London's pov
I can't wait to see Dad, it's been three weeks since I last saw him and that was only for a few days. I wish I looked more like him, not Mom. Nic looks just like Dad did when he was Nic's age, same brownish blond hair, same bright blue eyes, only difference is Nic has longer hair than Dad ever did. Maybe I'll played the piano for Daddy after he sleeps a little, I'll see what Nic has in kind though.
"You know you just said all that out loud right?" Nic smirks at me.
"Really?" He laughs and nods at me, not taking his eyes off the road.
"I was thinking he goes to bed for a bit, of course he will be tired after such a long trip, then I'll clean," he cringes at the though and I laugh. I'm the housekeeper usually, he just keeps my little mishaps and skipping school from Daddy. I quickly take my blue wig off as we arrive at the airport.
"You could do one of your awesome meals?" I look at Nic in shock.
"Really? But I'll need to go shopping, and get everything." He nods at me and smiles, then chuckles.
"Dad has always known about your wigs, Lon. He doesn't mind," I put it back on and see Dad out the window. I squeal and run out the car to hug him.
"Daddy!" He hugs me tightly, as though I'd slip away in a current if he let go.
"You missed me Angel?" I nod, he knows I missed him, I always do.
"Dad, I'll put your stuff in the car for you."
"Nic, you've grown up so much, the both of you. And blue hair looks good on you sweetie, maybe you could actually dye it that colour one day." He smiles.
"Really? Yes, thank you!" I hope we can feel like a real family again.

We get home around five, so Dad goes to bed, Nic starts cleaning and putting Dad's stuff away and in the wash while I go out to buy food for tonight's meal. Hmm, would should I get for the entree? And the main? I already know what I'll do for dessert, Dad's favourite, sponge cake. I get all the things I need for the sponge cake, then I hear someone stop behind me.
"Excuse me dear, would you please tell me the price of the icing sugar,"
"Hi Anette, it's on special for a dollar." I turn to face her and smile, a smile which fades when I see a brutal looking man next to her.
"Oh, Desmond, honey, this is the girl Tyler brought home the other day. London, this is my husband, Desmond." She seems nervous.
"Hi, nice to meet you," I shake his hand and he glares at me. This man, Desmond, makes me highly uncomfortable. He doesn't even speak, just glares.
"Mom, I found the tin foil for you," I turn to see Tyler. His eyes widen and he looks between me and his father, at least I think he is Tyler's father.
"Why is there a dark brown curl coming from under the stupid blue hair, London?" Oh shit what?
"Pardon?" I ask Desmond and Tyler just stands there shocked.
"If a girl needs to hide her hair colour with wigs I don't want to see you near my wife or son ever again." Oh my gosh, this can't be happening, he knows? Damn I checked every strand before I left.
"Uh, okay sir, but I wear them not to hide my hair but because my mother won't let me d-"
"Get away from us." His voice is stern, then I see someone I thought wasn't here standing behind him.
"Mom?"

Tyler's pov
"Mom?" Goth's voice shakes with the very word, I mean, her Mom is the one wrecking mine's life?
"London, like Des said, stay away from her until they get a divorce like your disgusting father and I do," wow, this is intense. I see my mothers eyes well with tears, ,aye she will be better off without Dad, I mean he does hate us. All I do is stand there until my Mom takes mine and Goth's hands and lead us out of there.
"Uh, Mom, we don't have a car."
"I do, you can come to mine if you'd like for tonight." Goth's voice is barely audible, but Mom and I nod just the same. When we get to hers, I'm stunned, I never thought she would live in this part of town. A big mansion, with a fountain at the front, a beautiful garden and, wow, everything about this place is extravagant. The car stops and we get out.
"Nic!" She shouts and her brother comes running out with an older looking him. Only then I notice my mother is comforting her, tears stream down her face, completely ruining her makeup. I've never seen such emotion in her before.
"What happened?" Nic demands.
"Nicholai calm down, you'll only frighten her. I'm Josh, I take it your son is either Tyler or Seth?"
"My son is Tyler, my name is Anette. My soon to be ex husband was rather rude, turns out our spouses are leaving us for each other." His face drops.
"Oh, no, London, sweetie, I didn't want you to find out this way." She shakes her head and runs inside the house.
"London?" I ask, who the hell is London?
"That's her name, I know she hid it from you hit only because she doesn't want you to trying to find her social media, mostly Seth though." I nod.
"Do you mind, sir, if I followed her?" I ask her father, Josh. He nods,
"She will have gone to the piano room, first door on the right upstairs." I thank him and run inside after her, it is Seth's Donnie, she might not remember though. If so, I'll find out and won't say anything if she doesn't, she doesn't deserve that thrown on her.
