The following day was the same, except for one thing I seemed to have forgotten. I went out then saw Antonio sitting on the couch. I cleared my throat then he looked at me. I sat down on the couch in front of him then put the laptop on the coffee table in the middle, opened it then went to the internet.
"What are you doing?" He asked
"Internet signal is much more strong here than in my room, so what do you think I'm doing?" I asked back
I noticed that dad was online then I clicked chat then his face popped up on the screen.
"Hi dad," I greeted
"Hey sweetheart, what are you doing there?" Dad asked
"Chatting with you." I replied
"So you're out of your room huh?" He asked
"Oh yeah, not much happened around here though." I replied
"There's one thing." Antonio interrupted
"Who was that?" Dad asked
"Mr. Nobody." I replied
"Well, I won't be so nobody anymore." Antonio says
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I'm your mom's boyfriend." He whispered
For a minute there, I was in the state of shock then I stood up and ran to him.
"Why you little! Take that back!" I yelled
"Anna, Anna, sweetheart, calm down." Dad said
I don't know why but when I remember something related to dad or when I hear his voice I calm down. I picked the laptop up and ran to my room. I locked my room then set the laptop on my bed.
"It's okay sweetheart, you're a strong girl and I know that you can overcome this." Dad said
"Yes, I will do this." I replied, "Uh, hey dad, I um, gotta go talk to him."
"Talk? You're going to talk okay sweetheart?" He said, "And ONLY talk."
"I'm not going to hurt him." I replied, "Well, yet."
"So if not now when?" Dad asked
"I don't know." I shrugged
"Well sweetheart, I hope you don't hurt him. I mean, you may hate him I also hate him, but your mom decided it. Maybe she just like Antonio." Dad said
"That, I don't want." I replied, "But dad, if mom gets married to him, can I stay with you?"
"I don't know. Maybe you could spend some months-. I mean why are you asking me that?" He asked
"No reason."
A few hours later, mom came home.
"Anna, what did I tell you?" She asked
"Actually, you said nothing." I replied
"I told you to stop doing that." She said then sighed, "Anyway, you're going to school tomorrow, and Antonio will take you there."
"Oh please, I'd rather walk from here to Danville than him bringing me to school." I muttered
"So sleep early tonight." She added
"Fine."
