Chapter 5

It's Saturday, my best day of the week because I don't go to school but today is my worst Saturday so far because I will be meeting my so called father in one expensive restaurant some where down the street.

Not to brag, my family is a very wealthy family but I hate when people follow you around trying to invade into personal lives and for certain reasons which I am yet to find out, my mom said is best nobody knows about me so instead to living a lavishing life and buying too expensive stuffs that will attract attention, we just lived a normal life like other normal people.

Lucy, get ready in twenty minutes, we don't want to be late. I heard my mom said from the door which has hardly been opened ever since that argument unless I wanted to take an important thing which is not in my room or go to school.

I ignored her and pretended I was asleep and that reminds me, who the hell gets ready in twenty minutes, I asked myself.

I have been looking for excuses which will hinder me from going for somedays now but none is coming into my head now I need it most.

After spending up to an hour doing nothing, I decided to go get dress and accept my fate to meeting him.

**********

We are finally here.

Actually this is my first time of being in a restaurant. Don't blame me because I am an introvert so I prefer saying behind close doors.

Right now, I don't really know how to behave and I am very nervous.

My mom noticed my discomfort and she told me to behave normal and she tried cracking a joke to ease the tension but I ignored her but I won't deny the fact that I was relieved a bit.

I walked into the restaurant with her and looked around before spotting a man siting alone at the far end of the restaurant and I confirmed it was him when my mom started working toward his direction.

Hello dear, you must be Lucy the man said while standing up for a hug which I rejected immediately by hiding behind my mom. 

So sorry for that she is not comfortable with human contact, my mom said

No problem, I understand. the man replied

Actually I don't know his name that is why I am referring him as the man.

Jack meet Lucy, Lucy meet jack your father, my mom said

I didn't wait for him to reply before interrogating him because I wanted to know why he hasn't showed up till now.

So Mr. jack, I started....

I don't know who you are and I don't care who you are but can you tell me why you decide to show up now I don't need you?

Who do you think you are to leave anytime and appear anytime, do you what you have deprived me? 

Do you know how my childhood has been without you in my life?

I have a lot of question to ask so its better you start answering them right now or I will walk away and the both of you will never see me again. I threaten

Jack please ignore her. she is a bit under the weather, my mom said while hitting me under the table.

What!!!??,

you think I am joking right now, I said while standing up getting ready to walk out

Will you sit down there Lucy, my mom scold with a high pitch attracting attention to our table

Jack can I talk to you outside, my mom said while standing up

And you, she said while looking at me, you better behave yourself or you will see the other side of me. Sit down and wait for us, we will be back in a minute. she said while working out

I bent my head sobbing when I felt a presence on the table only to look up to see Jessica the queen bee of my school in the most slutty wear I have ever seen sitting were my mom just left, I was a bit surprised to see her without her two sidekicks.

What the hell are you doing in this kind place. she asked

I am not in the mood now Jessica so please leave me alone. I said

oh! she can talk, that's nice. she mocked 

what do you want? I asked her

what do I want, she repeated while laughing

I saw your mom walk out with a guy and who is he?, she asked

That's none of your business, I said

oh! but I want to make it mine, she purred

who the hell makes such a sound I asked myself while glaring at her

Anyway, I overheard your conversation and I am not surprised that your mom is a prostitute, no offense though, but I suggest that you don't reconcile with the man because he may not be your father and if it is possible, you run away from home because they may not even need you again and you are better off on the street. she said with a mocking pitch.

Please leave me alone, I said

Anyway I just wanted to inform you that I recorded all the conversation even the one you had with you parents and I am going to upload it to the school group chat and show everyone how pathetic your family member is. she said while showing me her expensive phone.

I was very scared and she was smiling before we knew what happened, someone collect her phone, deleted the audio and gave her back the phone before the voice said "A pretty girl like you shouldn't bully other girls" and when I looked up to see who, I was so surprised to see MR. JACK!!!!.
