His hesitation is all I need to know. It's a simple question. If he really were my biological father, he would tell me right away. If anyone asked me if I was his daughter, I would agree right away.
But he hesitates. He hesitates and I know what Gavin told me is true. I'm not his daughter. They took me. They lied to me all this time.
I just can't imagine why they did this to me. I don't know why anyone would want to take me, lie to me, or fight over me. But I do know I need to get away from him. I need to find Gavin.
“Nicole, you don't understand,” my father calls after me.
He's not my father though. He's never been my father. I don't know who my parents are. I don't know anything.
So, I keep running. I run away from him before he can get to me. I run into the fighting.
I don't stop
