Angelo's daughter

Ch 8

Bay took a step back crossing her arms across her chest. "Why didn't Regina tell me about you?"

"I lived with my dad, Angelo, in Italy. We moves here two days ago."

"Wait." Bay held up her hand. "He's here? In Kansas City?"

"Yes."

My phone rang. Dad. I winced. "Uh, guys, I have to take this."

Bay nodded. "Okay." She turned around walking away.

"Yeah?" I said answering the phone.

"Sweetie?" dad said. "Where are you?"

"I made a friend?" I said hesitantly. "I'm at his house."

I turned around as Regina and Daphne walked in.

"That's great, honey. Where are you?"

"Umm.. mission hills? I'm at the Kennish's dad."

"Is Regina there?"

"Uh... yeah.."

"She knows-?"

"Not yet."

"Ill pick you up at 8 sweetie, have a good time. "

"Okay. Bye dad."

Dad hung up. I froze as I turned around facing Daphne and Regina.

"Okay," Toby said quickly. "Now let's go out to the studio.."

"Wait," Daphne said looking at me. "I know you."

"Oh." I nodded. "We met at Buckner."

"What?" Regina looked at Daphne signing while she spoke. "You've met her?"

"Yeah," Daphne said. "She was on the Buckner tour. Desiree, right?"

"Right. I should..."

And then Jasper walked in. I swallowed. We looked alike, a lot alike. Damn. I had to get out of here.

"Hey, mom, I'm-" he stopped mid sentence. "Fuck. We look alike."

"I umm," I stammered nervously. "Yeah. I guess."

Regina closed her eyes. Toby held up a hand grabbing my arm and tugging on it. "Desiree and i were gonna go to my studio."

"Y-yeah," I agreed swallowing. "We were gonna... make a song..?"

"You sing?" Jasper asked curiously.

"Umm yeah. I play the guitar and piano."

"Sweet," Jasper grinned. "It was nice to meet you. Hey, mom?" We all looked at Regina. "Are you okay?"

"Regina?" Toby asked sounding concerned.

I took a step towards her reaching out my hand. She held her hand up stopping me.

I took a step back hurt. "Well, are you.."

"I'm fine," Regina swallowed. "Fine."

Kathryn walked in and she smiled when she saw me. "Hi, sweetie."

"Hey."

"Sorrento, right?" Desiree Sorrento?"

I swallowed and nodded. "Yeah. Hey, can you excuse me please? I .. umm forgot something in.. Bay's studio.."

Kathryn nodded. "Toby, help me set the table please."

"Sure, mom." Toby gave me a sympathetic look. "I'll be right back."

I shrugged turning and walking out of the house as quickly as I could. I turned into.. was this Toby's garage? I sighed sitting down on the floor. I looked down at my hands and swallowed turning my phone on and dialing dads number. I had to get out of here.

Except he didn't pick up. I groaned dropping my head into my hands.

I closed my eyes hearing someone walk in. I peeked through my fingers. It was... Regina. I took a shaky breath.

"This doesn't look like Bay's garage," Regina said quietly stopping a few feet away from me.

"Who cares?" I rose wrapping my arms around me. "It was stupid. I shouldn't have come here." I turned around not wanting to face her. "It was a.. really bad idea.." I swallowed closing my eyes tightly.

My phone vibrated. A text from dad.

Dad: Everything okay, sweetie?

"Why did you come here?" Regina asked softly.

Ignoring dads text I turned around and swallowed. "I wanted to.. see you."

"Oh.."

I shook my head and smiled weakly. "Forget it. It was a dumb thing to do."

"Desiree, listen-"

"Hey, guys," Toby said waving as he walked over. "Dinners ready. Are you staying, Des?"

I nodded. "Dads picking me up at 8."

I sighed as Regina turned around walking away.

Yeah. She hated me.
