Trouble 🌀 EDITING

Stories of the past

Everyone was in our living room. By everyone I meant Adam who sat beside, Kevin, My dad of course, Hank, Vanessa I was kind enough to invite her, Adam keeps reminding me that I'm the mean one so I'm here to prove a point. Vanessa is my new best friend. Will, Natalie, April, Kelly, Sylvie, Connor, Stella and Hailey of course dad loves her and she has just realised she loves him, I'm kinda a third wheel. We were all in the living room, they were drinking, we were eating. I honestly couldn't tell you how this happened both my dad and I aren't the most social of people, so it was strange to say the least. I was with Adam when I invited Vanessa to prove a point and I'm not going to loose. I also invited Will don't know about everyone else but they somehow are here to. I would love a drink but given the fact I'm in a room with cops and my dad already said no actually he said he would lock me in our basement if I had a sip of alcohol, now I don't know if that includes just today or not but I have plans than this week. "So let me get this straight you figured out their case while he was in the hospital" April asks smirking Will gives me a fist pump. "It wasn't hard" I shrug "Also found out she is the most stubborn person on the planet" Kevin said "could have told you that she wouldn't leave the house without hugging him when she was younger if he forgot the hug she just wouldn't leave man mouse had it hard" Will said point to my dad I gasp "I wasn't that bad you make me sound terrible" "you are pretty bad" Adam said smirking a smirk that tells me his planning on winning, causing me to scowl. He laughs shoving me "I'm the nicest person Adam" it may have been a tad bit passive aggressive. I hear my dad scoff "no your not" my dad said making me frown he laughs coming over wrapping his arms around me pulling me up causing me to laugh as he hugs me. "But we wouldn't be the dynamic duo if you were nice all the time but you do have my heart" "better your than the alternative" I say causing him to laugh nodding as he releases me only for Adam to pull me down onto of him. "I'm sorry I'm new are they always like this" "yep" Kevin said nodding "wait till they start to team up" Hank said scowling I could tell he wasn't actually mad. I did know all our shenanigans did annoy him "there crafty to" Hailey adds from her spot cuddled into my dad the sight alone makes me scowl. "How long you been hacking" Vanessa asks clearly very interested "since I was three but I didn't actually start learning until I was six on the days that mouse couldn't get me out the door" "mouse" she asked confused "dads army friend...he lived with us looked after me while dad worked" I say. I could tell Hailey was jealous of how nice I'm being, but she didn't know it was a game. My eyes widen in realisation, my life has become a game and I hate it. I had no female friends, older like my dads age I of course have Belle but every other woman beside Kim I just can't get along with. Tears build up in my eye, I didn't know how to comprehend this information. I always dreamed about having a mother one better than my own. I look up seeing Connor sending me very concerned looks. I jump up out of Adams arms. He looks startled and concerned. "Frank" he said carefully, I run off to my room.

I sit in my bed I couldn't breath. "Hey hey Bailey you need to breath for me in and out copy me" his voice was so distant it sounded a million miles away. I copy Connors movements slowly gaining my breath back. "What happened" "I have had one dream one my whole life to find a woman to be my mother one that is better than my own now I have grown up" I wipe my eyes sighing "I have grown up so I know how unrealistic this is but um my life has turned into some game and I don't" it could also be the fact I'm lying to everyone, my dad rushes in concerned "Ley" "dad" I practically leapt into his arms, my mind reeling with the fact that this moment almost didn't happen. Who would I hug if he wasn't here. "Everyone misses you" he said after calming me down "want to come out or want me to send them home" "I will come out only if you snuggle me" he smiles nodding. I'm clingy especially after having a panic attack.

Hailey wasn't happy but to survive in this relationship she has with my dad she has to accept I'm the most important thing. Dad will always come to me first. I practically lay on my dad. "Bailey has always been the centre of the universe" "what the hell will" I shout making him laugh "it worked didn't it" I laugh now getting his weird trick. "Well next time I feel like a dance party you have to be there" "how is that a threat" Stella asked "none of these guys like dancing" I point out "you don't either" my dad said making me nod "true but I do get the need to dance around the living room like no one is watching and they are super unpredictable could happen any time" I shrug "god I remember when you forced me to leave work for one of your dance parties" Connor said "well my usual dance partner isn't around right now so I have to find a new one" I shrug "when did mouse stop picking you up from school" Adam asks confused "how long you been thinking about that question" "oh I have a list" "oh yeah you write it down" he reaches into his pocket "you bet I did" I laugh "oh wow you can write" I mock sitting up "um I was Ten I walked home I remember coming in a he had got those random popper things that explode he got a black one cause I always liked that dad even came home with cake which we had the next day together" he looks at me confused "we celebrated the little things what's your next question we're on a roll" he smirks "the first time you drank and have you ever done drugs" "14 and yes next" I rush out I could feel everyone staring at me but Adam and I were in the zone. The zone of what I have no clue. "How old were you when you hacked something by yourself for the first time" "nine mouse built me a computer and gave it to me the Christmas before it was" I rub my face trying to remember "Um oh yeah some bank account" I smile as it comes back to me "do I even want to know what you two did" Dad said quiet dramatically making me laugh "ok next question" Adam said "how many medals do you have" "um four for cheer seven for soccer so eleven" "how long have you been playing""when was your first medal" Vanessa and Hailey ask at the same time "I started with gymnastics when I could walk dad you tell me it's because I had far too much energy as a child...I started kicking a ball with him and mouse sometimes Will as well around that time started playing when I was three, it's not really competitive just a bunch of kids kicking it around and into the goal two days a week, I don't know whether to be proud or not but I did punch a kid in that class almost got kicked of the class" dad laughs "I remember that I was trying so hard not to laugh I had to pretend to be mad at you cause all the other parents were mad...you were looking up me with your big eyes you kept saying daddy I didn't mean it...you had tears in your eyes I felt so bad" "that kid was so annoying he deserved it" "oh yeah probably would have gotten you to do something his mum was annoying to" "started competitively playing when I was six which is when I got my first medal...we celebrated for like three weeks" dad laughs "I was proud" "you guys forced me to fly here to join" "it was a momentous occasion you deserved to be included although you did bring a lot of negativity" I say "he did" dad nods agreeing "I started cheerleading when I was eight...been doing it on and off since then I only consistently do soccer" "you do love it now back to me my last question" Adam said Impatiently "your mum your never talk about her" "no" I snap tensing up "but" "leave it alone Adam" my dad said making Adam nod. "Back to soccer you always played for the same club" Hailey asks I nod I silently thank her hoping she knows how thankful I am "yeah didn't start playing at a state level until I was thirteen" they nod. "When did you meet Belle" Kevin asks "when I was three but we didn't click until we were six she played soccer still does with me" "you never went to school" I shake my head "not until high school then I moved school but she followed" "so you go to the same school again" I nod smiling "she my sister my everything" they smile.
