Boy Next Door 2 | l.h [completed]

Chapter 2

After everyone said their greetings, we all went inside.

My mom and I put away the bags.

As Luke scooted next to me with Matthew, my mom announced,"You three are such a cute family" she grinned widely, cheek to cheek.

"Thanks mom" I half-smiled.

"I'm sorry" my dad came in and announced.

"Sorry for what dad?" I furrowed my eyebrows and looked up at him.

"Sorry for saying that you were too young. I-I just thought that you two weren't mature enough to have your own family" he stuttered.

I nodded my head a little and then answered. "It's okay dad" I slowly said.

He half-smiled and came and sat next me.

"You three are a lovely family" he said.

"Thanks dad" I smiled.

"So, would you like to help me with the table Luke?" My dad asked.

I looked over to Luke. He nervously swallowed and nodded his head shakily.

"Okay. Let's go" my dad got up from his spot and walked over to the kitchen.

Luke nervously smiled at me and handed me Matt. "Go get him tiger" I joked.

He playfully rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen as well.

"So, mom. How has it been?" I asked.

"It's been lonely without Kevin" she started to cry.

"Oh mom. I'm sorry. I'll go get the tissues" I offered and walked past the kitchen door.

I heard some speaking and I heard my dad say something about me and Matthew.

I know it is wrong, but I eavesdropped.

"So, Natalie came back from jail Mr. Diamond?" Luke asked.

"First off, call me dad. Second of all, yeah. She has been in her room since ever she got back" he announced.

"I feel bad for her" Luke said. I heard the clinging of the glass ware and the silver ware.

"Why is that?" My dad asked.

"Because. She's sick. She has a sick mind" Luke said.

"Mr. Dia- I mean dad, do you think it's wrong if I go visit Natalie soon. Should I visit her with Emma?" Luke asked.

"Ask Emma" my dad suggested.

I rolled my eyes on how stupid Luke was being on even asking that. Why would we ever visit her for what she did to us?

Just then, my phone started buzzing.

I quickly answered who ever was calling so I don't blow my cover.

I practically ran to the other side of the room to answer it.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone once I hit the green button.

"Is this Emma?" The same voice asked from earlier.

"Yes. Who is this?" I asked like I had before.

"Ashton" he plainly said.

"Ashton" I repeated in a lower voice.

"Emma, I miss you" he announced.

"Ashton" I repeated. My heart sped up and my eyes were widened.

"Emma?" He asked.

"Yeah?" I said shakily.

"How's the family?" He decided to say.
