Dad ruins everything

My father and sister came home about an hour later than me. They were talking about they could see her life slipping away through her eyes until they saw me. I saw my dad's face changing from 'this was horrible' to 'this was all YOUR fault'. I was flabbergasted and before I realized what was happening he had hit me on my head again and he dragged me down the stairs to our basement and there I was, surrounded by black, all alone in this life.

I don't remember a lot about the days after I was locked up, so I don't know how long I was in that basement, it were 3 days, maybe 4, but after a while, my father came to me. "It's time to show up at school. Don't make a scene there and pretend that nothing has happened. When they ask about how you feel, you say that you are fine, understood?" I didn't answer and that was a mistake. My father took me by my arm and pushed me back down the stairs. I felt the pain, but it wasn't anything like the pain my mom left. I stood back up and went back upstairs.

When I went to school, nobody ran to me and said: "How are you darling, do you need something?" All I got were dirty looks, those who said 'poor girl who lost her mom recently' so I hid my feelings and walked straight to my friends. They didn't see my pain on the inside, and also not on the outside, but I could see that they didn't want to talk about it until I started about it. I didn't start, I never did.

When I was at school I remembered what my father said about not being so dramatic and not having to make a scene so I pretended that I was okay, but Jacob could see through me. I saw him walking towards Paige and my heart stopped, he lied to me, didn't he? But instead of stopping he ran through her group, shouted "WE ARE OVER" and walked towards me. He held me tight against his chest and there we stood, in the middle of the school and everyone was watching. That is the moment my mask almost fell off and I almost started crying.

Jacob mumbled to me: "Be strong and don't cry, meet me at the mall after school. You can go first and wait at the Starbucks."

So I waited, but not for long because Jacob ran to me and kissed me on my forehead. My heart melted for a second and there were so many butterflies. At first, he wanted to say something but I tried not to but I started crying like a baby anyway. When I stopped crying we sat down and we started talking for hours, or so it seemed. My sister told dad about what happened at school and my father had searched everywhere to find me and so he found me. Everybody at the mall could hear it and I started to cry again.

When I came home with my dad, Paige just smiled at me when she saw my face, but I could only see it for a second because my dad already had already dragged me down to the basement.

But this didn't stop me to not talk to Jacob:

"Hey Jacob, I am sorry for earlier, my dad was concerned about me"
"No worries I understand"

This led to nothing so I made it awkward.

"And  ... have you talked to that girl of yours?"
"Well yes actually I have"
"So it was a good day for you?"
"Totally! But what's up, you seem so depressed"
"I am kinda, my dad doesn't want me to see you"
"That sucks"
"It certainly does"

What do you think I asked then? Well hell yeah I made it more awkward.

"And have you already kissed her?"
"No, but it was my meaning to kiss her when we met a while ago"
"Yeah I see, but maybe the next time when you see her, you just need to do it"
"But I am not sure if she even likes me"
"She certainly does, and if not I will punch her"
"I don't think that is necessary..."
"And why is that?"

He didn't text back, so there I was, waiting for an answer with my rock music.
