Mum slammed her phone down onto the coffee table. her face was red with anger."Now the entire world thinks im mental and that Mika is a bad father. If he doesn't kick us out the house I will be amazed. You don't ever speak to a parent like that you stupid, stupid girl!" Mum shouted so loud to the point her voice began to break. I stood up slowly and towered over her. She looked terrified in that moment as if her anger had gotten the better of her and she had no control over her voice. she walked backwards slightly.
"I had to let off a bit of steam, 2020 has been hard on me. Also, how come you can speak to me like that. If you want me I will be outside." I turned away from her before I broke down crying and stomped over to the patio doors leading to the garden, I opened them, walked through and then slammed the doors so hard the ancient house shook.I heard a little bit of banging and crashing from inside, When she got angry Mum resorted to punching things to let out her frustration, neither of us had many friends in the past so we both developed our own ways of expressing pain. I chose music, Mum unfortunately chose destruction and crying.
"Just you wait till your father gets back, hes in trouble too but Unfortunately I have to be nice to him as its his house."
"He's not my father yet, He's still Mika to me!" I shouted to her. "But at least he talks to me about something other than his long lost partner!"
I ran to a hammock in a sun spot in the corner of the garden and laid in it with my eyes shut and the Italian sun beating down on my face and drying out my tears. I slowly fell asleep to the sound and feel of the hammock gently swaying side to side.
I don't know how long I was on the swing cooling down and relaxing but I know when I woke up it was sunset and Mika was walking towards me, still looking a bit down. I sat up and waved at him. He didn't wave back nor smile. He had a pair of sun glasses on covering his hazel eyes but his frown more than made up for the lack of happiness from his covered eyes. "Georgia, please can you come inside, we need to talk, your Mum and I had an argument and she walked off." He stood beside me and blocked the setting sun. I nodded my head and got up. After my nap in the hammock I felt guilty for my outburst in public. Mika didn't deserve my anger and my very public rant. I followed him into the house. A laptop with one of the twitter hashtags was open on the coffee table. Mika's phone kept lighting up with text messages non stop. The guilt was almost overwhelming and I tried my hardest not to cry. Mika sat down on the sofa, removed his sunglasses and picked up his phone. One of his eyes was slightly swollen. Clearly Mum had an episode of poor mental health whilst I was asleep peacefully at the end of the garden. In the past she had only punched walls and smashed things before but obviously she was waiting to take it out on Mika when she met him after all her years of pain.
"Listen Georgia, about earlier, I know you are upset, your Mum even more so, but unfortunately X factor producers won't let me let you carry on even if we didn't have that rant and people knew of our relationship. I thought they had changed their policy, I didn't find out until I told a producer in Rome of you and that was after our chat in the bedsit. Please forgive me." He said quietly, looking up at me from the couch.
"I'm sorry, today was all my fault," I burst out crying "Mum has been too much over the last few months and I didn't have a single friendly face to talk to about how much its gotten to me. I had no idea she would be so violent with you, shes only ever punched walls in her anger episodes before." I wept as I picked up some handily placed tissues from the coffee table and dried my eyes.
"Oh, My cheek, don't worry that was me tripping up the kitchen stairs, Its not even a proper black eye, I'll be good in a few hours." I could tell he was lying but I knew I couldn't pull him up on that after the events of today. I couldn't help but hug him In my sorrow and guilt. He gave me a strong hug back. "On to the issue in question, he unlocked his phone and showed me his Instagram page. "Its all very crazy all over the place at the minute as you can tell. My family is loosing their minds, as soon as possible we have to meet up with them." He showed Me his family. " This is my nephew Beauregard, My Sisters Paloma, Yasmine and zuelika, My brother, Fortune and My Dad and last but not least my Mama. She is unfortunately very Ill at the moment with A brain tumour and Has just gotten out of hospital. As soon as its safe to travel we need to meet them!" He then put the phone down and he looked at me with a very serious face.
"We have to make a statement to the media. The curse of being well known means the press will do anything to get a scoop if nothing official is said and we have to think of your mothers sanity as well as everyone else in the families privacy. You can decided what we do, I don't want to mess it up with my own excitement." He forced a grin slightly.
"A live video." I replied quickly, I couldn't bear to see him so down, his fans would definitely cheer him up.
He picked up his phone again and looked at me."Ready?" He asked. I nodded my head and smiled He put his sunglasses back on to hide the redness around his eye and held the phone at his eye level.."Hey everybody! I know you've all seen the news online and I can confirm I am a Dad, I only found this out a couple of days ago and its all very fast paced, maybe a little stressful at the minute as It is a huge shock to both sides and that video today was a result of the stress. Both Georgia and I have calmed down since then and now I would like to introduce her properly!" He looked up from his phone. A big smile stretched across his face, I'm guessing all his Instagram fans were accepting of this no longer hidden secret. I sat down next to him and he shifted the phone slightly. I saw the live comments and I couldn't help but smile along with Mika. The comments from his fans were all positive, I had no idea who was making the horrible hashtags or sharing the mean videos but they clearly weren't on his live.
"Hi guys, My name is Georgia Marina, I am Mika's daughter, I Didn't know until about 3 or 4 days ago but It is a huge but such a happy shock for me, my Mum, Mika and Andy. I can't wait to spend time with my new found family and I'm so grateful for you're support." I smiled in Mika's direction for emotional support and he smiled at me from behind the dark shades. There was no more hiding, Finally the past 3 days had been hard not being able to call out to the world that I really did have a Dad. As soon as the live stream ended Mika and I headed out into the garden and took a few pictures together and posted them on social media. His thousands of fans left beautiful comments. I knew this was only the start of it all from now on I'd be in the public eye and I couldn't have anymore outbursts and that included revealing anything about my Mum.
"Tomorrow, you can decide what we do. It can be your day, I think I need to take a relaxing day your way." Mika smiled.
"I would love to just play some music tomorrow, its my comfort zone, my hobby, my life since i can remember, the only thing I ever got a professional tutor for." I smiled in return.
Mika hugged me. "Before I go sort out my eyes, I just wanna say you are the best thing thats ever happened to me, even if you're Mum has some issues with her mental health we can help her push through it and I'd never put you back in that horrible situation you were in a couple of days ago." Mika let go of me and went to the bathroom.
I felt a little tear rolling down my cheek, What was happening to my mum?
