*Sarah’s P.O.V*

Me and Dad spent about 2 hours on the phone to Brodie and Mikky. They’re coming to our new house tomorrow to spend the day, I feel soo happy at the moment, I have my entire family (Angela doesn’t count) back together and an amazing boyfriend, oh shit my boyfriend! He left earlier and he didn’t hug or kiss me.. Then again dad doesn’t know, I should tell him. I walked into the kitchen where Dad was unpacking.

“Dad?” I said trying to get his attention. He looked up.

“Yea sweetie?” he replied.

“I have a boyfriend.” I coughed. He stiffened a bit and stood up.

“Oh really? Who?” he asked leaning against the counter.

“M-Mark..” I mumbled. He just looked blank for a while. But he eventually smiled.

“Well, I’m just glad it’s someone I can trust with my baby girl, thank you for telling me. He leaned over a kissed my head before resuming to unpacking. I stood frozen. That wasn’t the reaction I thought I’d get.

“Wait.. What?” I was still confused on what just happened. Dad laughed then looked up at me.

“I. Approve.” He spoke slowly and clearly. Whilst having a goofy smile. I nodded, still amazed at his reaction and walked off. I went back to my room and laid on my bed, I decided to ring Mark, he didn’t answer so I watched TV ON MY NEW FLATSCREEN! About 20 minutes later he called back.

Me: hello?

Mark: Hey beautiful, sorry I didn’t answer I was in the shower

Me: that’s Okay, I wanted to tell you I told Dad about us

Mark: Oh…

Me: he smiled then said he apporves

Mark: wait.. What?

Me: I said the EXACT same thing.

Mark: Well, that’s weird, but really good!

Me: I know aye, well Brodie and Mikky are coming over tomorrow, would you like to meet them? Come over for tea?

Mark: sounds good! I’ll see you then beautiful, you better get some rest.

Me: Okay, good night

Mark: good night.

He hung up, I placed my phone on the bedside table and quickly got changed into pyjamas. I was wearing pants that were blue with the phrase “I’ll sleep for food” all over them. I was also wearing the jumper Mark got me. I snuggled into bed. It wasn’t long before sleep consumed me.

I was woken by a person jumping on my bed, I slowly opened my eyes to see Dad smiling like a goof.

“GET UP THEY”LL BE HERE IN AN HOUR!” he yelled before running out.

He makes me laugh, sometimes I wonder if I’m the parent not him. I got out of bed and into in to my luxury bathroom. I took a quick shower and hoped out. I wrapped a towel around me and one around my head. I went back to my room and locked the door. I changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and my cheer T-Shirt. It was a dark shade of grey with Cheetahs written in gold. I went in to the bathroom and applied a little gold eye shadow and eye liner. My hair was naturally straight so I brushed it and place it around to my left shoulder. I was now almost ready! I went back and chucked on my black and white vans before heading down stairs. I looked over to Dad and he was wearing blue jeans and a black button shirt with a pair of Nike runners. His hair was getting long. For a 40 year old, he looked quite young. We waited in the lounge. About half hour later we heard a car pull up. Dad looked out the window and seen Brodie in a Holden commodore with Mikky in the passenger. We waited until they knocked. When they did Dad jumped up and basically ran to the door, when he opened it I could hear the excitement in his voice. He led Brodie and Mikky into the living room. Brodie looked taller and he must have dyed his hair as its now really dark brown. He had beautiful brown eyes. He was about the same height as Mark. Mikky looked stunning! She had long brown hair like me with beautiful green eyes. She was a little shorter than me, by about 5 centimetres. She was wearing leggings and a tank top. Along with vans. She was the tiniest bit chubby but she looked way healthier then what I did.

“Hello Sar, long time no see?” Brodie spoke. His voice was deep.

“Too long big bro!” I replied standing up. I gave them both a hug and sat down with them and Dad.

We talked for ages, we made sandwiches for lunch then moved the coffee table in the lounge against the wall of the lounge. We grabbed all the blankets and pillows me could find and made a giant comfy seat. We all started talking and somehow got onto the topic of Angela.

“So, you’re officially divorced?” Brodie asked Dad. Dad smiled.

“Yep, it was official 14 months ago. Happiest day of my life besides the arrival of my two girls and meeting you Brodie.” He smiled like a goof.

“She showed up last week, trying to say she wanted us back and have one big happy family.” Brodie laughed. We all cracked up in laughter.

“Sorry to say but I would never, in a million years get back with, excuse my language.. Dumb ass physco bitch.” Dad groaned, it was hilarious both the words he used and the tone he had!

It reached 5:15 when I decided to make tea. I messaged Mark to come over. I was making steak and vegies for tea when the doorbell rang.

“I got it!” Dad called. He answered and I heard chatting before the door closing. I than felt arms sliding around my waist. I turned startled to see Mark grinning.

“Jesus, scared me!” I smiled. He laughed then let go and leaned against the counter.

“You Dad thinks you should introduce me seeing as I’m your boyfriend.” Mark chuckled. I smiled.

