Unexpected (Angelina Jolie)

Chapter 28. Johnny Lee Miller

"Soph! Hear me out!" Angelina says sternly. A million thoughts go through my head all at once; I want to run up and hug him yet I also want to damage him for the way he hurt me. I could never have done what he did.

"So-"

"SHUT UP JASON!" I scream and his face fills with shock. "As for you," I point towards Angelina, "Why the hell should I listen to you when you obviously don't listen to me! You knew I never wanted to see him again!" I lower my voice when referring to Angelina. I know she just wants to help but I can handle things on my own; if I wanted to speak to Jason I'm pretty sure I could just ring him up by myself!

"Kids go upstairs," Angelina demands and they all scurry up and probably into Maddox's room. "Sophie, how do you expect to fix anything in life if you never listen! Do you really think I would bring Jason here if I thought for one minute he had cheated on you?!? No! I would be out hunting him down and kicking his ass! You need to learn to give people a chance!" All the way through Angelina's rant her voice kept rising and rising. She has no reason to hold back now that the kids were out the way and neither did I.

"And what about my chance? What about when I was born? Did you give me a chance? No! You gave up on me! You put me up for adoption, and then 15 years later you think it's okay to waltz back in like nothing ever happened! You didn't give me a chance yet I still gave you one! Look where that has got me! Ever since I've known you my life has been destroyed! Jason doesn't deserve a second chance and neither did you!" Grabbing my phone I run out of the back door, past the swimming pool and tennis court until I find a weeping willow tree. Sitting under it I pull out my phone and look up a famous name. The name of my father...Johnny Lee Miller. It wasn't that hard to find his agents E-mail address and as my e-mail is now private, I wrote it with Angelina's name at the end asking if Johnny could meet up at the house at 11 am tomorrow morning to meet his daughter. I wish I was there to see the shocked look on his face as I'm sure - knowing Angelina - that she didn't tell him.

I wait for it to get dark before sneaking into the house and into my bedroom. The house was was quiet so I assume Jason must have gone home...He should never have came here in the first place. Jumping onto my bed and spreading out across it, I check for any replies. I get one from a very formal looking e-mail address.

Dear Angelina.

Regarding your unexpected e-mail about our daughter, I am very shocked at this news.

I will gladly visit tomorrow and discuss Sophie's living arrangements. You and Brad must have your hands full with 6 children already and I have always wanted a Child of my own.

Looking forward to Tomorrow.

Yours truly

Johnny.

Wait... Living arrangements? I just wanted to meet him! It would have felt awkward asking Angelina but now I see why she has never spoken about Johnny...He would have wanted me to live with him. My throat starts to close over as panic rushes through my body like a river, I take the stairs one step at a time until I'm stood in front of Brad and Angelina. She just gives me a look of disgrace but Brad looks at me with concerned eyes.

"Soph, what's wrong." He asks and Angelina just huffs in the background, Brad gives her a warning look and she throws her hands up in surrender.

"My d-dad." I mumble.

"Yes, your dad. Do you miss him?" Brad's voice is filled with sympathy. I never really told Brad and Angie about my dad, he died when I was still young and I never found out how.

"Not my dad, well he is my dad. My real dad." I glance over to Angelina with guilty and pleading eyes, she moves to the edge of her seat raising one eyebrow to encourage me to continue. "Johnny..." After that one word she shoots up and starts to pace around the room. "I'm so sorry! I had a sudden urge to meet him and I-I e-mailed him under your name. He's coming over tomorrow to discuss my living arrangements. He wants me to move in! I can't leave the kids!" I slid down the back wall slowly while sobbing my heart out. I can hear Angelina's muffles behind her hands.

Brad brings Angelina over, he sits between us on the floor, "Sophie you won't leave. We wont let him take you. We just need to tell him that you will be staying with us." Angelina cuts him off.

"Brad, you know Johnny wont let the situation go that easy. He has already tried to take my kids away before!"

"Yes but he failed! You're a good mother Ange. We will win this fight." He tightens his grip around us, embracing us in a hug.
