Chapter 7

{the next morning}

I wake up with a severe headache from crying so much last night. When I woke up the light was turned of the ac temp was changed and there was a blanket over me. I sure as hell do not remember doing any of those things. Rylan probably came to check on me and did those things because mom isn't home and Cesar isn't nice.

As I think I start remembering all the events of yesterday. Everything comes rushing back and finally I remember the fact that I have to confront mom today about all that Cesar had said.

Will she say it's true. Will she be angry that I know. How will she react. Will she ask me to choose between things I am unable to choose between. But most importantly will this be the worst day of my life.

As I contemplate the many different possibilities I am knocked out of my thoughts once Rylan enters my room and clears his throat.

"you ready trenny" he speaks with so much of confidence like we will deffinately Win this battle.

"yeah let me just change I'll be there in a sec"

I change from my tank top to a hoodie and strep out to see Rylan waiting next to my room for me

As we walk through the hallway I hear mumbles coming from the lounge clearly figuring that it is mom and Cesar having their daily morning talks. However she sounds so happy talking to him. Well happier than she ever sounded talking to my dad.

We enter the living room and they stop talking and look at us

"it's so good to see you this fine morning T" Cesar says as he strides toward me motioning for a hug however I step aside

"trinity! That is no way to treat Cesar. I thought we were over this. He is your father now and you treat him with respect" mom scolds

"and that's the problem mom! You could have told me this from before instead of lie to me and stevan dad"

"what do you mean? Lie? When have I lied to you?"

"ohh so now you're going to act like you have absolutely no clue about anything? Is that how it's going to be"

"trinity you will stop being rude. What is wrong with you today. Why are you creating a problem"

"ohh really so I am creating a problem. Didn't u make one when u decide to trick stevan dad into marrying you believing you were pregnant with his child yet you lied. Yes mom. Cesar told me everything. He told me the truth. Something you were unable to do for so many years. He told me. And you know what hurts. Huh. The fact that I thought you were incapable of lying. But low and behold you can"

Mom looked at Cesar in disbelief

"Cesar why did you tell you tell her?"

"I'm so sorry honey I know we agreed to tell her together but yesterday she made me feel very uncomfortable so it just slipped out that I am her dad" he sounded so believable

Omg did he just lie to her. Did he say I was making him uncomfortable. I look at Rylan but he is already looking at me. I turn to face mom and then I feel a stinging sensation all over the right side of my face. She just slapped me. My own mother the one who would never raise her hand to me for any reason in the world has just slapped me. Why. Because of her new husband. Because of this useless disgrace of a man. Because of this imbicle. I cannot believe this. How dare he just come here and take over my life.

"WHAT momm h-he is lying to you" I can't hold back the tears anymore so I just let them fall.

"yes Mrs. Granger trinity did no such thing and if someone is to blame it would be Cesar alone" Rylan speaks

"Rylan not you to. Please I k ow the two of your are ganging up against cedar but yourll are going to have to stop" mom says

"mom why don't you believe us. How can you choose this man over me."

"I'm not choosing a person trinity I'm sticking with the truth and it's best if you do the same" she stares at me intently "you better go to your room and don't come out until you learn how to treat your father over here"

"don't ever call him my father"

"QUIET trinity I will not let you disrespect him in front of me now go to your room" she has never used this tone of voice on me ever before but today she did and it's all Cesar's fault. Ihatehimihatehimihatehim that's all I can think about. How much I hate him

"oh and one more thing if you ever make Cesar feel uncomfortable in this house ever again I will personally see to it that you are removed from this house. Do you understand."

I stare at her trying to figure if she is serious about it or not

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND TRINITY" she yells

I ignore her and retreat to my room. Rylan follows behind me but I enter my room and close the door before he can do or say anything he stands outside the door and knocks twice before speaking

"trenny I know this is not how you expected it to be and I'm really sorry for whatever Cesar has put you through right now but know that I will not let this man live peacefully for the rest of his life ok. You should get some rest. Don't you start work in a couple of days so don't overthink yourself. "with that I hears his footsteps descend towards his room.

For the past two hours I've been sitting on my bed and bawling my eyes out until I hear faint knocks on my door. It sounded so soft almost as if I imagined it.

Mom isn't home as she had said the day before yesterday that she is going to aunt Katherine's. Rylan isn't home as he usually goes out with his friends every night but maybe he stayed to give me company

Another two loud and fast knocks brings me back straight to reality

"who is it" but there isn't a reply

I slowly walk towards the door and open it then I freeze not expecting him to be at my door after everything that had happened.
