Melinda and thomas: book 7

Thomas

I hate being lied to.

I drove to my parents house looking for some advice from my mother.

I called for her upon entering the building.

No answer.

Daniel: she's not here.

Oh. OK. I'll ask you. When you are obviously lying  to her,how does it take for her to I don't know..... Move on?

Daniel: well, recently she thought I was lying about not choking her from behind. Then again I didn't exactly say what happened earlier that day at work so that's why I'm a suspicious character. And she tends to hurt herself to stop going to sleep alone. Wait-I-i think it is because of the thoughts of me being you know.... Like them. We talked about it and it got sorted out.

OK cool.

Daniel: how's the pregnancy coming?

Pretty good. Three more days to go.

Daniel: that's good to hear.

Yeah. I should get back with her. She's a worrier.

Daniel: I know what that's like

Bye dad.

Daniel: wait a second.

Yeah?

Daniel: I'm very proud of you two. You did the right thing.

It felt good to hear that.

I pushed the thought of my mom not being able to heat it away.

I know she wouldn't care about it at this point in time.

☺️ Thanks dad.

For the first time in a long time, I hugged him.

It's safe to say that my mom does This more than me.

I'll see you soon. Take care of them. I mean it!😒

Daniel: you have any word.😅

The afternoon of the whole JJ incident, he came to my room:

Hey Dad. How was your day at work?

Still In his work clothes.

Daniel: SOS. Til I got a call from your principal.

I-I

Daniel: wha-heh. 

He closed the door behind him,not Looking away from me.

Daniel: what's up with that?   

Nothing. I just-

Daniel: ok ok. Quick question: wha-you can be honest with me. What would you do if I bullied you? AND why?

Nothing. Your my Dad.

Daniel: nothing? That's crazy. 

I didn't know what to say.

Daniel: look, your my son so I'm not going to call you any names. But, I understand that you were just-..... Verbally defending yourself about what happened earlier that morning. 

He AND mom are huge anti bullying.

Especially if they're kids are doing it.

They ain't having it.

Daniel: you're good at ignoring people. So do that. 

Ok- yes sir.

Daniel: your mom loves you. No matter what. You know that?

Yes sir I do.

Daniel: all right. 

🙂We do our handshake.☺️

Daniel: night son.

Night dad.

Melinda: hey. Things ok?

Yeah I'm uh... Just wanted to see- just talked to my dad about something.

Melinda: about what I was doing-

No. It's okay. Just don't lie to me. about anything else. Can you do that for me? Please?

Melinda: yes. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Stop. Just stop.

I'm so aggravated with this

I'm going to sleep.

Melinda: oh, all right.
