Just a quick update :)

Becky
I woke up to hear thunder and lightning it was still really dark in my room I hated thunder and lightning so i pulled Tristans arms tighter around my body. He mumbled in his sleep but pulled me close to him so there was literally no space between us. My mum had gone away for a week so it was nice to be able to have Tristan over for the night. I was actually glad she had gone away as today was the day I was meeting my dad and I didn't want to hurt her by telling her I was meeting him. There was a flash of lightning that lit up my whole room and must have woken Tris up as he sat bolt up right.
Tris- Shit that was a big flash looked like it was right outside
Becky- Aw is Tristan scared? - I nervously giggled knowing that in fact it was me that was scared
Tris- Pineapple we both know that its you thats scared now come here I want to snuggle
We stayed in bed for another hour talking about random things and after I got ready and went downstairs my phone buzzed.
Tony:
I am running 5 minutes late as I had to drop someone off but I am looking forward to seeing you
I just stood there staring at it for a while, I felt my stomach twist into knots as i struggled to feel just one emotion but instead it was a mixture of nervous, sick, anger and aprehension. More than anything I was worried. Tris found me at the bottom of the stares and dragged me into the kitchen where he had made me pancakes with nutella my favourite. I gulped them down as it distracted me and I was starving, he went to get ready and by the time I had cleaned up the kitchen he walked back in wearing some skinny jeans a tight top and his leather Jacket. He looked amazing and I still couldn't believe that he had chosen me. He came over to me and wrapped his hands around my waste kissing my forehead. We headed out to his car and thats when I really started to feel sick. He kept reassuring me telling me it would be ok and that he would be there for me. As we puled up into the parking lot beside starbucks I saw that all the girls and the rest of the boys were standing there.
Becky- What are you guys doing here?
Cait, Dani, Lauren- You didn't think we would let you do this alone
I smiled and I looked over to Connor
Becky- I take it this was your idea?
Connor- Becky we love you and i hate what this jerk has done to you and your mum so if he was to try something and I hadn't been here I would have kicked myself.
Becky- I love you guys so much thank you for always being here for me, you realise you can't all just sit around when I meet him though right that would be way too awkward
Con- We know we are going to sit a few tables away, come on lets go order - He pulled me into a hug and whispered that he will never stop being there for me. Tris grabbed my hand and guided me to a table as he went to order.
I was door watching, I only had a picture from before I was born so I was hoping he hadn't changed much and as Tristan came and sat down next to me holding my hand I saw him come through the door. I took a sharp intake of breath and Tristan squeezed my hand as he too looked towards the door. Tony looked over towards me, he seemed to know it was me, he must have seen my mum in me everyone tells me I look like her. I felt numb as he walked towards us I didn't know what to say or what to do.
Tony- Um hi Becky, you look just like your mother - He smiled it was just as awkward as I thought it would be and I couldn't get any words out
Tris- I'm Tristan Becky's boyfriend she's just a bit overwhelmed
Tony- nice to meet you, I honestly can't tell you how much I have wanted this and I just can't believe i have finally got the chance to meet you becky
Becky- I'm sorry I can't sit here whilst you tell me you have wanted this its been 19 YEARS 19 YEARS IF YOU WANTED IT SO BAD WHY IS THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE CONTACTED ME - I realised I had began to yell and everyone is the coffee shop was staring i calmed myself down waiting to hear some stupid story.
Tony- I...I well I don't have any excuse for why I didn't get in touch when you were born I was scared me and your mother we ended up hating each other and I had to get away. As you know i was in the army and I got posted away. I ended up moving to Australia and I met someone and I just got carried away in the thick of it all. I am not saying this an excuse it isn't I was a terrible dad for you
Tris- sorry mate but you weren't even a dad
Tony- I know your right I wasn't, Anyway well she got pregnant about a month after you would have been born and well we settled down and I had this whole new life out in Australia
Becky- So you have another child who you stuck around for - I could feel the tears stinging my eyes as Tris squeezed my hand
Tony- Its not like that I know how it seems, but Australia was a new start for me, not a day went by that I didn't think about you i had a pciture of you when you were born in a frame in our living room you were always in my heart I just I couldn't bring myself to make your life harder the last letter i recieved from your mother told me to stay away so I thought it was best to leave it at that...
Becky- She she what... - I let what he had just said sink in, how could she tell him to stay away
Tony- I thought you would have known about that I'm sorry don't let it mean anything, I just I need you to know that I have never forgottern about you.
Tristan
When Becky started shouted i thought we were going to have world war three on our hands I took hold of her hand to calm her, we stayed in the coffee shop for nearly two hours it turned out that he had emigrated with his new family back to England and that was why he finally got the courage to talk to her. After they got the awkwardness of his explanation out the way it seemed like they got on quite well they were quite similar and they got ot know each other a little bit better after a while I got up and went to talk to the others to give them some space. Con had nearly got up when Becky had started shouting he had been around longer than me he had seen how her dad not being around affected her so he wasn't going to let him off easily.
We saw him stand up to leave he gave Becky a hug and whispered something to her that we were unable to hear. She walked over to us and sat on my lap.
Con- I still want to punch his face into next week
Becky- Con its fine - she explained to the otheres what had been said and told us about how she has a brother that is about a year younger than her.
Becky- He has actually invited us all to a housewarming BBQ next weekend so that I can meet his family- Her eyes looked distant she had a lot on her mind but I could tell that she was happy now she had got her explanation and might actually have a chance of building a relationship with him.
Tris- I can't wait babe, I can't believe the reason they emigrated all the way over here was for their son I mean i know that your dad wanted to see you too but the reason it got put into motion was because this boy and his band thought it would be better for them to make their band bigger over here.
Caitlin- WOAH HOLD UP YOU NEVER SAID YOUR BROTHER WAS IN A BAND???? - her and the girls looked like exciteable puppies
Con/Brad/James - Um hello we are here you know
Becky- Um yeah well he didn't tell me what the band was called but he said they were really big in Australia and were starting to get bigger here. Anyway they will all be at this BBQ next week.
Dani- You don't think its... No it couldn't be... No thats just silly
Becky- What Dani spit it out?
Dani- Well 5sos are starting to get big here, Australian band, omg I am going to research online gahhhhh OMG YOU COULD BE MICHAELS SISTER
Becky- Dani don't be stupid of course its not going to be them they are big here already
Dani- I guess... - She looked sad we all had a big group hug and then made our way back to Tristans and james to get out of the horrible weather and to have a movie night.
