I Don't Wanna Face It

I stared at the man, "You're my father?" I questioned him.

I crossed my arms, "Are you sure?" I scanned him up and down.

The man sighed, "Yes." He said.

I bit my lip, letting my arms rest. Scott nudged my side, eyeing at my home.

I looked up, seeing Mum look out the window. Was this why she's been so off?

I looked back at my father, "Come in" I coldly said, walking towards my home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mum? John?" My voice echoed in the silence of the home. John Twist is my step dad, he's been more of a father than my own dad.. He's been at work so much lately, he doesn't seem to notice I'm gone. Good. If he ever found out what I do, I'd be dead.

"We're here, darling" Mum rushed out from the kitchen, pouring multiple cups of tea.

I stared at her, Weird.

"John" Mum bowed her head slightly and rushed back to the kitchen. She's probably getting John.

Dad leaned towards me, "Your mum is acting weird" He whispered.

I glared at him, "I don't blame 'er" I said as Scott and I sat down on the couch.

The woman and dad stood their awkwardly.

I rolled my eyes, "Do sit down" I faked a smile.

The woman and dad sat in front of Scott and I.

Scott wrapped one arm around me, "So, are you Yoko?" I asked the woman.

The woman smiled at me, "Yes" She smiled.

I faked another smiled, "Charmed to meet you" I said. God, I hate acting this fake. I'm not charmed to meet her, she fucking broke my parents up.

"How's Sean?" I asked Dad.

I wasn't even able to meet my new brother. Mum said dad and Yoko had to be clean until I could see them again. It took them this long? Did dad not even remember I'm here?

"He's doing good" Dad smiled.

Mum and John rushed out.

Dad stood up and shook John's hand, "Nice seeing you again, John" Dad smiled.

"You too" John said, unsure.

Mum and John sat at the other couch beside Scott and I.

Mum twiddled with her thumbs, John started sweating a little. I had my arms crossed, angry at my father even being here. Scott just smiled like a dork, holding me close to him.

Yoko stared at me as did dad.

"You're so grown.." Dad whispered.

I groaned, "Yeah, that's called puberty." I said with an attitude.

Dad looked down at the floor, he seemed a little hurt.

"Julia, don't talk to your father like that" Mum scolded me.

"And why not? Why the 'ell is he even 'ere?!" I raised my voice.

"Julia" Scott said.

I pushed Scott off of me, getting up. "No, no. He doesn't get the right to suddenly come here and claim my love again. This man" I said, pointing to my father. "He shouldn't just come around here thinking everything will be alright! Because it fuckin' isn't!" I threw my arms up.

Mum stood up, "Do not use that language in this house!" Mum raised her voice, pointing at me.

"Ooh! A finger! What a fuckin' threat!" I spat back.

I pulled Scott up from the couch. "I don't need you and I don't need you!" I pointed to mum and dad.

"Come on, Scott. Let's get out of 'ere." I grabbed Scott by his jacket, dragging him outside.

"Julia!" I heard a voice call me.

I ignored the voice as Scott and I walked down the street.

"Julia!" I felt someone turn me around. Dad.

"What!?" I growled.

"Look, let me explain" Dad said.

I crossed my arms, "I should go.." Scott awkwardly said.

I sighed, "See you later" Scott said, running back to his house.

Dad stared at me.

I glared at him, "Well? Go on!" I said.

Dad sighed, "Yoko and I wanted to wait until we were fully clean before seeing you" He said.

I let out a fake laugh, "Really? Eight fuckin' years? Eight years it took?!" I shouted.

Dad placed his hands on my shoulders, "Calm down, Julia. We never forgot about you. You deserve a better dad and I hope John gave that to ya. But I want us to become close again. Please, let me repay you all those years."

He looks genuine..

I sighed, "Fine" I breathed.

Dad smiled widely, hugging me tightly. "Come on, let's get back inside. We'll catch up" He smiled, wrapping an arm around me as we walked back home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dad and I walked back inside. Mum rushed towards me, hugging me tightly.

I chuckled, "Mum, it's fine." I said.

Mum shook her head, "I shouldn't have shouted at you like that, I'm sorry."

I shook my head, letting go of mum. "I deserved to be yelled at once in a while" I smirked.

Mum chuckled, turning to John and Yoko. "How long are you two staying here in England?"

Dad looked up thinking, "Well, as long as we need to. Actually." Yoko nudged dad.

"We're staying for two weeks" Yoko politely smiled.

Dad eyed Yoko, then smiled back at us. "Yup." He said.

I slowly nodded, Why does she get to decide this? 

"Sounds gear" I put one thumbs up.

"You two should get to catching up" Mum smiled at me.

"i-Um.. Today?" I awkwardly asked mum.

Mum chuckled, "Yes, of course today. You have all afternoon" She smiled widely.

I bit my lip, looking at dad and Yoko. Going wherever with them, it like being kidnapped by strangers.. Wouldn't it? 

I sighed, "Alright.." I softly said.

Mum kissed my forehead, holding my close to her. "Would that be alright with you, John?" She asked dad.

Dad smiled, "Of course" Yoko started walking down the stairs.

"Come on then, Julia" He chirped.

I faked a smile, "Great" I said, following dad and Yoko outside into their car.

 Just great.
