I woke up the next morning, not feeling too hot, and decided to take some medicine and then going back to sleep. I texted Layla and let her know, and she told me that she would be by later to check on me. I knew she would tell the guys, so I went back to sleep and slept for a few more hours before getting up.

I woke up and felt a lot better. I got up, showered, got dressed, fixed me something to eat, and then called my dad. Him and my mom divorced, but I don't think he knows that I'm in LA. It only rang a few times before his new wife answered. She had an attitude when I asked to talk to my dad, but I just rolled my eyes because she doesn't like the fact that I refuse to call her mom.

My dad got on the phone, and we started talking. We talked about anything and everything, before the conversation took a turn that I knew was coming, so I decided to get it over with.

"So, when are you coming to visit?" my dad asked.

"Um, I'm not, dad." I replied.

"What do you mean you're not?" my dad questioned.

"I'm in LA with Mrs. Knight, Katie, and the guys." I replied.

I didn't want to call Mrs. Knight, Momma Knight, with my dad because then he would throw a fit because I refuse to call his wife mom. She's been trying to force me to call her mom, and it pisses her off that I absolutely refuse to.

"Why in the world are you there?" my dad's wife asked.

I figured he would put me on speaker because he has never talked to me on his own.

"My uncle lives here. Plus, the guys are following their dreams, and I'm looking into following mine." I replied with an eye roll.

"I'm sure your mom just gladly let you go without consulting me. I'll have to..." my dad started before I cut him off.

"You're not going to do anything. Mrs. Knight talked to my mom and since she's here, then my mom was okay with me going. Also, my uncle lives here so that's a plus. Don't think I'll keep all your dirty little secrets if you try to take this to court." I threatened.

"I don't know what you're talking about." my dad said.

"Of course, you do. And if you try to take my mom to court, then I'll tell everything." I said.

"Fine. I'll drop it." my dad sighed.

I was happy about that, and our conversation didn't last much longer after that. I then went to the pool and Layla explained what happened to the guys. I couldn't believe that they went through the ringer for a picture. I knew that I would get the picture and let them sign it.

Layla could tell that something was off, so I explained everything with the call from my dad, but told her that I had it handled because my dad doesn't want all his dirty secrets out, so he'll play things my way. Layla laughed because she knew I would do what I needed to, to stay with Momma Knight, Katie, her, and the guys.
