BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 57. Edited.

I told the driver where the hotel was and how it was and I got to easily because thanks to god he spoke English. I walked to the room and when I opened the door Danny was there, talking to Carter.

"What are you doing here? How did you get here?" I asked confused.

We came from the same place and he arrived first.

"You took the long path," he explained. "I know I did wrong inviting him because Mom is coming but he went to my house when we had photos of the churches and I had to tell him, and invite him. I know you hate him, I used to too but he apologised and his wife and children are just-,"

"Stop!" I screamed.

Knowing that my dad has a new family and lives happy with them when he could've been that way with us broke my heart into small pieces. I wanted to cry but I was too angry to do so. I don't want to go to the wedding and see him with his family while I am depressed because he was more than my dad; he was like my best friend. He was the only one who loved me and he left me alone.

I ran to my room, I didn't know what to do but call Harry, he didn't answer the five times I called him so I just lie down on the bed and rapidly fell asleep.

....

I woke up so hungry, it was five in the evening. I checked my phone; I had more than twelve missed calls of Harry. Maybe I overreacted a lot yesterday but knowing about that man made me lose my... everything.

I opened the door after taking a shower and changing my clothes and Carter was in front of a mirror.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah," he saw me having an attack, it was embarrassing. "When will we leave to the meeting?"

"Talking about that uhm," he was suspicious. "We already had the meeting." He snapped.

What? What?

"I didn't wake you up because you were having a tough time and you weren't in the best conditions to attend," he rubbed his neck. "I'm sorry, we will have another one tomorrow and it's more important than this one."

My eyes watered. I've been sensitive these days but I was just feeling weird today, knowing that my dad was now happy without me hurt me so much. And I was mad because due to that, I missed a meeting, for crying like a brat.

"Don't cry," he hugged me.

It was weird but I needed a hug and Harry wasn't here to give me one, Kaylee wasn't here to comfort me so I just had Carter.

"I don't really know what's going on with your dad and your brother but I know everything will be completely fine at the end. This is an amazing opportunity and you can't ruin it, this maybe will make your future a better one! Big girls don't cry,"

Maybe I wasn't a fan of him but when comforting someone he makes a great job and I felt glad for having him here with me. My phone rang again and it read "Harry".

"Answer, he'll get mad and kill me if you don't." Carter said and walked to the couch.

I answered the call and walked to my room.

"What happened? Did Carter do something?" he asked.

I didn't answer, I was crying again now. Maybe my period was near so that explained my sensitiveness towards absolutely everything.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "Do you want to FaceTime?"

"No, no." I was too ugly now; I looked like a freaking panda.

"Babe, what's going on? I'm worried, I knew you going there wasn't a good idea!" he exclaimed.

"I just-," I breath heavily. "My dad. He has a new family and Danny is friends with him, this is not fair for my mom, either for me. He's a betrayer." I said crying.
