Can A Demon Be a Father?

Chapter 34

(Johanna's POV)
I layed there in bed, furious about what I had just heard my dad had said.

How could he call Toby and Pipa gutter rats?! How could he be so crule and inconsiderate?!

"He's going to end up alone if he doesn't stop acting this way" I thought to myself before groaning Into my pillow.

Suddenly I heard a small tapping sound coming from my window.

Quickly getting up I ran to my window and nearly screamed,once I saw that it was small rocks being thrown at it.

And who might you ask was throwing said Rocks.

It was non other than...Edward himself.

He smiled sheepishly and waved once he saw me.

I smiled and shook my head at him before opening my window.

"Edward, what are you doing?" I whispered.

"Trying to get your attention, can you come down stairs?" He asked.

Even though I wanted to say yes, I was kinda scared. What if someone saw us? What if my dad saw us and fired poor Edward. But I chose to put those thoughts aside and said "Okay, but meet me in the back of the pie shop. If my dad catches us he will be very angry.'

"Okay, I'll be waiting" said Edward before running off.

I quickly changed out of my white nightgown and into a black and red laced up dress and quickly pinned my hair clip into my hair.

I carefully opened my bedroom door and made my way down the hall.

While I walked down the stairs I could hear mom sniffling in her sleep. She must have cried to sleep poor thing. And I could also hear Toby snoring and my baby sister breathing.

"Dad must be in his shop" I thought to myself before quietly slipping out the back door. I quickly made my way to the back of the shop and waved at Edward once I saw him.

He surprised me by gently grabbing my wrist and taking me into his arms.

My god his embrace was so warm and welcoming, I just couldnt help but lay my head on his shoulder.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry Kimberly showed up, I swear I had no idea that they were coming tonight" Edward said as he ran his fingers over my brown hair.

"It's okay, I dont blame you and I could care less if Kimberly is with Antony. I'm just worried about my mom. She's so heart broken about Kimberly's story. For as long as I've known her she's never broken down this bad before.'

"Well do you really believe Kimberly's story? And not to be pushy but why is the judge connected to your family?'

At this point I knew I couldn't hide anything for him anymore and I knew I could trust him. I was just worried that he wouldn't want to be with me, if he knew about my families drama. Putting away my pride, I slowly pulled away, took his hand and looked into his beautiful eyes.

"What I'm about to tell you, you cannot tell anyone else okay?'

"I give you my word Johanna.'

So with a heavy heart I told Edward my whole story.

Unaware that someone had been spying and listening to us the whole time.
