Chapter 5

Lucas Murphy was not happy, to put it mildly. To be exact he was having difficulty due to his daughter Jenn and her current actions.

'She continues to see that boy after everything, she needs to understand that it's not right that they are together. He's a danger to her, it's his fault she was kidnapped in the first place...' He thought furiously. 'To say nothing of the fact he's hardly worthy of her, with his family income, how is he supposed to provide for her.'

He glowered and made up his mind; he was certainly there was something going on with that boy, Kyle Sherman, there had to be. He was going to find out what it was, what sort of hold he had over his daughter and help her see the truth. With that idea all set out, he entered Jenn's room, she was out right now but would be back soon, so he had to look quickly, find any evidence he could that would help him make his case. Especially since the rest of the family seemed to be against him too, something which frustrated him even more.

He looked around the immaculate room. 'Where would Jenn hide something she doesn't want others to find?'

It wasn't an easy question, until that boy showed up, Lucas had been sure that Jenn never hid anything and that there was never any reason to doubt her, but now, he wasn't so sure.

But then, at that moment, something happened he did not expect, the sound of the door, Jenn was home early. Acting quickly he turned to leave but then tripped. Cursing himself as he heard Jenn's rapid footsteps he suddenly froze, eyes wide with horror and rage as he found himself looking into Jenn's trash can, which had fallen over when he tripped, and what he saw in it was the source of both emotions. A discarded condom.

"Dad, what do you think you're doing!?" Jenn suddenly yelled.

He looked up, livid as he spotted her in the doorway, looking at him with wide eyes and perhaps anger.

'She's angry, when she's doing this, behind my back.' He thought furiously.

Forcing himself to his feet, he glowered. ""Oh I'm not allowed to go anywhere in my own house..."

"When you're clearly in here trying to spy on me!" Jenn shot back.

"For good reason it seems, when I see things like this!" He yelled back.

Jenn froze, gasping as her father gestured to the fallen trash can, the used condom clearly in full view.

'Fuck, I should've...oh shit and now dad knows, what am I...How can this get any worse?' She wondered.

Of course, thinking that, she instantly found out, for at that moment her mother, Shelly, and brother, Jay, entered the room, clearly wondering what all the noise was about.

Jenn flushed as she knew right away, thanks to her father's words, that they'd see too. Her father certainly made sure however when he started ranting.

"That boy, I knew he was no good, and now you're letting him...do that, under MY roof." He snapped.

Jenn glowered. "I don't think that's any of your business dad, we are perfectly capable of making our own decisions and you should at least be happy we were safe!"

Jay kept stammering, clearly trying to say something, but unable to find the words, Lucas shook his head, outraged.

"Oh of course, I'm just believe he didn't talk you into it and-"

"I make my own choices dad!" Jenn snapped. "You just can't see that. We're in love, we're happy and we both consented to this and if you keep screwing this up I will never forgive you for it!"

Shelly sighed. "Lucas dear, it's painfully obvious that Jenn is right, I don't see why you can't-"

"Right, can you not see what's here in front of you?" He demanded. "He is taking advantage of her and you all-"

But Jenn had decided enough was enough. "KYLE IS NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME! I can't believe you dad, you just twist everything to suit yourself and never consider anyone else's feelings. I'm happy with Kyle, happier than I've been in a long time, yet you just can't be happy for me, you have to try and control my life, well I'm sick of it."

"Jenn..."

"Don't ever talk to me again, you selfish pig!" She screamed. "All this, all these problems, they're all your fault, now just accept that and stop being so stuck up and ignorant for a change. I…!"

But she couldn't take anymore.

Tears stinging her eyes, she fled, running right out of the house and away. Awkward silence fell after that.

"I knew it, that boy has..." Lucas muttered at last.

But finally Jay found his voice. "No dad, Kyle hasn't done anything, you're the problem here. Jenn is right, you're just refuse to see if for yourself."

Shelly nodded. "You need to really starting looking at yourself Lucas, you spied on our daughter, broke her trust and spoke against her and the one she loves. You need to ask yourself, is it really worth it, is it really worth losing everything. The way you're going, we can't live like that."

With that they both left, leaving Lucas to face the horrible clarity of their words alone as they finally all hit him at once.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
