   My father was on me like a bloodhound. I could glide into the kitchen, just to make a small meal before I retired to my room for the night and he would assume I was sneaking out or even sneaking someone in. Although, I had before he was being completely and utterly ridiculous.

He had been on me as if I was one of the corporate businesses he hadn't made amends with. He started greeting me before I left for school and sometimes he was even home before me, he didn't stay for long since he did have to get back, but the thought was insane. He tried to bond with me and I believed this was his way of telling me he knew something I didn't. My father hadn't necessarily been a father figure since my mother passed and he still wasn't. He was simply the man who had been raising me to become whoever he wanted me to become. A lawyer, a doctor, a business "man", someone with a well respected title similar to him. What I wanted to be didn't matter.
Justin and I stared seeing each other inside of school only. I didn't need my father catching a glimpse of him again. I didn't want anything bad to happen to him. If we didn't hang at school, I simply face timed him. I would delete our call history afterwards, simply fearing what could happen if my dad even had the slightest suspicion. Sneaking around became somewhat rare, I just needed my father off of me for a little while. Not being around Justin made me feel somewhat ill. I was missing that other piece of me. It was ridiculous how attached I had gotten to him and how serious it was. A bystander would believe this was unhealthy and oddly enough, I wouldn't disagree. I didn't know what to do without him.
