Deadly Love

Chapter One

I hear about people dying everywhere by accidents and diseases, lives taken from different reasons, but never heard of dying mysteriously without any real evidence of their death. I just hear gossiping everywhere from different places around California, 'scratches, bites, and wolves'. People say the forest is very dangerous at night, but I never believe imagination. In California there was no such thing as wolves until now.

My father is working as an officer at California Police Station. It's a big city and people gather in this city for its beauty, vacations, schools, colleges and tourism. I've always been that kind of shy girl who was always friendly. My father is like my closest person in my life, he was always here for me and he will always be. He raised me after my mother's death when I was just a small child of eleven. I was too young to accept her death and went through all the barriers in my life, but my father was the one who suffered the most. He always loved her more than anything in the world, and he fought hard to get her. He always respected and loved her. He told me that she was his good luck charm, but when she died everything changed in our life.

 I awaken by the annoying alarm. I groaned as i stretched my hand to grab it and turn it off. Today was the first day in college. i stood up and went to my bathroom.

After having a relaxing hot shower I got out from the bathroom with a towel hugging my body and went to look for something nice to wear for college. After setting down with a dark jeans and a nice red top along a cute beige flats and matching purse. I done my long curly caramel hair and put a little bit of mascara and lip gloss. Looking at the mirror I felt satisfied with my look and ready to begin the day with joy.

"Alex! you are going to be late." my dad called downstairs.

I ran downstairs. My dad was sitting across the kitchen's table reading the 'boring' newspaper. I put my bag on the table, and joined my father

"Yes dad?" I asked.

"Good morning sweetie" he said before kissing me on my forehead.

"Good morning dad." I walked to the kitchen to make breakfast, and my dad stood up and sat on the couch.

"First day at college, huh?" he asked, a smile on his face.

"Yeah" I always hated the first day at school.

"So, are you ready?" He asked. I half smiled, not knowing what to say to him. My mother told me that your father will always love you and protect you more than anything until you grow up and I'm glad he have been always by my side.

"Okay" he laughed. I always loved my father's laugh, his little deep dimples on his cheeks and his shinning eyes full of hope.

"So Alex, do you want me to pick you up or do you want to drop yourself?" he inquired.

I took the eggs from the refrigerator and grabbed the frying pan out before putting it on the cooker with some butter on it. "It's okay Dad, you can pick me up." Looking at my dad expression he laughed quietly.

"No you can ride today to college, because I'm busy after work" he gave me a weird smile and stood up and went towards the living room.

"Okay..." I trailed off, "What are you going to do?" We never hide anything from each other, we always shared secrets.

I cooked the eggs and took some cheese out of the refrigerator and two pieces of bread and took them to the table. Dad grinned and sat at the table. I put the plates together on the table and then sat on the other side; I took the bread out and started eating. My father stared at me like he wanted to say something. Judging by his face hiding something. "So Alex, what are you going to do today at college?" he asked.

"Just college" I answered, "Dad, you didn't answer me?" I repeated as he was hiding his face from mine. "Dad what's wrong?" I said worried. He left the spoon and folded his hands together and bit his lower lips.

"Listen, honey I want you to understand something" he finally said. "I know you love your mother so much, but" He hesitated, "there are things that you won't be able to understand, and I love you and I have loved your mother all my life, but things have happened lately" He took a deep breath and begin "Well, I got to know a woman that I've fallen deeply in love with and-"

"What!" I yelled, interrupting him. I stood up angrily trying to figure out what he just trying to get at.

"Alex, listen. Know it's hard for you, you have loved your mother so much," he continued "but give me a chance to explain."

I didn't know what to say; I just stood there, tears running down my face... "You loved my mother so much and promised to love her forever," I cried, "right?" I looked at him angrily.

"Alex, I met her two months ago and......." I didn't let him to complete his thoughts, "What! Two months? You were hiding this for two months?!" I cried out "What about never hiding anything from each other? And friends for ever 'BFF'?" I fumed "I think it was all a lie to make me forget my mother and you want me to replace my mother" I pushed the chair back and took my bag.

He stood up and held my arm, "Alex please let me explain." he hesitated.

"Dad, you lied to me for... A longtime" I barely speak the words out of my mouth.

"I didn't mean to" his eyes were full of fear following his steps to me.

"Is this is another lie of yours?" I pushed his arm away and took the car keys, my bag and ran outside without looking back.

"Alex! Please stop, let me explain this!" he yelled following me out the house. I didn't answer him I just quickly opened the door and started the car engine and started driving, I couldn't help, put replay the incident form earlier inside my head. I couldn't believe how selfish he was.

I have never thought that my father would do something like that to me. I stopped on the road pass way, cried loudly for a while remembering the hard time we went through after my mother's death. I still remember his eyes full of fear and sadness, but I don't understand. He always told me that he would never be with another woman after my mother. I couldn't take this all in.
