Good Girls Gone Bad- Luke Brooks <3

chapter 6

I seriously couldn't be any happier that Eliza and I have become so close to the boys. It's crazy to think that just a few weeks ago we were just hanging out for the first time. It didn't take that long to be this close; we all got along really well. And on the bright side, Eliza and Beau seemed to be really, really close, if you know what I mean. I don't think Eliza sees it but Beau seems to really care for her and it's seriously the cutest thing ever. And for Eliza, she simply melts in his presence. She tries to keep it covered, but I see right through her act. It's really cute actually. I hope it works out for them; Beau is a really nice guy.

I was getting ready for school, as usual, when someone seemed out of the ordinary. I was hearing my mother speaking. There is no one else that lives in this house except for me, so who could she be possibly talking to. Don't get me wrong she has friends and gets along with all of our relatives but she usually doesn't socialize this early in the morning. And then I heard exactly who she was talking to. A male voice was ringing my ears, but not just any male voice. My father.

I felt limb for a second. What is he doing here? I haven't heard of him since a very long time. Mom rarely talked about him and I never questioned it because I knew it was hard for her to live without him. All I know is that they got divorced and my father decided to leave us. Since then, I haven't had any respect for my father. I mean how can a man leave his wife and his own child afterall? No phone calls, no nothing. I never really understood why he did what he did. I always wanted to know but I figured it was better to just forget about it.

I slowly went down the stairs trying to not make any noise. I tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but it failed miserably. The last step made a squeaky noise and their heads snapped in my direction.

''Oh, hey pumpkin!'' My father said after he saw me.

I was speechless. I had no idea what or if I should respond to that. He pushes me out of his life for most of my life and he has the nerve to show up out of the blue and simply greet me with a smile? I frankly don't understand. So I just stare at him emotionless and very confused.

My eyes shift from him to my mom and I try to find an escape to this conversation they are about to have with me. How did he know we were here? Did my mother tell him? If so, why would she do that? And lastly, why is he even here in the first place?

I could I had to be the one to break the silence and answer my dad so I say, '' Why are you here?'' with no real intention in knowing the answer. He looks at me briefly and then looks at my mother. If they're going to tell me that they are going to get back together, I don't even want to hear it. Especially if that's going to be the start of my day.

'' On second thought, I have school so... I'm gonna go'' I say as I walk out the door leaving no time for him to answer. My mind is all fuzzy and I don't know how to feel. Should I be happy that he is here. Is he back for good? Or is this just a replay of what happened in the past. Is my mother okay with all of this? Plenty of questions fill my mind as I plug my earphones to hear Lana Del Rey playing.

Jai, Luke, and Beau weren't there when I got out of my house so I'm guessing I'm either early or later than usual. I decided to just walk to school alone with music filling my ears while trying to clear my head. I walked for several minutes and decided to go to the library. I was in a weird mood after the incident and I didn't want the boys and Eliza to question me on my odd behaviour. When I got there I went to a table in the back and just stayed there for a while. My phone then vibrated which drove me out of my thoughts.

Eliza - hey girliee , where u at? :)

I smiled slightly and decided to suck up my feelings and ignore them for the day. I texted her back telling her I was going to meet her at my locker. I shouldn't feel like this, it's stupid. I'll just have to suck it up.

I spent the rest of the day just faking it all. I pretended I was okay but for some reason I wasn't. I don't want to be here knowing my dad is as well. When I was a little girl, I would always wish foe him to cone back. Eventually I grew out of it because I had no other choice. I Had realized that there was no point in hoping for something that was never going to happen. Some days I remained angry and some days I slightly still hoped to have my dad back. What hurt me the most was knowing that he never tried to have any contact with me what so ever. I thought I meant at least something to him. I'm his daughter, that should mean something right?

Seeing him this morning after all these years really startled me. But most of all, I'm just worried for my mother. She could probably forgive him like that because she was always so in love with him. It wouldn't surprise me at all to know that she still wants him in her life.

It was already lunch time and everyone was just talking about whatever. I was pretending to listen and just kept quiet. Eliza looked at me and mouthed, " are you okay?" ans to that I responded with my best fake smile and nodded. She seemed comvinced with my response and continued with the conversation. After a little while, I got up and said, " hey I'm really sorry guys but I have a huge test next and I didn't get to study so I'm gonna go. See you later" I got up and grabbed my stuff while I could feel them looking at me weird.

"Lucy didn't study. Thats a first" Jai said and Beau chuckled. I chuckled and left while waving them goodbye.

The two next classes were not long enough to my liking. It was the end of the day and I walked to my locker getting all my stuff. I looked around me and sighed. I did not want to know what would happen once I got back home....
