chapter five

(A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long, I feel like I'm rushing this so I'm going to try to slow it down okay I hope you like it x)

We met the boys for lunch at a small cafe in town. I just got a coffee since I wasn't all that hungry. We had our usual conversation about our day so far. Luke's day had been pretty normal though he got assigned his first essay of the year today. Calum got yelled at for joking around. Ashton got sent out of class for playing drums with his pencils on his desk, the teacher has asked him multiple times to stop and Michael skipped second period. I just don't pay attention unless we have to take a test soon.

After school I have to go visit my dad to tell him. I was debating if I wanted to invite Michael or if I just wanted to go alone. My dad has always wanted to meet them, he only knows Marina out of my friends. I talk about them a lot but they haven't met. Sooner or later I had to tell them about my parents. Let's just get this over with..

"I need to tell you guys something" I look up at Michael and nod, tell him I'm going to tell them. He gives me a reassuring smile. The other three look up from their food. "I can't do it here"

"So let's go to my house" Michael once again smiles at me, he stands up and all of us follow. We get into the cars we arrived in and head to Michael's. I know they'll be understanding but I can't help but be nervous.

"You know, you don't have to tell them yet.." Michael breaks our silence, I look over at him, his eyes are trained on the road in front of us.

"I know but I think they need to know, I think I will feel better once I'm not hiding stuff from my friends" I bite my lip, I'm not changing my mind now. Michael pulls into his driveway and I sigh. "Let's get this over with" I say opening the car door and stepping out. Calum was right behind us with Ash and Luke riding with him. I couldn't help but laugh as we made our way up the walkway and Luke pushing Calum because he made some dumbass comment.

"What's up, Ana?" Ashton asks once we walk in the door

"Uh just sit down" I nod toward the living room, they all make their way through the archway and take seats on the longest couch. "Okay um well, you guys know how you've never met my parents?"

"Yeah" Calum's the first to reply, the others just nod their heads.

"T-That's because I'm ashamed to have them as parents.." I look down at my feet "My dad was um, he was arrested a year ago for drug dealing and my mom is a high head who apparently screws other guys" Once I gain enough courage to look up, Michael is nodding at me and the other aren't sure if they should say anything. "I left home after I found my mom with another guy in her bed so I'm staying with Marina until I forgive her.." I shrug "I'm telling you guys this because I want to be open with my friends, I'm tired keeping quiet and I want you guys to meet my dad"

"You want us to go to prison to meet you dad?" Ashton asks kind of shocked still

"Y-Yeah, if you guys are up for it. Look, I promise he isn't a bad person, he just made a stupid mistake. I've told him about you guys, he really wants to meet my friends who aren't Marina" I give them a nervous smile

"Ana, did you really think we would judge you because of this?" Luke asks honestly and I give him a small nod, my face becoming increasingly red.

"God, don't be stupid! Of course, we'd love to meet him, for you" Luke stands up, he walks around the coffee table and wraps his arms around me. I smile and wrap my arms around his necks, nuzzling my face in his neck. Michael gives me a proud smile and I giggle at how stupid I was. The others stand up and join of hug which makes me giggle even more, soon we're all laughing at absolutely nothing.

"Don't make plans after school, we are going to see my dad" I call over to Ash, Cal and Luke who are getting in Calum's car. I would rather not go back to school but we really don't have a choice.

Sitting in my last class of the day, I sigh. I'm nervous for them to meet my dad, I'm nervous for my dad to meet them, I'm nervous how my dad is going to react when I tell him about mom. They took it well when I told them my dad is in prison. I was expecting more silence.

Finally, the bell rings. I'm the first one out the door and I'm the first one at the cars. Ashton's the first one to come up.

"Are you sure your ready for this?" He asks placing his arm around my shoulders.

"I think so" I bite my lip and rest my head against his shoulder "I'm nervous but I think it's time" I admit as the other walk up. We get in the car, this time Luke rides with us. Michael drives ahead of Calum and toward the prison. Two big steps in one day.

Once we are parked in the lot, I lead them inside and over to the desk where Mary is typing something on the computer.

"Hi sweetie, twice in one week?" She asks smiling, I nod and glance back at the boys.

"Mary, these are my friends, Michael, Ashton, Calum and Luke" I introduce her to them "and boys this is Mary" I smile, she greets them quickly

"Where's Marina been?" She's asks smiling

"She's got a boy now, Mary" I wiggle my eyebrows and she laughs

"Make sure she's being safe and you can go around" She nods her head in the direction. She unlocks the door for us and they follow me inside.

"Hi daddy" I smile sitting at the chair in front of him. He seems surprised to see the boys but doesn't mention if.

"Hi baby" He smiles back

"This is Michael, Calum, Luke and Ashton, you know the ones I talk about" I smile up at them and they all have polite smiles on their faces.

"Guys, this is my dad, Blake" They all say their hello's and take seats in the chairs beside me.

"I like his hair" He points to Michael and I can't help but giggle

"Yeah, me too" I smile at Michael and he gives me a puzzled look.

"Keep an eye on your mother for me?" He asks quieter this time

"Uh yeah.."
