Narrator
Although Danielle had managed to get Y/n back in the house, things were still a bit tense between Mr. Marsh and Y/n.
Since Dani had to return to school, Y/n was left all alone to deal with Mr. Marsh's moods.
- Y/N POV -
"I think you should go home at your regular time today," My manager suddenly approached me.
"It's fine. If I don't stay behind to help, no one will," I answered him as I prepped the road for asphalt.
"Alright," He sighed.
I had been using work as an excuse to stay away from home as much as possible. Even though Mr. Marsh had given me permission to date his daughter, he was still acting pretty hostile towards me.
An extra 4 hours of OT went by, and I finally decided to go home.
By the time I got home, it was midnight.... and there was a suspicious figure trying to get in through the front door...
I quickly got out of my truck and ran up to confront the hooded intruder.
"OH MY GOD, YOU SCARED ME!!!" A familiar voice screeched and pushed me away.
I tilted my head in confusion and realized who it was.
"Oli?" I furrowed my brows.
"Who else?" She sassed me.
"What the hell are you doing here? Don't you have like finals or something?" I was genuinely really confused.
"My Uni doesn't run in the same system as Dani's," Oli sighed as she tried to look through her keys.
"And Dani told me what happened. She's worried Dad might be giving you a hard time so I came to check up on you," She added as she tried to put a key into the lock.
"So, Dani made you come home?" I furrowed my brows a bit upset.
It's not that I didn't appreciate Dani and Oli's sentiment. It's that I didn't want to be an inconvenience to anyone.
It was one thing for Danielle to come check up on me, but it was another for her to make Olivia go out of her way for me.
"Don't be stupid. She has too much pride to ask for a favor like that," Oli answered.
I sighed of relief and took out my keys.
"Here. I got it," I walked up to open the door for her.
"Thank you! I've been trying to get in for the last 10 minutes," Olive sighed out.
"Yeah, no problem," I gave her a quick smile.
"I just need to get my bag," Oli responded.
"I got it. Just shut up and get inside!" I pushed her inside the house.
Olivia shouted something back but I didn't hear her as I was making my way down the driveway to get her things.
- Olivia POV -
I tried to be as quiet as possible as I walked into the house, but I was quickly caught.
"What have I told you about taking off your work boots before you get home? They're so loud when you even walk up to the front door," Dad grumpily walked out of his room.
"Oh? So this is how he's being?" I thought to myself.
"Oh, Olivia! Sorry, I thought you were Y/n!" He quickly changed his tone.
I had a feeling this would happen.
Dad accepted Y/n too fast and everything happened so quickly in the beginning. He was always very kind, but he was cautious.
I knew that if Dad didn't think Y/n was more trouble than what it was worth in the beginning, then he would end up to regret his decision in one way or another.
"Here are your bags. Actually, I'll take them upstairs," Y/n suddenly walked into the house.
"Where have you been?" Dad abruptly said his voice.
"I was-"
"Y/n was picking me up from the airport," I quickly chimed in.
"Right, Y/N?" I turned to give Y/n a look.
"I'm just going to put your bags upstairs," Y/n cleared their throat.
In that moment, I realized Y/n wasn't wearing their boots at all. Y/n was wearing slippers.
It was then, I realized the gravity of everything Dani shared with me.
It wasn't Y/n throwing some sort of tantrum or their "true colors" finally showing. It was Y/n really being pushed out by Dad.
"Y/n wait!" Dad stopped Y/n before they could run upstairs.
"Why didn't you tell me Oli was coming home? I thought we agreed that there would be no more secrets between us," He started to scold Y/n.
I raised an eyebrow at his confrontational behavior.
"I called Y/n last minute. I didn't want to bother you or Mom since it's late. I was going to take a cab but I couldn't, so I called Y/n knowing they'd be the one to most likely be up," I lied again.
I didn't like lying to my family about the little things, but seeing how Daddy was behaving... it felt like anything to give Y/n some brownie points was the way to go...
Dad took a deep breath and shook his head. It looked like he was having a hard time accepting what I had said.
"Okay. We'll thank you for picking up my baby," Dad sighed out.
Y/n got quiet and suddenly bowed at him, before running upstairs with my bags.
I almost wanted to laugh.
It seemed like mom was definitely the one to be raising Y/n lately.
"You could've told me. I would've picked you up. There's no sense in asking someone who isn't family for such a huge favor like that," Daddy shook his head.
I gave him a smile and simply replied, "But Y/n is family. So there's nothing to worry about!", before heading up to my room.
- Y/N POV -
I took a shower and was getting ready to get in bed, when Olive suddenly texted me.
Olive
"Come to my room."
Dickhead
"I haven't been in your rooms in months. I haven't touched anything."
Olive
"Stfu and come to my room."
"Ugrrhhhh!" I groaned in annoyance and put on my indoor slippers. I then my way over to Oli's room and knocked on the door
Olivia took less than a second to open the door and signaled me to come inside.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance and walked over to sit on the edge of her bed.
"What? What did I do now?" I asked a bit frustrated.
I hadn't been in Olivia's room in months. There was absolutely nothing that she could yell at me for.
"Sorry about my dad," Oli suddenly sighed out.
"What?" I asked hella confused.
"Dani told me what happened and I just had to come check it out for myself," Oli walked up to squat in front of me.
"Wtf?" I thought to myself.
"I want you to know though, you are a part of this family no matter what. I don't care if you're my in-law or my little sibling. Dad will get over it... and I'm sorry he might be triggering some things in you at the moment... but just know that he's just being a good dad," Olivia was being uncharacteristically nice.
"You're not the baby of the family. You're the in-law. So, armor up to take a punch uncalled for punches," Oli gave me a smile and reached over to squeeze my hands.
For some reason, her words comforted me. I already knew this... but it was nice to have a Mo-Marsh state the reality of it all...
"This doesn't suit me, huh?" Oli suddenly cleared her throat.
"Nope!" I tried not to laugh.
Oli rolled her eyes and suddenly pushed me off her bed, Saying... "Alright. My nice moment is over. Get tf out."
I raised an eye and decided to make myself comfortable on her bed instead.
"I saw out, Dickhead!" Olive's tone still wasn't quite right, but her words were.
"That's more like it!" I chuckled and got up to hear back to bed.
