Adopted by R5 - My story

Chapter 28- Fight

Michael felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and hurriedly pulled it out.
I didn't get to see the caller ID, but as soon as he picked up the incoming call I could hear an angry Riker on the other side. I couldn't really make out what he was saying, though. Michael's smile, which had been on his lips basically all the time after our kiss, slowly faded down.
"I don't know.... no no I swear " he said frowning. He then handed me his phone, mouthing something like 'He wants to talk to you'.
I carefully took his phone and brought it to my ear.
"Uhm hello Riker"
"Oh hello Hailie" he said bitterly
"What's wrong?" I was completely oblivious to what was happening.
"Check your phone". I took my phone from my purse and gasped: 43 texts and 7 missed calls. Holy shít I was in deep trouble.
"I... Didn't hear it ringing" which was true, my clever self had set the phone on silent without even vibration.
"Yeah, whatever, now come home please" he said harshly.
And with that he hung up. I was literally speechless, I had never seen Riker so angry and neither did I know he could be so.
I whispered a 'sorry' to Michael as we hurried back in his car, not wanting my sibling to grow even angrier.
"It's not your fault, okay? I'll explain him" he said noticing my concern.
I nodded, though I highly doubted Riker would listen to him.
As we pulled out in my alleyway, he gave me a reassuring look and we both got out of the car.
I rang the doorbell, and as we were waiting Michael lightly squeezed my hand seeing I was hella nervous.
I was suddenly hoping anyone but Riker would answer the door, so that maybe I had a chance to ran up to my room and avoid a discussion.
But my hope was killed as his blonde quiff popped out of the door.
"Oh here you are" he said
"Riker, listen-"
"No Michael, it's none of your business. Hope you two had fun. See ya around" and with that he motioned for me to come in and closed the door.
Great, he was still pissed.
"You were rude you know?" I noticed.
"Not as rude as ignoring my calls" he spat.
"Look, I put my phone silent without vibration not to disturb our date. I am truly sorry, this won't happen again." I sighed sitting on the couch.
"You don't understand. You don't have to become a rebel or naughty to have Michael liking you." Oh gosh, he thought I was ignoring him for attention.
"It was a mistake!" I exclaimed raising my voice.
"Yeah, right. It was stupid okay? I try so hard to be a good father for you, so you should at least try to be a good daughter." He hissed.
"Guess what, you're not my real father, Riker, and you know it"
"Well it's not my fault if he is an idiot".
He said it. I knew my dad was a complete douchebag and I completely agree. But hearing someone else saying that actually kinda hurt me. Before I knew it tears were rolling down my face.
"Fucķ you, Riker!" I yelled as I ran upstairs toward my room.
"Fine, you asked for it. You're not seeing Michael until I say you can, understood?"
I slammed my door in response and threw myself on the bed.
What was wrong with Riker? I knew he cared about me about why yelling so much??
And what was wrong with me? I never thought that mentioning my dad was enough to let me burst into tears. But again, it wasn't only that.
The whole situation reminded me of the fights I got in with my dad almost everyday and mentioning him only made it worse.
I suddenly regretted what I said a few minutes before
'Guess what, you're not my real father, Riker, and you know it'
My own words kept echoing in my ears making me feel guilty.
He wasn't my dad, but he acted like the one I never had. It was his job to worry about me and I should have been thankful for having someone who cares about me.
Another sentence kept spinning in my head.
'You're not seeing Michael until I say you can, understood?'
