A/N – Hello everyone I have a quick note to make. I am currently in the process of writing two stories. I usually update everyday however I am finding this hard to do every single day. I have decided updates will be on Monday's, Tuesdays and Thursdays and maybe the weekends some weeks but not every week. This makes it a lot easier for me and I hope you will all still read my stories
Chapter 7 – Trouble
The next day was Sunday. Dad had no idea I was visiting Mandy so often, he would flip if he found out as he thinks she isn't safe. Mandy and I had gone to the hospital again to see the doctor about a higher dose, as I am so young she needs to discuss it with her boss so she will ring me later letting me know what is happening.
Mum made us go out for a walk in the woods for some family time, it was so boring and long, I lagged behind them all texting Mandy and sending her pictures of trees.
'Oh look another tree; this is such a fun time!' I texted and attached the picture of a tree, she texted back a laughing face.
After we got home I decided to go for a shower, so I put my phone on the kitchen counter and went upstairs.
Vaughan's POV
Leo had gone upstairs for a shower and Olga and I were watching TV in the living room and talking when all of a sudden his phone started to ring.
"Is that Leo's?" Olga asked looking around
"Yeah just ignore it; it will stop in a minute"
After a few more rings it stopped but then a minute later it started ringing again.
"Someone really wants to speak to Leo" said Olga
"They will get the message he can't answer"
I was wrong. His phone kept stopping and starting again and again. After it had started ringing for the fifth time I got annoyed.
"Right I have had enough of that ringing!" I said and walked to the kitchen picking up the phone. I didn't make a habit of answering either of my sons' calls but this is ridiculous.
"What!?" I said a bit more angry than I should have done. I was so angry I hadn't even looked at the name.
"Leo?" a voice I didn't recognise said
"No this is his father, Leo can't answer right now"
"Oh Mr Fitzgerald, this is Leo's doctor can you tell him to call me back?"
"Doctor...why has Leo being seeing a doctor?"
"He told you about it, now I was supposed to see Leo and his sister tomorrow but something has come up so it will have to be Tuesday, can you tell him?"
"Wait...sister?"
"Yes they come to the appointments together"
"Leo doesn't have a sister! He only has a brother" I said annoyed
"Stepsister then" she said and for one crazy moment I thought of Tiffany. But Tiffany and Leo hadn't of got on very well I doubt she would go with him.
"What's the name of this 'sister'?" I asked
"Oh, you should know she's your daughter, Mandy"
I heard the name and immediately know who it was and I wasn't happy.
"Oh Mandy, sorry one of them days, I will tell them both"
"Ok thank you Mr Fitzgerald, goodbye"
I hanged up the call and felt the anger rising
"LEO DOWN HERE NOW!"
Leo's POV
I had just finished getting dressed when I heard dad yelling for me to go down, I rolled my eyes and ignored him as I still needed to dry my hair.
"LEO NOW I AM SERIOUS" he shouted loudly. I got up and stormed out my room, stomping down the stairs and walking into the living room.
"WHAT!?" I said angrily as I had been in the middle of something
"Don't use that tone with me young man, sit down!" he said
I sat on the sofa folding my arms annoyed; I didn't want to talk to dad.
"I just got an interesting call" he said looking at me
"You called me all the way down to tell me you got a phone call?" I said thinking he had finally lost it.
"No...You got a phone call" he replied.
"YOU ANSWERED MY PHONE! THAT'S AN INVASION OF PRIVACY"
"Well it wouldn't stop ringing Leo, it was getting annoying"
I got worried then. Thinking Mandy had been calling me, sometimes when she is bored she keeps calling or texting me till I answer as she has nothing else to do but annoy me. I looked at dad trying to get a hint of who it had been.
"It was a doctor" he said putting me of guard. The doctor rang on a Sunday?
"A ...doctor?" I asked pretending not to know anything
"Yes a doctor she told me to tell you and your sister that she can't see you tomorrow"
"Sister? She must be mistaken and meant brother"
"Na she was very clear Leo, I had no idea you had a sister named Mandy"
I gulp. I knew this wasn't going to be pleasant and I couldn't get out of it.
"Well...I..."
"You are still seeing Mandy? I have told you time and time again I don't want you near her"
"Why not!? She's lovely"
"She tried to attack you with scissors!"
"She never touched me with them; she was terrified that's why"
"Leo...she's dangerous"
"No she isn't! I have been visiting her for months and she has never attacked me before"
"Oh so you have been visiting when I specially told you not to?"
"YES IT'S MY LIFE"
"Why are you seeing a doctor anyway?"
"I...I'm not ...Mandy goes to get her tablets she doesn't like to go by herself"
"Then why did the doctor ring you?"
"Erm...Mandy doesn't want people in the clinic to know that I go with her...so she gave the doctor my phone number"
"You aren't lying to me are you Leo?" he said looking at me in the eye but I had got great at lying.
"No dad that's the truth"
He seemed to buy it and said I could go but as I got to the doorway I heard him speak and turned around.
"You can't see Mandy anymore either Leo"
I nodded and turned away whispering to myself "Yes we will see about that"
