Hunting my mate

11. Chapter – Surprise!!!

As promised Nicole sat with us during lunch. Ethan wasn't that happy about it especially when he learned that she will help me with Math. When I came home dad was still at work so I watched some TV to avoid falling asleep.

»Diner's ready!« dad shouted. I didn't even hear him come home.

»Coming!« I shouted back.

When i came down dad was already setting the table so I just helped him finish.

»Dad guess what happened in school.« I told him once we sat down. »You found another friend? Pease don't tell me you met a boy.« I started laughing at my dad's panicked face. »No dad don't worry. It's actually related to the fire that happened 8 years ago.« With that I started telling him everything. How I met Ethan at rpincipal's office but didn't really release it was him until later. How I met Jacob, Theo and Adam and spent afternoon with all of them. About Sophie, Grace and little Anna. Dad's face wasn't at all what I expected. It wasn't surprised or schocked or anything like that. I also didn't excepted his response to everything I said.

»I know.« Maybe he already saw them and talked with them but didn't tell me because he didn't know how. This must be it.

»You already saw them?«

»No.« this is what got me confused as hell.

»What do you mean?« I asked cerfully, scared of the answer.

»I mean. I know they are alive and well. I know abou Seabstian being in army. I know Adam is getting married soon and already has a daughter Anna. I know everything.«

Maybe he just saw mom already and she told him everything. That's probably it.

»So...You already saw mom? And talk to her? How is she? Has she canged a lot?«

It schocked me what he said next.

»No. I haven't seen her yet.«

»What do you mean?« I wispered.

»I mean I have known this entire time that they are alive and well and that noone died in the fire. I just never told you. I will tell you the reason for never mentioning it some other time. When you'll be ready.«

I can't believe it. He knew and never told me. After everything I went through because of it. He just let me suffer.

»Now close your mouth and eat. The dinner is getting cold.«

I can't breath. I need to get out of here. This is crazy. I don't even know what I'm doing. One second I am sitting at a table the next second I am out the door with dad calling for me to come back. I was running. Things were getting blurry. And it's getting hard for me to breath. When sudenly I'm put out of my thoughts back in reallity when a car honks and I'm pulled out of the way.
