My Valentine

The revelation

Last day was a very different day, so many weird stuff happened, including the fact that we met a couple whose names were Barbie and Ken. That was funny, but the weirdest part was that Barbie was cheating on Ken with... Heather?!? I was so tired of that girl, she was getting on my nerves. Even though, those weird stuff happened, we still made a new friend, Ken. He was a nice person, but very unlucky when it came to love, pour guy.
Well, I needed to think about other stuff, better stuff. I had the best friends ever, a great family, even though I missed my father since he spent half of the year traveling, because of his work, but I still had my mom and my dog. My life wasn't that bad, I just needed to think about the great things about it.
When I woke up, I went to the living room and I saw my mom crying. She looked so sad and that was making me nervous.
- Mom, is everything ok?
- No, honey, it's not.
- What happened?
- It's your father.
- What happened with him? Is he hurt or something??
- No, he's ok, that's not the problem.
- Then what it is?
- He... has been cheating on me...
- WHAT?? SINCE WHEN??
- I think... since you were born.
- SIXTEEN YEARS?!? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!? YOU NEVER SUSPECTED OF ANYTHING???
- No, because when he said he was traveling because of the work, he was actually meeting his other family...
- I'm gonna kill him!!!
- Don't do that, honey.
- Then what are you going to do?
- We'll just divorce and he can be happy with his other family.
- How big is that family?
- For what I understood by the woman on the phone, she has a daughter, your age. She probably is in your school too, since the women lives in this city...
- I can't believe this... I'm so sorry, mom.
- Don't be, honey, this has nothing to do with you. Just go meet your friends or something and forget about this.
- Are you sure, mom?
- Yes, go have some fun. I love you!
- I love you too!
I left and went to Kevin's house, that was the only place I felt comfortable to go at that point. He opened the door and I got in, and for my big surprise, Heather was there too. WHY WAS SHE EVERYWHERE?!? Ok, I needed to calm down, I had bigger problems to deal than Heather.
- Why is she here?
- Well... something happened in her house and I'm the only person she trusts to talk about this things.
- Are you sure she's not lying to get your attention again?
- This time, I'm sure.
- Ok.
- But, why are you here, love??
- It's weird, but I'm here for the same reasons as Heather.
- Really? What happened??
- My mom found out today that my father was cheating on her?
- Oh, how that happened?
- She called him and another women picked up, when he was supposed to be on a work trip, and she said he was her boyfriend.
- That's so bad. And that has been happening for how long?
- She said that he is her boyfriend and they live together for like, 16 years.
- WHAT??
- Yes, that was my honest reaction.
- I'm so sorry, love...
- It's ok...
- Wait, that happened to me too.- Heather said.
- What?
- My mom told me the same thing. That my father has another family, for like 16 years, and my mom didn't knew. She said that a women called there, and that she wanted to talk with her husband. This is so weird...
- What is your father's name?
- Michael Addams.
- No... THIS CAN'T BE TRUE!!!
- What can't be true?? You're so weird.
- IT CAN'T BE, IT JUST CAN'T BE!!!
- Just tell what are you thinking, already.
- That's my father's name...
- WHAT?!? NO, NO, NO!!! NO WAY!!!
- That means we're... SISTERS?!? NOOOOO!!!
- WE CAN'T BE, I CAN'T SISTER OF A WEIRDO LIKE YOU!!!
- Girls, calm down a little. Are you sure he's your father?
- I can show a picture.
- He really is my father...- Heather said.- NO, I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS, NEVER.
- Try to think positive, maybe this was an excuse of the destiny for you guys to be finally friends.
- EW, NO!!!- we both said.
- I can't do this, I'm just gonna leave.
- Wait, I'm going with you.
- Thank you, Kev!!! You're the best boyfriend!!!
- Heather, I'm leaving and you should too.
- Fine, I'll leave too.
- Thank you. Let's go, Emily.
We left together, with no specific place to go, we were only walking around and watching funny videos. At some point we ended up at the park so we sat on the grass, watching more videos.
- HAAHAHAHAHAHA, THIS VIDEO OF CONAN GIVING BIRTH TO HIS DOG IT'S JUST SO RANDOM BUT SO FUNNY!!!
- LITERALLY, BABE!!! HAHAHAHAAH!!!- Kevin said.
- Look, this was me when I was a kid.
- You were so cute, Emy!!!
- Yeah, my father took the picture.
- Ohhh...
- It's ok, now it's past. Let's keep watching funny videos. I wanna see that Conan's video again!!!
- Ok, love.
We kept watching videos and I was getting sleepy. At some point I slept in his lap, while listening to music. That was making me feel better. Kevin always made me feel better. I was hoping he knew what I felt about him, because I never really told him. All that stuff about love and having a partner was still weird for me, but he knew that... right?
