Forbidden Love

They both stopped and looked up at the same time. “Um, hi dad.” Stephan said.

“Hi Mr. Robertson.”

“HelloVictoria, I think you need to leave,” he said giving her a less than nice look.

“Okay then,” she stuttered then got Stephan off of her and buttoned back up her shirt and grabbed her book bag off the floor and left the room. For a second she paused outside the door expecting to hear yelling, but there was nothing. She gave up on the cause and left thinking how great all that was, and what she had missed out on for years without telling him…maybe she should tell him more stuff. She looked at the clock. It was aboutnoon. ‘Wow…I was in there for a while’ she thought, and then happily skipped off to lunch, rerunning what had just happened in her mind.

“Son, we need to talk.”

“How much of that did you see?”

“All of it.”

“In my defense she kissed me first.”

“Of course, it’s not like you were egging her on or anything.”

“I know dad…but it was great.”

“It was wrong.”

“How was it wrong, and besides if you saw the whole thing going on why did you pick now to come in?”

“Because, you were taking off her shirt.”

“So?”

“She was undoing your pants.”

“Your point to all this is?”

“You could have done something you would have regret.”

“Dad, I think I’m old enough to make my own choices.”

“No you’re not, you’re too young to be doing things like that.”

“I’m 17.”

“And she’s 16.”

“Why does that matter?”

“Because, you shouldn’t be touching her like that, or at all.”

“Dad I love her, and she loves me…we were just…making up.”

“Regardless, you shouldn’t be doing that.”

“We didn’t do anything!”

“You were about to.”

“No we weren’t”

“Stephan…”

“Well, we might have, but there’s nothing saying that we were for sure. Why do you care anyway?”

“You have to end this.”

“What? Why?”

“This is getting to far. She’s going to hurt you.”

“How could she hurt me when she loves me?”

“You’re living in a dream world. Can’t you remember, just this weekend you were hurting yourself just because she said something. What if she did something? Then what?”

“That was before. She admitted she loved me. Now everything is great.” 

“You’re wrong. I demand you break up with her today, or else.”

 “Or else what? I’m a big boy now, what are you going to do if I don’t, take away my toys, my computer, my phone. You can take anything and I woke care.”

 “I’ll take her away from you.”

“Dad that’s gross she would never date you.”

 “Not like that. I’d kick her out of the house, and if she’s out of the house then she’s out of the school too. Who knows where she would go then, she might have to move pretty far away to find some foster parents to take care of her, who knows if you’d ever see her again.”

 "You wouldn’t” 

“Try me.”

“Please don’t. Please.”

“Then break up with her. End all this.”

“But if I do, she’ll still live with us, still be there at all times.”

“No she won’t, I’ll find her a place to live and she can still go to school here.”

“So you’re taking her away no matter what I do?”

“It’s for your own good.”

“Dad…you’re a monster!” He yelled and then ran out of the room and into his private dorm.  He almost took out his knife but then figuredVictoriawouldn’t like it too much, so he just took some pain meds and went to sleep.
