Oppenheimer

Part 22

Three days later...

Three days had passed and you spent the majority of your spare time in your room, trying to take your mind of what was happening with books and other reading material.

Your parents were once again concerned about your health, worried that you were experiencing some rebound depression.

You had been there before, especially when you went through the break up with Jonathan and after having experienced problems at school. It was just something you suffered from on occasion but you refused to take medication for your condition at this point.

You hoped that this was simply a phase and, after your move to London, things would be okay. The fact that your godmother Cara contacted you daily didn't make things easier though. She continuously reminded you about her threat, wanting you to know that you needed to comply with her demand.

She also told you that she was still watching Cillian and told you that, if you were to do anything like this again, she would know. According to her, she had her eyes and ears everywhere and you eventually resorted to turning off your phone and changing your number.

Cillian had also called you regularly, wanting to talk, begging for you to explain to him why you changed your mind all so suddenly.

It was too much for you to bear and eventually, you destroyed your sim card, ignoring everyone around you but your parents who, unfortunately, you had to deal with on a daily basis.

Your father himself was struggling on set and was in a rather terrible mood. He yelled a lot, but not at you. Rather, he yelled at himself. It was how he coped.

He also complained about Cillian frequently making mistakes, knowing that something was bothering him. He knew that Cillian wasn't usually like this and it was only recently that he forgot some of his lines and struggled to following instructions.

But your mother had her suspicions about this as well, telling your father that something must have happened on set, involving both you and Cillian.

"Don't you think I would have noticed Love? It's my set" your father told your mother but she began to laugh.

"You are oblivious to things happening around you Chris, especially where Y/N is involved. She's good at hiding things from you and you should know this by now" your mother lectured your father and, as usual, he sighed at her in response.

"So, you still think that she is romantically involved with Cillian?" your father asked and she confirmed her suspicions.

"Yes, I believe this to be the case. Cara thinks so too. She told me that Y/N has been spending a lot of time in his trailer when she was on set" your mother explained and your father couldn't help but ponder.

"I suppose it is a possibility and, if they had a fight, then this would explain a lot. I guess I just didn't think that she would be getting involved with an actor. Besides, he is close to my age. I've only got five or six years on him" your father said, raising his eyebrows with concern.

"Well, look at Florence Pugh. It's not unheard of. Despite, Cillian looks rather young for his age and, I think that, your daughter needs a man who she can have a proper conversation with, someone who is educated and smart. Cillian fits the bill, don't you think?" your mother asked before telling your father that she had suggested for Cara to keep an eye on them both, believing that she could trust her.

Cillian's POV

Unfortunately for your mother though, she was wrong. She couldn't trust Cara even though she was your godmother and, when Max looked for more pain killers in his father's trailer to help with the pain in his ear, he found something else.
