“I never believed the rumors but now that I see what your life is like in New York City, I believe everything I hear. You are a slut.”
“Now wait a minute. Just because I was having fun with Asher and Liam, it doesn’t mean I am a slut. What I do in private is my business.”
“None of my business? You don’t get it. In this town, your reputation is all you have. Now you’ve gone and ruined the family honor.”
“The family honor? I never knew we had any.”
My father jumps towards me with his hand extended like he is going to slap me. I jump out of the way before he can bring his hand to my face.
“Were you going to slap me?”
“Yes, I was. Lord knows you deserve it.”
“Like hell, I deserve this.”
We both stand silent and stare at each other. My dad is the first to break eye contact.
“Look, if you do as I say now, maybe we can rectify this whole thing and wipe this scandal from the minds of the townspeople.”
“What scandal?”
My father shakes his head.
“I want you to stop seeing Asher and Liam. Let’s get the attention off your relationship with them.”
“What do you mean stop seeing them? I'm not doing anything of the sort. I know all about your plan. Why I went along with it, I’ll never know. But I am a grown woman, and I can do anything I want.”
I look directly in my father’s eyes.
“And to hell with you and the townspeople. Asher and Liam mean the world to me, and I will never let them go.”
Before my father can say anything to me, I rush out of the living room and go to the door. I grab my suitcase and pull out my phone. I feel horrible and I don’t want to be alone.
I need to be with people who care about me.: Asher and Liam. Since the weekend, I feel more attached to them than ever before.
