It's a really short one, I'm sorry!  Enjoy!

3 hours later, we said our goodbyes to and we walked home. Zayn gave his phone number to Sky and obviously she wouldn't talk about anything else on our way home. I, on the other hand was mentally preparing myself to see my dad's reaction.

Few blocks before we were home, a car honked at us. I turned around to see what was going on. "Hey look it's the boys !" Sky shouted as she waved at them with a big smile on her face. Sky stopped walking as the car stopped next to us.

"Do you girls happen to need a ride home?" Harry suggested.

"Sure, that'd be nice."

We both got in the car. I gave Harry the instructions to our house, only a few minutes later we arrived.

"There you go ladies."

"Thank you so much Harry."
"Actually, we only live a few blocks away. Maybe Sky could hang out with us?" Zayn said. I nodded as a sign it was okay for me. 

"Don't yell at dad okay ? Don't be mean. He will just get more mad." Sky said. I nodded and waved at them as they drove out of the street. 

I turned around and went inside, where I saw my parents unpacking.  We knew they wouldn't be a lot at home. They spend most of their time at their work. 

"I'm home."

Both of my parents looked at me, my dad looked like he could shoot me and my mom smiled slightly. I was preparing for a huge discussion with my dad. To kill the silence my mom started talking.

"Where's Sky?"

"She's with those boys, they get along pretty well and only live few blocks away."

"Take a seat. We need to have a serious talk." My dad said. At the sound of his voice I could hear that he meant it, so I took a seat. Both my mom an dad sat on the other side of the table and were looking very serious. It was freaking me out.

"What's wrong with you lately ?" My dad asked. 

"Nothing. Why do you think there's something wrong ?"

"You're acting weird lately. You're being unrespectful to me. Why is that for ?"

My mom just looked at me, she knew I was getting mad. I was about to yell at him.

"Are you serious? Me being unrespectful to you? Listen dad, the only thing you care about lately is your stupid work! Sky and I didn't want to move here at first, and you couldn't even care less! You're yelling at us the whole time." I tried to calm down after I burst out. 

"Then what was your problem this afternoon?" he asked, trying to keep calm himself.

"You never noticed Sky was unhappy. When she saw those boys, she was so happy! But you didn't care again, because all what you wanted to do was coming home. And you know what dad? I want Sky to be happy, and I will do everything to make her happy! I don't care what you think of me. If you think I'm being unrespectful then maybe you should question yourself how that would come, because there's got to be a reason!"

I didn't know why but some tears were coming up.  My dad wasn't even looking mad anymore, I only saw pain on his face. 

He sighed: "Maybe you're right... You just tried to show me that I was being wrong." he said.  A tear rolled down my face, I immediately felt sorry of what I said, but it was the truth and he had to face it. 

"All I want is for you to be happy,"  my dad said "I would do anything to make you, your mom and Sky happy, and that's why I work the whole time. So I have enough money for our family, so I can give you guys whatever you want and whatever you need." His voice went down as if he was about to cry

"I'm sorry..." I stuttered. We both stood up and hugged each other, I started crying just like he did. I haven't hugged my dad in months and I felt sorry about everything.

"I'm sorry dad..." I whispered, he kissed the top of my head.
"Don't sweetheart, we both made mistakes but that's solved now. Now get Sky or stay at their place and have some fun" he smiled bit and wiped my tears.
