Warnings: none
A/n: sorry late update, forgive me, and the fact that you guys like this book, is blowing my mind because I suck at writing and English in general lol. And also a short chapter ig. 

"No," you whisper.

"Honey, please," he stands up, grabbing your hand, before you turn around. 

"Don't fucking "honey" me, dad," I remove his hand. 

"Did you know?" You look at Robert. 

"I'm…" 

"Don't even try to lie. Did you plan this?" 

"I didn't plan this, I swear," I cut him off with a punch and a push onto his chest, making him step back a bit. Gaining some attention from the others at the restaurant. The eyes on you made you feel uncomfortable, but you couldn't help it, you felt so stupid falling into this trap.

"You promised." 

"Baby, it really wasn't my plan." 

"It wasn't his plan. It was mine," your dad interjects. 

"But you went along with it. So it's almost the same darn thing!" 

"Please give me 5 minutes, I'll explain. please sweetheart." 

"You know what dad? You have a minute, you know why? It's so I can laugh at you when you're done," you pull your chair, sit down and place your purse on the table.

Downey does the same. Although the guilt is eating him alive, he couldn't help but feel like this was also a great time for you to actually bond with your dad. There were many times he'd tell your father to go back and not break the bond he has with you. You were after all his daughter, and he never stopped loving you, and you know you could never stop loving him either but you also did hate him. It's a feeling you can't really explain, it makes sense but it also doesn't. 

"49 seconds," you roll your eyes, since all he's been doing was staring at you. 

"All I ever wanted to do was keep you with me. I couldn't get custody of you, couldn't do anything because your mother…well, she's crazy, I think me and you can agree on that." 

"That's the only thing we'll probably ever agree on," you nod. 

"But me being away from you never stopped me from loving you. Okay I may have been a shit dad sometimes-" 

"Sometimes?" You scoff. 

"but I came to my senses…"

"It took you 18 years to come to your senses?" 

"No. Took me 3 actually. But your mother always pissed me off and I kept on walking out. We didn't mind you at the time and you were just a kid, but we were stupid to realize that. Until I tried getting custody of you when you were at the age of 14, and it didn't work out well for me." 

You squint your eyes at him, and hum. 

"I'm sorry for everything, don't blame Downey for this," he meets your eyes. 

You take a deep breath in and stand up, walking out the restaurant. Robert stands up following after you and quickly apologizes to your father. He catches up with you and grabs your arm, turning you around and pulling you against his chest. 

"I'm sorry," he starts. "I…" he gulps, and stays quiet, not sure what else to say. 

"It's very hard to be mad at you, did you know that?"
