He stares at me wide eyed.
"Why would she come here to kill you?"
"A couple months back I found out that Tessa was trailing us. She had a traveler inside her head. First I killed the traveler, then I killed the real her. End of story." I write down the second math problem and I think about something that makes me crumble.
I'm going to die in 2 months.
A tear slips out of my eye and falls onto the page.
Well, at least I won't die a virgin.
I wipe the tear away and Dad sits next to me on the bed.
"Are you okay Lizzie?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I be? You're gonna do a spell to save me and I'm gonna do a spell to save all of you and everything will go back to being rainbows and sunshine."
"Are you scared? Lizzie you can tell me anything."
"I'm terrified! Because I'm-" I stop myself, pursing my lips and he takes my hand.
"What is it Elizabeth?"
"I need to tell you something and I want you to promise that you won't look at me like I'm a stranger that just kicked a puppy."
"Tell me."
"When I was 15, I went to a club and I slept with a guy." I take a deep breath as he buries his head in his hands.
"Elizabeth..." I throw my pencil down as tears escape my eyes.
"Was it not enough just having family at 15?"
"I didn't know if I was going to die the next day! In fact that was the night I got kidnapped! So screw you! I can't believe you! You're not allowed to look at me like that I'm your daughter god damn it!!!" I storm downstairs, angry but glad he didn't find out I'm going to die. Mom catches me.
"Lizzie what's wrong baby?"
"Ask Dad." I say fiercely. I pull my arm out of her grasp and Dad comes down with tears going down his face.
"STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!!!!" I scream.
"HOW DID YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT?!?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT?!? USE THAT GOD DAMN ANGER AND JUST SAY IT! YOU WERE STUPIDER THEN I WAS ASSHOLE!!!!" He looks to Mom then back at me.
"What's this about?" She asks.
"The night I got kidnapped 2 years ago I was at a club. Quinn and I had a few drinks, watched a band, then the guitarist started hitting on me. Name was Jack Barakat. He bought me a drink, we danced for a while then we had sex in a bathroom stall." Dad shakes his head.
"Now Mom knows. Now hopefully I will die and I won't be such a disappointment." I turn on my heel then grabbing my jacket, I slam the front door.
