Finding Out

6-

EMERY'S POV-

He looks at me hesitantly before taking a big sigh.He looks me dead in the eye and I can already feel the tears brimming in my eye sockets.His silence is an answer enough for me to know.Why would my mom leave him at the one time he needed us,he could have died and my mom would not have known,then I would have grown up looking for him when he would not have even been existing.

"Hey hey Em,it's okay,I am here now and that's all that matters"He says in his soft british voice,I can't help the tears that are slowly trickling there way down my cheek bones.

Without hesitation,he places his thumb on my cheek and slowly starts to brush the salty tears away.

"There is no need to cry baby"He says to me and that is when I jump up on his,wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"I will see you later Em,you can spend time with your Dad,get to know him,I will text you tonight"I look round to see Tyler with the biggest grin on his face,me and him have been best friends since we were 6,we met in grade school and we have been inseparable ever since.

"Okay TyTy, Thank you for bringing me!"I release my hold from my Dad and go give  Tyler a big hug,placing a soft kiss on his left cheek.

He hugs me back before walking off towards the exit.I turn background to see my Father smiling.

"Is he your boyfriend?"He asks me,a little hint of protection laced in his voice,well atleast I think it is protection.

I laugh at his question,but when I look up to him I can see that he is serious.

I stare at him before answering his question."He has bee my best friend since I was 6"I answer truthfully,that is what I have missed from having a dad,that sense of protection that they have over you,Damon protects me ,don't get me wrong but he does not do it a lot ,but now my real dad is doing it,I can't help but have butterflies form in the pit of my stomach.

And then my mind drifts to something else.

"Where are you staying?"I find myself asking.He looks at me and replies.

"A hotel,I don't really have a house but now I know that you are here,I will be looking at an apartment or a house"

"Can I stay at the hotel with you tonight?"I ask and he looks confused and hesitant at first but replies by nodding his head.

Now that Tyler has gone,I need a ride to go and get some clothes and some toiletries,but if Hardin takes me then he will see my mom.

But you know what I do not give a fuck,let my mother see him,let her know how much she ruined his life,let her find out how she left his during the worst period of his life.

When he had.....Cancer,I can't even think about the subject without a portion of bile rising in my throat.

"I would have to go and get some clothes first,would you mind dropping me off,you can wait in the car if you don't want to come"

"I can drop you off and well I kind of want to see my son,if that's alright?"

"Oh you mean my brother,yeah sure,let's get going then"I grab ahold of his arm and wrap it around his shoulder,I have longed for this feeling for so many years,all the birthday candle wishes have finally come true.

=========

He stops the car outside the address that I designated to him,our town house is nothing spectacular,it is just a normal house,a modern one for that but the part I really love about is the fact that it is private and that we are secluded from everywhere and everything.

I step out of his black ford capri and pull my house keys out of the pocket of my leather jacket.I grab his hand and make my way to unlock the front door.

I enter the keys into the lock and open it carefully,I want to see my mother's face when she sees who I brought home with me.

I step inside the hallway and place my my leather jacket on the coat rack before calling out to my mom .

"Mom I am home"She quickly replies with.

"I am in the kitchen sweetie"I look at my Dad and take a deep breath before walking into the kitchen,My mom's back is turned away from me,she is washing dishes I presume as her stance is directly in front of where the sink usually is.

I scoff to get her attention and when she turns around her grey/green eyes go wide.

She does not say anything and just continues to stare.

"H..Hardin"She manages to say and within seconds Damon is rushing from the living room right into the kitchen and once again another person's eyes go wide.

I don't really know why Damon is surprised,he saw Hardin yesterday?

"Emery why would you bring him here?"Damon asks randomly out of the blue.

"he brought me here as I am going to be staying with him tonight,I don't really want to be in the same facility as her!"I scowl pointing my index finger at the Mother.

"Your not staying with him!"My Mother finally pipes up with and all I do is let out a giggle and can't help but do an eye roll.

"You cant' tell me what I can and can't do!"

"I am your mother!"She yells at me.

I step right in front of her face.

"You took me away from my Dad when he needed us the most!Your a monster!"I shout back at her letting the tears stream down my face,I promised myself in the car that I would try and keep my cool with her but right now she deserves this.

"Em,Em calm down!"I fell arms wrap around my waste and pull me back,My dad turns me round so I am crying into his chest for the 2nd time today.

ENJOY MY LOVELIES!
