"Have you talked to your dad since you've been home?" Zion questions from beside me
He hasn't left me since after we had gotten home. Everything seemed to take a turn and become more hectic than before I had left. I hadn't exactly been bothered to deal with it, so I've been either at home or the studio.
"Not since I had went to his house to talk to Cameron" I clear my throat
"Has Cameron said anything else?" He asks as he rubs his fingers through my hair
"Not really. He's still trying to figure everything out himself" I sigh
My thoughts had been occupied at the thought of my mom actually being alive. When Cameron has said something about it, millions of questions flooded my mind. Where could she be if she was indeed alive? What happened between her and my dad? Did she just up and leave us? Does my dad know where she is? My mind kept racing, the same questions hitting me over and over but one stuck to me.. Why did dad lie to us all these years?
"Novs, baby Cameron texted you" he says shaking my arm
He hands me my phone from the nightstand beside my bed. I put in my code before opening the message from Cameron.
Cameron:
Novs, meet me at dads whenever you can. I have questions that need to be answered and I know you do too. I'm heading over now. Let me know when you're on the way. Love you and be careful❤️
I release a deep sigh before removing myself from Zion's arms. I head towards my closet, throwing on some leggings with a hoodie.
"You going to meet cam?" Zion asks from my closet door
"Yeah. I'll text you later and let you know how it goes. I'll see you later. Be careful getting home" I say kissing his lips softly

Once I turn into the driveway, I unbuckle and tuck my phone away in my hoodie pocket. I open the door heading towards the living room where I know Cameron is waiting.
When I step foot into the living room, my expression immediately changes. In front of me sits Cameron, our dad, and some woman in business attire.
"Um, what's going on? Who's this?" I question taking the empty seat beside Cameron
"That's what I'd like to know. I walked in on them in dad's office. Dad, mind telling us who this woman is?" Cameron asks
My dad clears his throat before directing his attention towards the mysterious woman beside him "guys, this is Veronica. We've been dating for almost a year. She works for the people who sponsor my company" he explains
Me and Cameron both look at each other with the same expression but clear our faces of anything as we turn back to him.
"And you never mentioned her once because?" I ask
"Well considering this past year hasn't been the best, I'd say that's a good enough reason not to mention her" he says crossing his arms
I roll my eyes at his tone of voice. How does he expect us to be okay with this when he never once mentioned her to us?
"It's really nice to meet you both. I've heard great things about you guys" Veronica smiles brightly
I give her one back to be polite. I couldn't exactly be rude to her due to not knowing her and this not entirely being her fault.
"I wish I could say the same but we have dad to thank for that right? I mean, this isn't the only thing he's kept from us, is it dad?" Cameron gives a sarcastic smile
My smile drops as I can see the anger rolling off in waves from Cameron. Him and my dad seem to be in a glaring match, neither seem to be ready to break it any time soon.
"What are you implying Lucas Cameron?" Dad asks squinting his eyes on suspicion
I can tell this is getting serious by the way our dad uses Cameron's real name. He only used it as a warning when Cameron was an inch away from making him more angrier than before.
"I'm implying to you're a liar. You lied about mom. I know that you lied about her dying. So where is she dad? Where is our mom?" Cameron's seethes
