A Little Cinderella Moment

Chapter 103

Walking into the house I brace myself for my father's wrath. I head on into the lounge to see my father sitting on the couch with what looks like a coffee in his hand and a very pissed off look on his face.
"Good morning Savannah," Dad says so coldly.
"Morning Dad, did you stay up all night waiting for me?"
"In some form of way yes, I have young lady. Care to explain yourself?" What has gotten into him? Why is he so pissed at me for falling asleep in a car and staying outside the house in said car?
"I fell asleep in the car on our way back from Hollywood. It's as simple as that, I didn't technically break my word Dad I did come home. But why I woke up still in Chase's car I don't know you'll have to ask him about that. What I don't know is why you're getting on my case when you're sat there still in the same clothes as yesterday too. Care to explain yourself, Dad?"
Dad stands up in a fury of rage dropping his cup on the floor and it shatters around his feet and points a finger in my direction. "Don't you dare answer back to your father Savannah, your mother and I raised you better than this, your attitude surely has changed since we moved here. Is it because of that boy?"
"What?"
"You heard me Savannah, I know you're smarter than that. Now answer my question. Is it because of Chase Lockwood on why your attitude has changed?"
"No, Dad it's not, just shows how much trust you do have for me, and that's none. Now I've answered yours, answer mine. How come you are in the same clothes as yesterday? Did you fall asleep in your office again? Buring yourself so deep into work so you have no chance to think about Mom not being here?" Dad looks at me in bewilderment. "Didn't think I would notice Dad, but Mom has been gone for years and you have worked your ass off to the bone that you are falling asleep on numbers." Tears start streaming down my face, I have not had an argument like this with my dad since the week my mom died years ago. "I miss her too Dad, but you don't see me destroying myself, so I don't have time to miss her. I get on with my life and I live it just how I know she would want me to, it's about damn time you did the same."
I turn on my heel and storm out of the lounge, head towards the bowl that holds the car keys in it near the door, grab my car keys, and run out the door leaping into my car and driving down the driveway. As I was walking out all I could hear behind me was my father shouting out my name continuously trying to stop me from going. "SAVANNAH!"
Once I leave the grounds I drive somewhere. Anywhere. I don't really care right now. I don't really have anywhere I could go; I can't go to the Lockwood's house as that's the first place he would look for me. Selena and her family went to Texas yesterday for some huge family second Christmas or something so I can't go to her place. I can't go to either Greg's or Lucas' because it won't just be my dad who would kill them. Chase would too. So, I'm out of options, unless I go to the one place I felt her for the first time since I moved to the west coast. The beach, surely nobody will find me there.
