Love Is A Fire, and It Burns Down All That It Sees {Joey Jordison Romance}

Chapter 54: Like Father, Like daughter

I got out of my dad’s car and went inside the house and Eric looked at me weird,

“whoa what happened to you?” he asked since I was still wearing the hospital gown,

“don’t ask” I mumbled as I made my way upstairs to my room. I sat on my bed and stared at the wall. Then I heard a knock on my door and then the door creaked open. I didn't bother to look at who was there.

"so you're just gonna sit there and stare blankly at the wall Hun?" I heard my dad's voice. I slowly turn to look at him and he was leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed and looking at me with a sad face.

"I guess so" was all I said as I turned away from him and stared at the wall again and I felt tears stream down my face again

"you can't just sit there and stare at the wall forever you know" he said sitting next to me and pulling me into his arms

"yea well I can always try" I said burying my face on his chest while he held me tighter

"I don't even know why I even bothered to go after him...and I can't believe I almost fucking killed myself for him! I always told myself I'd never do that! Especially for a guy a stupid guy!" I sobbed

"well...sometimes...love makes us do crazy stupid fucked up shit...it happens, we're only human"

"yea well...I feel like an idiot for doing that"

"don't, you're not an idiot"

"yes I am"

"hun no you're not. Now we can keep arguing about this forever or we can go eat some ice cream and other junk food while we watch some horror movies downstairs, just you and me"

"just you and me? No annoying Wednesday or stupid Evan?"

"hey! Be nice to her...but yes, just you and me"

"fine"

"good...now get dressed in your most comfortable clothing while I get rid of everybody else"

"ok" was all I said as he let me go and kissed my head then got up and left. I sighed and got up and made my way to the bathroom and took a quick hot shower, then I went to my room and went to my closet and grabbed my Nightmare Before Christmas pj's. When I finished, I made my way downstairs and went to the kitchen and saw my dad there in his pj's as well grabbing stuff out from the cabinets and the fridge.

“wow…you actually got rid of them” I said amused

“hey there! And yeah it was hard, but I did it” he said with a chuckle

“even Evan?” I asked as he sighed

“even Evan” he replied making me smile

“thank you” I said

“yea yea yea, now can you do me a favor and help me out with this?”

“yea sure” I said helping him grab the stuff, then we made our way to the living room, I noticed that the furniture was moved and there were blankets and pillows on the floor. We put the food down and I sat on the blankets and pillows.

“which movie do you wanna see first?” he asked as he went up to the TV

“uumm…surprise me?”

“that’s not a movie…is it?”

“no”

“pick”

“American Psycho?”

“good choice” he said as he picked the DVD out from the shelf and put it in the DVD player then he sat next to me and the movie started to play.
