Chapter 68 - A Father Who Loves

VanderVall Academy- Tuesday 22nd May,2018-

Justin's Chambers- 4.37am

Justin tosses and turns in his bed barely able to get any sleep as he is too busy stressing about his daughter and about what could happen to her. Sarah is lying in the bed next to him fast asleep not moving and inch or making a sound. Justin opens his eyes and looks up at the roof giving up on any kind of sleep, he slides himself out of the bed and stands by his window and looks at the sun starting to rise on a new day. He turns his head and looks at Sarah and sighs.

Justin's Inner Voice-

"I wish there was a way i could turn back time and save them all from this, turn back the clock and stop Angelica before she ever started planning to hurt my daughter that way Kathryn and my students wouldn't have to worry about dying. If i could turn back the clock i would be able to save them all and no one would have to die but i know it's impossible. As horrible as it sounds some days i wish that night with me and Ophelia never happened, it never would have gotten us here and Kathryn wouldn't be in harms way because she wouldn't exist. I couldn't imagine a life where my Kathryn isn't in it. I used to watch her play in her front garden from a far, i watched her at her very first Christmas concert, I was there at her very first sports day, her very first day of school. I was there when she fell off her bike and cracked her head, I was there when her and Amy were so high and drunk that Amy ended up overdosing. Little does Kathryn know that she was dying too, I could only save one of them and it was going to be my daughter. If she ever found out she would probably shout at me for not saving Amy instead but i wouldn't be able to bring myself to make any other decision. I was there for a long time but no one knew it and she came here and she has been here for me. She has saved my relationship twice already, she helped me out with the school and some of the students. She has reminded me of what it feels like to know love again, she has saved my ass many of times and covered for me even when she wasn't meant to. She has stayed up with me while i worked on my paperwork then fallen asleep on the sofa in my office because i took too long. She was there to show me how to ice skate on ice at Christmas times and although i fell a few times she picked me right back up and kept me going. She was there when i cried over my parents on the anniversary of their death. As much as i have been there for her she has been there so much more for me without even realising it.

Flashback- 17 Year Old Justin-

VanderVall Academy- Library- 11.56am

Justin is sat at a far away table in the library and spots Sarah coming in with a group of her friends with books in her hand. He smirks when he sees her but she doesn't spot him sitting in the library. He closes up his books and leaves them on the table to come back too, he walks over to the girls desk and stands behind Sarah who is now sitting down about to open her books to get started.

"Do you ladies mind if i borrow Sarah for a moment?" Justin asks the four girls with a smile on his face

"Justin I should really get studying" Sarah answers him shaking her head no

"Go on, we will still be here when you get back and so will your work" Raya Montage assures her with a smirk

"Fine but you have two minutes" Sarah agrees, Justin hold out his hand for her to take. She does so and he helps her up off her seat and the walk off hiding in one of the many bookshelves away from the table.

"I had fun last night" He whispers in her ear while she leans on the bookcase and he stands directly in front of her, his hands on the shelves.
