Chapter 5
Gabi knocked on Kayla's bedroom door. She heard sobbing and whimpering. How am I going to talk to her about this? Why is our family always filled with drama? How will Troy and her relationship be now because of this?
"I don't want to talk" Kayla cried out from behind her door.
"Honey, we need to talk. I'm coming in" Gabi replied, opening the door, to reveal her daughter sobbing her heart out on her bed, holding her bear that her father gave her for her four birthday.
"Honey, come here" Gabi went over to Kayla, pulling Kayla into a hug. She waited while Kayla cried into her chest. When her crying subsided, Kayla pulled out of her mother's embrace, and looked up at her.
"Mom, do you hate me?" Kayla asked quietly.
"Honey, how could you even ask that? Of course, I don't hate you. I love you" Gabi replied, wiping away her daughters tears.
"But what about what I said about dad? That was so wrong to think that never mind saying it," Kayla said.
"Honey, let me tell you a story. When I was your age, one of my friends had a really good-looking father, and I ended up having a crush on him. My friend always told me how wrong that was because it was her dad and he was in his thirties, but I couldn't help it. He was just really good-looking" Gabriella finished.
"So, what was the point of the story, mom?" Kayla asked confused. Gabi laughed.
"The point is, is that I understand about the whole thing with your dad. The dreams, well, that is a bit disturbing, but it's understandable and hopefully go away soon. I used to have the dreams with my friend's dad too, but they went away after a couple of weeks. I know your dad is really good-looking but he is your dad after all Kayla" Gabi said, stressing the fact that Troy was her dad.
" I know, I just wish he wasn't so he could be mine" Kayla replied sadly.
"Honey, even if he wasn't, he is still is too old for you. He would still think of you as a sister or something" Gabi said, knowing Troy must still be creeped out by this.
"I just wish I could find a guy just like dad," Kayla said.
"I know, all girls look for their dad in a man, especially when you have a dad like yours. You will find one, don't worry sweetie. Remember, you'll always be your daddy's little girl" Gabriella told her daughter.
"Thanks mom, you're the best. After all this, it will still be awkward to look at dad for awhile, though" Kayla said, wiping the rest of her tears away.
"I know, but soon it will be back to normal. Are you coming down or are you saying in your room the rest of the night?" Gabi asked, giving Kayla a hug.
"I think I'll stay in here tonight, but I'll be down tomorrow. After all, I have to because I have school" Kayla replied, hugging her bear.
"Ok, goodnight sweetie. I love you" Gabi said, walking to the door.
"Love you too, mom" Kayla replied. Gabi smiled and closed the door. Gabi walked down the stairs, and into the kitchen to find Troy still staring at the table. Gabi laughed and walked over to her husband.
""Hello, my wonderful husband" Gabi replied in a cheerful tone. Troy slowly picked up his head.
"Hi, Gabi. How is she?" Troy asked, still looking warily and tired.
"She'll be fine. I told her a story that would help, it's still weird though" Gabi replied, sitting down on his lap.
"Tell me about it. It's a bit disturbing actually," Troy said, placing a sweet kiss on his wife's lips.
"I know, she wishes you weren't her father so she could be with you" Gabi chuckled.
"Eww, that still wouldn't happen, she's far too young for me" Troy said, making a face.
"I know, I told her that. She just wants to find a guy just like her daddy. I don't blame her though," Gabi said, getting off her husband's lap, walking behind him, and putting her arms around him. "Her dad's the best. He's a great father, adorable, hardworking, lovable, funny, not to mention down right sexy" She whispered seductively in his ear, making him shiver. She kissed the spot that always made him moan, right below his left ear.
"Gabi" Troy moaned, trying to pull her onto his lap. Gabi just pulled away.
"I don't think so, Troy. The kids could come down at any moment, maybe later perhaps. We need to get the kids to bed, there's school tomorrow" Gabi said firmly.
"Fine, but I get you later" Troy groaned.
"Will see" Gabi replied flirtatiously. They got up and walked up the stairs. They came to Megan's room and opened the door. Megan was on her laptop doing her history report, typing away furiously.
"Hey mom, dad" Megan greeted, turning around from her desk.
"Hi, sweetie. Are you going to bed soon? It's 9:00" Troy said to his daughter.
"Yes, just touching up my report" Megan replied.
"Don't tell me you waited to the last minute to do your report?" Gabi said, looking shocked at her little brainiac girl. She may be the smartest in her grade but that doesn't mean that she doesn't wait till the last minute to do homework. She'd rather be playing basketball.
"Sorry, but we played basketball earlier. It's fine mom, dad said it was" Megan said, saving her report and shutting her computer down. Gabi glared at her husband, Troy just smiled back innocently.
"I'm done, I'll go to bed. Goodnight mom, dad" Megan said, walking over to her parents. She gave them a hug and a kiss and climbed into bed. They left her room and went to Micah's room. He was lying in his bed staring at his ceiling.
"Hey,
little guy, ready for bed?" Troy asked as he walked over to his
son.
"Yea, Nathan already got me ready for bed for you" Micah
replied.
"We see he did. Goodnight little guy" Troy said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Gabi walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight mommy, daddy" Micah said.
"Goodnight sweetie" Gabi said.
"Night Micah" Troy said, shutting off the light. After checking up on Nathan and Sarah, they went to their room, and settled down to watch a movie while cuddling.
