Why Don't You Love Me

Time tells all

Dawn's P.O.V

RUN.

That was the only thing I thought about. If he didn't hate me already, I know he does now. I just had to tell him the truth. Just couldn't take it anymore and he deserved to know. He took care of me all these years, but it was time for me to go. I don't even know how he never figured it out anyway. I mean I looked nothing like him.

Ever since my mother told me that I was bread from another man, through infidelity, I started to act different. I thought he would not look at me the same. That was seven years ago. I wanted his love so much, but I felt he didn't care about me the way he did about Erin, my sister. Here I was at seventeen looking for love somewhere I knew I never would, so why try.

Five Hours Earlier

I sat here waiting for him to come through the door. The same door that I wished I could walk out and never see again. Today was the day that I would clear the air, tell him how I felt and release this secret.

I was so nervous, but it was now or never. It would break his heart, but deep down I knew he had his doubts about me. I wonder if he knew that my mother was sleeping around on him now. He was her husband, but it was only for the money. Her image was the most important thing to her. She didn't care for anyone but herself. She had kept this man in the dark for long enough but it would all end now. I hated her fo-

I was cut from my thoughts, when I heard someone call my name. He was home and standing in front of me.

'' Hi sweetheart. How was your day?'' he asked me.

'' Fine'' I stated blankly. Just ready to get this over with.

'' What's wrong baby-girl. Did someone bother you at school?''

'' No and why are you in my business anyway'' I yelled harshly at him.

'' I'm your father that's why and you need to watch your tone when you speak to me.'' He said getting irritated.

'' That's what you think'' I whispered under my breath so that he wouldn't hear me.

'' What did you just say ?'' He narrowed his eyes at me demanding an answer.

'' _______ ''

'' ANSWER ME, NOW.'' He screamed at the top of his lungs, drawing my sisters attention to come down stairs and see what was going on .

'' What's going on down here?'' asked Erin. '' Why are you to arguing?''

'' Not now '' he said coldly to Erin making her jump in fear. '' Tell me what you said, NOW.'' He shouted at me this time.

'' I said, you are not my father ,so stop acting like it.'' I replied cold-heartedly.

'' How... I don't..don't understand, what are you talking about. Of course your my daughter. Where did you get this idea.''

'' Oh I got this ' idea ' from the women who gave birth to me. Your wife. I bet you didn't know that she was and still is cheating on you with more than one man. She dosn't care about me , Erin , and especially not you 'daddy'. She only married you for your money. She was a hood rat when you met her and she a hood rat now. Money may change your appearance but it doesn't do anything to your personality.'' I boldly stated the truth

When he started moving forward I grabbed my bag, hugged my sister and did the only I thought was right.

RUN.
