The call with Julie lasts about two hours. Everything she says is a lot for me to take in.
My dad didn't just cheat on Julie, but apparently does some really sketchy business. Julie is always kept out of the loop of course, but she does notice some weird documents laying around every once in a while. She doesn't elaborate on that topic, and I'm glad about it.
After my dad and Julie had talked everything through, he went back to that girl again, not caring about Julie one bit. Also, he's apparently drunk every day and Julie suspects that he even slept with a prostitute every now and then.
I feel heavy once we end the call. I'm glad I ended it, I couldn't have taken another thing Julie wanted to say. She said so many things, yet she still wasn't done. We could have talked for hours and hours. I get that she's upset, I really do, but I view my dad completely different now. I don't want to believe her every word blindly, but I'm so angry and upset that my dad would do this to Julie, treat her this way. I guess he's not the man I thought he was. Maybe I don't even know him at all.
Wondering if my sister Ava has talked to Julie already, I decide to call her.
"Hey you" she answers as she picks up.
"Hey... I just spoke to Julie" I get right to the point.
"Yeah..." Ava drifts off. "We talked too, earlier today."
"Crazy, right? I don't even know what to say about the things I just heard" I sigh.
"I know, me too. I honestly don't know what to feel. I can't believe we're being dragged into this again" she says.
"Me too... I just wanted to hear what you think about all of this" I say, laying down on my bed to breathe normally for the first time in hours.
"I'm mad. It's like, he's not the man I thought he was" she says. I can hear in her voice that she's just as confused as me.
"That's what I thought right after the call" I let her know.
"Let's just not overthink it. Let it sink for a few days. It's not really our business after all" Ava suggests.
I feel the same way, I don't want to worry about another thing that isn't for me to worry about.
"Yeah, sounds like a good idea. What are you up to these days then?" I ask her trying to forget everything else.
"Same old. Work, traveling to see Ryan some weekends" she says.
Ryan is Ava's boyfriend, they've been together for about four years. He recently moved to Southern California, so their relationship just became long distance. It's not easy on her, I can tell. He goes off and does his thing while she has to travel back and forth for him if she wants to see him at all. He doesn't really make the effort, but again, not my business.
"You've been keeping busy with a certain Jace, I hear?" she asks me.
