Moving On *Completed*

Chapter 56-How Dare They

Emily Pov

I am so mad at them right now, I can't see straight. How dare they think I am having sex with them and I just met them a week ago. What kind of person do they think I am. Hell, they are the ones who told me they were my baby sitters and to trust them. Oh, that's right, it's me they don't trust. Why don't they trust me? What did I do for them not to trust me?

"EMILY!!" shouted Owen.

Blinking, I look up to him. His eyes are soft, yet demanding.

"I'm sorry. I was lost in thought. Could you repeat that?"

"We asked if you were alright, and if you had another bad dream?" stated Sean.

"No, my parents woke me up with a phone....." I am cut off my Owen's phone ringing.

"Don't answer it Owen. It might be my parents." I shout at him as I jump off the couch. I run down the hallway and got his phone off the night stand. I see it's my dad and I answered. "You will not discuss this with them. If you have a problem with it, you can tell me. They were doing what I asked them to do. I will not have you threaten, make them feel bad or punish them for what I asked them to do. I am a grown adult."

"Emily?" Sean spoke quietly.

I turned around and saw Sean looking shocked and Owen's eyes harden.

"Who are you talking to on my phone?"

"My parents and I will explain later." I say waving him off.

"Emily Shayen Sway, You give the phone to Owen right NOW!" bellowed my father in my ear. I am sure they heard it too. I have had enough. Hitting the speaker phone and facing the camera in my room, I spoke clearly "Go ahead. I know you can see we are standing in my bedroom and I placed the phone on speaker."

"What the hell are you doing sleeping with my daughter? We asked you to protect her, not sleep with her. She is not Sang and you will not treat her like you treated that problem child. We told you she comes first. Not yourselves." stated my Mother.

"Mr and Mrs X. Emily, excuse me, Sayen, has been having bad dreams and asked us to stay in her room when any of us stay the night. She does not feel comfortable in the room alone, and did not want any of us on a pallet or air mattress. She advised us that we can sleep in her bed. She prefers it and we keep our clothes as well as Emily to ensure nothing inappropriate happens." replied Owen.

"I don't care what she says, we do not want you in her bed. She is too important to treat any old way. We were forgiving with Sang. We will not tolerate this with Emily." stated my father.

"I don't care what they did with whoever Sang is, this is me. I want them in here with me. I trust them like you asked me to do. They have not done anything inappropriate." I stated. I make a mental note to ask them about this Sang lady later on.

"Hush your mouth child! We don't care what you have to say or what you feel is best for you Sayen. This is about what is best for the Academy and the team. You have no idea what you're doing or bringing up for them. Stop being so selfish." Mother said.

I felt so deflated and hurt. "How nice of you to remind me what this is about. This has everything to do with you and what you two want. You know, this morning has been eye opening for me. Here I thought you were concerned about me, but now I see I am not important to either of you and that you two care about the Academy more than me. It's just hypocritical that you talk about family first, but you don't care about me nor consider me family."

"Sayen, you need to understand....."

"No, I do understand. Go ahead and talk to them. They are more important than me and it's obvious you consider the members of the Academy as your family and I am not. I am going to get dressed and get going. I have two events tonight and I need to make sure everything is ready. Janice, don't forget to email me any changes you wish to change and if I can make them, I will."

I went to the closet to fetched my clothes for day. Coming out I told Sean and Owen that I was going to use the other bathroom to get ready. I asked them to call me when they were ready and I would meet up with all of them so we could finalize the plan for tonight. As they opened their mouth, I turned and left for the other bathroom.

"Sayen, you will not dismiss your father and I. You did that once this morning and I will not take you calling me by my first name. I am your mother and you will treat me as such." my mother yelled.

As I closed the door, I could feel myself starting to shake. I feel like I am just a waste of space. No one wants to feel like they are nothing, especially by their parents. I always thought I was wrong, but now I see just how right I was. I adjusted the water and step in the shower. I just can't hold it in as raise my face to the shower and let my tears fall.
