"Hazardous"

Chapter 14

Emily's POV

We all stood in silence for a few seconds, both my parents frozen with unhappy expressions glued to their faces. I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to explain any of this too them as the last time I had spoke to my dad about my date with Jay I had said how he didn't have to worry about him anymore.

A cough from my mum bought me put of my thoughts.

I saw Jay step forward as he was stood slightly behind my smaller frame, his hand now taking a hold of one of mine. He could obviously sense my nerves at the situation.

"And who might this be Emily?" My dad asked a sense if authority in his voice as the questioning I knew was inevitable started.

"I'm Jay McGuiness nice to meet you guys" Jay surprisingly introduced himself holding out a hand for my father.

They shook hands before my mother walked forward introducing herself to Jay before pulling him into a hug, whilst sending a wink my way making me flush of embarrassment.

"Why don't I make us all some tea and we can sit down and have a chat?" My mum suggested this whilst walking over to the kettle leaving my dad stood there still glancing between Jay and I. I could tell he had noticed Jays bruised jaw but had yet to comment on it.

"It's okay thank you, it getting late so I should get going." Jay spoke. He pulled me into a hug pressing a kiss to the top of my head before waving to both my parents and walking out of the front door. I heard Jays car roar to life and that's when I knew he had left, leaving me to know answer all my parents questions that they were bound to ask.

"So is that the boy you went on a date with before then?" My dad asked. We were now sat around the kitchen table, each of us drinking cups of tea that my mum had made us.

"Yeah that's Jay, the boy who I told you about before, he's in my English class at school.

"And he's your boyfriend I assume?" My mum now spoke up, a teasing smile now graced her face as she was obviously happy about the situation.

"I wouldn't call him that mum......" I was hesitant with my answer, as I myself was still unsure what to call him. I mean we hadn't really discussed anything yet apart from that fact that he claimed I was "his".

"Of course he is hunny, did you not see the way he was looking a you like you? How he was always touching you hand or hugging you. He didn't even seem intimidated by your father" she lightly chuckled whilst leaning into my fathers side whilst he wrapped an arm around her and kissed her cheek.

It always made me smile seeing my parents together, always giving me hope that maybe one day I could have such an amazing relationship like theirs.

I shook my head at my mothers silly thoughts.

"So why was Jays jaw bruised Emily?" My dad's tone was once again serious compared to my mothers light hearted approach to the situation.

"Ermm he umm, acidentally got hit by a football when we were at the park earlier with his friends."

I knew I couldn't exactly tell my parents the truth about the whole situation with Jay or I would never be allowed to see him again. I wasn't exactly lying about being at the park earlier either.

"Boys and their football eh?" My mum lightly chuckled. She always knew how to make a situation better, especially when it came to my dad and his overprotectiveness.

"Just be careful Emily and if he ever, I mean ever hurts you, you tell me straight away, you promise to tell me and I can deal with it?" I could sense that this was just my dads way of dealing with the fact that I'm growing up and he just wants to protect me.

I nodded standing up and pulling both my parents into a hug, glad that they were accepting of Jay, and didn't judge him instantly like so many others had already done.

As I thought about my dad's words, I remembered the phone call that had

happened with Derrick earlier. I knew that it wasn't Jay who would intentionally hurt me or my dad would need to protect me from but Derrick and his group; but I couldn't tell my parents about this. Not now not ever.

I had said goodnight to my parents, not wanting to stay downstairs and have them question me anymore about Jay.

As I sat down on my bed I heard my phone beep, signalling that I had a new text.

From Jay<3

Night beautiful, see you tomorrow morning x

I read the text, a smile forming on my face. Just messages like that which are so simple from Jay mean so much to me. I didn't bother texting back, but decided to get an earlier night for once suddenly feeling extremely tired from the events of today. From the phone call from Derrick, the argument with Jake, to Jay being injured, and to top the day off Jay meeting my parents, today was extremely eventful.

I set my alarm, making sure that I would wake up in time to get the bus for school tomorrow, and feel asleep with my thoughts consumed on whether I should confront Jay about the phone call that happened earlier with Derrick.

Jays POV

The same night......

Once I had left my girls house after the awkward encounter with her parents, who I was barely introduced to, I mean I still don't know their names. I made a mental note to ask Emily about them tomorrow. I drove home worried that my mum would have already left for work meaning I would be locked out as I accidentally forgot my house key when I left this morning for school.

I just got home in time before my mum left for work. I gave her a hug, feeling bad that because of my dead beat dad she had to constantly work to keep a roof over our heads.

Once I was inside and had said goodbye to my mum, telling her that I would see her tomorrow after I got home from school I decided to play on my PS3 for a bit.

I couldn't be bothered to complete any of my English work that I knew I should be working on as I had other things to do, for instance enjoying a beer whilst playing FIFA 13.

It was getting late in the evening so I quickly sent Emily a text saying goodnight before deciding to think about the best way to deal with this situation with Derrick.

I was broken out of my thoughts by a knock at the door. I put down my beer and opened the door, swinging it open to see who would be visiting someone at this time of night.

My fist tightened around the door handle when I saw the man standing at the door. The man who I hadn't seen in years, and despised with all my being. He was useless in my eyes and I was fuming as to what right he had to stand here in front of me on my property when he had been gone for so long.

We were stood in silence. I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I had thought of this day many times, my thoughts filled with what I would say when I would finally be given the opportunity to give him a peace of my mind. I despised this man for what he had done to my family.

My deadly thoughts were broken by his gravely voice speaking; the voice that I hadn't heard in years.

"Hello son."
