I entered my dad's car and drove straight home. At least I was safe. But I still had a big problem. How would I explain to my dad, how would I convince him after telling him everything?
I was in my room, thinking about what to do, when my phone rang. I looked, and it was my dad.
Me: "Hello."
Dad: "What am I hearing?"
Me: "What's that, Dad?"
Dad: "Are you asking? Aren't you aware that your stepmom was arrested?"
Me: "I'm aware, Dad, I'm on my way to the police to know what happened," I lied.
Dad: "Stay with your stepsister. Don't go anywhere. I'm coming back tomorrow morning. Very early in the morning."
Me: "But, Dad."
Dad: "What is it?"
Me: "There's something I would love to tell you once you come back."
Dad: "It's alright, but is it related to her arrest?"
Me: "Somehow. I will tell you everything."
Dad: "OK, take care. I'm coming back."
I hung up the call and dropped the phone on the bed as my heart started beating fast.
