Chapter 33~ finding out

   Emery

   It had been months since I'd seen Mattia in person. It was too dangerous for us to see each-other. I hated it. We'd been on FaceTime for most of lockdown.

But finally the lockdown has been lifted and I'm getting ready to see my boyfriend for the first time in what feels like eons. Senior year is just around the corner and I'm exited to start a fresh with my best friends.

I searched my dresser for something to wear when I found one of Mattia's hoodies right at the bottom of the middle drawer. How did I forget I had this? I put it on and to my luck it still smelt just like him. God I missed him so much.

I skipped downstairs in a cheery mood when I stopped in my tracks at what I was hearing. I got my phone out and clicked on 'voice recorder'

I wasn't sure what was happening but I needed this because all I heard was 'babe' and my dad didn't call my mum that ever.

"Yes babe don't worry I've already told them I've got a business trip to go to. We will have the whole weekend to ourselves."

Surely that's not my dad right? No I know it is.
I gripped my phone in my hand making sure it was on.

"I know babe, I missed seeing you too but I've been stuck here with...you know" he sounded annoyed that he'd had to spend months in quarantine with us. Every second I grew angrier and angrier.

Tears were threatening to fall hearing what my dad was saying. He said things like "they annoy me so much" and "I would love nothing more than to come live with you but you know I can't risk my image"

I scoffed. He was having this conversation in OUR living room. Someone's too comfortable.

I hated him. At that very moment, I hated him.

I remember when he came back from one of his 'business trips' and thought he could order me around. Yet he wasn't going behind all our backs?

I had been standing there for so long making sure my phone recorded everything he said. I was planning on confronting him about it. I also needed evidence. I may be stupid sometimes but I've seen enough movies and books to know that it pisses me off when they don't record the conversation of them confessing to something.

I heard my dad end the call so I stopped recording. I instantly made my presence known. I forced a smile on my face and sat on the couch. "Hey dad!"

He looked scared for a second but he'd obviously thought I'd heard nothing after how cheery I sounded.

But I wasn't happy at all.
I was pissed.
