On my own-lewis Hamilton

Chapter 20

"Can we play with your makeup?" My little cousin willow asks as she looks through my makeup draws.

"Sure, but why don't we take it downstairs so we can be with everyone else?" I say while smiling at her.

She nods as she helped me pick up the draws of the makeup I have. I still wanted more makeup but dad never lets me get any since he doesn't think it's appropriate for me to wear loads at my age.

It was a few days after Christmas but everyone was back round. We all tried to make the most of it since dad's hardly ever around so it is quite hard to ever see any family.

We finally get to the lounge where we place it on the floor. "What are you two doing?" I hear dad ask confused

"We are doing our makeup!" I hear willow say excitedly.

"You can pick one lipgloss to put on" I say as I put blush on her.

I can hear her rummaging around my basket of lipglosses.

"This one!" She says excited as she picks one out. I look up as I see she's holding my vape.

I quickly grab it out of her hand and put it back in the box. Berried deep down.

"Why don't you choose a different one, that one doesn't look very nice" I say hoping no one was paying attention.

"Emma grace! Come here now!" I hear dad say in a stern angry tone.

I walk over to him nervously as I know he's seen it. I'm dreading what he's going to do. He's going to be so angry...

He gets up as he walks all the way upstairs to his bedroom. I follow him knowing it's going to be bad. I know he went up there so everyone else can't hear what's going on but I got a feeling everyone saw..

I look up at him as I can see the fury in his eyes. This isn't what he's normally like when he's angry. It's more intense, something I've never seen before. My heart races as I know how badly I've messed up.

"What the hell is that, Emma!" He shouts in anger. I feel slightly scared, I've never seen him this angry before.

I take a slight step back before replying "what was what?" I say trying to act dumb hoping he might think it was a mistake.

"Don't act dumb with me young lady! You know very well what that was, why the fuck have you got a vape!" He shouts again

"It's not mine it's Chloe's, she gave it to me so she wouldn't get caught by her parents" I say quickly trying to find an excuse. "I promise I wouldn't ever vape" I say innocently trying to convince him.

Dad glares at me. As his eyes narrow as he studies my face, searching for any signs of dishonesty. My heart races as I try to hold his gaze, hoping for him to believe me.

After what feels like an eternity, I see his shoulders relax slightly. "You promise me you're telling the truth?" He says while looking at me.

"I promise, it's Chloe's and I will give it back to her tomorrow" I say as I know I'm meeting up with her.

I look back at him as I see the anger from his face drain to a concerned look. "Emma you should have told me straight away, I don't want you ever being in situations like this. Even if it's for your best friend"

I nod. "I promise I will if anything ever happens again"

"Ok good, but if I ever catch you vaping or doing anything like this ever again you're in big trouble" he says seriously.
