Like My Father

Chapter 1: The Girl who doesn't have a father

The Girl who doesn't have a father

The Daughter's POV

"Chloe! Breakfast is ready!"

I sighed as I put my bag on my shoulder and walk out of my room as I heard my mom's voice. Actually my head is really on ache because of what happened last night but I totally enjoyed everything.

As I walk in the dining, my beautiful mommy is already preparing the breakfast and she stopped a little bit when she felt my arms hug her from the back.

"Good morning mommy" I greet and kiss her softly on her cheeks. She chuckled a little bit and continue what she was doing a while ago.

When everything's already in arrange, we sat down and start to eat our breakfast for good.

Silence filled the whole place and it's not awkward for me, I don't know for mom because it seems like she's been bothering by someting. But of course, I didn't ask her and let her say it in will.

"Chloe?"

She called my attention so I look at her and stopped for a second.

"Bakit ma?"

I asked and gave her my full attention. She kinda seems like uncomfortable for telling it so I waited some few seconds to let her take her time.

I heard how she clear her throat giving me the signal that she's ready for telling me something.

"W-where have you been yesterday?.. Tawag ako nang tawag sayo pero hindi mo naman sinasagot yung mga tawag ko"

Oh SHIT!

Confrontation time AGAIN!

Inalis ko ang nakabara na kung ano sa lalamunan ko at sumimsim sa tubig na nasa tabi lang nang kamay ko. I'm not really shaking in fear when mom confronting me on some of my shitty stuff. But right know I could taste and I could feel my sweat dripping on my head.

What am I gonna do now?

I'm not really good at lying when it comes in this situation.

Ugh Fudge!

"I-i'm in the–"

I was about to say something that was covered with lie when my phone beep and my alarm rang that was reminding me that I need to leave now because I'm gonna late for school even though I still have 30 minutes to arrive.

"Ma look I'm gonna be late for school. I need to go now" as I kiss my mother's cheek and bid my goodbye, I put my bag on my shoulder and ready to leave when–

"Chloe?"

Fudgeeeeeee– Bar!

"Yes ma?"

I look at her and she's already staring at me in stable look which gaves my heart to be stable too and not panic.

Yeah don't panic!

"Be.." She clear her throat removing the lump that was giving her the hindrance to talk and look at me "nothing.. just be safe"
