My new family

CHAPTER 3

     What!!

He said it this time clearer than before

You're my daughter

****************************************************************

Ok Mr.Jackson

First you blurt out my mom's name and now you're telling me I'm your daughter

Who the hell does that!!!

Then I heard Owen mutter "He just did"

I guess he was right but what is this bullshit this man is talking about?

Umm Annabeth look I've been looking for you for years and it hasn't been long since I found out about your mother's death.

He looked hurt and sincere but I didn't care.

Why did the richest man in my town suddenly show up at my doorstep claiming to be my father.

None of this made any sense!

I looked at Lucas and he was as confused as I was.

Owen didn't even seem to care.

Ok let's say she's your daughter where have you been all these years why did you even leave her mother in the first place and why the hell are you showing up now?

This time it wasn't me asking the questions it was Lucas, and it was as if he read my mind cos that was exactly what I wanted to ask him.

I turned to look at Jackson,

and he looked hurt and pissed.

Maybe because it was Lucas that asked.

Hey, Mr. Jackson, they're family so feel free to say anything here.

His face seemed to scream why are these people your family,

but that was the least of my problems now.

**************************************************************

So, you're trying to say you dated my mom, but you didn't know she was pregnant with your child when she left you.

I swear that's what happened.

 I've been looking for both of you for years and somehow, she was admitted into one of the hospitals owned by my family on the day of the accident and died there.

That's how I found out about her death and some clues that led me to you.

He looked really hurt talking about mom's death and I kinda felt bad for him, but I needed to figure out if he was telling the truth.

Besides it wouldn't hurt to have a rich father. 

Eh Ehm anyways

What's the name of the hospital you were talking about.

I knew the hospital he was talking about, but I still needed to confirm

Silver linings health center.

A tear dropped when he mentioned the name. It was the place where I lost my mom. She was the most precious person in the whole world to me but some stupid hit and run driver took her away from me.

What the hell was wrong with these hit and run drivers.

It wouldn't hurt to take responsibility for your actions,

and according to the doctor if my mom had come a few seconds earlier she would have been saved.

If that driver had at least taken her to a hospital immediately then she would probably be here now.

Who knew how long she lay there in the cold with no one to save her and the pain she felt.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice that I was bawling my eyes out and Lucas was inches away from killing the poor guy.

I stopped him and calmed him down.

Lucas stop!

Sorry for the trouble Jackson.

He didn't even mind and seemed to be really concerned that I was crying.

It's nothing I guess I've heard the name a few times but you saying it now kinda hit a spot.

Don't mind Lucas, I told you he was family.

I smiled and calmed Lucas down.

Well, a little

His gaze seemed to have softened a little, but he still looked pretty concerned.

I'll think about what you said can you pls come back again next time?

I knew he'd be hurt but I didn't want to follow him with just that tiny bit of evidence and I still needed some time to process everything.

The look on his face screamed dejected but I didn't have time to think of other people I had my own feelings to sort out.

Ok but can you at least give me your number

Sorry but my phone is unavailable.

I mean it 

Ok then see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Well, I should expect him at the least. 

I guess the drama hasn't ended yet.

Who knows maybe this is just the beginning.
