There's more than what meets the eye

Chapter 2: Dinner

*SERENITY*

"Welll let me start of by saying Serenity, Kayden, and Nick I got a call from your dad.. And you might not be too happy with what he said." She says wearily.

"Oh shit" Jake says his mouth stuffed with French Toast

The smile on my face dropped. "He what!?" I Shouted

I look around the table everyone had a look of shock on their face. They all know about my home life and how nobody's heard from my dad in over 5 months.

I look across the table at Kai and he looks completely unfazed. He's still eating his French toast while he texts on his phone.

"Yes, he called and uh he said he wasn't going to be back for another year or so." She said cautiously

"Oh." Nick utters.

Suddenly a chair squeaks and hands slam on the table. I look over and see Kayden standing up his chest heaving up and down.

"Of course he's not coming back. I doubt he's even coming back after a year! GOD, I hate him!" He yells.

"Calm down Kayden! There will be no screaming in my home! I understand this is horrible news. But please continue to listen." Jennet says calmly.

"But-"Kayden starts, I put my hand on his shoulder and sit him down.

"It'll be okay Kayden let her finish" I say. Honestly I wasn't surprised at all. I doubted he would ever come back.

"He was quite worried about leaving you guys alone for such a long period of time so we've come to the conclusion to have you three move into our home." She states.

The first person to react is Kai.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! I'm okay with Nick and Kayden staying here. But Serenity? No fucking way! She's already here like Everyday I don't need her living here now." He shouted at his mother.

"Hey! I want this just as much as you do Ambrose!" I shouted back at him.

"Ok, that enough!" She screams over everyone's chatter, "The decision is final! Serenity, Kayden, and Nicholas you will start to move in tomorrow. I'm not taking anyone else's shit!" Jenette scolds.

"I don't get it. We've been living on our own for over 5 months now. Why do we suddenly have to move in with you guys? Why's he getting worried just now?" Nick asks.

"Well, he told me he's going to sell your house. He believes there's no point in keeping it if he's not staying their." She lets out.

"He's what?!? He can't sell our house! We have too many memory's their!" I argued. There was no way he was selling it.

"Go home you guys.. start packing your bags." She says. I could tell she was empathizing for us.

"This is bullshit!" I say grabbing Juliet and placing her on the ground. I walk out the door without looking back.

I walk into my room and flop onto my bed. I grab my pillow and begin crying into it. This isn't fair. He can't just leave and move us out of our own home. He just can't.
