Starting Over : Luke Hemmings fanfiction

Chapter 24

Bella's P.O.V

My eyes couldn't believe it... It was my father.

"Could I come in ?" He asked me.

"Hummmm I don't know if that's a good idea."

"Come on Annabella I know you and the boys are mad at me but you'll have to get over it sometime." He stated.

I could already smell the vodka on his breath

"I guess,"

I can't believe I'm letting him into my room. I opened the door so he could get in.

He walked in and went to my sofa in my room and sat down. He sat down with his feet apart and his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands.

I hadn't notice how much weight he has lost he's looking really skinny. His cloths are all dirty . I'm pretty sure this it's not healthy at all. He looks to old he looks like he is 55 but he's only 43.

The alcohol is really getting to him.

I just walked over towards my bed and stood in front of it. I didn't want to sit. He was in front of me on the sofa.

"What's happening with this family ?" I finally asked him after a awkward silence.

"What do you mean ?" He looked up at me

"Why did all of this have happen ? What do you plan on doing to change it ? Because your the one who screwed it up. " I asked trying to hold in my tears.

"Your mother hates me. She's the one who left me, and took my children away from me. so I feel like I have the right to be mad.I've tried to be the better man for her to give you guys the life you all deserved. And trust me I wasn't stable to control what happened." My father stated.

"Really ?! Your blaming mum for this ! It's your own drunk ass fault don't blame my mother for this !" I was mad how he dragged her in on this she worked 2 jobs to be able to pay for us growing up.

"Annabella ! This isn't my fault I will admit I drink yes but I don't do drugs and I didn't get remarried! She left me."

"Does that really matter ! At lease she stayed with us Colton wasn't even born yet ! You left a pregnant woman go with two children. You left for Ashton and I to take care of him we didn't deserve that now we have to take care of him I had to grow up to soon same with Ashton !" I began crying this was way to much for me.

"What do you mean ?" He said standing up and walked towards me.

I stepped back I don't want him by me.

"Stop don't come towards me."

"Then tell me what your thinking." He said.

"Dad you don't realized how much you missed in our life's I had to quit dance to get a job just to pay the bills. While you were out drinking ! I can smell the alcohol on your breathe right now ! I had to go to school with people staring at me from all the bruises you left on me from abusing me you would hit and yell at me. Why what did I ever do to you ? I was only 6 years old you were a drunk something I couldn't control I was messed up for so long thinking this was all my fault." I was sobbing at this point.

He stood there in amazement.

"Okay I abused you and your brothers and your mother but that is in the past I have changed into a better man that I was when you guys left me." he said stepping towards me for a hug.

"No don't come near me. I don't feel safe with you by me." I stated.

His face dropped and walked toward the door.
