The Unwanted Daughter

Chapter Five

Well, my mom deiced to make her entrance very public. We are at some town party or gala thing at the mayor's house. Mom tells me to blend into the crowd that way the chances of someone seeing me are less. Currently I have no idea where my mom is, most likely tormenting the Salvatore brothers. I'm supposed to get a text when to come out and show my face. 

In the mean time I decide to look for someone to talk to. I spot Matt I think, I think that's what the Forbes girl told me at least. He looks nice to I go and talk to him. 

"Hey, I'm Emma." I simply say.

"Umm, hi Emma. Are you new to town? I haven't ever seen you." He does seem nice and harmless

"Yup, just got in yesterday."

"Well, I'm Matt. How long are you planning on staying?" He asks a lot of questions, why does he need to know so much.

"I don't know, I think for a while though."

"Oh, that's cool. Are you going to Mystic Falls High?" Again with the questions.

"School is probably not in the cards for me." Truth is I've never been to a day of school in my life, so I don't think I'll be starting now.  I see a flash of confusion cross his face and I know I need to explain."My mom home-schools me that's all." I'd say that's a pretty good cover.

"Oh, that's cool."

"Yeah, not really. I'm cooped up in the house all day, so oddly enough not that great."

"Oh, well maybe I'll stop by one day. Where do you live?" Oh no, he can't know where I live. I think I've gotten his hopes up for a friendship, and that's great and all. He seems like a good friend, but he's too innocent for me. 

"I don't think that's a good idea, I'm pretty sure my mom would kill you." Not a lie in that sentence, my mom would kill anyone who found out where  our safe house is. "But maybe I'll stop by your place one day, if you tell me where." I smile as I say this.

"Yeah, it's not like I've got parents around." Okay, now I'm confused by his life story, and I can read people pretty well. I've got a lot of experience. He sees my confused face and it's his turn to explain. "My parents don't live here anyone. My mom will stop by every once in while to make sure I'm okay, but she's usually at the beach with her boyfriend. And my dad left when I was a kid, so I don't know him." Now I understand. "What about you, what are your parents like, other than your mom who is obviously controlling.

"Oh, well my dad left before I was born and it's always just been my mom and I. We travel allot though, so we are never in the same place for long." Nothing but the truth. 

"Well your dad is missing out on something great, too bad he left." Is he trying to flirt with me, cause he's not my type.  But also because, he could get a good girl here in town, and my mom would freak if she knew I was dating a townie from a town we hate. Now I really want out of this conversation. So I excuse myself to the bar.

"Well thanks for the complement, but I'm going to get a drink." And I walk off the bar to get some champagne.  

Shooting down the first glass and sipping the second.  Until I see my mom. and she walks up to me. 

"It's time baby girl, if you want to see your father get hurt now's the time, outside by the lake." 

I jump at the opportunity, after all it's time to see him suffer after all the suffering he has caused me. This will be a nice scene to watch.  My mom starts to walk as I gather my thoughts, but I quickly respond. "Wait for me, I'm coming " I say as I dash to my mom. 

When I get to where my mom stops I see my father looking at Kat in astonishment. I then get his attention as his eyes shift from mom to me. 

"Hello father, long time no see." I say smugly. 

"Emma, what are you doing here?" What kind of a stupid question is that? 

"That's cruel Stefan," My mother chimes in before I could say something stupid like coming here to see my aunt that he doesn't know about. "Not wanting to see your own daughter."

"Emmerson, I'm sorry." I snap at the name, he of all people does not get to call me that.

"Don't ever call me that again, only people who actually care about me get to call me that." 

"Okay, I'm sorry, but you and your bitch mother do not belong here, now get out." This only makes me angry.

"We don't belong here, says who?" I shout "What makes you the person to say that. Haven't you fucked with my life enough, let me go where ever the hell I want to go." As my temper and anger rises my mother interferes. 

"Emma calm down" She simply says, but this only makes me more angry 

"You want me to calm down, he is telling us to leave when we have done nothing wrong." Stefan starts to see how angry I am. My shouting is starting to draw a crowd making Stefan starts to walk away. "Yes, just walk away father, walk away, it's the only thing you know how to do. Walk away from your family like a coward, like you did so many years ago to me. I don't even know why I come back to see you when all you is walk away and ignore me, and disappoint and hurt me. I don't know why I continue to care about you, when you don't give a crap about me." At some point during my speech I started crying. I see a crowbar nearby, I grab and shove into my father, and walk away from the crowd. I don't care about all the people who saw me, I'm sure my mother will just compel them to forget about me. 

My motheris hot on my tail as I walk away though.

"Emma!" I don't stop

"Emma!" I still don't stop

"Emma, you don't hate him, you may want to hate him, but you don't and you know that just as much as I know that." Now I stop.

"Do you want me to say your right, cause your right. As much as I would love to hate him I don't and I can't. And as much as I would love to hate him I can't he's my father no matter what he does." I say in response and my mom just looks shocked. 

"Emma, I know you are hurt and angry. But this is why I told not to come back here. I told you, you would get hurt. And I'm sorry this is the life I have given you, it's not fair to you, I know that. You deserve better than this, you deserve so much more than this, and I'm sorry I can't give that to you. So lets just please get out of the horrible town, and go somewhere fun and forget this place." 

"Mom, I can't do that. I need to find out why. Why he hates me, why Elena lied. I need to find out if my life was truly a mistake, and this is the only place to find out." I know all the stories and am fully aware that my life was never meant to happen, but it did and I need to find out why the world is so against me and why I have to run my entire life. When I say this my mom just looks at me and understands. 

"Okay, I'll stick around for a little bit, but the minuet that someone talks I'm out kid. You can choose to stay or to go. Emma, I know you need this and you deserve to find out. But don't forget there is always someone out there on your side. And I'll always love you no matter what anyone says, your my baby girl." I'm happy my mom is going to stick around.

"I love you too mom." 

I honestly have no idea what I'm looking for in this town but to get revenge, but maybe along the way I'll find something new. 

Well lots of emotion in this chapter, which is odd cause I'm writing this quite calmly, so maybe it sucks and maybe it doesn't, but I hope you guys like it.
