Victoria's P.O.V

I know that it's wrong but I think that I might love him. I know I seem like an idiot I mean I've only known him for what like 3 months but I feel like it's been years since I first laid eyes on him.

I was snapped out of my ogling by the doorbell and quickly put down my beloved milky way, Chad, to answer it.

Yes I know there bad when you eat more than your share but I just couldn't resist Chad the first moment I laid eyes on him on the supermarket shelf I knew that it would be the longest relationship that I've ever had.

I opened the door already dressed for work ,to reveal Emily standing behind it .

''Emily what are you doing here''

''I thought that we could have a girls day out'' she said in a fake enthusiastic manner

''I would love to but I can't I have to go to work today'' I replied, confused

''OH don't worry about that Edgar said you could have the day off''

''I'm grateful but I don't want special treatment it's not fair to the other employees''

'' Here if you feel so bad about it I'll call him so he can tell you himself'' she dialed his number

''Here'' she handed me here iPhone

''Hello''

''Victoria'' he answered in a rushed tone

''Edgar I don't think it's fair for me to get the day off when everyone else has to work'' I said determined

''Ms. Chase its best that you don't come in today'' he said cold heartedly

''Oh..........ok'' I barely forced the words to come out ,and ended the call

''I'll just stay at home today Emily, I'm not up for going out'' I gave a half hearted smile

''I'll stay with you'' she insisted

''Thanks''

''Sure no problem , so do you live here alone?'' she asked trying to change the subject

''No I live with my mother, Melissa she's at work''

''OK so, what are we gonna do all day'' I asked

''We could stay in and watch some movies''

''Ok, let me just go change you can pick the movie the kitchen's that way'' I pointed to the left

I ascended the  stairs as if I was on autopilot, why did he not want me to go to work today, have I not done my job efficiently, is he gonna fire me. So  many thoughts were racing through my head that I didn't even realize I had mistakenly  went to my mom's room instead of mine.

I turned around to exit when I stumped my  toe on a drawer that she must have left  open

''Shit!!!!!!!'' I screamed in pain

''Victoria are you okay'' Emily shouted from downstairs

''Yeah I'm fine''

''What is this doing open anyway'' I wondered out loud

I was about to close the drawer when I saw a little red chest peaking out, I've never seen this before , I opened the chest and found pictures of my mom and some guy hugging, and when of them kissing ,another of them in a park smiling the happiest I've ever seen her.

What is this. Who is this man that my mother seems to be so close to in these photos, where were they, from the looks of it they certainly weren't in London when these were taken. I felt a sudden nauseous feeling come over me I knew mom would never be with anyone other than my father, but that was it I'd never seen my dad but this man, this person in these photos looked just like me , we had the same nose, same green eyes and the exact same sharp jawline, but my mom wouldn't do this to me she wouldn't ,every time I asked about him or if she had any pictures of him she said no, the answer was always a negative, that's why I just stopped asking.

No she wouldn't lie to me, not about this.

Not about my father.
