Sweet life of Phoebe Grey

Chapter 11

 (Phoebe's Pov)

It has been quite the day. I told dad and he reacted better than I assumed he would. Now we are sitting and watching a movie. It is around five. I hear my dads phone go off and he shifts me a bit so he can get in his pocket. He runs his hands through my hair while he talks. "Okay I will talk to her thanks Flynn," he says before hanging up. I look up at him knowing it is about me. "Bubs Flynn can talk tonight at 8 or tomorrow evening at 4." I think about this. Get it over with or delay it. I tell him that I will go today. "How long do you think it will be?" I ask I don't want to be up late since I have school. "Bubs you aren't going to school tomorrow. Not until I deal with Mr. Malford." I sigh, Oh Dad always so over protective.

At around six my mom comes home. She comes over to my father and I kissing us both. She hugs me tightly. She smells of mom, which is so comforting. Suddenly I don't want her to let me go. Mom is still in her work clothes. She always looks so put together. "What did you guys do today?" She asks. I tell her about our Pj and movie day. She smiles lovingly at us. Gail comes in and lets us know that dinner is ready.

We sit eating chicken Bolognese. "So Pheebs did you and Dad talk about what happened?" She asks I look around to see if Sawyer or Taylor is there. "Um yeah I am going to see Dr. Flynn tonight." I say she reaches across the table and takes my hand. "I am very proud of you Phoebe you never let anything bring you down." My dad nods in agreement. "Dad did you tell Teddy?" I ask. He looks at my mom then at me. "Yes phoebe I did and he was very upset. He is kicking Jake out as soon as he gets home and changing the locks." I look down at my food picking at it. I know I am going to have to talk to Teddy I just don't know when or how. My mom rubs her thumb against my knuckles comforting me.

I put on leggings and a long sweater with rain boots. Walking downstairs I hear mom and dad talking. "Has Teddy seen the CCTV" I hear my mom say. My dad says he emailed it to him. My mom sighs I can hear her getting emotional "Has Phoebe?" I hear her ask. "No Ana I am not going to tell her about it or show her that. I am going to Teddy next Wednesday and I am going to talk to that fuck." Dad says really pissed. What CCTV is he talking about… Oh my god. Teddy has cameras in his apartment. Dad has seen it, Mom too and Teddy. I am fuming at this point. Why the hell wouldn't Dad tell me? So this means he knew about it before I told him. That is why he was so calm. I can't believe he would keep something like this from me and show other people. He doesn't get how embarrassing this is. I am not going to Flynn with him screw that.

I walk downstairs and dodge Dads attempt to touch me. He doesn't deserve a hug. "Mom could you be the one to take me to Flynn?" I ask holding back tears as I see my dad's face twist in confusion. "Phoebe I thought I was taking you" the hurt evident in his voice. I ignore him and turn towards mom. "I guess I can Phoebes what is wrong why are you ignoring your father?" She asks. I just shake my head thinking about how he sat and watched me get assaulted he knew there was a video and he didn't think to tell me. I want to see it. I know it is probably not the best idea but I need to for closure. My father follows me in the kitchen. "Phoebe did I do something." I just shoot him the signature Grey glare. And walk to go grab my things to leave. "Phoebe" he calls after me. I just ignore it. He said he was on my side.

(Ana's Pov)

As we climb in the car Taylor starts to drive. I think how I have never been to Flynn's without Christian there. My daughter is obviously pissed at my husband. I try to think why but I can't come up with a reason. She was fine at dinner and then she came back downstairs and was completely cold towards him. If I know my girl and I do she loves her daddy. Even when she was little we were close but her Daddy had her heart. Phoebe would always shush her little nose against our glass window waiting for him to get home from work. I think back to her first words. Christian and I were sitting on the floor Teddy was down for a nap. She was sitting laying on her back with her arms and legs wiggling around. Christian was tickling her belly. Her contagious laugh filled the room. "Say Mama say Mama" I kept saying as Christian was tickling her. She scrunched up her nose and spoke "Da Da Da Da" I remember how hard we laughed. Her daddy always has had her heart.

Phoebe is staring out the window when we pull up to Flynn's. "We are here baby." I say I want to ask so badly why she is mad at my husband but I decide to let it be. We step out of the car and walk in. The woman at the desk tells us we can head right back. Flynn is sitting at his desk writing down some notes. When we walk in he greets us warmly already making us feel so welcomed. We sit on the chairs that are in front of his desk and begin the session. Christian made me promise to text him throughout, as I know he feels very out of control right now. "So Phoebe I know a little bit about what happened but not the full story would you mind telling me?" Phoebe looks down at her feet and nods. She begins the story and I feel like I have failed her as a parent. She has been through way too much in only a matter of a week.

Flynn listens and nods taking notes as she tells her story. When tears start to fall down her beautiful face he passes her a box of tissues, which she gladly accepts. "Phoebe it seems like you have been through a lot. I want to start by asking you about Ryan. How long had you two known each other before he came onto you?" Phoebe looks at me then at Flynn. "Your mom doesn't have to stay in the room if you don't want her to" Flynn explains looking at me sympathetically. I have a feeling she knows I won't like the answer to his question. "Um mom I will be okay I will meet you in the lobby after." She says I nod and respect her decision I walk out after kissing her head.

I call Christian as I wait in the lobby with Taylor. "Ana how is she is everything okay? What is Flynn saying? Are you already done?" He asks me a question per second. "Christian… Christian please listen to me. No we are not done but she is fine. She actually asked me to leave the room." I decide to leave out the question he asked when she asked me to leave. He is silently for a second then asks me if I know why she is pissed at him. "Babe I didn't press into the subject. I think she is very emotional right now and you just need to give her space." He sounds so hurt as we bid our goodbyes. I try to distract myself and pull out my phone going through some work emails.

After an hour or so Phoebe walks out. Her eyes are red but something about her just looks like she is relieved a bit. "She did great Ana very forthcoming. She wants to heal herself as much as you guys want to heal her. She expressed to me some anger with Christian and we talked about how to work through that, so I hope she goes home and talks with him. He looks at her pointedly. Phoebe nods and looks down kicking her feet. I thank him and say goodbye. I hold Phoebe's hand as we walk to the car. I ask her about the session and I keep getting one word replies. I assume she has a lot on her mind so I just let her think for a bit.

When we get home Christian comes and tries to take Phoebe in his arms. She pulls back a bit comes to my side. I give him the let her be look and I swear you can almost feel his devastation. Phoebe feels it to because she sprints up the stairs with tears falling down her face. When Christian goes to follow her I put my hand on his chest. "Let her think for a bit baby." I then hug him running my hands through his hair.
