Chapter 13

I hurry down the stairs on Monday morning as I pull my handbag up over my shoulder. I double check the time on my phone and cringe. Looks like I don’t have enough time to make myself a proper breakfast this morning. Damn it, I’ll have to grab something to go and be hungry until first break.

I sigh as I continue down the stairs. I’m not going to let that get me down. Today is going to be a good day. I feel it in my bones. After all, Nate is taking me to get my baby back before school. I’ve never been so excited. Oh, and the fact that I’m going to see Nate has everything to do with it.

I come to a screeching halt at the bottom of the stairs as a man stands before me. “What the fuck?” I gasp with wide eyes.

“Tora,” my father scolds. “Watch your language.”

I gape at him for a second, not really caring what curse words just slipped out. “What… what are you doing here?”

“I’m home,” he tells me, before quickly glancing over his shoulder to mom, then back to me. “Didn’t your mother tell you? I came home early. I flew in last night.”

I shake my head as mom speaks up. “I wanted to surprise her.”

“Congratulations,” I grunt. “I’m thoroughly surprised.” And slightly pissed off. I mean, this was the guy who behind the whole ‘break up with your boyfriend’ drama. I want to be happy he’s here as if I’m honest with myself, I still sort of missed him. After all, he is my dad. He’s been gone for the better part of six months. You know, apart from that one little trip home where he decided to ruin my life.

I can’t stop gaping and realize I don’t know what to say. “Um….”

“It’s good to see you, sweetie,” he says, ignoring the fact that I look extremely confused, and apparently ignoring the fact that I’ve been ignoring him for the past few months. Dad reaches for me and draws me into his arms, the same way he did when I was a kid and I can’t help that desperate need within me to feel love from my father. I sink into him and let him hold me as I’m hit with the realization of just how much I’ve missed him. “I missed you.”

“I missed you, too,” I murmur into his chest, and just like that, all the pain I’ve held within me dissipates as though it was never there. He’s my dad and although I sometimes hate on him, I still love him with every inch of my being.

“Come on,” he says, pulling back. “Why don’t you come and have breakfast with your mother and I before you rush off to school?”

I can’t help but cringe. “I, um… can’t,” I tell him, wondering if what I’m about to do is the right thing. “Nate’s taking me to pick up my car.”

Anger flashes behind his eyes but he manages to keep himself together.
