Her Name Was Meloni

alone at last

Everyone nodded in agreement and the most irritating and frustrating conversation of my life began.

"Now before we begin, I'm gonna keep you hooked up to the monitor so I can be able to watch your heart rate as the conversation goes on. Now can you explain to me what exactly happened when this episode occurred?" He asked.

"We'll I was sketching in my schools art room and when I'm in my artist haze I have the tendency to forget everything around me so I hadn't noticed how many times people contacted me or how late it was. And when I finally check my phone I see the messages from Tate, Becks, phonecalls and voicemails and in one of those voicemails my dad mentions my mom. And how she wanted to meet me," before I could even finish I could feel my heart picking up and the machine began to beep. Tate kissed the top of my head and leaned further into him. I swear I thought my heart calmed down because of the simple kiss.

"Take it slow. Calm down. I'll let your dad explain the rest. Okay?" Tyler said with a smile and I nodded.

His gaze went cold when they landed on my father. "Go." Was all he said and my dad just nodded.

"Firstly I would like to apologize. I take full responsibility. I do realize I handled this situation poorly. Explaining everything in a voicemail wasn't the best idea, especially since I knew how you were gonna react and I didn't take in count the new heart. It all just happened so fast. But I just didn't want you to come home thinking I blindsided you when you saw her in our living room." He said.

Then I let the thing the question that was egging at me for the pass few days flow out of my mouth. "Did you lie to me?" I asked him.

He looked taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"On the night me and Tate had movie night, you told me you were working late. But Becks aunt told her you two were going out. Now I was the one who encouraged you to go out with her so I could not wrap my head around why you would lie to me about going out with her. So tell me the truth? Today wasn't the first time you met up with mom was it?"I asked.

The room seemed to go quiet.

"No it wasn't. I asked Rebecca's aunt to come with me because I wasn't ready to face her by myself. It wasn't my attention to lie to you but I you just got the heart surgery and you weren't supposed to be under any duress. I just didn't want to stress you out." He said.

And though I wanted to hold a serious grudge against him, I couldn't. The situation was impossible. I mean you have daughter with a brand new heart. And with a situation like this I would've kept it from her as well. Was I still a little mad, yes, but when it comes to my mom im always a little irrational.

I pulled away from Tate and walked up to my dad. I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm not mad daddy. Next time, just call the cops on her ass and get her out of the house. I'm ready to talk to her. This can't be on her time. It had to be on mine and if she cant respect that we will never have a relationship."

He nodded. "I understand and your completely right. I'll definitely call the cops next time."

With a all that out of the way I had thought I was in the clear so I sat down next to Tate thinking I was gonna get discharged soon but that was not the case.

"What?" I said in a whiny voice.

"Yes I'm sorry dear, but it's mandatory. Especially after an episode like that. You have to stay for overnight observation. I'll have a few other doctors come check up on you and if by morning we all give the ok, you will be free to go home." Doc Tyler said, and I couldn't help but hand my head in misery.

"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to stay with her tonight?" Asked Tate.

"Yes!" I said

"Hell No!" Said dad.

"Sure!" Said Doc Tyler

"You've been over ruled old man. And also legally I'm an adult, I don't need your permission. Lastly, we literally won't be able to do shit. I'm literally being monitored." I said.

My dad hesitated for a moment and then relented. "Fine I'll pack you an overnight bag and bring up here." He said. He walked over to me and gave me kiss on the cheek, and then he stood in front of Tate making direct contact with him.

"PG-13 tonight mister. Or that's your ass. Got me?" Before Tate could respond. Tyler grabbed my dad and began to drag him out the room.

"Yeah. Yeah. Go get her some clothes ass. Have fun you two. I'll be back in a bit." Tyler yelled after shutting the door behind the two of them
