"Friends" || G.D. ||

11: Father

Lynn's P.O.V.

"Lynn! Oh, my. You have grown so big," my father exclaims. He comes inside the house and hugs me. I don't hug him back. I can smell the stale beer on him. 

I didn't get any calls from him to tell me happy birthday, merry christmas, happy easter, or ANYTHING else. I got no cards sent to me. He knew the adress because he lived here. I got nothing, I grew up fatherless. I had one parent. You can't call yourself a parent if you aren't there. 

He isn't my dad, he is my father. There is a difference. A dad is someone who was there for you through middle school and highschool. Who was there through your first boyfriend and who says happy bithday every year to you. A father is someone who maybe stops by or calls every few months or just doesn't ever do anything. A father is a deadbeat and that is what I have. 

^^Sorry for all that. It is just I know a little something about deadbeat parents because I have one......Continue.

He pulls back from the hug and stares at me. His eyes move from my hair, which is still in a messy bun, to my shirt that isn't mine, but Grayson's and my bare legs. I am glad that Grayson's shirt is long enough to cover my cute pink lacey underwear. 

At that moment, Grayson walks out of the living room. "Hey, is everything o-" he stops mid-sentence and just stares at mt father. Grayson must not be bothered that it is my father and he is just standing there in his underwear. 

"You look familar," my father says, "Oh! Are you one of those twin kids that used to be Lynn's best friend? Yeah, you are. Aren't you? Well, from the looks of it, you guys look like you are a lot closer than best friends now,"

"Yeah. . . " Grayson says. 

Grayson's P.O.V. 

When I say that her father was here, I stopped dead in my tracks. I remember everything about that day. The day he left her. 

I remember being in the front room with Ethan, making a video that is too embarrassing to think about now, when a car roared to life and went screaming down out little street. My mother muttered something about stupid people. A couple minutes later, an ambulance pulled into Lynn's house. When my mom saw, she tols us to stay put as she ran out of the house and into Lynn's. We, of course, didn't listen and ran after our mother. When we got there, we saw Lynn on the floor, holding her bloodly arm. She went to the hospital and got a cast. She picked the color green, both of out favorite colors. Lynn told me what had happened a couple years later when we were both old enough to understand what had happened. 

Now, standing in the kitchen, I stare at her father in pure hatred. He hurt her, called her names, blamed her for the divorce, and then left her and never came back. He broke her physically, mentally, and emotionally. I hate him.

"I heard about you mom. I am so sorry. I tried to make it here earlier so I could make the funeral, but I didn't. Your mom was my first love. I tried after her, I did. I even thought about coming back, but I couldn't, I was too ashamed," he finished. "Would it be okay if I crashed here, for tonight?"

Lynn looks at me. She looks so confused. I feel so bad for her. 

Lynn's P.O.V. 

I tell him my father that he can stay for tonight, but he leaves in the morning. The only reason I do is because that is what my mother would do. She always believed in forgiveness. I can't forgive him for what he did, but I can try to be a decent human being to him even ig he wasn't to me. 

I show him the guest room and he falls into bed and goes to sleep immediately. I walk back out into the living room and sit next to Gray. I snuggle up close to him and he presses play on the movie. 

"You okay?" he asks me. 

I look at him. He is asking me if I am okay, but I don't think I am. I start crying instead of answering him. He pulls me closer and hugs me tighter.

"I'm sorry," I sob.

"It is okay. It was a dumb question," he says.

I pull back and look at him, trying to not cry. He wipes the tears from my face and then kisses where my tears were. 

"Don't worry about it, okay?" he says. 

We continue to watch the movie.

The credits start rolling and I look up at Gray. He looks at me. 

"When are we going to be going back to LA?" he asks. 

"Uhmm. I don't know. We should talk about that with Ethan tomorrow, but I think in the next couple days," I say to him. 

"Okay. It is whatever you want," he says. He goes to get up and goes to the bathroom. When he comes out, he picks me up, bridal style and walks to my room. 

He puts me slowly on my bed and lays next to me. He covers us both up. I put my head on his chest and pull him as close to him as I can. He puts his hand on the small if my back and we stay like that until I drift into dreamless sleep.

*Qiuck lil note*

I know that I haven't updated in a while now, but what do you think?

I am going to try to update more often and this is how I will determine when I will update: the views. 

Once this gets to 850 views I will update again. See you then.

And if you are waiting, then you could go read my other book called Savior (it is an Ethan fanfic).

Here is the EOCP

I freaking love Gray's face in this. LMAO!!!!!
