Chapter Twenty Four•Father
hello dad.
Ariannas Pov

As the day went on so did the family drama. Apparently my aunt had an affair with my uncles best friend, my nana dropped the F bomb in the middle of prayer, and my father showed up. Although he was smart enough to stay away till everyone had left.

My father and I didn't have a good bond. He cheated on his than wife, with my mom and than cheated on my mom with half the town. It took her so long to even walk outside the house without someone looking at her in a different way.

Tommy barely even likes him.

"What are you doing here?" Tommy asked, as my mother led my father into the kitchen where the three of us were.

My fathers expression turned to confused once he saw the beer bottle in both Cierras hand and mine.

"You let them drink?" He scoffed turning to face my mother. Her face turned somber and I shook my head. It wasn't any of his business.

"To be fair, you don't control me old man." Cierra responded, leaning back in her seat. Tommy laughed a little. My father met my eyes and smiled slightly.

"My little Ari. How are you princess? How's senior year?" He walked toward me and I wanted to laugh right in his face. Unfortunately for me Cierra did.

"Senior year?! You're actually slow." Cierra remarked, my father glared at her and I glanced to her. A simple 'chill' in my eyes.

"I'm in college dad." I finally spoke, he shook his head and forced a laugh.

"I'm sorry Arianna. I knew that." He apologized and came to wrap his arms around me. He definitely didn't know it. But I would let him think that I forgave him. Sometimes it's better to be silent.

My father moved away from me, and went to stand beside my mother. He smiled smugly towards her than Tommy and I.

"What's going on?" Tommy asked looking between the two of them, just like I was.

"Your mother and I have something to say." My father spoke, and than reached down for her hand.

The beer that was Cierras mouth was spit out the second he touched her. Tommy gasped and I just watched. This wasn't actually happening. They weren't actually..

"We decided to start over again. As a family." My mother smiled looking at the three of us. This couldn't actually be happening. She was happy about this..

"You're joking." I exclaimed, shaking my head. She didn't need him, she didn't deserve him.

"We aren't." My father stated, leaning down to kiss her. My stomach dropped , my heart stopped. She wasn't actually going to get back with him.

"Are you actually serious mom? Cause let me just say, guys like him DON'T change. Once a cheater always a cheater. Do you remember how hurt you were over him? How many times you begged for all the pain to go away?! The days you spent embarrassed and the nights you cried yourself to sleep?" I shouted, confused as ever. My mom always told me to never settle for less. That's exactly what she was doing.

It reminded me of him.

I stopped for just a second, and realized I sounded exactly like Cierra. Cierra the night of the party. She stood up for me because she thought she knew what I wanted, thought she knew how I felt. When really all I felt was my love and feelings for Lucas. I knew how my mom felt in this moment.

She was hurt that I remembered and probably pissed that I brought it up. Just like I was with Cierra, but the way that he has her wrapped around his finger, it makes everything just simply go away. I felt that way.

"I'm leaving." Tommy finally said, as he got up from the kitchen table and ran outside. My father had yelled his name to come back but he was already out the door. Cierra glanced to me slightly than got up to follow him. She would always consider Tommy her little brother.

"I'm sorry." I sighed and went to follow the both of them.

--

We had all came back late that night. Tommy had went straight into his bedroom and Cierra followed shortly behind to mine. My parents were no where to be found. I went into my bedroom and walked in as Cierra was stripping into some shorts and a tank top.

"How you feeling?" She asked while I started o undress too.

"I know how she feels Cierra. I know what it's like to want something for yourself but know that it's not good for you. It's like what you said, me choosing Lucas and getting hurt didn't just hurt me.It hurt you too, it's not always about what we want inside."

"Lucas is the past Ari. Don't stress over a man..no, a boy, who won't blink for you." I was confused by her analogy but I smiled anyways.

"Besides, Liam is pretty fucking hot." She winked getting in bed beside me. I chuckled softly pulling the cover up over the two of us. I didn't know if the boys were coming tonight but I was exhausted.

"I feel bad for Tommy." I mumbled. Cierra turned to face me nodding in agreement.

"He doesn't even get along with your dad. He's never here with your mom. I didn't surprise me that he left."

"Me neither."

The conversation stopped at that. I was just about to fall asleep too until the tapping started. Cierra looked over at me, than the window where it got louder. Sighing I got up, Cierra right behind me and immediately smiled.

"The boys are here."
