Chapter 19 - Trouble

AHHH GUYS I JUST HIT 1K READS!! THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO INCREDIBLE SUPPORTING MY WORK SO MUCH!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY, THIS CHAP IS FOR YOU GUYS❤️

I ran my fingers through my hair, nervously biting my nails as I stared at the computer screen. I just have to click on the site; that was all. Just one click and a quick read, and all my anxiousness would go away.

I glanced at the window, watching as the curtains softly blowed in the wind, a certain absence haunting my room. I felt disconnected. Alone. I had isolated myself from dad and Katy again tonight, because I couldn't stand the thought of being anywhere near them. Katy still refused to talk to me, and dad was still bitter. I felt like a criminal in my own damn house.

I jumped as my door was pushed open, dad standing in the doorway. I sat up, lowering the computer screen. He looked at me, eyebrows slightly furrowed, what had I done wrong now?

"Katy and I are going to be away for the next half week. Business trip. We leave tomorrow night, you're going to be alone for most of the week again."

I felt my body relax slightly at his words; finally, time alone to myself. I had been waiting for his next business trip, and it honestly came at perfect time. I softly nodded in response.

"You know the rules. No parties, no boys, no late nights out, no people coming over. We're really trusting you here, Stella. We're trusting you won't cause any more trouble then you currently are." Dad sternly said, leaning against the frame of the door. I snorted in response.

"What trouble am I currently causing?" I softly laughed.

"You know. That boy, Calum or whatever his name is."

"Calum is causing me trouble?"

"He's bad news for you, Stella. He's forcing you in to things and he's distracting you from your school work!" He said, shrugging. I felt my cheeks flush.

"My god, dad, he's not forcing me in to anything." I mumbled, shaking my head.

"I just don't want you seeing him anymore, okay? No more. He's banned from this house and he's banned from you." He simply said, standing up straight. My mouth fell open slightly as I stared at him.

"Dad, you can't ban me from him."

"I can," he shrugged. "And I just did. If I come back and find out that you've been seeing him, so help me Stella, I will send you to a boarding school where you can't get up to anything behind my back." He threatened.

He cannot do this. My father can't ban me from seeing the one person who meant absolutely everything to me... I needed Calum. Even when everything was so confusing right now, I needed him and it hurt me that my own father didn't even care.

"You can't do this." I managed to choke out.

"Just don't. My mind has been made. No more fooling around with Calum, or you're off to a boarding school, and don't think I'm not serious."

I remained quiet, staring at dad in disbelief. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A fucking boarding school? Was he honestly fucking serious? There was absolutely no was I was ever going to a boarding school. But even then, I'd find a way to see Calum. I wouldn't let anything get in the way of us and I knew Calum wouldn't, either.

Dad left my room, shutting my bedroom door behind him. I opened my computer, trying to regulate my breathing as I noticed how worked up I was.

To think dad was even going to attempt to keep me and Calum apart was fucking insane. The first guy I've ever even liked and wanted to be with, and my own father tries to keep me away from him. I was going to allow that. There was no way I was going to let dad win this battle, because he'd already overruled almost every other thing in my life, this was something he was not going to control.

I confidentially clicked the link on my computer, slightly sitting back as the information flooded on my screen. I took in a shaky breath. There was going to be a lot of confronting things here... I was about to find out a lot of shit about Calum. A lot of truth, because I needed the closure.

And here it was.

((The websites information will be in the next chapter. There will kinda be no interactions n whatever it'll just be information on Calum and what he is....
Hope you guys are liking everything so far❤️❤️))
