Backstabbed (H.S)

Chapter 11

I walk over to my moms room to check up on her. She had her PJ's on and was deeply sleeping so I turn off the lights and whisper goodnight.

I shut the door softly, trying not to wake her up because she's probably more tired than I am.

I walk up the stairs, and into my room quickly. As I'm changing into my PJ's, I hear the front door open.

The only other dang person who has the key to my house.....Dad. I quickly walk down the stairs, reaching my dad before he even got to the living room.

"Mack? Go to bed, you have school tomorrow." he says, calmy whispering, as if nothing had happened at work today. He's pretty good at hiding guilt. I wonder what else he's hiding from mom and I.

"Tomorrow's saturday." I roll my eyes, "and I'm not going to go to bed until you explain to me why you were hours late today."

"What are you talking about, Mack?" he says, putting down his suitcase next to him.

"It's almost 12:30am! Mom and you normally get here TOGETHER at 8:30pm."

Dad only nods.

"We had dinner with Anne and Harry today. Sad you missed it." I say sarcasticly.

Dad widens his eyes. "That was tonight? I tottaly forgot." he says, running his hands through his grey hair.

"Yeah, you were pretty busy with your clients." I say, squinting my eyes at him.

"What?"

"DAD. Mom and I both know what you did at work today." I start to feel tears form behid my eyes.

I kick his suitcase in fustration and look at him straight in the eyes.

He's just standing there. Hands on his hips, worry filling his eyes. His breathing fastens and I know he's hiding something now. He can't hide it anymore.

He lets out a big sigh. "We can continue in the morning. Go to bed."

"Ok. Bye." I walk over to the front door, open it, and signal with my finger, "bye."

"What are you telling me here?"

"I'm telling you to leave. We will talk tomorrow, but you are most certainly not staying here tonight. If mom sees you tomorrow morning. She will kill you."

"You can't kick me out of my own house." He gushes.

"Do you really want to stay here after what you've just done?" I raise an eyebrow, loud whispering, remembering mom is still asleep.

Dad puts his head down. He grabs his suitcase and walks out the door, giving me one last glance before disapering into the darkness ahead.

I close the door quickly but softly.

I run up the stairs, jump into my bed, sink my head into a pillow, and let it all out. I scream, hit, cry, and talk into the pillow. All my emotions flow out.

When I'm done, I feel lighter. I take of my clothes off one by one, until I'm in nothing.

I grab my towel, wrap it around me, and quickly walk to the bathroom. I let the warm water sit until the mirror covers up in fog.

I step inside and the hot water burns my skin, but I get used to it after a while. I don't know why, but this helps me relieve my stress.

Why would dad do this to mom? Has mom done anything to offend him? Does he know how big his mistake was?

So many questions float around my mind, I actually get dizzy. I slide down the shower wall, putting my head in between my knees. Taking deep breaths, I stand up again after a while.

Why did he do this?

I turn off the shower and wrap myself in the towel.

I wait till I'm partially dry to actually leave the bathroom and go to my room.

Finally, I'm dry and I open the door to the bathroom. As I turn the corner, I bump into someone and fall backwards. Thankfully, I'm still covered all the way with my towel.

I look up and see that with the little light shining in the hallway, it's my mom.

"Sorry sweetie, are you ok?" She says, bending down at my level.

"Yes I'm fine...what are you doing?" I ask, curiously.

"Seeing if you were asleep, on your way to your room and then this...." she chuckles nervously.

"I'm going to bed now. Goodnight mom."

I give her a peck on the cheek, "This will all go away, I promise, mom." I say, backing up.

She gives me a small smile, turning around and walking down the stairs, back to her room.

I continue walking towards my room, thinking of what will happen next.
