I trudge through the Melbourne airport. I decided to cut my visit short a week as we were just lying around miserable and I figured that Tori didn't need to share the burden I held. I spot mum and run towards her. We hug before she leads me to the car. We sit in silence so I decide to pull my phone out and check Twitter and Instagram. Before I know it I'm smiling like crazy. There are loads of trending hashtags all consisting of things such as #welcomebackash, #ashtonsback and #ashreturns; and loads of other ones.
Ivy: Thank you Luke.
Luke replies almost straight away.
Luke: For what?
Ivy: With Ashton. Thank you for making up and getting back together. Now we can all move on.
Luke: Oh yeah. It's really great to have Ash back. Ivy did you want to meet up?
Ivy: I'm sorry Luke I can't.
Luke: Please Ivy. I just want to see you one more time.
Ivy: No Luke, like even if I wanted to, I can't, I'm in Melbourne again.
Luke: Oh.
•••••••••••••••••••
When we get home I set down my suitcase and flop onto the bed. I lie there for possibly 5 minutes before the house phone rings. We have several phones placed throughout the house, so we can answer them. There is one in my room so I pick it up.
"Hello?" I speak into the phone.
"Hello who is this?" A rough deep voice speaks into the phone.
"Umm this is Ivy Harp. Can I help you?" I ask unsure.
"Oh I would like to speak to your mother." They say.
I call for mum before eventually finding her in the kitchen. I hand her the phone saying some man wanted to talk to her. She looks startled and snatches the phone away immediately. I give her a strange look and walk away back into my room.
After a minute or two I hear muffled shouting and talking. Must be mum on the phone. The phone! I remember that all the other phones are connected throughout the house so I sneak into the study and grab the phone from there. I know it's wrong to listen to other people's conversations but mum hardly ever screams over the phone. I pick it up and notice mums voice straight away.
"Paul that is not going to happen." She spits.
"Molly please." The deep voice pleads. Well he obviously knows my mum.
"It's not going to happen end of story. You are not meeting my daughter." She says. Why would he want to meet me?
"Molly it's our daughter. I'm her father I have the right to see her." That's my dad?
"No Paul. You lost that right 15 years ago. Not bothering to tell me about your special ability and then passing it on to my daughter!" She shouts. Special ability? As in my invisibility? Mum knows and Dad, well Paul gave it to me? He doesn't have the right to be called my Dad, he left.
"I only lost that right because you sent me away! Said you never wanted to see me again! I want to see my daughter because she's just as much mine as she is yours!" I put down the phone. This is obviously meant to be something private. But all these years; filled with lies. Mum said that Dad - Paul had just got up and left us. I thought I was the only one with this ability - that has turned out to be more of a problem. But Mum knew and Paul has it.
I can't handle all this new information by myself. I would talk to mum about my problem, except this is one she can't know about. I would go to a friend, except my only one is Tori - and she's in Sydney.
