Lisa's POV

After school

After history class, I've been distracted a lot like a lot.

Meeting my dad after years was weird for me...almost uncomfortable too.

I didn't know if I should tell mum but I really don't want to tell cause she might create a flood.

After history class

I stood outside my history classroom tapping my foot, waiting for my dad to signal me to come in. "HEY, LISA!" I looked to my right and saw Tessa holding her books, running to me. 

"Lisa, aren't you gonna go to your next period? You're just standing there" I sighed 

"Tes...I...I'll talk to you later." I waved goodbye to Tess and walked inside and saw my history teach- I mean dad.....

"Uh......hi." I stood right by the door while looking down.

"Close the door." Slowly I shut the door, afraid of whats going to happen.

I got these memories of my dad, bad but good memories I had with him...and the fact that I'm in front of him after so many years is scary.

"Lisa, it's been awhile, you look all grown up." I looked up and saw a nervous face.

"Yeah.....I'm 17, dad....where were you? You left me." It was a question that was deep inside me but sometimes I wouldn't think about it.

"Well, I had a mission to do but I had to leave you and mum behind in order to accomplish it, AND BEFORE YOU SAY WHY I'M A HISTORY TEACHER its because I felt guilty about everything I did in the past." 

I took a moment to process everything he said, honestly I don't know if I should be happy.

Now

I cuddled myself in bed while looking at a framed picture of baby me, I looked chubby but cute. 

"Honey...It's me" I heard my mum from outside the door.

"Come in." 

"Lisa, are you ok? You looked down ever since after school. You ok?"

"Yeah....I guess." 

"Turn around." I turned over and saw mum with a tray of food.

"Tell me what happened" I stood up and put the tray on to my nightstand, grabbing her hands.

"I don't know how you will react but....I saw dad..at school today." 

I lift up my head to see mums reaction. Blank.

"Eat your food, I'll be back. Mum left while closing the door behind.

Mum needed time to think and I understood. I would do the same.

Mums POV

My back was against the door, nearly crying.

Was it true? Did Lisa really see him? 

I don't want to tell Lisa the truth...I'm afraid.
