Dads

Home

Saturday and Sunday flew by and Emily was still staying at Devon's place. On Saturday Devon's brother came over, who to Emily's surprise was het math teacher. That made it a little awkward at first but they had a lot of fun. Sunday evening after dinner she packed her bag though and made sure she had al her stuff. Later that evening she sat down next to Devon.
"Devon?" Emily said and Devon looked at her.
"What is it Emily?"
"Ehm... I think I'll go home tomorrow, I think I should talk to my dad and we have to figure things out together. I'm cooled down."
"That's good, I understand." Devon said and smiled at her even though he was sad she would leave him.
"Will you be okay without me?" Emily asked jokingly.
Devon smiled. "Of course, as long as you come to visit me once in a while to make sure I'm still breathing."
"Sure, I can do that."
Devon smiled and hugged her a bit, Emily hugged back.
"Shall we watch a movie tonight then? You pick."
"Sure you want to let me pick a movie?"
"Yes I am."
"Okay. Do you have LOTR Return of the King?"
"Of course i do! What kind of a question is that."
"Sorry, I know people who don't have it."
"Burn them"
"What?"
"Nothing." Devon said and put the disc in and they watched it. they mostly commented everything but it was nice. at the end of the movie they were quiet though because there were too much feels. Soon the battle was won and Aragorn was crowned king and married Arwen. Emily smiled when watching the last few scenes. Then Devon turned her head towards him, lifted her chin a little and kissed her. Emily's eyes widened and tried to push him away. Devon was stronger though and pushed her down onto the couch. Devon pinned her arms above her head and held her wrists with one hand and moved the other hand along her body. Emily struggled against his grip and tried to free her arms, but didn't succeed. Devon touched placed on her body she didn't want him to touch and she bit his lip so he would pull back and she then pushed him of her with her legs. She got up and took a little distance.
"What the fuck?" She asked him.
"What?"
"You kissed me? What the hell, dude"
"I know I did, because I like you."
"You're 42, you could be my father!"
"No, you dad and I broke up months ago, i'll never be"
"What the.... you dated my dad?!"
"Not long, only for about a month"
"So first you date my dad and you think it's okay to kiss me?"
"I'm not dating anyone, so why wouldn't it be?"
"Because you are more than twice my age."
"Age is just a number."
"And I don't like you like that."
"Then why did up come to me?"
"Because I had nowhere else to go, you were the only on I knew I could trust."
"That's the same thing"
"No it's not." Emily said and walked up the stairs to her room and grabbed her bag. She walked down and put in her coat.
"Where are you going?"
"Home." Emily said and walked out.
"Emily, wait. Please." Devon said and followed her.
"No, leave me alone." Emily said and walked further.
"Let me at least drive you home."
"No, I rather walk alone."
"I can't let you go alone, what if there are perverts out there?"
"I don't want to sit in a car with one." Emily said and walked further. Devon knew he couldn't change her mind so he walked back home. Emily walked home. When there Emily rang the door bell and soon Andy opened.
"Hey, dad." She said, not looking him in the eyes. "I'm so sorry I ran away..." She said and expected him to be mad at her, but instead Andy pulled her into a tight hug. Emily wrapped her arms around him and hugged back.
"I'm so glad you are home." He said, stroking her hair. Emily didn't say a thing and just hugged him. they soon walked into the house. Andy made some tea ready and they sat on the couch.
"Where where you?" Andy asked.
"I stayed at Devon's place." Emily answered.
"You did? Why?"
"He was the only one I trusted at that moment and the only one who's adres I have."
"Right... I didn't think you'd go to him."
"I know."
"Em, I'm sorry for what happened last Friday, I really am."
"I know, and I am sorry for freaking out.... I guess I should be happy my parents are back together?"
"We're not."
"Not?"
"No, when you got mad you kind of opened my eyes and I remembered everything you've been through because of her. I told her to leave right away, I don't want you and Alex to go through any more pain again because she wants to be here again."
"Thanks."
"No problem, kiddo." Andy said and pulled her into a hug. Emily hugged back for a while.
"Why did you come back already?"
"Like Devon said to you on the phone; If you give me some time to calm down I'll come back."
"I'm glad you did."
"And I also don't want to bother Devon more that I need to."
"I don't think you did."
"No.... he liked me around."
"I think so too...."
"A little too much." Emily softly muttered to herself.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Did he do something to you?" Andy asked a little suspicious now.
"N-no."
"Emily, you can tell me if he did anything to you, you don't have to be ashamed."
"Nothing happened, dad." Emily said looking down.
"Okay, but you know you can always tell me if something happens, right?" Andy said and Emily nodded.
"I'm going to bed." Emily said and walked up the stairs and wen to bed.

Emily sat in her math class but couldn't focus as all, When Liam asked a question she didn't know the answer and she didn't make her homework. Liam sat next to her after a while and Emily leaned away from him a little bit.
"What's wrong, Emily?"
"Nothing." Emily said.
"I know there is." Liam said and put his hand on her shoulder, making her flinch a little.
"I don't want to talk about it." Emily said.
"Sure?"
"Yes." Emily said and Liam was silent for a while.
"My brother told me you are back home, is that right?"
"Yes, I went home last night."
"Good, what did your father say?"
"He was happy I was home."
"That's good." Liam said and then the bell rang and Emily grabbed her stuff.
"See you all tomorrow." Liam said while the students all left the classroom.
During one of her free hours Emily sat in the hallway on a bench and made some homework. Suddenly someone tapped on her shoulder, Emily turned around and looked up at Chester.
"Can i please talk to you?" Chester asked her. Emily sighed and nodded.
"Thanks." Chester said and sat down on the bench as well.
"What do you want?"
"I want to explain what happened and why I did what I did."
"Fine, go ahead."
"Do you remember that day the principal walked in and picked me out of class?"
"Yes."
"He brought me to his office, I thought I was in trouble but there was a woman in his office, your mother. She told me she had a great deal for me, she had done some research and knew about my situation with my parents and our financial status... she offered me a the deal to pretent to be your boyfriend for a while and she would pay me a lot of money. I was already in love with you and wanted to ask you out already, this deal only helped me with that because I wanted to help my parents. We have a lot of debts and my dad works a lot to try to make enough money to pay everything. I just wanted to help him. and I didn't see any reason why I wouldn't make that deal, I mean, I got paid to date the girl I wanted to date anyways. I didn't think about you and how much it would hurt you if you would ever find out. I'm sorry about that, I really am. I don't ask for you to take me back or anything, only to understand that I didn't want to hurt you and I only agreed to that deal because i waned to help my parents..." Chester told and Emily listened to everything he said. Emily looked up at him.
"I think I can forgive you... you told me about your situation and I think I would've done the same if someone offered me that deal, especially in your situation. Thank you for telling me."
"Thank you for listening." Chester said and Emily smiled at him. "Do you think we can be friends again?"
"I think we can." Emily said and they hugged shortly.
"Then I think I should go back to class." Chester said.
"How did you get out?"
"I just told mr. Sandson I had to go to the toilet." Chester said with a smile. Emily smiled a him.
"Oh, by the way, ehm.. prom is in a month and, I'm not asking you to go with me, but If you don't find anyone but you don't want to go alone you can always text me."
"I know, thanks." Emily said and smiled at him. Chester smiled back and went back to his class.
"Chester, Where were you? I know you weren't of to the toilet!" Emily could hear Liam say to Chester and Emily chuckled.
