Taylor’s Pov
He actually lied to me!
He face says everything, he doesn’t need to even try and defend himself because it’s so obvious he lied to me, the minute I mentioned his father, his face fell and he looked so down casted.

“Who told you anything about him… He said softly.

“That doesn’t matter.

“Yes it do.. He said raising it voice.

“Shawn… But it’s true isn’t it

“Yes… He said simply.

“Why would you lie to me about something so sacred as family.

“Because to me I don’t have a father… He said firmly reaching for his shirt which he out on.

“Tell me about it… I said softly.

“No… I don’t want you to look at me differently.

“I think that should be up to me to decide don’t you think… I said folding my hands.

“Everyone I tell looks at me differently they try to conceal it but that look is still there.

“Hey… My name is Taylor not everyone.

“Still I don’t know what I’ll do if your image of me changes.

“It won’t I promise.. I said smiling.

“I hit my dad once when I was twelve.. He started as I took a sit keeping a straight face unaffected, I guess having been judged without been confronted made me promise myself never to do same.

“Why aren’t you running out the door… He said surprised.

“Because I don’t know why.

“He would hit my mum severally as he came home drunk… Mason said tightening his fists.

“What!… I exclaimed.

“He drinks, smokes and cheats on mum on their freaking matrimonial bed.

“Mason I’m…

“Don’t pity me… He said firmly.

“I don’t, I understand you.

“Then this night he came home extremely drunk, my mum as always would wait for him till he comes back I still couldn’t understand why she loved him after the beating the scars the insults while I watched as Annabelle slept too young to understand anything.

“I remember it just like it was yesterday, the memory plastered in my brain, I remember the stench of the alcohol that night, the cigarette in his hand as he tried to satisfy his libido by forcing himself on mom…he said rage clearly visible on his face.

“Animal… I spat out unable to control my rage.

“I remember the way he slapped her severally when she protested,what I also remember was when she begged for mercy as he dragged her hair ripping her clothes off… He said as I ran to his side hugging him sniffling.

“But do you know what broke my every resolve.

“He had the nerve to use his pocket knife to slice her face…He said sniffling too.

“Mason.. I said a tear threatening to drop.

“So twelve year old grabbed the lamp I could find And I hit him with it, as hard as I could with no regret as he held his head in pain, mum couldn’t stop crying Annabelle was barely awake when we grabbed the little we could leaving the house.

“He isn’t dead… Mason said as I rested my head on his shoulder.

“He should’ve…

“He came later begging while we stayed at Jenny’s place.

“Mon threatened to call the police if he didn’t leave, she filled for a divorce and it was granted.

“But after that day I vowed that I’ll never have anything to do with him, to me he’s dead I don’t have a father… He said firmly as I dared look into his eyes noticing a tear forming but like a moment of weakness he blinked it away.

“Uncle helped mum out to start her own business and that’s where we are now,shawn and I were extremely close and so out of the four of us I only told him and Timothy but I guess he couldn’t keep a secret.

“Mason I’m sorry for making you let all that out, it was obvious you weren’t ready.

“No it’s okay, I was tired of lying to you anyway it was like a weight on my shoulder.

“Now I only hope you won’t look at me like the boy who was violent enough to hit his own father

“Are you crazy! Of course not it was practically self defence, you were protecting your mother and I can never see you differently for that… I said hugging him from my side.

“Thank you… He said sighing.

“You’re welcome… Now go get dressed… I said as he stood up while I reached from my phone.

“Oh sh*t!… I exclaimed as he crossed my mind I didn’t inform my parents I would be spending the night out which is why it wasn’t a surprise when I had…

“23 texts from mum.

“64 missed calls from mum.

“12 texts from dad.

“40 missed calls from dad.

And just one text from my annoying bro, well since it’s one I might as well read it.

“Hey sis,im sure you forgot to inform mum and dad you won’t be coming home, so I have a deal for you we both know you’ll get at least a month of grounding but with my help it’ll just be two days… Send me a text when you get this… It read as I rolled my eyes.

“What do you have in mind… I texted back as he replied immediately.

“Just come home and play along and oh you owe me big time… It read as I glared at the phone.

“is everything alright… Mason asked as I stared at him.

“Oh nothing it’s just I didn’t tell my parents I would be spending the night out.

“Oh… You’re in trouble.

“Actually I’m not my bro got me covered but I owe him one for that and I hate it when I owe people… I said as he chuckled.

“We should get going then…

“Alright I’ll freshen up quickly and meet you downstairs, first I have to do one little thing… I said as he looked at me weirdly as I jumped back into bed.

“Tradition remains tradition.. I thought smiling as I closed my eyes.

“Well I’m totally dead today, but at least the day started averagely good so i hope it won’t go bad now I just Have to make sure I don’t a month of grounding, I’ll literally die of boredom.

