My Crush

Chapter 11

"Lacey! You need to get out of bed baby, go see your dad"

"Can't I just stay in bed all week?!" I asked my uncle.

"Come on baby, I'll drive"

I sighed as I got up took a shower and changed "thank you"

"Are you feeling better?" My uncle asked me.

"No" I admitted.

"You'll be okay Lace" he held my hand "you are your mother's daughter"

I smiled, Uncle Anthony parked the car as we went into the rehabilitation center.

I walked into my dad's room "are you sober dad?"

"Yes" he sighed "yes Lace"

My uncle left him alone as I sat down next to me my dad "I need you to get help dad please for mom, for Emma and I... We need you to get better"

He sighed "Lacey, it's not that easy"

"Would you look at me!" I yelled at my dad as he looked at me "you think this is easy for me?! Seeing my dad as a fuck up! That's what you are dad! You are a fuck up and you have been since mom died! You know why she died?!"

"Lacey please" my dad sighed as there were tears in both of our eyes "you don't have to say it"

"Lacey baby, maybe we should go"

"You killed her!" I yelled as my uncle wrapped his arms around my waist and dragged me around.

"Why would you say that to him Lace?" My uncle asked me.

"He did Uncle Anthony! That's why no one knows what happened to her!"

"Lacey baby, look at me... Is this true?"

I looked into my uncle's eyes as I fell apart "yes" no one knew but my father and I.

My uncle held me in his arms as tight as he possibly can. He told me to get into the car as he went inside, when he came back I noticed his bloody knuckles.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Why didn't you tell me Lacey?"

"Because I was afraid if I said it then it would of been real... I was embarrassed, he killed her in front of me Uncle Anthony and I didn't want to lose my dad after I just lost my mom"

"Well he's going to jail baby"

"No! Please"

"He needs face what he did baby"

"Take me to Harry's please"

"Sure baby"

He drove me to Harry's "want me to stay?"

"No, I'll be fine"

I got out of the car and went up to the front door. I knocked as Gemma opened the door.

"Lacey, are you okay love?"

"No" I laughed "listen um is Harry here? I really need to talk to him right now"

"Um he doesn't want to see you Lace, I'm sorry"

"Please Gem, tell him my dad's going to jail"

"I will, stay right here"

I sat down on the bench he has on his porch. I sighed as I looked down at my hands as I heard the door open, I was scared to look up and see Gemma.

"What happened Lacey?" I looked up and it was Harry.

"Listen I know you left and I really don't want to be here but I didn't know where else to go"

"What happened?" He asked me again.

"The truth came out" I told him "I had all this anger built up inside me that when I saw my dad I lost it... No one knew what actually happened to my mom but my dad and I"

Harry's hand moved up my arm and he entwined his hand with mine "it's okay Lace"

I sobbed "Harry" I shook my head as he took me in his arms "he killed her Harry! He killed... Her"

He held me and rocked me back and forth until I stopped crying "I need you in my life" I sat back and looked at him "please Harry..."

"Okay love, okay... But it's complicated"

"Yeah and you won't tell me about it"

"I don't want anyone to know about it"

"I'm not anyone" I got up "you can tell me for god's sake you know basically about my whole life"

"I know Lacey, I need time can you give me that?"

"So what back to strangers?" I asked him.

"Strangers with some memories" Harry tells me.

"Do you mind driving me back?"

"Sure"

This is the last time I'll talk to Harry until I don't know when. I got back inside to the house and just spent sometime with Emma and John. I needed a distraction for once and get my mind off Harry.
