Leah's POV
The ride back home was really......
Silent ~
After reaching home, we both simply went to our room . Guess we were too tired to argue .
The next morning arrived .
Ahh... I hate Mondays but i hate school more than Mondays . Humm.. i think it's because of schools only that i hate Monday . My monday is innocent .
After procrastinating for 15 minutes i decided not to go to school at all . I texted Layla that i won't be coming . Then , I went back to sleep again .
It's not like not going to school for one day is gonna kill me .
*Thak* *tank*
Humm... Looks like someone's downstairs . Could be Mr. Gorgeous . But it's still 2 hours before school ends .
...
A Burglar ?
Oh shit !
I grabbed the metal rod i had in my room .
You must be wondering why do i have a metal rod in my room . It's because I'm a paranoid person . I'm prepared for everything . Even if a flood comes suddenly, I'm prepared for that ! I can survive unless, i run out of food and water .
I took my mobile phone with emergency number dialed in it.
It's better to be safe than sorry .
I walked down the stairs as silently as i could .
After reaching the end of the stairs . I could hear the voice of a man and a woman .
Huh? These voices sounds familiar .
It's dad and Charlotte voice . But they weren't supposed to be back before Tomorrow .
I got closer to the door . So, i could hear them more clearly .
" What will you do now Jack ? "
" What will i do ? Ofcourse i won't let Leah go anywhere . I don't know why she's suddenly behaving like this ." Won't let me go anywhere ? But I'm not going anywhere .
" But she needs her Jack ! " Who needs me ?
" I also need her . She's my life . " Awww that's my dad .
" But she's her mother Jack . "
" I'm her father and she's my daughter ! ."
" But you can't change the fact you aren't her real father . "

*Thump*
The metal rod i had in my hand fell down on the floor .
.....What ?
Before dad and Charlotte could open the door . I opened it
" What does that mean Charlotte ? "
" Leah ... What are you doing here ? Weren't you supposed to be at school ? . "
" What you said just now ... Is that .... true ? " My voice was shaking .
" Leah , i can explain . " Dad said .
" I don't need an explanation !!! Why aren't you denying it .... dad ? "
" Leah...."
" Tell me ... IT ISN'T TRUE ! "
"....."
I could feel my vision blurring from the tears . I ran out from the house .
I could hear them calling me . But, I don't want to listen to anything right now .
I don't know for how long i was running . I stopped running when my legs gave up .
My muscles will definitely hurt the next morning .
......
What am i supposed to do now ?
My dad isn't my real dad ? There must be some kind of misunderstanding . It can't be true .
But .... Why didn't he denied it ?
I sat on the desk . Thinking nothing . My mind was black .
The sky grew dark .
Should i go back now ? Ofcourse. I don't have anywhere else to go .
...??
But where am I ?
I walked for hours but still couldn't find my way back . So, instead of wasting anymore energy . I sat on a nearby desk.
I don't have any money with me .
And I've also left my phone at home .
......
I'm screwed .

Ahhhhh!! I shouldn't have ran in the first place . U stupid Leah !
"Leahh!!" I know that voice .
I turned back .
" Mr. Gorgeous ? "
Now i can go home . Finally .
" HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE TIME !!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING !? "
" Ahhh ! My ears will burst can't be a little more quiet . It isn't that late . "
" It's almost midnight . "
"....."
" Come with me . We're going back ."
" W-wait ! I'm still not ready to go home yet . " I wanted to go home badly . But, not this fast .
" What do you mean - you're not ready ? Mom and Jack are worried sick about you . "
"I know .... They must be worried about me . I'm such a selfish girl ."
Instead of forcing me to go with him . He came and sat with me .
We just sat there without saying anything .
God knows for how long we sat there .
" Are you okay now ? " He said .
Am i ?
" Yes , I'm ok now . Let's go "
"........Then, why don't you look okay ? "
Huh ?
He brought his hands closer to my face and wiped the tears from my cheeks .
I was crying?
" It's okay to cry . " he came closer and hugged me .
And when he did that .... I lost myself and started crying .
