Master And Me

What's so funny?

I tossed and turned most of the night not getting any sleep, my mind on the pictures I found in Mr Jones's desk drawer. I want to talk to someone but I'm not sure who, everything keeps running through my head making me feel dizzy. I have to talk to someone but who. Maybe Slade is the best person to talk to about this, I climbed out of bed then quietly walked to my door and out of it, I walked along the hall as quietly as I could, I walked past all the rooms until I was outside Slade's bedroom, I stopped outside his door. 

"It's late and he is probably asleep, I should go back to bed," I thought to myself 

I turned to go back to my room when Slade's door opened. Which made me turn back to face the door quickly.

"Hi, kido, I thought someone was out here" He smiled at me

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you" I spoke 

"You didn't, I was up studying anyways, is there something you wanted?" He asked

"Just to talk about something, if you don't mind" I bite my bottom lip nervously 

"Come on in" he smiled and opened the door wider for me to go in 

I walked in and stood not far away from the door awkwardly. I looked around, his room was mostly black walls, posters everywhere on the walls like avenged sevenfold, him, five finger death punch, slayer, iron maiden, Metallica and a lot of other bands, he had a tv, a Blu-ray player, movies like all over the place along with cd's, he had a study desk as I do with a lamp, a laptop, he even had a bookshelf full of books, his bed was a double bed with black covers on them. 

"You can sit down on my bed you know" He chuckled which made me turn to him and smile lightly 

"Sorry" I walked over to his bed and sat down on it.

Slade sat down on his desk chair and faced me. 

"So what's on your mind, kido?" he asked

"I was looking for something in one of my teacher's desks and I found something ..." I told him then I looked down

"What did you find?" He asked pressing me to go on 

"I found... Pictures" I spoke

The shock came over Slade's face, he got off his chair and moved onto his bed closer to me.

"What kind of pictures?" He asked holding his breath

"Of... " I stopped and then looked up at him "Me" I finished 

Slade let his breath go slowly and then looked at me confused.

"What are you doing in the pictures," He asked looking very uncomfortable asking this

"Some of them is me as a kid, some are me at school doing work," I told him

Slade breathed again and smiled lightly "Which teacher is it?"

"My English teacher, "I told him

"His is last name Jones by any chance?" He asked 

I nodded "Yeah, how did you know that?" I asked him confused

Slade got up from his bed and went into one of his desk's drawers he pulled some picture's out of it and came back over. He went throw them until he got to one and held it out for me to take.

"This is you and me when you were a baby," He told me

I took the picture and looked at it, I couldn't help but smile and I could tell the small boy holding me was Slade because he looks just like does now but with no muscles and was much younger but sure enough he was holding me.

"I like this picture" I smiled at him 

He smiled back "Yeah me too" then he picked up another one and held it out for me to take

I took the picture from him and looked at it, it was a baby picture of me and a very younger-looking Mr Jones, he was holding me in the hospital. I looked up at Slade confused.

"Why is he holding me?" was all I could say

"Lily, he's your father" Slade spoke 

I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Mr Jones is my father," I said slowly making sure I heard him right

Slade nodded his head. I looked down at the picture again.

"How old is he in this picture?" I asked trying to hold back the tears

"He's a year younger than you are now, he's only sixteen," He told me

I bite my bottom lip and looked down, tears started running down my cheeks. Slade noticed and pulled me into a hug. 

"I'm sorry, lily this is really hard to hear" He whispered while holding me while I cried. 

I opened my eyes to see the sun shining throw the black curtains, I started to rise from the bed until I was sitting up, I looked around confused, I wasn't in my bedroom then I remembered finding out Mr Jones was my father from Slade so I lay back down and covered my face with the covers trying to hide from the world.  I didn't want to get up but I know I had to, I had to face the world but it was so hard to do, I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed no matter what I told myself. I left someone sitting down on the edge of the bed. I wanted to look but didn't.

"Hi, kido" I heard Slade say

"Hi" I mumbled from under the covers 

"I talked to Mrs and Mr Goth, and they said you don't need to go to school today, maybe spending time away will help you," He told me

"I don't have to go?" I mumbled back while keeping out of the covers a little

"Yes, you can stay home with me and someone will pick up your work for you" He smiled 

"Thank you, I don't know how to face him" I mumbled again 

Slade looked at me again and chuckled. 

"What's so funny ?" I mumbled 

"This reminds me of the time when you had to go to the dentist, you hide like that and I had to try to convince you to go" He smiled  

"Did you get me to go?" I asked him

"Yes, after I agreed to watch sleeping beauty with you and agreed to buy you cherry lips" He smiled 

"I like sleeping beauty?" I asked surprised 

"Well more like maleficent, you liked all the Disney Villians" He smiled at me 

"Disney Villians are so cool" I smiled a little still not coming completely out of the covers

"At least that hasn't changed" He smiled at me

"I guess I'm not the same as when I was a kid" I spoke

"No, but I still love you and you will always be my baby sister" He smiled "Know what would you want to do today?" 

"I'm not sure" I sighed 

"Well, I have an idea, if you want to go?" He smiled 

I nodded my head as a yes and finally got out of bed.
