Forgotten

Chapter 13

“I can explain.” I said knowing that this time I really was at fault. My father won’t be happy that I was out with a boy, Lyssa would be happy because if I fall in love I am someone else’s problem and there is a bigger chance that she gets all the money, she won’t be happy if she finds out that he isn’t rich, because then she’ll assume that I will want my fathers money. Either way I’m in trouble no matter how I look at it. I’m going to have to lie, it won’t get me out of trouble, but it might lessen my trouble.

“I’m waiting!” My father growled, he was furious. I must have really made him worry.

“I was busy with a review. I didn’t notice how late it got and I had to grab a taxi to get home. I didn’t think you would be home so I didn’t think about letting you know.” I said in my defense.

“What did you eat?” Lyssa asked me. She wanted me to make a mistake.

“I ate a sandwich with chicken and green peppers and I had some juice with it.” I told her the truth of what I ate.

"Alright, but you should know that even when we aren't home all the rules count. you still have a curfew. next time there will be no excuses. you are to irresponsible and it needs to stop." i'm not irresponsible in the least. I could see that Lyssa wasn't satisfied with this, by the way she was sneering at me. Then she opened her mouth again.

"Don't tell me you believe her after everything she just put you through she always uses that excuse 'she is out doing a review', but what proof do we have we can ask her what she ate but she could just make that up as well." Lyssa was getting on my last nerve. I need me to go down. I just hope my father would believe me instead of falling for Lyssa's same game that you always plays. 

"Daddy Believer because she does release we can look it up online if we have to." I was grateful that my father believed me but I wasn't too happy about the fact that he said he would be looking it up online since I made it up and there won't be a review online.

"Honestly she can make up a review online as well she can just type anything she wants who's going to know if it's true or not." at this moment I don't know if I should be grateful for her or worried that she might have something else up her sleeve.

"Then what do you propose we do?" my father asked her and I didn't like that he asked her because if it was up to her I would be grounded for my entire life she will lock me up and throw away the key.

"I suggest we go to the restaurant that she did the review one and go and have that sandwich she just talked about. Uh...what did you say it was chicken and green peppers." this is just proof that lying is wrong and you should never do it because now what am I going to do I didn't eat the sandwich in a restaurant I ate it under at tree with my secret boyfriend. I'm completely and utterly screwed. 

"That is actually reasonable solution to our problem. Alison book us a table at the restaurant for tomorrow afternoon we will pick you up at school until then you are not allowed to leave your room you are grounded until you can prove telling us the truth." but I got away with lying but now I need to prove my way and I don't know how I'm going to do that.

"I'm not sure that you will enjoy it the restaurant isn't really a restaurant it's more like a cafe it's very small and hidden away." my next move been trying to talk them out of going to this restaurant that does not exist.

"Allison we will be going so you better make that reservation." I can hear the anger in my father's voice he was obviously upset with me and the situation. If I continue arguing then I will just be making it obvious that I was lying to start with so now all I have to do is find a restaurant that has that type of sandwich hope for the best. I sighed before nodding my head. I went upstairs to my room where I fell down on my bed and start to contemplate my life. I heard my phone ding and checked to see who had messaged me. It was Jacin asking if I was okay. I do the national I had to drop me at the corner I guess I need to explain myself and explain situation I'm in at the moment

[earlier I saw that my I am father and stepmother were at home and I knew that there will be trouble as soon as I walked into the door. Are you probably know by now my stepmother isn't the biggest fan of me. She always wait at the door for me to walk in to see how she can punish me or get me in trouble. When I walked in there were busy phoning the police reporting me as a missing person, honestly I think they overreacted. We have a the easiest thing to bring up so I lied. I told them that I went out to do a review. It backfired though because now they want me to take them to the place where I had a delicious sandwich. Obviously that's not gonna work since you made it and now I don't know what I'm going to do. If I don't satisfy their curiosity I'll probably end up being grounded for a very very very long time.]

[why is your stepmothers so on your cas. Have you told your father about it?]

[she will call him afterwards telling him that she caught me doing something that wasn't perfect in their eyes. Because of my father's money she's so afraid end up not getting all of it that she wants to sabotage any possibility of me getting any of it. To be honest I don't even want my father's money as long as he pays for my education and I can study and then start doing my own thing then I'll be fine.]

[I can't help you stepmother situation there but I can help you out that is the whole restaurant thing. Just bring them to the coffee shop and I'll make the sandwiches you can act like you've been there for a review and you won't be lying since you already went there for a review.]

It was a brilliant plan and I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. Name all I need to do is pretend like I don't know Jacin we just going to be hard because honestly I can't keep my eyes off of him. 

[That is the best plan by far. But can you please return that you don't know me I really can't explain everything to my family right now. It has nothing to do with you it's just that my father isn't very keen on me dating.] 

