《Why would I do something like that? I've had my own daughter ripped off my whole life and I've just had her now, do you really think I'd hurt her?》

《You can never know, I had once a parent who abused physically and sexually of his son and he came here like you saying it was kids fault but his son writted a letter to me so we've found out》 she said looking above her glasses.

Chris pulled off his phone and went on Instagram.
《I have a proof that it wasn't me, there is a video online》 he kept on typing on his phone until he found it.

A person posted on Instagram a video where Abigail and I could be seen beaten.
The principal was just shocked by this video.

《Look, that's her and that's Abigail》

He was pointing us on the screen so she could see better.
The principal readjusted her glasses

《Abiagail, what's her last name?》she asked.

So I've just answered to her because Chris didn't know her last name since he had just met her.

《Abigail Reyes》

《Okay, fine I'll just call her parents to let them know. Who were the boys?》

《I don't know. I've lost my mom a few days ago and I was letting everything out to Abigail. It had me crying, it wasn't easy. So one of them stopped and said  "Do you want a real reason to cry for?" And he just started to beat me. Abigail wanted to defend me but her friend got her》

As I said that, I was looking at my feets. I was just uncomfortable. I was hoping that she would let me go out of there.
The principal removed her glasses and adjusted her red head.

《Until I don't know who they are I'll need to suspend you and Reyes to prevent that. Has anybody else beaten you or other?》

《Well, yes》

I was about to say it in front of Chris, I still couldn't look at them so I just was staring at the ground.

《Victoria Morgan and her friends. They lock me into the toilets sometimes, insult me and other stuff》

She putted her glasses back, pulled out a pen and wrote down her name and some random notes just next to her name.

《Fine, I'll call you when I will have taken adequates measurements. You're free to leave the school, I'll call Reyes to my office immediately》

Chris stond up and shaked her hand.

《Thank you so much, principal》

We've walked away and got out of the school.

《Why have you wanted to do that?》 I asked to Chris

Your dad has been trough shit as well, so I've just understood》

《Can you please drive me to my old house? I am ready to go there》

Chris agreed and we went into his car.
Pierce The Veil music played again which was amazing.

《Ah, Pierce The Veil, nice dudes》 said Chris driving

《You know them?》

《Yes, we aren't like best friends but yes, I do》

《Oh wow, amazing》

《I'll bring you to my next event so you'll meet them》 he said smiling.

I smiled back. I've been smiling a lot around him. He's not that terrible in the end. The rest of the car ride was him singing a bit and me looking at the road. He has a great voice to be honest, I should listen to one of his songs maybe.

Once we arrived there, I just took my keys and opened the door.
It was so weird not seeing my mom coming at me to tell me about her day or hearing her singing Vasco Rossi's song. I decided to go directly to my mom's room, I wanted to take some stuff from there.

I went to her dressing and took a look around. I just took one of the dresses out, a black one with red roses. I decided to keep it so I could wear it and think about her. I also took her favourite red dress with black dots, I will take it to her grave tommorow.
I looked around until I found a journal and the photo album I saw when I was fourteen. I took them both, I will find answers into the journal and will show the album to Chris. As I was done I couldn't touch anything else in the house, I was hoping that it will go to me so I'll live here again someday.
I went to our bathroom and took her perfume and her favourite red lipstick that she would wear on a regular basis, I was going to keep them as well.

Next, I moved to my room and took last few things, few clothes and other and putted them into a luggage I've found into my closet.
When I was done I went back to my mom's room one last time and found Chris inside.

《Dad, I am here》

It still was difficult to call him dad but I tried anyway.
He had a little smile when he heard the word "dad" but had sad eyes.
He was sitting on the edge of my mom's bed with a picture in his hand.
It was a beautiful picture of my mom when she was young, around sixteen or seventeen years old. She was staring at the camera smiling and holding a rose. She was wearing her red dress with black dots and red lipstick. She looked so beautiful.

《You look a lot like her》 said Chris staring at the picture sadly.

《I wish, she was so pretty》

《You are beautiful as well》

I didn't say anything else. I just went and sit next to him.

《I hate the one who ripped my woman and my daughter of me. I loved her so much and that person just took her away from me》

I could only feel sadness in his voice, it even was a bit cracking. He wasn't faking it at all. Maybe he wasn't his fault if he hasn't been there earlier in my life.

I hugged my dad. For the first time, it was me hugging him.

《I am here now, and not going away》

《Love you, daughter》

《Love you, dad》