When I woke up after a while, I saw that he was hugging me tight and kissing my forehead. He was so cute. I loved every single thing about him, especially his way of being.
- You are awake.
- Yes, I am.
- You were sleeping smiling.
- Really? It's funny because I'm not really happy.
- You're so cute when you sleep.
- You too!!!
- I was almost sleeping too, but watching you sleep made me stay awake.
- Awwww!!!
- Well, do you wanna go somewhere?
- What about... the pet shop!
- The pet shop?
- Yes, there's nothing cuter than a cute animal. Come on, let's go!
- Ok, I do anything for you.
We went to the pet shop together and, for my surprise, my father was there. I started feeling weird and didn't wanted to be there, not anymore.
- I don't wanna stay here anymore.
- Why? We just entered here.
- My father is there.
- What?
- Let's go before he sees us.
- Ok.
- Sweetie, you are here!!!
- Go away, father.
- Why are you talking to me like this, what happened?
- You don't have to fake anything. I know exactly what you did.
- What? I did nothing. I just came from my work trip.
- So what are you doing in a pet shop?
- I wanted to make you and your mom a surprise. I was gonna buy you a kitty!!!
- A kitty? Are you joking? I know you were with your other family.
- H-How do you know about that? I mean, what are you talking about?
- You know exactly what I'm talking about, and mom knows too.
- Wait, I can explain, everything.
- Maybe you should try to explain first to your other women and other daughter. I guess Heather is as surprised as me.
- How do you know about Heather?
- Just please go away. I have nothing more to talk with you. Let's go Kevin.
- You, get away from my girlfriend, or I'll punch you in the face, until you can't say anything more.
We both left, while my father was still looking at us. He was probably thinking that I was drunk and that I invented every single thing I said, but I was 100% sober, and deep down, he knew that. I could never invent such an absurd thing.
Kevin took me to a restaurant because it was already dinner time. I didn't wanted to go home yet, my head was still confused, I needed more time to put my ideas in order. We didn't had a lot of money, so we just ate something at Burger King before we went home.
- Kevin.
- Yes?
- Can I stay at your home today? I don't wanna go to my home now, after all that happened.
- Ofc you can! I'm just gonna tell my mom and you should do the same. If you don't she'll get worried about you.
- Ok, I will.
I called my mom and explained everything. She said I could stay at his place, but sleeping in different beds at different rooms. I wasn't going to sleep with him anyways, I was gonna sleep in the couch.
- My mom said I could stay here, but I'm gonna sleep on the couch.
- No, you're not. You're my girlfriend.
- What do you mean?
- You'll sleep on my bed and I'll sleep on the couch. I want you to feel as comfortable as you can!!!
- You're literally the best guy I know. I'm so lucky to be your girlfriend.
- Now, go to sleep. It's very late and I don't want a sleeping and grumpy girlfriend in the morning.
- HAHAHAHHAA. Only you to say something like that.
- Yep, but it's true. Go to sleep before I bite your nose.
- Nooooo, don't bite my nose.
- Then go to sleep.
- Okok, I'm going.
- Very well. I love you!!!
- You're so adorable.
He kissed me on the forehead and gave me a tight hug before I went to sleep. He was so cute I was almost crying of cuteness, but it was time for me to sleep. I didn't wanted him to bite my nose. My pour nose.
I went to the bathroom first to brush my teeth before going to sleep. Then I grabbed a fluffy pillow and hugged it until I could finally sleep. Lately I couldn't sleep very well, I was always thinking about the bad things that happened to me and my friends, or about the fight I had with Heather, my sister.
I wanted to sleep, but those memories were always there, in my head, making me feel bad and I couldn't help but be awake. I couldn't take that anymore so I went to the living room.
- Kevin, are you still awake?
- Yes, why, babe?
- I can't sleep.
- Are you having nightmares or bad thoughts that don't let you sleep?
- The second.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- I was wondering if I could be here with you.
- Of course you can! But don't you prefer to lay on the bed? I can lay next to you until you sleep. We can cuddle, and when you fall asleep I'll come back here.
- That sounds nice, but my mom told me that we couldn't sleep on the same bed, or in the same room.
- But where not gonna do anything, we'll just cuddle, and I'll leave when you fall asleep. Everything is gonna be ok, but I just want you to feel safe so you can actually sleep.
- Ok. You're right. Thank you so much, Kev. I don't know where I would be without you.
- Come on, it's getting late and you need to sleep. Remember, I don't want a sleeping and grumpy girlfriend in the morning.
- Hahaha, Okok.
We went to the bedroom and cuddle until I fell asleep. Sleeping next to Kevin made me feel safe, so I slept faster than I usually did. He was definitely the best boyfriend I could ever ask for. Thinking about him made me forget about everything else. I was finally feeling safe, and I knew I could count on him for everything. I loved him.
