I thought almost getting caught by Dad was embarrassing. It's worse when Lanie catches you. I slid down on the bed so I could lay my head down on Kate's chest, hopping if I turned my back to them, they'd leave.

" Alexis, does your dad know you're here?" Jenny asked

"Yes, he doesn't know what we're doing. Please don't tell him." I said, tears streaming down my face.

"Actually, he's the one who called us. Someone had called him and didn't respond. He wanted us to make sure you're safe."

"I've never been safer than in Kate's arms. I just wanna stay here."

"Alexis, your dad is here. We'll let Kate get dressed and meet you in the living room." Lanie said, as she left the room. Jenny closed the door, shaking her head.

" I'm worried about Dad. I mean I know how he feels about you. He'll try and convince me that what we have isn't love. I'm scared he'll make me move to California." I told Kate, already sobbing.

"Alexis, we're both adults. If he doesn't like it, you can move in with me. If he even tries to send you to California, I don't care if he's friends with the Mayor, I'll do everything I can to protect you. Now let's go out there and see what he wants."

"Alexis, you're coming home with me NOW! Kate, don't even think about coming over tonight. We're DONE!" Dad yelled. I knew he'd be angry, I didn't think he'd be furious. He's usually open to different people's lifestyles. That is unless it's about his daughter.

"I love you Kate!" I yelled

"I love you too Alexis!" was the last thing I heard from Kate's apartment.