I feel like this is something that's gonna cause a rift in our relationship. I don't know how to explain to him that I won't be able to take him to my family ever not they didn't approve of me dating him but then my father would also have a whole problem with his financial status. They're not from the same side of the tracks. My father wants me to date someone just like him - rich and well-off. That isn't really my type. I also don't like when people try to tell me who I'm supposed to date and who I'm not supposed to date.

The fact is that I don't need permission to date someone if only it was that easy. What my dad doesn't seem to understand is that this isn't the old days where they choose a suit and then have to watch us court each other. The truth is I really like and I enjoy spending time with him and I don't think I would ever my decision in dating him. Now I just need to see how tomorrow will play off. A headache just thinking about it sleep and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. No point in stressing myself up about this now. What has happened has happened. What is going to happen is going to happen. I took a shower and got dressed in my pyjamas and then I got in bed for a good night's rest.

The next morning I got up and it hit me, the reality of the day. Today is the day that I need to prove to my dad that I wasn't lying even though I was and my father's gonna meet my boyfriend but he's not gonna know that it's my boyfriend. I can feel the stress ball in my stomach. I quickly got dressed for school did my hair and did some makeup. Today I really wanted to avoid going down for breakfast so I tried sneaking out and I was actually successful. It was a good thing that the driver was always waiting outside just for in case I wanna leave earlier I got in the car and told him to take me to school. At school I told Liara about everything that happened the previous day she was already curious since my father and lyssa had phoned her to here where I was. She wasn't one of my favorites and she started laughing at my predicament. I play slap tear on her arm before we head to our first period. The day seems to go by way faster than I wanted it to go, before I knew it it was time to go home I walked out of the front doors of the school and saw my father waiting for me. I thought not excited in the least. I could only hope for the best I crossed my fingers and got in the car. My father asked for directions so I directed him to the coffee shop once we arrived I could see he wasn't impressed I told him that he wouldn't like it he just pulled his face up in distaste before sending the location to Lyssa. She apparently had a beauty appointment since that only gotten back and she always needs to freshen up after they came back from holiday. We waited in the car until Lissa pulled up she had the same look of distaste on her face. I just sighed as I let them inside. I noticed on the board outside that they said today at a special sandwich and it was the sandwich that he made me the day before. I wonder how explain the situation to the shop owner.

The door my father and that mothers froze waiting to be seated but it wasn't that kind of establishment so I just walked over to a table and took the seat waiting for them to join me. After a few seconds they initially joined me. We would have to go and order at the counter but Jacin came over to us to take our order. I was trying my best to ignore him. 

Well I'm making eye contact I ordered three of the sandwiches. I order waited for my father and let out to order their drinks. We didn't have to wait all that long I guess that Jacin made the sandwiches at home and just brought them with him. We had to wait for our drinks though. 

Once everything had arrived at that table we sat in silence and ate. M my father's team is pleased he now believed me. Whereas Lyssa was full of complaints the sandwich didn't taste right, the meat was too hot why didn't they put it in the freezer. I drink didn't have flavour and so on it went. I was grateful by the time we went home. 

Change thing is even though I lied and I don't need an apology I really wanted one. This is what I always go through this is what Lyssa put me through and I never get an apology. They always assume I'm the bad guy that I've been doing something wrong and even when I prove to them that I haven't I'm still in the wrong some way or another. It gets tiring mentally and emotionally.

As soon as I could slip away I went I texted Jacin. I thank him for everything he has done for me so far and I thank him for all the effort he put into today. It was hard for him to deal with Lyssa. She is not a easy person to get along with. I get to see him holding back as she kept on calling him back on complaning about things. I feel he now has a better understanding of my life. I told him that I can't wait for the next time that I see him and hopefully it won't end in me having to lie to my parents and I staging a restaurant scene.

The next month went by so fast. I saw Jacin as much as I could. Most of our dates were me reviewing places. It was the only way we could really see each other with my family always watching me so carefully. This man that I wasn't seeing much of Liara. She understood though.

Jacin and I were happy for the most part. We are only for about one thing, my family. He wanted to meet them and I get explaining the reasons why he couldn't meet them. You didn't understand what their reaction would be and I couldn't make him see. He meant too much to me for me too introduce him to them and everything that comes with them.

Most of the time I would wish that we could stay in a little love bubble far away from the real world. That's not how life works though. After the one that passed what is team to let up. They didn't ask me about every little thing I did. Almost our one month anniversary it was the perfect time. I decided I would Jacin in his apartment. Since we always go out to restaurants for my job I thought it would be a better option if I could cook for him it could be romantic. On the other hand it was also very in unnerving since I've never been to his place, since I've never been to any boys place. And he was most certainly a man and not a boy.
