Youth by Daughter





I sat in front of my mirror panicked and confused.

What does he want from me?

What does he want me to do?

Why me?

I kept asking myself questions until mum knocked my door. I quickly adjusted my hair and forced a smile.

" Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked me.

" Ummm. It's my room." I tried to look as convincing as possible.

" I know that. What about Chelsea and Tania?"

" At Chelsea's place."

" Why were you left out?

" I wasn't. Just came to look for something and go there."

" Look for what?"

" Mum, why so many questions?"

" I have to ask of course. Who knows if you are going to meet Mr. Parker's son"

" Mr. Parker's son?"

" Is his name not Aiden? Don't act dumb."

" Seriously? Why does everybody keep talking about him?" I said as my phone beeped.

He must have sent the address.

" Everybody? So it has gotten to that level?"

" Well, that is the point. You are all taking it to that level."

" Darling, what level are you talking about?"

" What?"

" Is he your boyfriend?"

" Hell nah!"

" He better not be. Your dad would feel weird."

" What about dad?"

" Your dad is his dad's employee."

" How come i didn't know that? Our dads know each other?"

" Yes. They are kind of friends sometimes."

" What does that mean?"

" Let us just say your dad is a trusted friend of his dad."

" Wow. That is a lot i have to take in."

" I better not tell you too much or you would tell Chelsea."

" I am not as loose as Chelsea."

" But you are loose."

" What if i tell Chelsea?"

" Why so many questions?"

" You were the one asking questions."

" Go over to her place would you?"

" Are you pushing me out?"

" Maybe." She said and walked out of my room.

" That wasn't nice enough." I shouted and sighed.

Why didn't i tell her about Jake?

" What is wrong with me?" I asked myself after hitting my hand on my head.

I thought about it again and decided to go to the address he sent to me. I wanted to listen to what he had to say and just leave him to his madness. My life had been doing fine since he left and when he came back, i hoped things didn't go worse than i expected it to. I took my phone and checked the address he sent.