I grabbed his hand and walked into the living room. Brodie and Mikky looked straight to him.

“Brodie, Mikky. This is Mark, my boyfriend.” I smiled.

“It’s nice to meet you both.” Mark smiled. He sat down and started chatting to Brodie and Dad. I returned to the kitchen.

Mikky joined me in the kitchen and leaned against the bench,

“What’s up sis?” I asked.

“Boy talk. So boring.” She sighed.

“I know the feeling. How you been?” I asked serving up tea.

“I’m good. I’ve missed having you around. Always dealing with boys.” She sighed.

“Got a boyfriend?” I asked winking. She blushed.

“Yeah, his name is Kayden. His a brother of one of Brodie’s friends. His 16.” She replied. I paused.

“Wait… Kayden Johns?’ I asked smiling.

She blushed again.

“Yes my childhood crush.” She laughed. I thought it was adorable!

“How long have you been together?” I asked.

“A whole year next week.” She bit her lip.

“Awwww.” I chuckled.

“Boys! Dinners ready!” I called out.

They piled in and we all sat at the dining table. We ate in silence. Once we were done we chatted again. Eventually it got a bit late so Brodie and Mikky headed home. BIG NEWS! Dad asked if they wanted to move back in. They said yes! They’re moving in this weekend. Mark asked to stay the night and dad said yes. Dad was in bed by 9:30. Me and Mark went up to my room.

“I love your brother.” Mark smiled.

“Oh really?” I laughed.

“Yep, we both love basketball, cars and adore the shit out of you.” He then blushed realising what he said.

“Awww, you’re the adorable one!” I said pinching his cheek he laughed.

I went in and got changed in my bathroom. I was wearing the same pyjama pants as last night with a shirt Mark gave to me. I went back out and Mark was in a singlet and boxes. He looked at me smiling.

“May I say, my shirt looks good on you.” He laughed.

“Looks better on me hey?” I winked sitting beside him. He rolled his eyes smiling. 

“I actually think it does.” He smirked. I blushed slightly and rested my head into his chest, he was so warm. Sleep consumed me after a while.

--LATER THAT NIGHT --

I heard a loud crash downstairs. The sound pierced my ear and I awoke frightened. I looked over to see Mark had also woke up shocked, I looked over towards my alarm. 4:12AM. We both got out of bed and he opened my door slowly, I seen Dad I his door way looking over at us, he was holding his baseball bat. He looked relieved to see us. We slowly walked down the stairs before hearing a smash sound. Like. Glass?

 

We walked quickly through the kitchen and my cars alarm begins going off, it was a high pitch sound that cause my ears to ache badly. Dad and Mark raced out the front door while yelling“OI.”.

 

I remained inside. Mark came back in after a few minutes and said the crook had run off. But he and Dad seen who it was. F**kin Angela. I went out and looked only to find mine, Dads and Marks cars all damaged. All my windows were broken, the two front doors were severely caved in and my headlights were broken. Dads car was the least damaged. It only had smashed in windows except the back window. Marks car, strangely, was the most damaged. His use had all smashed windows, his doors were caved in and all his headlights and tail lights were smashed. His bonnet had massive dents, his tray outline was covered in dents and his roof looked like Angela had keyed it multiple times. I felt my face boil in rage.

 

“That fu-“ Dad paused, he was now clenching his fists. (Okay so, my dad is never angry. When he clenches his fists the way he just did… run.)

“Dad?” I sighed.

I knew what he was thinking instantly. He slowly turned to me, his eyes had gone dark.. Beyond dark, basically black. Why the hell are they black?! He was staring for a moment, he looked at Mark but he no longer looked angry. He was devastated? He released his fists and walked towards us. He was looking so, upset. It was breaking my heart.

“Sorry hunny, I’m just so-“ I cut Dad off.

“Angry? So am I. we need to call the police though.” I sighed. Mark rang the police and we gave a statement each. Marks dad ended up picking him up at about 6:30AM. I realised Dad was meant to leave for his trip later today. I know deep down now his not going to want to leave.

“Dad?” I called from the kitchen. I was sitting at the counter with a warm coffee. I was so tired.

“Yes?” he replied entering the room.

“Have you packed yet?” I asked getting to the point. His eyes widened.

“Excuse me?” he replied sharp.

“For your trip.” I half smiled. He sighed. He sat beside me placing his arm around my shoulder.

“I don’t want to leave you hunny…” he sighed, but sounding like he was going to cry.

“Dad, it’s important and I think you should go. Mark was saying I can stay at their house if I need too. As long as you and Luke is alright with it.” I chuckled.

He was hesitant but agreed after a few moments. He rang Luke at 7:30 and talked for about an hour. Once he got off the phone he came up to my room where I was sitting with Alia. Amazingly she slept through the entire thing! It wasn’t till I came up to my room she woke up from her bed. Damn husky’s sleep through everything!

“Luke said it’s alright to stay there. Only rule is you cannot go anywhere by yourself. You’re not to come here without him or Mark and Alia will have to stay in the backyard there as his allergic.” Dad explained sitting on my
