Friendship, Love And Hate

Chapter 8 <What if he regrets>

Walking back to my house I tried to text Liam but it appeared he had blocked me...

What was going on? What did I do? Did I say something wrong or do something... that picture wasn't such a big deal. Why did I react that way. He probably now thinks I'm some kind of control freak.

Okay I will not freak out.. tomorrow I will go talk to him. Yea... that seams like  a wise choice. 

I really don't want to ruin anything with Liam, I really really like him.

I enter my house and see my dad sitting in the living room. With slightly dimmed lights Reading a book. My dad loved to read, he read all the time when he wasn't working. But that didn't happen often. He had become workaholic.

"Hey dad" I greet him. And go sit next to him on the couch getting comfortable in the few pillows that were there.

"Hi Tori. " he answers and puts his book down. "Where were you? Its already eight" he questions me. I forgot to tell him I'll be late. But he trusts me. He says I'm old enough and responsible enough to not have a curfew. But I still think I need to tell him where I am. Even tough this was the first time in a while I'm actually staying out late.

"I was at a friends house" I say to him.

My dad raised one of  his eyebrows "a boy friend?" he asks suspicious.

I laugh at him "no. A girl friend. Her name is Riley and she is really nice actually"

"Well then I'm glad you are having fun" he says.

"Hey dad" I was trying to gather the right words "can I ask you something?" He just nodded.

"Are you happy with your life right now" I ask sincerely.

He lets out a chuckle "I have you, Cameron and that makes me feel happy, you two are the best things that ever happened to me. You two are my children and therefore you two are my everything. And I love you both very much" he says but leaves out Veronica.

"What about Veronica?" I ask him.

"Yea" My dad sighted heavily "I love Veronica too. I know that she is not here and possibly may have never return, but she still is my daughter and I will always love her."

"And mom?" I ask.

"Since she left" he continued after a moment. "She is only your mother to me. And nothing more. She did a terrible thing when she left and that's something I will never forgive her.  Not because she left me heartbroken at the time, but because she left her kids,  and that the last memory of her you have is her being an alcoholic. She is nothing to me now." He explained.

"You are mad at her?" He must be! right?

"If I was mad at her that meant that I felt something towards her. I am not mad at her, I just don't care for her anymore. She is a stranger in my world. She is completely dead to me" dad said I didn't fully believe him that he doesn't love mom anymore.

A few tears slipped my eyes. "No matter how sappy it may sound. I want you to find love again. Because you deserve it." I say to him, but he didn't say anything.

I wanted for my dad to find a women, because my dad was good looking man and I want for him to grow old happy. Me and Cameron won't be with him forever. When Cameron goes to collage, dad will be all alone. He will go crazy alone.

"I don't wanna talk about my love life" my dad shook me jokingly "tell me about your love life"

I lifted my head up from his shoulder "I don't want to talk about it either" I answer laughing "and besides there is no love life" I didn't want to tell my dad about Liam because it was too complicated at the time.
