Secrets

Chapter 67

Allison's POV 

I wish that this dinner can just go by fast now. I really don't want to deal with my dad today. I know I should probably try and put everything behind me but I'm still hurt by it. I don't like what's he's done. He's been rude to me since he left and hasn't even tried calling me. I have no reason to be happy about him coming here today. I really don't want Louis to have to meet him after everything. I really don't want to meet my dad's girlfriend either. I already know that she's rude. I mean she didn't even introduce herself at court or even acknowledge that I was there. I don't want her around me or Louis. I feel like she would probably go for anyone though. If she tries anything with Louis she's going to wish that she didn't.

I heard the front door shut. My mom looked over at me, "Be nice. Today's supposed to be a good day."

I sighed, squeezing Louis' hand. I've noticed that he's been more quiet than usual. I'm kind of happy that he is. I don't want him here to deal with all this. I'm kind of happy that he is here since I know that he can calm me down. I know he wanted to meet my mom too. I mean we've talked about it before. I'm glad that it's over with. I know I want to meet his mom but I have a feeling I'm just going to have to wait for that. I looked over and I saw my dad walk into the kitchen holding hands with his girlfriend. I don't even know her name but I don't really care enough to know it. I noticed my dad smile when he saw me, "It's good to see you. I've missed you."
I can't help but roll my eyes, "I'm sure that you have."

"Allison, I'm sorry for everything that's happened. Today is supposed to be a good day."

I sighed when I noticed him look over at Louis, "You must be Allison's boyfriend, Louis."

Louis shook his hand, "Yes, it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too. I like knowing who's in my daughters life."

I looked over at him, "You would have probably known if you weren't gone all the time."

I heard my mom say, "Allison, please stop."

I looked over and saw my dad's girlfriend start looking at Louis. She better not try anything. I know Louis won't pay any attention to it but I know I will and I will do something about it. My thoughts were interrupted by my dad saying, "This is my girlfriend, Erica."

I noticed her give a fake smile, "It's nice to meet you. Your dad has told me a lot about you."

"Uh hmm. I'm sure he has."

I heard my dad sigh, "Allison, what's your problem?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes, you've been extremely rude."

"Well I'm sure anyone would act the same way I've acted if their father stayed gone all the time, hasn't even called her since he left, left without telling her then having her mom tell them that and how their father has been having an affair the entire time."

He shook his head, "Allison, I'm sorry. I've done everything about this situation the wrong way. I understand why you're upset. Can you please at least be nice for today? Take this all out on me another day."

"Alright."

I know I've been rude. I'm upset about everything. I kind of just want to be alone with Louis. I know he can make me forget about all this. I know he's been thinking about something too. I do want to talk to him about it. I don't like knowing I have to wait. After a couple minutes I felt Louis kiss my cheek then mumble, "I love you."

I can't help but smile, "I love you."

I heard my mom say, "You two are so cute."

I smiled, looking down. I don't know if we're cute by the way we usually act. I just know I'm in love with him and I know he's in love with me. When dinner was ready we all sat down at the table. Louis and I sat on one side and my dad and Erica sat on the other. Then my mom and grandma were at the ends. I know I should probably tell my dad about how moved out and now I'm living with Louis. I know he's not going to take it well like my mom did. We mostly ate in silence for awhile. I felt Louis put his hand on my leg like he usually does when we eat. I'm sure everyone else can see it but I don't really care. I should probably say something about me moving out but I don't really want to right now. I just want to make the rest of the day better. I'm not for sure that it even will. We all ate in silence till my dad said, "Your mother said you had something you wanted to tell me."
