Aquamarine (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 80

Aqua's pov

-

When you're accustomed to waking up to soft honey lips, green eyes that sparkled and blonde hair that matched the colour of the sun, you surely would be pissed to wake up to the face of a man you tried to kill.

I rolled my eyes before closing them tightly, hoping that his face would disappear and I would still be in a dream, waiting for my Beverly to arrive and take me out of this nightmare

"I... How are you feeling?" he mumbled

"Leave, thank you so much" I groaned and turned on my side, using my back to face him

I'm not sure how I ended up in my room, safely tucked away in bed but I wasn't going to question it. My entire body ached in pain, my muscles were all sore and my head was spinning me.

Not to mention I felt this stinging pain in my chest, a combination of missing Beverly and physically strain on the veins of my heart.

"You... You seem like you're in pain" The man said

"Surprised you care" I mumbled and closed my eyes, remaining in my same position

"I... Okay I deserve that" he said

"What are you doing in here" I groaned

"I wanted to check on you" he said, there was such a low volume to his voice, he actually seemed genuine

"Why?"

"Because you're my daughter-"

"Oh now I'm you're daughter!?" I hissed and turned my face towards him

The anger that was starting to push through my veins seemed to disappear when my eyes landed on his body.

His jaw was still swollen along with his cheek, there were bags under his eyes and scratches all along his face. His shoulder was slumped over and there were open wounds still on his body, some still fresh of blood while his chest heaved heavily, almost as if it pained to breathe. I could feel my heart slow it's pace just thinking about the amount of pain he might be in, then again I caused that pain.

"I'll get out of your hair, I'll be in the main room if you need me" He mumbled before rising and heading towards the door

I remained silent and held my head low, my eyes running over my body that had a few bruises on it but nothing compared to his.

The man stopped at the doorway and glanced back at me

"I really do love you Aqua, I'm not the best father.. Frantically I haven't been acting like a father at all. But I want to make this work, I just... Don't want to lose you" He mumbled before leaving

And just like that, my heart skipped a beat. I could physically feel all of the blood drained from my face and an unknown emotion washed over me by his words.

Oh for fuck sakes, now he decides to act right? What the heck was I supposed to say now?

I honestly have no idea how to react, how often does your toxic father say he wants to change?

I groaned and peeled myself off my bed, well it wasn't much of a bed. It was more of bedding filled with seaweed and soft animals that humans didn't know existed.

"Hey, you're not supposed to be moving around" A voice came from the door

I glanced in the direction to see the woman standing there with her arms crossed but soft eyes

"I'm fine" I said sternly

"No. You're not" Megan said

"I'm pretty sure I am" I said as I adjusted myself, hovering from the ground
