Silently I'm in an Uber on the way to my dad's house, just thinking about Max. My heart flutters at the thought of last night, just the last few days I've spent with him have been beyond amazing, and I'm so sad they have to end...

"We're here" the Uber driver declares

"Thank you ma'am" I smile, getting out

"Let me help you with your luggage"

She walks to the back of the car, and retrieves my suitcase out of the trunk, "Thank you so much!"

"Of course" she starts walking back to her car so I stop her

"Wait!" She turns around and I pull out a twenty from my wallet "here"

"Oh my god!" She smiles "Thank you"

"Of course" I nod, then drag my suitcase up to my dad's door... maybe I should've warned him that I am coming

I go up to the door and knock, my dad answers pretty quickly "Hell- Amanda?" He furrows his eyebrows

"Hey dad!" I smile

"What are you going here?"

My smile drops "I was in the Bay so I wanted to come visits"

"You should've called first" he sounds mad "Nows not a good-"

"Daddy!" A small child hugs his leg and my eyes widen

"Go inside honey" my dad shoes the kid away

"Babe?!" I hear a woman call and my eyes widen

"Dad?" I plead

"Dammit Amanda" He looks at me angrily, then a woman comes up to him and hugs into his side

"Who's this?"

"I'm his daughter" I growl "Also the person who bought the fucking house your living in!"

"Babe, is this true?" She furrows her eyebrows and he looks at me terrified

"N-No, I don't know her"

"D-Dad?"

"Can you please leave?" She furrows her eyebrows

"SO THIS IS WHAT YOU DO AFTER MOM DIES?" I scream "You just have a whole other family now?!"

"Honey it's not what it-"

"So this is your daughter?" Her eyes widen "You never told me you had a-"

"I fucking hate you!" I scream at my father "YOUR THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT AND I GUESS NOW I HAVE NONE!" Tears spill from my eyes "Cause you don't know me and I'm not yours right?"

"Joshua?" She pleads "What's going on-"

"She's crazy" he shakes his head

"Dad" I cry

"Mommy?" Another girl around seven years old comes by

"No wonder why mom thought you were a piece of shit" I shake my head, grabbing my suitcase and running down the street, then when I turn down the block I break down crying and call Max

Ring ring
Ring ring
Ring-

"Amanda" he sounds happy

"M-Max" I choke

"Are you okay?" He asks, concern present in his voice

"Max" I cry "It's my dad"

"Is he okay?" He gasps

"He has a whole other family" I cry "He has two daughters"

"What?!"

"I went to his house and they were all in the house I bought him! He pretended like he didn't even know who I was"
