Dad's Obsession

Chapter 12: Eggcident

We enter the house and see my Dad at the kitchen counter reading a paper, wearing a turtleneck black sweater with black dress pants a light gray belt, and dress shoes and his hair's a little damp from probably having a shower "Hey Dad, we're back" I say closing and locking the front door behind us "Hey girls did you guys have a fun car ride" "Yeah It was fun" Amelia says setting her purse on the couch and goes to the counter putting the drinks down next to Dad, I'm right behind her and I start to set out the food items "Here's your coffee" Amelia hands him his black coffee, he grazes her hand a little when he grabs the drink, Amelia didn't seem to notice because she just kept on smiling and pulling the drinks out of the carrier and onto the kitchen counter. "I'm starving," I say, smelling the meal in front of me "Yeah me too, when Bear scared us last night I used all of my pizza energy running" "Haeh pizza energy"

Me and Amelia both start to laugh "Bear scared you last night? How did he scare you" Dad asks putting down his coffee on the counter "Well when we were watching movies last night he came down the stairs and all we could see was his eyes on the staircase so we panicked and ran around the house until I fell and he jumped on me and started to lick my face," Amelia says explaining the story from last night "Yeah until you fell over your own feet like a typical main white girl in horror movies," I say taking a bite of my food "It was actually my shoe thank you and I have you know that you would properly die before me in a horror movie," Amelia says smugly as she starts to eat her food. "So Bear accidentally scared you guys last night because he was on the staircase and all you guys could see of him were his eyes?" Dad asks picking up his drink and taking a sip "Yeah, well I mean the lights were off and we couldn't tell what it was, and he started to growl so we thought we were going to die by a weird creature" I say swallowing my food and taking another bite with some of my drink. "And also we were a little scared before because of the bangs on the right side of the house," Amelia says, taking a sip of her drink but when she realized what she said she looked at me and I looked at her.

"What bangs? There was banging against the side of the house last night?" Dad asks now curious as to what happened last night "Really Amelia why can't you keep your mouth shut" I whisper at her "I'm sorry it just came out," she whispers back to me "Hello I asked you girls a question" "How about you explain Amelia since you are the one who reviled the banging against the house" Amelia turns to me with betrayal in her eyes I give her a cold glare she turns back to Dad "When we were watching a movie last night we heard these soft sorta bangs against the side of the house but we didn't go check it out because it was dark outside so we just continued to watch the movie, but this morning Alex woke us up says that there was egg residue all over the right side of the house and later when we were at ZippoA we found out from Sociyaide the new social media app that it was a girl that Willow fought with the other day at school" Amelia says messing with her fingers because she isn't the best at confrontation and also trying to shove food into her mouth so that she wouldn't have to talk anymore "Somebody egged my house because you got in a fight with them" Dad looks at me with anger in his eyes "Yes I did but it was for a good reason" "Oh, really and what reason would that be" Dad says in an angry tone of voice "She was talking bad about Amelia-" "wait what" Amelia turns to me quickly with food in her mouth.

"They were talking bad about Amelia so I confronted them, they got angry and that made me get angry and then we had a massive fight I gave her a new hairstyle, and a black eye" I say taking another sip of my drink "Why wasn't I informed about this the school should have called me" "They didn't call you because they didn't even know there was a fight" "How did the school not know there was a fight if two girls had injuries?" "Well that psycho went home after and I just said that I had fallen and busted my lip" "Okay so you got in a fight because they were bad-mouthing Amelia?" "Yes" "So what did they say" "Yeah what did they say about me" Amelia says looking at me with big round eyes and grabbing the end of her jean shorts in nervousness she always cared too much about what people thought of her. "Well, they said that she is too sensitive, childish with her clothing, she's too smiley, and just a bunch of stuff that isn't true all because they are jealous that she is pretty and they have to hide behind tons of makeup" "They said that about me?" Amelia looks down a little thinking, Dad looks at her back with a longing look so to speak but I don't notice it because all my attention was on Amelia "Hey what they said is not true your beautiful and they are just angry that you have natural beauty but they ruined theirs with lip fillers and all this stuff that you don't need" I say rubbing her shoulder a little.

"Yeah, Willow is right your beautiful no actually scratch that you are gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking, and you are the kindest person I have ever met in all my years of being on this earth" Dad says coming around the counter and bends down and hugs her from behind "Thanks Mr. Smith and Willow you are both amazing and I'm not letting her words get to me but it's just earlier that same day she was just complimenting me and it sounded so genuine" Amelia looks up at me with wet lashes and blurry eyes "Hey, it doesn't matter if she gave you a kidney she backstabbed you never let her words get to you, never cry over somebody so stupid" Dad says turning his head to her and looks at her "See if Dad says your pretty than your pretty now don't let that son of a beetle get to you" Dad turns to me with his eyes a little narrow, he gets back up "Willow you nearly said a bad word" "I didn't I said beetle not that other word" I cross my arms over my chest and turn my head slightly "Okay, whatever" Dad holds up his arms in surrender and rolls his eyes a little Amelia laughs some "Good keep laughing I mean it's Halloween we are going to get our Revenge soon enough" I lean closer to Amelia and whisper she laughs and smiles "What did you just say?" "Nothing, I was just cheering up Amelia a little more" "Okay, but you girls are going to have to eat your breakfast fast because it's starting to get cold" me and Amelia both turn to our food and start to eat again and he was right it is a little cold but still good.
