Helloooooo I thought I might treat you to a double update! Since I know how terrible cliff hangers are and all that jazz. :")

"Caspar we need to leave. Keep your head down. He doesn't know you but keep your head down and don't turn around what ever you do." I say quickly, through my teeth.
I pick up our stuff off the table and take Caspar's hand. I start to walk out of the cafe and I can feel the tears flood out of my eyes.

"Shhh. Babe, its okay. I'll keep you safe." Caspar says in a soothing voice, rubbing his hand on my shoulder in a comforting way.
"I'll tell you about all this later." I say.
"Okay, whenever you feel comfortable." He says.
I nod slowly, keeping my head down.
"Is there anyone... following us?" I mutter through sobs.
I feel Caspar turn around. I continue to stare at the ground as we walk, picking up the pace a little.
"I can't tell if they're following or just walking. We're almost at the car. Then we can talk about it." Caspar tells me.
I nod, once again, just trying to walk faster.

All I can think of is one section of the letter;
"If he gets out, be careful anywhere you go. He will try and find out."

I'm just so confused. It only happened 9 years ago. How is he out?

After what feels like years, we finally make it to the car. I quickly jump in, locking my door and keeping my head down.
I jump as Caspar opens his door to enter the car, terrified that it might not be him. But sure enough, Caspar is sitting next to me in the car.

I'm okay. I'm okay...

"Do you want to tell me what that was all about?" Caspar asks.

"Can we drive to a park or something? Somewhere away from here. I don't feel safe."

"If course we can."
Caspar starts the car and drives to a nearby - but not too close - park. We stay in the car and I let out a sigh.
I'm still crying but not as heavily as before.
"I saw my father." I breathe out.
"What happened with him to make you react like that?" Caspar asks, completely oblivious of the story to come.

"There's a lot you don't know about me Caspar... I should've let you know sooner, in case something like this happened. Mum said this would happen sometime. Though it isn't right... He killed my mum." I say, which earns a gasp from Caspar.
"He should have a life sentence in Jail." Caspar says.

"I know. I can't believe they let him out so early. It all happened on my 10th birthday. He came home and killed my mum, with all my friends parents around. She wrote me a letter and I still have it at home, I'll let you read it later on. She said in the letter that if he managed to get out of jail that he would find me.. Hunt me down. He's a disgusting excuse for a man. Always abusing my mum. That's why I've lived with Joe and Zoe so long. Because my mum got killed by that dick-wad, and he went to jail. Only for nine years apparently. It's so not justified. That isn't right. Should we call the police? Would that do any good? What if he finds me? I'm terrified. What if he found me at home?" I say, the pool of tears returning to my eyes, pouring out violently.

"Shhh. Babe its okay. As long as I'm with you, you're safe." He says, pulling my body over the middle console so I'm sat on his lap.
"If you hate him, I hate him. You shouldn't have to go through that..." He says.

I kiss his lips lightly.
"I want you to come to South Africa with me." He blurts out randomly.

"Wha... What?" I ask, lost for words.

"Charlie Sugg, I love you and I want my family to love you as well. I want you to meet them. Its a pity that I'm not able to meet your mother, I'm sure she was lovely. I really want you to meet all my family though. We can go there in a few months?" Caspar suggests.

"Of course I will go with you Caspar! I love you more than any words could describe and I would love to meet your family!" I beam, kissing him once again.
"I love you." He mumbles into the kiss.
I smile in reply.
I move back over to my seat and Caspar starts the car. He drives us back home and we actually talk about everything on the way back.
"Thanks for making this the best day ever." I say to Caspar, looking over at him and smiling.
"Even though you saw your father, its still the best?" Caspar asks.
"Yeah! Otherwise you wouldn't have asked me to go to South Africa with you so soon, if at all."

"I have wanted you to come to South Africa with me since the day at the pizza restaurant." He tells me. "I even asked you to come back with me. Don't you remember? It was as if it was our first date but there were a few extra people." His eyes are still glued to the road but a smile creeps onto his lips.

"That's a cute way of thinking about it." I laugh.

We arrive in the driveway of our house and walk in. I keep my head down, just in case, but we make it to the door without my father finding us - thankfully.

Okay, I'm tired and I need to sleep so this will be updated and then I'll sleep okay? Okay.
*TFIOS MOMENT* Sorryyyy. :') okay bye.