“OK time to face the music… I thought blinking my eyes open heading to the bathroom as I freshened up before heading downstairs to meet mason.

 

I walked downstairs slowly still noticing a few students hungover from last night trying to look for mason with my eyes.

“You hair is all messy… Mason said as I turned back shock.

“I really didn’t have time to clean it common let’s go.

“Having messy hair doesn’t really give a good impression… He said smirking as I gasped

“You see… I literally just saved your life.

“Yeah right.

“I’ll go get a towel I’ll be right back… I said going into the kitchen.

“Exactly what I need… I said out loud reaching for the hand towel.

“Disgusting… I said as the towel slipped off my hand noticing the sight right in front of me.

“Gross… I added as Shawn picked Mitch up placing her on the counter.

“Hey what’s wrong you look dazzled… Mason said as I used the towel to clean to my hair up.

“Oh it’s nothing… I said forcing a smile as we walked out of the house heading for mine.

 

We were close to my house when I started fidgeting hoping Collin’s plan would work else I would dead for sure.

“Scared you might get grounded.

“I know I’ll get grounded for sure…I said as he laughed running his hands through his hair.

“It’ll be alright.. He said squeezing my hand reassuringly.

“I hope so… I said as we reached my house.

“It’ll be alright I’ll text you later.. He said smiling.

“You look really beautiful… He repeated as I smiled once more.

“I had an amazing time mason… Thank you… I said smiling.

“Same here… He said as I sighed loudly before twisting the knob walking in meeting them on the dinning table.

“Hey sis…Collins said smirking as I glared at him.

“Collins told us everything dear you can go upstairs and freshen up We’ll talk after breakfast… Dad said as I nodded slowly walking upstairs slowly to my room.

“That was weird…Jeez Collins what have you done.. I thought heading to my room to change since I freshened up at the room.

 

I walked back downstairs after 5 minutes as Collins was gathering the plates as he winked at me.

“I’m grounded for sure… I thought face palming myself.

“So dear…Dad started.

“Dear’s never good… My subconscious taunted.

“Why didn’t you tell us you finally made a friend… He said as I raised my brows.

“You know Jenny your friend.. Mum added as I nodded.

“Ohh yeah.

“But next time I’ll appreciate if you tell us you had us worried sick… Dad said as I nodded.

“Thank you… Collins… I thought biting my lips trying not to smile.

“You would have been grounded till forever but since you made a friend and you spent the night at her house it’s okay…

“Thanks dad… I said grinning.

“I’ll go back to my chores now… I said grinning.

“I’m still confused though… My said as my smile faded.

“If you spent the night at Jenny’s place, the bike at the house who was it for… Mum said as I froze.

“Umm the bike… Collins tried to say.

“Shh you… I want Taylor to speak… Mum said as I groaned.

“Umm the bike belonged to a friend.

“A male friend.. Dad said raising his brows.

“Umm yeah… I said lowly.

“You went to the party with an actual guy… Mum said as I nodded.

“Who’s the guy… Dad said annoyed.

“He’s no one dad just someone I met recently and decided to just go with you know.

“I don’t know… Dad said as Collins chuckled.

“My baby girl is not ready for boys… Dad said as I smiled.

“It’s just one party dad.

“You sure.

“Hundred percent… I said smiling thankful I had gotten out of this one.

“I’ll get it… Collins said as the door bell rang.

“Oh… Come.. In…. Mason… Collins said smirking.

“Mason… What!.. I thought glaring at him as he walked in.

“Good morning ma’am, sir… mason said as my mum smiled while dad gave him a quick nod.

“And you are young man… Mum said.

“Mind my manners please..
I’m mason Kendal Taylor’s boyfriend… He Said as I chocked on an imaginary water.

“Boy… What! … Dad exclaimed as I raised my brows.

“Umm… Dad calm down..

“Was he the guy from yesterday.

“Yes dad and he was just leaving… I said glaring at mason.

“What the hell are you doing.

“Making sure you don’t get in trouble.

“You’re getting me into trouble.

“I am not.

“You are you dumb a$$

“I’m not..

“Too… I said gritting my teeth.

“Argg… He groaned.

“Just go.

“I’ll go if I want to don’t tell me what to do.

“Ahh.. Em.. Dad said faking a cough as we both turned slowly.

“How long have you two been dating… Mum said smiling.

“Two weeks… Mason said confidently as dad glared at him.

“Mason… I called out forcing a smile.

“Umm dad can I talk to him for a second… I said pulling him closer.

“What are you doing!

“I told you making sure you don’t get in trouble.

“This isn’t helping!

“It will I’m so lovable.

“I don’t love you.

“You will… He said as I froze.

“Okay now that that’s settled…

“Of course I’ll stay for a while…he said out loud as I zoned out still trying to process his words.
