The Truth Hurts- Niall Horan love story

Chapter Four- A Different Person

          

"Hello?"

"Dad?" I coughed up my throat becoming tight all of a sudden

"Hey Emi! I can't believe this. Look I know you probably have a lot of questions, but I want to say I am really sorry. I really am. Emi I didn't want to hurt you in anyway at all. It kills me that I did, honestly, I wish I could make it up to you. And your mother. I am working on becoming better person. I miss you Emi." My dad explained

"Dad. Where have you been? You just left without saying goodbye." I explained feeling all the hurt I thought I had forgotten.

"I'm sorry. Work just took over my life. I am ashamed of what I have done. I've been in America. My job gave me the promotion of a lifetime and I couldn't turn it down. I had to leave to give you and your mother the best life. Turns out you're doing just fine without me." My dad said I wiped the tears that had escaped my eyes

"But why? Why just not say anything. Mum was in pieces when you left without saying anything." I burst into tears, I cannot do this anymore

"Emi I really am sorry. Look I am moving back to the UK soon, my work doesn't need me over here anymore. I will let you know when I am back. I know you, your mother and I need a long chat. I got to get back to work but I'll talk soon. I love you." And the line went dead. I laid down on my bed and just started crying, I heard a gentle knock on my bedroom door and Sam appeared with a mug in her hand

"Hey, if you need space, take as long as you need. Kylie has fallen asleep watching the film. Do you want me to stay?" I shook my head "I made you your favourite. I'll be in my room if you need me." Sam placed the mug down on my bedside table and shut the door of my room and I just began to cry.

** THE NEXT DAY **

"Come guys, I have the cast list here. I will reveal all by the end of the session. But first, I have an announcement. Judy is now on maternity leave, she helped me with the casting but now she must take it easy for the baby's sake. But we have Richard helping us now, and hopefully Judy can come and visit rehearsals when the baby is here." Jamie said beaming about his girlfriend. Everyone cheered and clapped. "Okay right lets get this session going."

"Em you okay? You're really spaced out." Louis said as we started the pair work Jamie set.

"Hmm? Yeah, I'm ok. Sorry didn't really get much sleep last night." I said to him we both sat on the floor I glanced at the script work that Jamie gave us

"Hey, look I know I hardly know you, but this is like I'm seeing a different person. I think this is more than just no sleep." Louis said he took the paper out of my hands I sighed and buried my face in my hands "Hey, let it out. It's going to be okay." He said he put his arm around me and before I knew it I felt more arms go around me.

"What's going on here? This isn't the work I set. Emilia, Sam my office. Everyone else carry on." Sam took my hand and helped me off the floor as we made our way to Jamie's office.

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling myself today." I said as Jamie shut the door to his office and Sam and I sat down on the chairs

"What's going on?" Jamie asked. I sighed looking at Sam and I told him everything that happened with my dad and poured my whole childhood out. I cannot do this anymore. Once I had stopped talking Jamie leant forwards his hands clasped together "Look, I'm not going to sit here and tell you everything will be easy because it isn't going to be, but I will tell you for a fact that I am here, and Sam is here all your classmates are here for you to lean on. If you need anything come and talk to me. Distract yourself focus on the musical and we will be there if you need anything at all."
