My Crush

Chapter 14

"Lacey baby" I looked at my uncle "you're not going to school today."

"Wait, why?" I asked my uncle.

"We're going to see your father today."

"You're going to be there right?"

"Of course, come on" my uncle grabbed my hand "Emma's coming too."

"I don't know how I feel about that."

"Let's see how it happens okay?" He asked me.

I nodded as we got in the car. I held Emma's hand as I texted Harry.

Lacey: I won't be in school today, going to see my dad with my uncle and Emma, can you stop by afterwards?

Harry: Yeah sure, let me know when you get back home

Lacey: I will

I held onto Emma's hand and my uncle's hand as we walked in. We walked in and sat down and waited for my dad. He walked in with his orange jumpsuit.

"Oh look at my babies" he sat down and looked at Emma and me "you look beautiful."

"How are you, dad?" I asked him.

"I've been sober for about two weeks now."

I smiled "I'm glad Dad, I just wanted my father back."

"Lacey, baby I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for not being the father you needed me to be; I'm sorry for doing what I did to your mother."

"So you admit it?" My uncle asked him.

"Yes... We weren't perfect. We've been fighting a lot."

"I can't believe this."

My uncle got up, and I told Emma to come along with me "Uncle Anthony it wasn't your fault!"

"I was her brother Lacey! She's supposed to come to me with a problem."

"She didn't want to go to anyone, trust me. She didn't want to bother anyone with this; she was embarrassed and ashamed..."

"But still."

"Please don't blame yourself, it isn't my fault or yours okay?"

My uncle wrapped his arms around me "thank you, baby"

"Your welcome, I want to go inside and talk to him."

"Emma and I will be in the car."

I walked back inside "is everything okay?"

"No dad, he just found out."

"How's school?"

"Good, I'm staying with Uncle Anthony until I leave for college."

"Baby, you're going to come visit me right?"

"I don't know dad, and I don't trust you, left, " I tell him simply "I want to be able to because you're my only parent left."

"I know, baby."

"Bye dad."

"Bye Lacey"

I got up and went back to the car, and I texted Harry.

Lacey: I'm on my way home now, please be there

Harry: on my way now

I sighed as my uncle held my hand "you okay?"

"Hmm" I hummed "are you okay?"

"I will be" he nodded.

My uncle drove up the street and parked in his driveway. That's when I saw Harry, I got out of the car and just ran to him.

He wrapped his arms around you "you okay?" He asked me.

"I am now" I sighed into his neck.

We walked into the house and down to my room where I talked to him about today.

I sighed "how was school?" I asked him.

"Boring without you" he smiled at me.

I laughed "I feel like I'm dreaming" I grabbed his hand "we still need to talk"

"You deserve to be happy Lace and I want to give you that if you'll have me. I was trying to fight my feelings for you because I knew I was leaving and I didn't want to hurt you but you make me happy and I just feel much better around you"

I smiled up at him "are you asking me to be your girlfriend Harry?" I smirked.

He leaned his forehead against mine and smiled at me "yes"

I screamed and wrapped my arms around him "I'll take that as a yes"

I laughed "yes"

He laughed and kissed my neck as he held me.

"Harry, are you staying for dinner?" My aunt asked.

"Yes!" Harry yelled back "Lace?"

I looked at him "yeah?"

"Um would you want to go out with me?"

"Of course" I smiled "where to?"

"A teen club"

I smiled "sounds like fun yeah"

I got off of him as we walked upstairs, I put Emma in her chair next to me.

"Harry you can sit across from Lacey"

I looked at Harry who smirked at me and I laughed as I went to help my aunt out with the food. We sat down and I could feel Harry's eyes on me.

I looked at him and he looked away "this food is amazing Lily"

John grabbed my arm and pulled me away once dinner was done "what is going on with you two?" He asked me.

"Ssh John"

"What is going on?" I could feel Harry's eyes on me.

"Not today okay? I'll tell you later"

"Fine"

"I should head home" Harry says out loud.

"I'll walk you to your car"

As soon as we got out, he grabbed my hand "John asked?"

"Hmm, are you okay with me telling them?"

"Of course, matter of fact I'm going to tell my family when I get home" he smiles proudly.

"Seriously?" I asked him.

"Yup"

He gets in his car "I'll see you tomorrow at school okay?"

"Okay" I smiled as I kissed him on the cheek.

I went back inside "um can I have you guys in living room for a second"

"Sure"

I looked at my uncle, aunt, and my cousin "um I have some good news" I smiled "Harry and I are dating!"

"Oh sweetie!" My aunt got up and hugged me "I'm so happy for you"

My uncle and John both seemed happy. I went downstairs to change into my pajamas.

"Lacey, can I talk to you?"

"Of course Uncle Anthony" I sat down on my bed.

"Listen I've never had a daughter before but now you're dating there are some rules"

I nodded "Okay"

"Um when Harry's down here with you, keep the door open okay?"

"Okay" I nodded.

"Don't let him pressure you into having sex if you aren't ready"

"You don't have to worry about that Uncle Anthony"

"Well um that's it for now but if anything come to me okay?"

"I will" I nodded as he kissed my cheek and left.

I crawled in bed with Emma and wrapped my arm around her "goodnight Lacey"

"Goodnight princess"
