Chapter 6

Liam

2 Days Later

Jonathan has only been gone for an hour, and I’m already wishing that he didn’t leave. Not because I’ve set up a dinner date for when he comes home and my patience is wearing thin. But because there is pounding on our front door, and a familiar voice screaming for me to open up. Well, for Jonathan to open up.

I take out my phone, considering calling 911, but decide to text my boyfriend first. The yelling is slurred, and it's likely that he’s just confused, right?

Liam: Hurry back. My missing father has returned and he’s banging really hard on the door.

Liam: He sounds drunk.

My phone pings almost immediately.

Jonathan: Do NOT let him in. I’ll be home in five minutes.

I sigh shakily, looking at the text. A bubble of unease sinks in, but Jonathan never lies. If he says that he’ll be here in five minutes, he means it. Seconds later, as I’m typing a reply, wood splinters and glass shatters. He’s kicked down the front door, storming into the house screaming mad.

“Jonathan!” He looks around frantically, somehow missing me in his sight. “Jonathan you son of a bitch!” he yells. “Where the fuck are you!?”

“He’s not here,” I say firmly, getting his attention.

“Liam?” His voice lowers, and his bloodshot eyes fall to me. He looks like shit. Like me if I aged twenty years and let myself go entirely. “What are you doing here?”

“I live here,” I reply, dumbfounded. “What are you doing here?”

Angered, he doesn’t answer. “Where’s Jonathan?”

“Not home.”

His eyes flick over my shoulder, finding the roses on the table. “Are you on a date?”

“I’m going to be,” I say carefully. “Soon. So, I’d appreciate it if you left before he gets here.”

A dangerous realization flashes over his features. “It’s you,” he seethes. “You’re the reason he sent me papers. You’re the man he’s divorcing me for.”

“If he’s divorcing you, it’s probably because you abandoned us. I’m no expert in romantic spats, but that seems like the logical explanation to me.”

“Oh you’re so fucking delusional, aren’t you?” He throws his head back in a broken laugh. “You actually think he loves you or something, don’t you? He’s nearly twice your age, you naive boy. You’re just a fucking body to him.”

Now it’s my turn to laugh, even if I’m undeniably frightened. “Is that supposed to hurt me? You don’t know anything about us. About me. I pursued him.”

Rage builds, and his face turns red. He attempts to move closer, and I step back causing him to pause. “You think you can just take him, don’t you? You can’t.”

“I already have,” I argue. “So why don’t you find someone else to fund your life. That’s why you want to be his husband anyway, isn’t it? Money?” Jonathan not only comes from money, but he makes a lot of it as a successful coach. It’s the motivation that makes the most sense to me, without love at play. And my father clearly feels no real love for my Jonathan.
