Fine & Fearless

Chapter 2

-hours later-

Me and my sisters were supposed to go to dads house and me and Cris were supposed to stay with him and his wife until we finished college but I guessed the plan changed cause when I asked are we going there, they all said no. So Devin got out my truck and got in Cris' and they went to the dorms.... I didn't plan on staying with my dad either even though my mom planned for us to but I still am going to visit/meet him.

I haven't seen my dad since I was born so of coarse I don't remember him. I know his name is Emilio Carter and he's Bulgarian. He lives in Sandy, Utah and the school I'm going to is University of Utah in Salt Lake City which is 23 minutes away from Dads house. Dad thinks I'm living with him too because that's what him and mom established over the summer but that would be awkward and I have better plans. My bestfriend, Bianca, moved into apartments in Salt Lake City awhile ago for college and she said that there is an extra room on the floor above in the apartment she stays in with another person. They go half on rent.

-15 minutes later-
I stepped out the car very nervous. I walked up to the door and hesitated to ring the doorbell but I had to. Minutes later a women answered with a comforter wrapped around her body and messy hair.
"Can I help you ?"
"Um I'm- I'm um I'm Erin"
"That's a boys name"
"It kinda runs in the family. My grandmas name was Cory, my moms name is Wesley and my sisters names are Peyton, Devin, and Cris. So my name is-" I stopped talking once she slammed the door in my face. I tried to be as nice and social as possible cause I knew exactly who she was and what she was doing. She has to be my dad's wife and they were just having sex. How could he forget that I was coming today. This is not a good way to start off our relationship. I bit my pink full bottom lip as tears filled my eyes but I held them back. I looked at the wooden floor below me, as strands of my wavy brown hair fell in front of my face I watched as a single tear hit the ground. I raised my head up and walked back to my truck.
I started the car as my phone played Death Valley by Fall Out Boy. I slid the green answer button to the right looking at the contact and thankfully it was my bestfriend Bianca.
"Hello" I said with my voice shaky and weak. Most people would try as hard as the could to not sound like they were just crying when they answer a phone call but I didn't need to do that with Bianca. She's my bestfriend and has always been there for me. She's my everything.
" Ummm what's wrong Erin?" She asked curiously. I kept quiet and pulled off. Another tear came down my cheek.
"It was my um..." I couldn't finish the sentence and I don't think I want to.
"YOUR DAD! YOUR DAD IS THE REASON YOURE CRYING RIGHT NOW!? " she yelled obviously upset.
"Mhm" I said driving from his house. She paused for a minute
"....What did he do Erin?" She said in a low voice trying to calm down. It took me awhile to answer cause honestly it's overwhelming
".....Bianca.... HE FORGOT I WAS COMING!" I said beginning to fully cry, "His horrible wife answered with a comforter wrapped around her and messy hair. She asked could she help me and I said my name is Erin and that motherfucking bitch told me my name was a boys name like naw bitch but I was so fucking polite that I told her that it kinda ran in the family and she fucking slammed the door in my face as I was talking. The fact that he left me, my mom, and my 3/4 sisters behind for 17 years and when I finally give him a chance he forgets about me and is fucking having sex with this rude motherfucking bitch on the day I'm moving into college and the day that I see him after 17 years is totally disgusting."
"Oh my god Erin! I'm so sorry to hear that. But I totally know what would make you feel better. Where are you heading now?"
"The apartment"
"Great. Come by my room and me and Colton will help you unpack" she hung up immediately before I could even ask who Colton was.

I'm a couple minutes away from the apartment and I forgot to call my mom. I unlocked my iPhone and called her.
"Hello Darling" my mom said.
"Hey mom"
"HOW DID IT GO ?!" She sounded really anxious but I decided to lie cause I know if I told her what really happened she would probably be upset my dad forgot about me which would totally piss her off and she would call my dad and curse him out so badly.
"It was Great, I'm just going out with Bianca now"
"Give me more details. Was he welcoming, is the house ni-" I cut her off cause I knew I wouldn't be able to make up lies off the top of my head
"Bye mom. I'm driving. Call you later" I said hanging up.

Bianca's POV

"COLTON !" I yelled.
"What?" He said coming into the living room sitting down. Colton is my apartment buddy. We met each other online cause we both needed to go half on rent with somebody cause neither of us can afford the whole thing so we decided to move in together.
"My friend is on her way and she is moving into the apartment upstairs and were gonna help her"
"I'm not"
"Yes you are. Do you seriously think two teenage girls can pick up all that stuff and were gonna need an extra hand anyway."
"Is she hot?" Colton asks. I tried to act like I didn't care but deep down it kinda hurt just a little since we've made out a couple times.
"That's not the point but you're coming right?" I asked. He nodded. I jumped and dropped my phone as the doorbell rang and scared me. Colton chuckled and bit his lip as I stood up to get the door. I knew he was looking at me from behind and I felt good that he was.

Erin's POV
Bianca answered and I felt joy when I saw her face light up. She hugged me tight. She looked at me and her green eyes and bright smile actually made me feel a little happy.
"HEY BOO !" She said smiling even wider.
"Hey!" I said. My voice was a little raspy from crying and I couldn't really smile big and bright like Bianca but she knew I was sad...but still happy to see her. She stepped out the way to let me inside and as I stepped in I saw a tall masculine boy sitting down in a white comfortable looking chair on his phone. I looked at him and my lips separated. He looked up at me very quickly and went back to his phone but looked up at me again and longer this time.
"Erin this is my apartment buddy, Colton. Colton this is my bestfriend Erin" I stepped closer to him as he stood up. He reached out his hand and I grabbed it and we shake.
"Hey" he said. His voice deep and manly. I smiled and looked into his gorgeous blue eyes.
"Come on y'all" Bianca said behind me leaving the room. I turned around and began to walk out and I knew Colton was looking at me.
I opened the apartment door and was completely shocked. Furniture was already inside.
"What the hell" I said slowly.
