Beat of My Own Drum

Last actual chapter epilogue after this

I sat in the living room I once dreaded. I thought once I left for college I would never have to come back here . I thought if I could find a way out then I would never want to be back here , but the truth is I missed it. Sure my dads a drunk and my step mom is a slut but I missed it here , I missed my room and most of all I missed being about being here is the fact that atleast here I wasn't having to pretend to be something I am not. That is one amazing thing about my dad is that he gives me my space that is desperately needed.

"So what brings you to town." My dad asked taking a sip of his drink . " I haven't seen you since the day after your graduation , or even got a letter or call for that matter." he laughed and I noticed the new wrinkles that weren't there before I left.

" I messed up . Big time , and I don't know what to do. " I feel like crying , the tears are practically ready to flow from my eyes. I needed to be strong , for the babies sake I needed to be strong. .

"What did you do thats so bad?" He was concerned , Heather wasn't around she was at work .

"I'm 99 percent sure I'm pregnant and I'm in a very unstable relationship." I don't look at him because I expect him to mock me at any second.

Then I feel his arms wrap around me and I cry into his shoulder , I couldn't smell the whiskey for once.

"Its going to be ok Caity." He rubs my back . I feel safe in his arms , like for one moment he is my dad again.

"I don't want to go back to Robby dad . I don't want him to know about the baby because I know what he would do dad." I wailed into shirt.

"You can stay here , but first promise me you will never go like that again." He says and I nod.

Maybe one day I will be able to face Robby but now I need some time with my shitty family.

So for now this is a break from LA . I just need some time for me and the baby . I know Nate will be pissed at me but I don't care because for now I need to focus on whats best for my future.

The end ... well not really you get to see the epilogue which I will put up tomorrow.
