Sophia's POV
I was think about what Dec told me last night. That my mum died in the fire but my dad could still be alive. Then I started to wonder, my dad is someone Dec knows but he never told me who the name of my mum was. Well all of us are just had breakfast and something iswrong between Dec and Ashely because they won't look at each other, talk to each other, they even aren't siting close to each other like usual.3rd Person POV
"Right, I'll clean the dishes today." Said LISA She hadn't really done any work around the house so she wanted to do a bit of work.
"It's ok Lisa, I'll do it." Said Ashely, as she walked of to the kitchen.
"I'll do it!" Said Dec.
"No, I'll do, ok?" Said Ashely taking the dishes from the table.
"Nope, I'm the man in the house so I can handle it." Said Dec trying to take the dishes of her.
"You saying girls are useless?!" Shouted Ashely.
"I'm not! Just let me do it!" Shouted Dec, taking the plates away from her.
"I volunteered first!" Shouted Ashely trying to get the plates from him.
"So what!!" Shouted Dec. He pulled the plates away from her and the plates went crashing to the ground!
"Look at what you've done!" Said Dec.
"Me! I was going to clean the dishes then you want to do it! It's your fault!" Yelled Ashely.
"What's going on here!" Said Lisa as she walked in.
"It's Dec's fault!" Yelled Ashely
"You blaming me when it's your fault!" Shouted Dec.
"ENOUGH! I all ready have enough stress on my back, I don't need you two bickering all the time!" Yelled Lisa. The whole room went silent.
"Dec and Sophia, go pick up Ant and Ashely will stay here and help me out ok!" Said Lisa, calming down.
"Fine!" Yelled Dec as he grabbed his coat.
"Mummy, I want to stay with you!" Cried Sophia.
"Look, mummy is very busy but when you come back we can do what ever you want ok love!" Said Lisa as she hugged Sophia.
"Come on then, let's go pick up Ant then." Said Dec as he held Sophia's hand.Sophia's POV
I knew something was up between Dec and Ashely because the have an argument of the smallest things.
"Dec?" I asked.
"What?!" He snapped.
"Nothing." I said, not wanting to make him even angry.
"Sorry Sophia, I didn't mean snap at you like that!" He said as he opened the door so I could get in
"It doesn't matter." I say sinking into my car seat.
"Fine then." Said Dec, starting the engine. I kept quiet through the drive because I had I feeling that he knew who my dad was and he wouldn't tell me.
"You're quite today aren't you." Said Dec as we walked into the hospital.
"You know who my dad is but you won't tell me." I said.
"Why would I know who your dad is!" Said Dec.
"Just tell me who my mum and dad are and I won't tell anyone you told me!" I said back.
"I'm not going to tell you who your parents ok!" Said Dec.
"So you know who they are then!" Said Sophia.
"Just shut up! I don't want to tell you ok!" He says angrily. I don't say a word after that. We walked into my dads room.
"Daddy!" I said as ran to him and hugged him. He was all packed and ready to leave. We brought him home in the car and it was a weird car drive again.
"So what has my Sophia gotten up to?' Asked my dad in the car.
"Actually I've witnessed a fight between Dec and Ashely." I said, getting my own back.
"Are you and Ashely ok?" Asked my dad to Dec.
"Thanks for bringing that up." Said Dec.
"Dec, are you having problems with Ashely?" Asked my dad again.
"No I'm not!" Screamed Dec. Me and my dad kept quiet. When we got home things got ok, well for me it did, I don't know about Dec and Ashely.
"Can I go on the computer?" I asked my mum.
"What for?" She asked.
"To play games obviously!" I lied. My mum believed me and passed me the computer. I took it to mum room and went on the Internet.
"Declan Donnelly." I spelt out loud and typed his name in. I scrolled through news about him then saw an article that said....
"Declan Donnelly survives the fire." I read out loud. The date was 23rd of February which was the day I was taken to the care home. Now I can know who my dad could be. I'm not saying that he is 100% is my dad but he could be.
"Dec's my dad?" I ask myself.
"Our hand shape, we both sick our tongue out, same hair colour and eyes colour...." I say to myself.
"Dec!" I yell I the top of my lungs.
"Coming!" He says. He entered my room and saw what I was looking at on the Internet.
"What's this! You survived that fire but my mum Clare, died there because she was the only person there!" I yelled
"Clare, I don't know anyone called Clare!" He said.
"Wait! You said that Clare cheated on you but your my dad and she's my mum, so you were lying?!" I asked. He didn't reply.
"Clare didn't cheat on you!" I yell.
"When she became pregnant, I felt her and you because I wasn't ready for children ok!" He yelled. So Dec is my dad then......
