Loving Lia

Chapter 3

Lia

After a long ass bus ride I finally reached the Upper East Side. I walked to the apartment mom gave me and went to 14A. I knocked and when the door opened I couldn't believe my eyes. It was dad in a business suit. All my life I've seen him in pretty shitty clothes so this felt like a whole new person.

"Hi dad" I said

"Hey honey, come on in!" He cheered giving me a hug.

I walked in and saw the kitchen and the living room all dolled up. It was spectacular for a two bed apartment.

"Do you like it?"

" I love it dad!"

He showed me to my room and i started to unpack. My room was light blue with many pictures around the room. The pictures was of my dad and me when I was a baby. Like he has been waiting for me to come. I had a full sized bed with white covers. It was an amazing room.  I finished unpacking and went to go find dad. I found him in the kitchen with a newspaper.

"Hey dad" I said sitting next to him.

"Hey pumpkin, way to go see the city? I have work at 12 until 7. I'll have dinner ready at 7:30." He said a little too sweetly.

I nodded and headed to my room to get my bag. I walked down to the elevator and saw a familiar face.

"Hi Bridget!" I exclaimed

"Hey Lia! What's up?" She said back.

Bridget and I go really far back. We've known each other since we were babies. I decided to hang with her and show me around. Time flew so fast and I didn't want to leave her. I finally got myself back to the room. I opened the door and saw a fancy set up at the table. It was set for two and there was a butler at the breakfast bar. I put my stuff away and greeted the butler.

"Miss Lia your father will be back soon. He has told me to give you a head start with dinner." He said.

I sat down and started to feast all different foods. Midway finished eating dad came in and sat down. He looked really tired and out of breath.

"Dad are you ok?" I asked

"Yes pumpkin, I just had a hard day at work" he said.

After dinner I got up to take a shower and saw walked by dad room. I stuck my head in and saw that there was a girl tied to a chair. I shrieked and fell back. I stumbled then ran to the bathroom. I liked myself in and sat on the ground with my head in my hands. After a while I got up took the shower. When I finished I tiptoed to my room and got ready for bed. I scrolled through Twitter trying to forget what I have seen. Maybe it was a fake person. Or it could be a hologram? I didn't know what to think. I was trying to decide whether I should text Damian or not but he beat me to it.

'Hey Lia its Damian wanted to see how your doing. Also wanted to know if we can hang out tomorrow.'

'Yeah I'm ok and that sounds great! Meet you at the basketball court on upper east.'

After I sent the message I quickly fell asleep.
