Mia's pov:

My dad is coming home any minute now. I can't wait to see him. Leah and I were downstairs in the living room. My shift at the diner luckily ended early. 

Leah and I got up very early. Dressed. Ate breakfast. And everything. 

Leah looked half nervous. Maybe it was because she is meeting my dad. I sat on the couch with her and we waited for my dad. 

I did think about what Dylan said to me yesterday in front of the bathroom. But I'm not sure if I should let him in just yet. Or trust him. I know his attitude did change towards me. And I know he heard me when I had the dream about him. But it was just a dream. I kept telling myself. I'm not ready to get close to a guy again, just to get hurt the way I did with Brandon. I want to be sure this time. I do like Dylan. Not going to lie. He is very attractive. And he has amazing beautiful eyes. But I need to be sure that I won't get hurt again. I don't want to date another asshole. I want someone who cares about me. Who can show me I'm special and wanted. I don't need another Brandon. He hurt me too much to take that chance again. I can't risk it. So I'm pushing Dylan away as much as I possibly can. 

Dylan and Alex came down and went into the kitchen. Dylan gives me a smirk again before he goes in. I ignored it this time. And just looked to the floor. 

Don't fall for it Mia. 

I told myself in my head. I need to be strong. 

You can't fall for it. 

Just then my dad comes in at the front door. He puts his things down in the hallway and comes to me. He hugs me and I hug him.

"Mia. I'm so glad you're here.  I missed you my girl."

"Hi dad. Missed you too." 

He lets go of me and holds out his hand to Leah. 

"You must be Leah. I'm Mia's dad Eric Jones." 

Leah meets his hand to shake on it. "Nice to meet you sir."

"Just call me Eric."

He looks at me. "We will talk soon Mia. I have to talk with your step mom first." 

"Ok." I nodded my head.

He looks at Leah. "Thanks for letting me know about what is going on here, when I'm not around." 

Leah looks to the floor. "Yeah."

My dad goes upstairs and I looked at Leah, waiting for her to explain what my dad meant.

"Mia. I'm sorry. I had to do something."

"What did you do Leah?"

"I send your dad a video of the other day your step mom snapped at you. I'm sorry. I couldn't take it the way she was with you. And the way it hurts you."

"Why? Leah? Do you have any idea what you just did?" I said to her panicking.

"I can't deal another of your depressions Mia. I'm sorry. Your my best friend. And I love you so much. And your mom can't afford you going into it again too. You know that." 

I looked to the floor and there were tears in my eyes.

"Mia I did it for you. It's time your dad knows the truth of how your step mom is treating you. When you had the depression it was hard on me. And not just me. But on your mom too. Every time you harmed yourself, she called me in tears." she pause a bit. "Mia your mom didn't want to loose you too. And I didn't either. I care about you. You can be mad at me for what I did. But I did it for you."
