Taylor's POV
I turned to look at Jason and saw he was asleep. I shifted out of his arms and stood up. I was still wearing my jeans and my T-shirt but it didn't bother me. I, being the snoop I am, starting rummaging through his room just because. I found a picture of us at frontier city, a stuffed bear I got him on valentines day (he carried it around all day that day), and then I found something that I didn't know what it was. It was a small black box with a red light on it and the light was blinking... it was a recorder and it was on. I started panicking silently, I didn't want to wake Jason up. I started looking around the room and saw in the corner of the ceiling, a hole that had obviously been screwed in. The only reason that would be there is for a camera. I paced thinking of who would do this, but I knew who did it. I just didn't want to believe it.
I turned to the window, looking outside, that's when I saw him. Richard was sitting on the bench at the bus stop across the street smiling at me. I screamed at the top of my lungs, but right then a car passed and he was gone. I guess my scream was loud because Chloe and Adrian came in and gave me the same look Jason, who had heard my scream and woken up, was giving me.
"Are you ok?" asked Chloe.
"Um yeah I just thought I saw something sorry I didn't mean to wake you guys up." As I said this Adrian sighed. After a few minutes Adrian and Chloe went back to bed.
"You sure your ok?" asked Jason. I nodded, I would tell them but he's in jail. Or at least he should be in jail.
"Um Im gonna go get something to eat, you can go ahead and go to sleep." he nodded. He was obviously worried.
I walked into the kitchen then rummaged through it, looking for junk food. You can't judge me but what i always say is "When in doubt, eat food." I found a box of powdered donuts, heavens food, and a Gatorade. When I turned around I saw someone standing in the corner of the kitchen. I hadn't turned the lights on so I couldn't tell who it was.
"Who's there?" I asked hesitantly.
"I think you know who I am." he said.
"I do I just don't want to believe it. So why are you here?"
"I'm not gonna miss my baby girls birthday. I may be a 'bad father' as you say but no ones that bad Bug." he said chuckling. He hasn't called me that since I was little.
"I wouldn't mind if you just left a card, maybe a present, I have been needing new headphones so why don't you get that then come back. I'm sure Jason wouldn't like coming in here to see you." I was starting to get angry with him. Yes I am always mad at him but being mad and being angry and two different things.
"Speaking of him, I don't really think you should sleep together until your married, I raised you better than that."
So there was a camera... fanfreakingtastic!! (Don't judge my made up words)
"No you didn't raise me you beat me." now I'm both mad and angry. Why won't he just leave. He laughed silently, then took a few steps towards me.
"I didn't come here to annoy you, though I think I already have. No I came to say happy birthday and give you a little present." He said this with a grin that sent chills down my spine.
He reached into his pocket then pulled out a little box, setting it on the kitchen table. "By the way their planning you a surprise party." He nodded towards the bedrooms. I followed him to the doorway to make sure he left but before he left he turned and said something that surprised me, "I do regret the things I did to you, and I want you to know that what happened to your mom," He paused as if letting my memories flood back, "It wasn't your fault."
After he left I went back to the kitchen and opened the little box. When I saw what it was I started to cry as quietly as I could.
(Flashback)
"Daddy!!!!!" I screamed as I heard my father entering the house.
"Hey baby," he picked me up and spun me around, "how was your day Bug?"
"It was good what about yours?"
"Well daddy had some problems with his boss but I'm gonna fix it." He set me down on the table and rummaged through his work bag. He pulled out a little box and bowed down in front of me. I giggled, "what's that?" I asked.
"Why don't you find out?" He said, handing it to me. I quickly opened it to see a locket shaped like a heart. I opened the locket and saw a picture of my Mom, dad, and me.
"Thank you daddy!! I love it! Will you help me put it on?" He nodded putting it around my neck as I held up my hair.
I looked down at the picture in the locket. I had left this in my room when I left to come here. The tears streamed down my face and right then I realized, I want nothing but for everything to be like it was.
"So what I'd like to know is why didn't you call for someone when you saw him hmm?" I looked up and saw Jason standing there staring at me.
"I-um I didn't mean to wake you up." Ok I was at a loss for words you can't judge me.
"You think I just went to sleep after you screamed, and apparently it was because of something!" he started yelling. Soon Chloe and Adrian would probably hear him and wake up. He stopped and covered his face with his hand, obviously irritated.
"You know what just forget it I'm going to bed, you can just sleep on the couch." and with that he turned around and went to bed slamming his door behind him.
