I walked hand in hand with Mason into Java Jones. I paused when I heard someone shout my name. Probably someone from school. I told myself. "ELLE RENEE HERONDALE! YOUR DAD AND I WERE WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU! AND YOU'RE HERE? WITH SOME FREAK?" I heard Ryan shout. I turned around, cringing at the thought of him.
He sprinted over to me and grabbed my shoulders. I squirmed and looked up at Mason. "Hey, man, let her go." Mason cooley said to Ryan. Ryan turned to face the other boy. I expected him to yell or shout at Mason. But he took one look at him and punched Mason's jaw. "What the heck, man? I walked her here! I actually saved her ass!" Mason yelled at Ryan. He stumbled back holding his jaw. "Whatever, Elle. I'll see you some other time." Mason said and stumbled out of Java Jones.
"WHAT THE HECK RYAN? I'M OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS! AND YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!" I screamed at him. He didn't even flinch. I slapped him flat palmed across his face. He dropped my hand in shock. I wasted no time kneeing him in the stomach. He dropped like a rock. I kicked him over in the stomach, shouting the vilest names I could think of at him.
He just laid there and took it. "Don't bother trying to look after me. I don't need another dad." I spat at him. "NO BUT YOU NEED A F*CKING KEEPER! WHERE WERE YOU?!" My dad yelled from behind me. "I was out. Tired of dealing with your crap." I spat at him. He tensed. I laughed.
"Old man, you're scared of me. Im glad. Maybe you do have some sense under that shallow pretty boy exterior." I watched as his lips curled up into a snarl. "Then again." I said, staring at my nails, picking at imaginary flaws. "Maybe not." I gave him a sideways smirk. He shook his head and sucked in air. "Elle. You need to come home, now. Everyone's worried about you." He tried to reason.
Unfortunately, for anyone who's ever tried to reason with me, I don't like logic. "Why don't you go home, Jace. I'll keep an eye out for Sebastian. I've heard I look a lot like him. Same white hair. Our cocky attitudes match up. Maybe I should go with him. Seems like maybe he'd understand me. Probably would kill you if he knew about Kaelie." I glared him down.
He flinched. Kaelie was his weak spot. I had discovered when I was around 8 years old my dad had had an affair. With some faerie named Kaelie. My mom had almost left him when she found out. And then she found out she was pregnant with me, and decided to give him a chance to be a father. I hated the damn faerie. And if I ever met her, I'd kill her and give her head to my mom as a trophy. Kaelie had almost single handedly destroyed my family. And I knew his family, Alec and Izzy, would have picked my mom over him in a heartbeat.
"Scared the damn faerie will find out dad? Scared mom will hear? Don't be. You scared I'll be disappointed? Don't worry, you never ranked highly in my book. Too busy trying not screw it up with my mom, to even notice me." I snarled at him. "I always noticed you! You're mom was the one too deep in her artwork to notice you! You don't even remember this, but when you were three, your mom took you to a park. She was too busy painting the park to notice when you'd gone missing. She found you in the clutches of Sebastian. He'd almost taken you. He'd almost taken my baby girl. All because of your mom. So don't ever tell me I don't care!" He screamed at me.
"Were going home." He said and helped Ryan to his feet. He slung me over his shoulder. I pounded against his back but he refused. He helped Ryan hobble out of the restaurant, while carrying me like a sack of potatoes.
