be fair, he didn't know the damage that would occur if I didn't take that #1 place, so I can't really blame him.

"Oh yeah, I came second," I answered his question.

"Congrats, that's amazing! Better than I could ever do, that's certain," he placed his hand on my shoulder, his expression blank, but still speaking words of great kindness.

"Heh, thanks Dee," my face is heating up by the second. How do I get out of this?

"Oh umm, you should maybe get to class before you're late," I say.

"Are you not going to class then?" He asked me.

"I've lost B/N, he probably got himself into trouble, so i need to get him out of it"," I explained.

"Right, will me and Heavy see you at lunch this time?"

"Yes, I'm certain of it and hopefully with B/N too!"

I began walking away, Dee following in the opposite direction. At this point, I didn't know how much of a liar I was. Lunch wouldn't be quite as laid back as I imagined.
