Amelia's POV

It's been about three weeks since I've started living with dad. Things haven't been too bad, considering dad is usually working most of the time, and I'm at school.

Liam and I have been hanging out at school a lot. Kista is thrilled about it, and she said if all goes well, Liam's friend James that Krista likes will be hers. Krista is a determined person. She's always been that way. But Liam invited me to his
house

Friday night. I don't know how to ask dad. Krista suggested that I say I'm hanging out at her house, I get dropped off, and I leave my phone so dad can't track me.

"Hey dad?" I knock nervously on dads study door.

"Open the door." He calls. "What is it Amelia?"

"I-I have a question... can I hangout at Kristas Friday evening? All we would do is watch movies." Lies, lies, lies.

"I don't see why not." My mouth drops open at dads answer. "Things have been good here, and you are still doing great in school. I trust you." Dad really trusts me? "You do need security though..."

"Please dad... only for this one time, no security? Kristas dad is a policeman remember." I beg.

"Amelia, fine." Wow... really? It was this easy.

"Yes! Thank you dad." I smile. "Thank you!"

Dad laughs a little at my excitement. "Remember, I do trust you. Don't do anything to break that trust." Dad tells me sternly.

I must admit something. I'm extremely shocked that dad trusts me. I amactually seriously crazy shocked. I do feel bad about lying.

I shake the guilt off.

Amelia, have u talked too ur dad yet? -K

Yes... I told him what you wanted me to tell him -A

Holy shit. I'm impressed. Can't wait. Tomorrow is going to be hella fun! -K

I smile at Kristas messages. She's now excited. I guess that I should let Liam know.

Hey. Tomorrow at your place with your friends and Krista sounds good:) -A

Grey girl actually lied? I'm impressed;) -L

Lol Krista was impressed to. It's just a little white lie though -A

I know but still impressed too. See ya later:) -L

Okay, laters -A

I can't believe I lied. I am impressed too with myself. Seriously, I've always been scared too lie. I haven't ever lied, up until now that I can think of. Dad would always have a way of finding these things out. But, as I get older, I get smarter.

"Ms. Grey? Dinner is ready." Gail calls through my bedroom door.

Opening my door quickly, I thank Gail. I go downstairs, and I smell dinner. Dad is sitting at the table waiting for me. Of course, he wants too make sure I eat.

"Hi dad." I offer a small smile.

"Hello Amelia." Dad returns the smile, kinda shockingly.

I'll admit that things here have been a little tense. Dad, and I aren't super duper close. But he's just always so busy with work, and I think he's kidding something. Elena has been here at least three times in the past few weeks. I asked dad why, andit's
apparently strictly not my business. It's sketchy if you ask me.

"Amelia?" Dad asks. I look up at him, away from my food so, he knows I'm listening. "Tomorrow I'll have Taylor pick you up from Kristas by seven. I think seven is late enough too be out." Dad tells me.

"That's fine." I hope Liam, and Krista don't complain about the time.

"I know it's fine." Dad agrees.

The rest of dinner was quiet. Sorta awkward if you ask me. I just waited to be excused.

After brushing my teeth, I go to change into pyjamas. Pulling my hair up, I groan in frustration. Grandma used to braid my hair. I suck at braids, and I doubt dad knows anything about braids himself. It's annoying that I can only pull my hair up.
