Sorry for not updating yesterday as I was busy!

I was happy that everything was out in the open now. Sure, I was still annoyed that I found out the way I did but there was nothing I could do about that now. It was the end of the day so I texted Karla telling her that I'm fine but I won't be going hers tonight. She was just happy that I was fine.

"Can I see my dad? He needs to know that you've told me everything."

"Of course. Come on let's go find him." We both stood up and walked out of the office to see Max sat on the seats outside. No one else was in the room. He stood up and instantly put his hand on my shoulder, "I'm so so sorry Pandora."

"It's okay. Miss, I mean mum, has explained what happened."

"I was thinking of Rachel coming round tonight just so we can spend a bit of time together." He looked to me and then Rachel.

"I will as long as it's okay with you Pandora." Rachel offered as she looked at me, waiting for my decision. I wanted things to change now. I want to become the family that we should have been, even if that means that I only see Miss in school and any arrangements for the time being.

"Yea of course. It'll take me a while to get used to you being my mum but just give me time."

"I'm so proud of you." Max wrapped his arms around his daughter and she did the same to him, "Rachel is going to be a wonderful mum and I'm happy that you're giving her a chance."

"I'm happy too. No more lies from now on though."

"Promise." Rachel placed a hand on my shoulder and Max agreed, "I couldn't have put it better myself."

We all went home, Rachel went back to her house and we went back to ours so we could get sorted. Max told Rachel to pop by whenever she was ready. As soon as Pandora went through the door, she went straight upstairs to find something to wear and to start sorting out her hair and make-up. She wanted to look nice since this was an important occasion to her and she knew Max and Rachel would feel the same way.

Half an hour later, she came downstairs and showed her father what she had chosen to wear. She was wearing black denim shorts, purple high top converse trainers and a lovely white sleeveless shirt. Her hair had been completely straightened (for school she just brushed it through) and her make-up was natural. She did look lovely indeed.

"What do you think? I haven't overdone it have I?"

"No, you look really nice. Rachel's on her way here now so you've timed that well."

"I try." I walked past him and sat down in the living room whilst I waited for Rachel to turn up. I was like a little puppy in a pet shop window.

A couple of minutes later, Rachel knocked on the door and entered the home. She looked at my outfit and told me I looked lovely. She came and sat down next to me on the three seated sofa and asked me how I was. I said that all of this feels weird but in a good way before she said it feels the same way from her perspective. That's when dad came in the room with a few board games.

"Right, let's see what we have here then. Ker Plunk, Snakes and Ladders, Trivial Pursuit and I've got God knows what else in that cupboard." I made my way over and started examining the boxes, knowing that it was likely that they wouldn't be bothered which one we played.

"Let's go with an old classic shall we?" I said as I picked up the Snakes and Ladders. Max moved the other two games out of the way before retreating to the kitchen, "Want anything to drink?"

"Just a coke will be fine thanks dad."

"I'm fine for the moment. Thanks anyway."

Moments later, dad bought out a drink for himself (he got himself a coke as well) and saw that Rachel and I had set up and were just waiting him to pick a counter to use. They were four colours: red, blue, yellow and green. I chose blue, mum chose green and dad chose yellow. We then decided the turn order. I said I wanted to go first but mum and dad had to play rock paper scissors to decide the turn order. Max won so he went second even though Rachel accused of him cheating as a joke but I just said, "Nothing to do with me!"

After a good hour of going forwards and backwards (there are way too many snakes on this board) we were finally on the last few spaces. And we were all on the same space. This was going to be interesting!
