Him

chapter 17

I wake up slowly noticing the rays of light creeping through my curtains and lighting up the room. I lay there for a few more minutes when I notice the time. 12:18 pm. Well damn did I sleep this long. I get up and take a shower. I wince when I realize I got stitched last night. Oh right... Yea...

30 minutes later...
I get out of the shower and put on my robe. I didnt feel like getting dressed. I was too exhausted. I walk down the hall when I hear moans and groaning coming from my parents bedroom.

Oh god!

I stand there in disgust. Damn did they get along finally? I laugh to myself until I see my dad walk inside the front door with groceries and my smile drops to a frown

. I run to the door and hear my mom. Omg! I look at my dad and I can tell he hears her. He runs to the door and slams it open.

"What the fuck is going on here!" My dad screams at the top of his lungs. I see my mom cover herself with the sheets and the man who I caught her kissing a few days ago. My mom sees me and she freaks out.

"Ian what the fuck our daughter can see us!" She screams back. My dad looks back and shrugs. "She's the one who heard you doing shit in here!" I walk away quickly to my room and close the door. What did I just see? My mom was fucking another man in our house!

I get dressed and go on my phone. Just forget it. Just forget it. Just forget....

20 minutes later...
"Get the fuck out of my house right the fuck now!" "No both of you now!" " my daughter is here and she had to catch you in the act! What kind of mother are you!" I hear him yell. His voice overpowered my moms so I couldnt here what she had to say. A minute later the door slammed and I heard my dad start cussing and then punch the wall. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

A minute later my dad walked in my room. I sat up real quick and waited for him to speak. "I'm so Sorry you had to witness that. I cant believe your mother would do such a thing knowing you are in the house!" His voice raises a little and I take a deep breath. "Dad..." He looks at me and waits for me to continue. "That's not the first time." My dad gives me a confusing look and I continue.

"Tuesday, wh-when I came home from school, I saw her kissing that same man." His face goes pale and his eyes go black. But I proceed. "I cussed her out. Told her she was married with a kid but yet she had her tongue down another mans throat..." He nodded and then got up.

He walked out of the room and I heard something shatter. He walked back in a took a deep breath. "You werent home on Tuesday. I came back to the house and you were no where to be found." He said. Fuck.

"Yea uh I..." I hesitated. "I snuck out... To a party..." He looked at me in shock. "And then what? You came home Wednesday morning... Where were you?" He asked in a quiet curious voice. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

"I uh- uh i had to much to drink. But I needed to let loose. Mom pissed me off and I though that I needed to be free at the moment im sorry. I passed out. But I was safe don't worry. Ethan t-" "Ethan? The boy who took you tobthe hospital yesterday?" He cut me off.

I nodded. "Did he? Did you guys? Okay continue.. " I was lost but then I figured out where he was coming from. "No dad nothing happened. He took me to his house when I passed out and put me to sleep. He took care of me. Trust me he wouldn't do anything like that. " he nodded and then smiled. "So your not pregant or anything right?" I laughed histerically and so did he. "Oh god day no! Im still a virgin dont worry!" I laughed. He cringed at the words and nodded and shook his head.

He got up kissed my head and started to walk out of my room. "I would like to meet this Ethan dude. Seems pretty "chill". That's what you kids say nowadays right?" My dad says and I cringe. "Dad never say that again." I laugh. He nods while laughing and walks out of my room. It felt good telling my dad the truth. But it hurt to tell him about mom and the man.

I sat there for a while thinking about what is going to happen with my mom and dad. Well should I say my dad and "Edna". She wasnt worthy now of the label "mom." She cheated on my dad with another man. And she did it with him when I was aware and in the house. Gross. I still love my mom. But I dont think I could forgive her.

***

It was around 3 when I got a text. "Hey its Ethan." How did he get my phone number? "Oh hey, um how did you get my #?" I texted back. "Well I sort of went into your phone when you were at my house after the party." um okay then. I laughed "wow stalker much huh?" I responded.

"Uh yea something like that. No actually I was wondering if you could go on a picnic with me today around 4?" A picnic? Aw that sounded so cute. Usually boys would ask to go to the movies and then try to get into your pants. But nope, not Ethan. He was different. And I liked it. I agreed to go and told him to come to my house when hes ready.

An hour later...
I heard a knock on the door and ran down the hall. Before I opened the door I turned around and spoke to my dad. "Ethans here... To take me on a picnic. Dont freak out. And I'm going so too bad. " he laughed and nodded his head. I opened the door revealing Ethan with a bouquet of pink roses and a smile on his face.

Omg! "Pink roses for your rosie cheeks." He said. He laughed and continued with. "That was cringey." I laughed and shook my head. He stepped in the house and I introduced him to my dad. "Dad this is Ethan the guy I told you about. And Ethan this is my dad." They shook hands and greeted each other. "Nice to meet you sir." He said. You could tell he was nervous. "What's up Ethan I'm Ian. Nice to meet the dude who my daughter told me about." He smiled and we stood there in akward silence.

"Yea okay well we gotta go, ill be home soon by dad love you." "Bye ana bye Ethan y'all have fun. but not too much fun now." He said serious but then lost it and started laughing. I faked and akward smile and rolled my eyes. Why does he have to embarrass me.
