Me and Gray got up. He turned the tv and the Xbox off whilst I opened the curtains and put the empty coke cans on top of the fridge. I waited by the door whilst Grayson finished off putting the remotes back. He walked over to me. I was about to open the door but Gray stopped me. Gray leaned in and so did I.

Our lips locked. It felt so good. The sensation rushed through my body. I cupped his cheek and he put his hands around my waist. He licked my lip for entrance and I let him. I pulled away. We stood there and smiled. Hi hands were still round my waist.

Grayson:" I waited too long for that."

Katie:" Me too Gray."

He pecked my lips and released his hands from around my waist. We locked fingers and left. He locked up and we got into the car. We held hands all the way back in the car.

*Back home- 6:30pm- dinner*

Me and Grayson got out of the car and walked up the stairs to the sitting area. The guard was there and came over.

Guard:" Miss McCarthy. Evening."

Katie:" Evening. Don't worry this is Grayson Dolan. Sean Dolan's son."

Guard:" Best get inside. They have been looking for you two."

I nodded to the guard who went back to his pacing by the pool. We walked up the last flight of steps when Roger had opened the door. We went inside and he shut it. We walked in to the kitchen where everyone else was. 

Charlie:" Aha. Finally you turn up. I told you yesterday that the Dolan's were coming for dinner and you disappear."

Katie:" Before you get on your high horse. I went for a long run to clear my mind. And can you guess why I needed to clear my mind?"

Charlie:" Why did you?"

Katie:" Cos of all this crap. So maybe take your time to ask before you just assume."

Lisa:" Gray I thought you went to a mates house?"

Grayson:" I did. On the way here I saw Katie so I gave her a lift. It was much quicker than her running all the way back."

Sean:" Ok well at least you two are here now and safe. Shall we dish dinner up?"

My dad nodded and him and Sean started dishing dinner out. I sat next to Ethan and Gray sat next to me. We all ate dinner and had pudding after. We got to know each other a lot better than already. My dad had some wine along with Sean and Lisa. Me, Gray and Ethan had some coke. Then when my dad had drunk to much he started slurring. He let something slip I think he didn't want to.

Charlie:" Aha. I can't wait till Freya comes tomorrow."

Everyone went silent and I decided to speak up.

Katie:" Dad? Who is Freya?"

Charlie:" Your new little sister. I've been allowed to adopt."

Katie:" And how is she getting here?"

Charlie:" I am picking her up tomorrow. I might get a fake wife as well."

Katie:"NO! Just cos you have money doesn't mean you need to buy happiness."

Charlie:" Then what is the point of having money Katie?"

Katie:" To live and if you have enough of it give some to charity. Not to buy yourself a fake wife."

Charlie:" Well I have no one."

Katie:" You have me. Isn't that good enough. You are going to have Freya. Isn't that good enough. "

Charlie:" You sound a lot like your mother."

Katie:" I am proud. This is what she would of expected of me. To stand up for what is right and what is wrong."

Charlie:" Katie you don't know that. Your mother is dead."

I got really angry and shot up. Spilling my coke all on the table.

Katie:" YEAH AND NOW I WISH IT WAS YOU THAT WAS DEAD! YOU ARE A WORTHLESS MAN THAT IS NOW GOING TO ALCOHOL TO ESCAPE. WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING GET A GRIP OF YOURSELF AND BE THE MAN THAT MY MOTHER MARRIED. AT LEAST SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE RIGHT NOW! ANYWHERE WOULD BE BETTER INSTEAD OF  HERE WITH YOU!"

I ran out up to my bedroom. I slammed the door shut and flung onto my bed. I started crying. I hated my father right now. I wanted to go down stairs and punch him. I wanted to hurt him so bad. I got lost in my tears and thoughts that I didn't hear Roger come in. He tapped me on the shoulder that brought me out of my thoughts.

I sat up and he was sitting on the edge of my bed. I wiped away my tears and looked up at him.

Roger:" Katie!"

Katie:" No don't make any excuses for him. You heard him yourself. If you try and defend him then you are just as bad."

Roger:" I wasn't gonna defend him. I was going to say you did the right thing. Your mom would be so proud of you right now. You are being the strong one, like she was. She stopped your father going back into drugs and alcohol. I am proud of you. And important of all. Lewis would be extremely proud of you."

I burst out into tears. Roger pulled me close and gave me a side hug.

Katie:" Roger I miss them so much. I just want my brother and mother back. I want it to go back to like it was before eleven months ago."

Roger:" I know. I miss them too. I wanna tell you something I have never told anyone besides Lewis."

Katie:" What is it?"

Roger:" I have been in love with your mother since the day I first met her in kindergarten. And still to this day and forever I will always love her."

i sat up and wiped my tears away. I looked up at Roger who had tears streaming down his face.

Katie:" Why didn't you tell her?"

Roger:" I tried to. So I set this whole romantic thing up in middle school. But your father decided to take the credit and ever since they have been together."

Katie:" So he basically stole my mom off of you?"

Roger:" In a way. But I'm glad it turned out this way. Cos now she created two beautiful children that I grew to and loved liked my own. I was devastated when I found out that Lewis had died. So I went to the place and I knew that it was no accident. It was murder."
