Addison's POV

It's been a few weeks since I last saw Stefan, and I've hated every second of it. I've been smelling the scent on his tie he gave me, I've even worn it a few times, his necklace and bracelet, I don't wear them, but I do stare at them, picturing them on him, same with his cufflinks. I've hidden his car keys in my underwear drawer so Dad won't find them, he won't go in that drawer. I just miss him, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I've been doing my best to avoid Dad, mainly staying in my room on my laptop, only leaving it when I need the toilet or to get food or drink. Dad hasn't been home all the time anyway, he's been working on his case to get Stefan locked up for as long as he can, but he's been keeping tabs on me being at home. I have gone in to work with him, but only a couple of times.

I was able to have my phone back, the police got all they need from it. I've been able to stay in contact with Jake, the others and Stanley. Jake, Cupid, Eli and Finn are supporting me and Stefan, they said they wouldn't have minded knowing and that it would have been cool actually, but they're not mad at me, they understand.

"Addison" I hear Dad call me as he comes upstairs. I ignore him as I close my laptop from my e-mails and take Stefan's tie off, quickly hiding it under my pillow and laying down on my bed, facing away from the door.

"Sweetheart" Dad calls as he opens the door.

"Go away Dad" I say.

"Not today, I'm not working today, it's been weeks since you've left this room for more than 5 minutes" He says.

"Because I don't want to be near you" I point out. I feel the bed dip as he sits on the edge.

"I was thinking, I could take you out in the car, start teaching you to drive, make use of that provisional licence I gave you" He suggests.

"I'm not in the mood" I mumble.

"Oh come on, it'll be good for you to get out of the house for a bit, and you'll be learning, learning something that'll be useful for you in life" He says.

"I said no Dad!" I yell as I look at him and then go back to how I was. Silence fills the room for a good minute or so.

"You should probably know that Stefan is pleading not guilty for kidnap and sexual assault in court" He informs me.

"He's right to do that because it's not what happened" I say.

"You lied to me about Stefan for so long, I don't understand" He says. I sit up and face him.

"Yeah, well, I don't really understand you either, keeping the truth about Sam and everything else from me, you say you kept quiet to protect me, us, but I think it was more to protect yourself, make you feel better about things!" I argue. "You might not like it, but Stefan and I are in love, this isn't some silly schoolgirl crush on a teacher or anything, we are in love for real, we love each other just like you loved Mum" I tell him.

"Addison, I raised you better than this-" I interrupt him.

"You didn't raise me, you did not raise me, Mum did, she raised me, you went out to work everyday while Mum raised me, and do you know what, Mum raised me to do what ever made me happy" I point out.
