I walk beside Emilia holding my books. We had just finished English and were now on our way to the auditorium. We had PE but due to I don't even know what actually. All I know is we don't actually have to do sport right now that our PE teacher just lets us study what what not.
"You and your dad talking" I look at Emilia confused "why" "no reason just curious you get annoying when you guys aren't talking" "lovely but he's we are" "so not even a day must be a new record" I roll my eyes. "I imagine it's super easy for you" "it is actually dad isn't letting me go to kyles party and mum is extra annoying since the whole Diego situation so I'm not talking to either I'm planing on sneaking out can I stay at yours" "you remember our fathers work together my dad would tell your the moment he sees you" "so I'll hide" "I can't lie to my dad" "please" "fine but I will not be blamed if I crack" "your going to crack hopefully in the morning though" "I'll pretend to sleep" she nods "good plan are you going" "I hate parties you hate parties" "it's a new year we could be those party girls the hot popular girls" "no" "try for me" "fine" I sigh rolling my eyes, she cheers clapping her hands as she bounced up and down excitedly.
Emilia and I had settled for doing our own thing. I was reading a textbook, I don't have my Harry Potter book ok don't judge me. Emilia was texting someone and working on homework we had. I had finished the homework. She was definitely the more social out of the two of us. I gave up along time ago. Being a daughter of a cop isn't a best seller, I honestly don't know how Emilia deals with it. It's like the second or third thing brought up when I talk to people. Always retaining to how I'm a snitch. Even if I tell dad he won't ever do anything unless it threatens someone's life. We have some sort of an agreement me and him.
The auditorium had been somewhat loud. Balls bouncing, people running, or people talking. However it was suddenly quiet making me look up. Before I can even register I'm standing up to get a better look. The text book I was reading hit the floor with a loud thud. The sound echoing through the auditorium. I was moving before my mind could register what was happening.
Across the room there my mother stood across the room. She stumbled back as my body collided with hers. I held her tightly. I didn't know she was even due back. My uncle Everett, his my mums brother. He squeezed my arm before walking over grab my stuff. I didn't have to look to know, everyone was looking. Mum was in her army uniform. Everyone looks at people in army uniforms.
Everett walks over tapping my head with my textbook. My bag over his shoulder. "Let's go" he said leading us out of the room. "When did you get back have you" I ramble "I'll sign her out go to the car" Everett said walking away "I haven't seen or been anywhere even picked me up and you were the only person I wanted to see. I landed a hour ago came straight here" I nod smiling "I'm so excited I'm so happy will you live at home or" "me and your dad have a lot to talk about first but I'll let you know as soon as I know" "dad will probably let you stay" "I'm going to stay with Ev for a few days just until I'm accustomed to being back" "dad will let you stay with us we even have a spare bedroom" "ally baby I can't" she said shaking her head making me frown. If dad came straight back home why couldn't she.
I sat beside mum, uncle Everett opposite us. I haven't seen uncle Everett in almost as long as mum. He kinda dropped out of my life. Him and dad had a difficult relationship to begin with, mum leaving made it worse. "So are you back for good or just visiting because truthfully I think it would hurt my heart far to much" "I'm back bug" I smile nodding "does this mean I get to see you more as well because going to uncle Will when dad is annoying is getting annoying they gossip about me" "how could they I won't gossip about you" Everett said smiling "I know because you hate dad" "hate is a strong word" "me and your dad" "did he stop you from seeing me" I don't know why I asked that. Maybe finding out he wasn't this perfect being, I always imagined him as. I was struggling badly with anything relating to him. "Ohh what did he do" Everett asked sitting up smiling at me. I glance at mum, I did kinda promise to let dad tell her. "He slept with his partner and she caught them" mum said sighing "oh what's wrong with that" mum just gestures to me "you didn't know they were basically over...oh wow this brilliant" Everett said the first bit slowly before laughing.
I was back at home. I wanted to stay with mum but she practically forced me to come home, so it's the help of Everett. I sat at the island reading my textbook. "Thought you were going to text if you were late" "sorry" I roll my eyes "hey I thought we were good" "we are or we were I've been waiting for you we have dinner always and if you have to work you call so I don't wait and starve" "your not going to starve" I glare at him "ok ok I'm sorry so you spent the day with Everett" he said the last bit very slowly "the school sends me a message when someone signs you out or when you don't show up" he adds upon seeing my confusion. "I did" "ally" he sighs rubbing his face. Something clearly happened between them. "Mums back for your info but I doubt your on her top ten anymore" I said smiling watching him momentarily freeze "she's back" "yep don't worry she's staying with ev" he slowly nods. I don't miss the twinkle in his eye at the mention of her. "Might want to figure out what you want before you hurt everyone i saw her again" rolls his eyes "come on lets eat" I nod letting him gently push me towards the kitchen.
