The New Girl ( ian somerhalder & nina dobrev - vampire diaries )

Chapter 17

My heart skips a beat

I can't believe it

Through all these years I would never have thought I would be seeing my dad again

But there he is, standing a couple of metres in front of me

He wears a classy business suit and black polished shoes. He has the same brown hair I remember and stubble covering half of his lower face and neck.

"What..what are you doing here?" I stutter

"I came to see my daughter celebrate her 18th birthday" he replies in his broad accent

I'm astonished

I don't even remember Josh standing next to me until I hear his voice whispering in my ear

"Stacey, you know we can leave if you want" he whispers

"No" I say quite rudely "let me speak to my.. this man" I quickly change the sentence

I walk up to him while my so called father starts to speak

"How are you sweetheart"

Who does he think he is asking me how I am when I haven't even seen him for the past 18 years of my life! All these years I've been wishing for his return doubting every minute, always wondering why he left and why he never bothered to see me grow up. Now, standing in front of him, my feelings are overwhelmed, upset and furious. I can barely even think straight. All these questions flood through my mind. Why is he standing here? How does he even remember my goddam birthday if he decided to runaway all these years ago. I'm absolutely fuming and my brain feels like it's going to burst any minute

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ASKING ME HOW I AM?" I shout at him furiously with Josh instantly taking a step forward "YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP HERE AND ASK ME HOW I FUCKING AM!"

"Look Stacey, I think we need to talk" he interrupts my sudden outburst

"NO! YOU RAN AWAY FROM ME AND MUM DIDNT YOU! YOU LEFT MY MUM FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING AND WITH ME GROWING UP WITHOUT A FATHER! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" I shout with anger

"Stac, it wasn't my fault I swear!" He looks at me with sorry pleading eyes.

"LIKE HELL IT WASNT YOUR FAULT! YOU CANT START CALLING ME NICKNAMES WHEN THERE IS NO GOOD EXPLANATION FOR LEAVING ME AND MY MUM ALONE ALL THESE YEARS!"

He stares at me completely dumbfounded

"Stacey, I think we should go" Josh says "and you, don't you dare come near her again and try gaining your trust when she obviously doesn't even know you" Josh growls to the man

I nod to josh agreeing with him and face my back to my "father" without a second glance

I hop into the car confused and hopeless

I want to get away from this man as quick as possible

Josh quickly hops into the seat next to me and shuts the door loudly

The taxi driver starts driving off and with once last glance, I see my father stare at me thought the glass windows with sad, hopeless eyes, trying to shout something to me that I don't understand.

I sit in a complete trance, shocked and confused with what just happening

I mean who wouldn't?

I haven't seen my father in over 17 years and he decides to show up at my 18th party? How did he even know where to go in the first place? I think back to our.. well mostly my conversation towards him. Shouting at him was the last thing I wanted to do towards my "dad" but I couldn't help it, I was so angry at him leaving us and upset that I just exploded. Thinking back to my words I instantly regret it. Maybe he did have an explanation to leave us? No he couldn't have. There is no good explanation to leaving us when I was just a little baby, right? What was he trying to say?

I was to busy thinking with my muddled up brain to even hear Josh calling my name

"Stacey!"

I turn to look at Josh and in his eyes are full of worry and concern and mostly anger

"What" I mumble struggling to even talk

"Are you alright?"

And with that I break.

Tears run down my flushed cheeks till I can't even breath.

Josh immediately engulfs me in a hug telling me that everything going to be alright

But we both know it's not

Not now that I've just ran into my dad, shouting at him then leaving him while he just stands there helpless in his spot.

The picture just doesn't leave my mind

I cry and cry and cry until there's nothing left to come out.