"Nathan, get down here now! Breakfast is ready and your going to make us late for school," Megan yelled up the stairs.
A few minutes later, Nathan came trudging down the stairs looking really sleepy. Kayla soon followed, but didn't make eye contact with anyone. She took a seat and slowly ate her breakfast.
"Hey, Kayla. Look, I'm really sorry about last night," Nathan said to his sister, attempting to break the silence.
"Don't worry about it" Kayla mumbled. Troy and Nathan frowned.
"Kayla, please don't act this way. I know it will be awkward but you can't just not talk to us" Troy told his daughter.
"I'm fine" Kayla lifted her head to meet his gaze only for a second, then brought it right back down.
"It's fine, now hurry up or you will be late" Gabi said, tiredly.
They all finished their breakfasts quick, kissed their mother good-bye and headed to school. As soon as they parked, Kayla mumbled a quick good-bye and hurried into school. She quickly walked to her locker trying to find her friends. She found them and chatted while walking to homeroom. The bell rang and Kayla walked to her biology class. She takes a seat next to her brown-haired crush. He looks breaks away from his friends and looks at Kayla.
"Hey, I'm Derek" the kid said, sticking out his hand while checking her out. Perfect bait, I love it. She will be easy to leer away. Derek thought
"Hi, I know who you are. My names Kayla" Kayla replied, shaking his hand.
"Cool. Want to hang later?" he asked.
"Really? You want to hang with me?" Kayla said in shock, looking around the room seeing if another girl was behind her.
"Yea, who else would I be talking too?" Derek laughed.
"I don't know" Kayla blushed.
"Meet me outside after school" the teacher walked in and started lecturing. They went and took notes.
The end of the school day came, but not quick enough for Kayla. She put her books in her locker and made her way outside to wait for Derek. She knew she should have told her father but at this moment, she didn't care. She was finally going to hang with Derek, her crush. She waited a few minutes before finally seeing him saying goodbye to a few friends. He looked her way and made his way over to her.
"Hey, ready to go?" Derek asked, putting something in his backpack.
"Yea, but where are going?" Kayla asked, following him to his car.
"My favorite place to hang. Come on, get in," he said, unlocking the door with his key. She hesitated. She knew her mother and father would kill her if they found out she was going into a car with someone they didn't know, never mind a teenage boy. "Come on, get in" he said, breaking her out of her thoughts.
She got in the car and put her seat belt on. She also took notice that he didn't wear one. They dove for a few minutes, before he pulled up to a red brick two-floor house. They both got out and walked up to the door. Derek looked for his key, while Kayla stood there nervously. He unlocked the door and walked into the house. She followed. She also knew she wasn't supposed to be in a boy's house either. They made their way up the stairs and walked into the room, first door on the left.
"Isn't your parents home?" Kayla asked him as he shut the door.
"No, they work till 9. Want a beer?" Derek asked as he walked over to a mini fridge and opened it.
"No thanks, I'm fine" she replied, looking at his clock. 3:00. Her parents were going to start to worry if she wasn't home by 3:30.
"Aww…come on, it's no going to hurt you" he teased. Kayla didn't want to look stupid so she gave in. It's only one right? It can't kill me.
He passed one to Kayla and took a long swig from his. Kayla hesitantly takes a small sip. It actually didn't taste that bad. She took big swig and sat down on his bed. He came over and put his arm around her.
"Derek, I hardly know you. What are you doing? Kayla asked as she took his arm off from her. Derek shook it off and finished his beer, noticing Kayla also finished.
"Want another one?" he asked, grabbing two more beers.
"Sure" she replied, taking one form him. She felt a vibration in her front jean pocket, and pulled out her cell phone. Her father was calling but decided to ignore it. They started chatting about life in general and had a couple of more beers. She finally felt worry free. She felt another vibration. She looked and saw it was a text from her dad.
Where are you? – Dad
She deleted it. She could care less right now about her family. She was just starting to enjoy herself. She looked at the clock and noticed it was 6:00. She knew her parents would kill her when she got home but she didn't care. Derek put his arm around her again. She didn't care, it felt nice. After a few minutes, he leaned down and kissed her. She eagerly kissed back. He pulled her down on the bed and wrapped his hands in her hair.
Troy, where is she? It's 7:00. She's never home this late without telling us. Did you call the gang?" Gabi demanded, worried about her daughter's whereabouts.
"I did, they haven't heard from her either. She didn't answer her phone or the text," Troy said. The Bolton family was all sitting in the kitchen, all worried about Kayla. "If she doesn't come home by 11 we will look for her"
Her brother and sisters were really worried, this wasn't like Kayla. She always calls if she was going to be late.
"Where's is my baby girl, Troy?" Gabi asked, wiping her tears that started to fall.
"I don't know Gabi, I don't know" Troy replied sadly.
Kayla broke away from Derek and looked at him. Their lips were all swollen and hair sticking up.
"I don't feel so good" Kayla slurred.
"Hey, have some of this, it will help you feel better" Derek said, handing her a joint. He had a whole bag full. Kayla stared at it.
"What is it? Kayla asked.
"A joint" he said simply.
"But that's
a drug, it's bad" Kayla said.
"Nah…it helps, trust me. I do it all the time" he responded handing her one. She took it, put it in her mouth and inhaled.
"Wow, your right, it does help" Kayla said, taking another puff.
"Told you" Derek, said, smoking his own. They sat there smoking till there was no more.
