Chapter 152

"April, why the hell are you still stand there? Let's go, your father is in trouble. It doesn't matter what happened, we will talk about this after we make sure your father is okay." Mom shouted at me as she rushed to grab her car keys and rsuh out to the door. I stood still trying to comprehend if this girl's agenda is what she is saying it is. "The thing is Mom, i've been lied to before by this bitch and I am pretty she would do it again without batting an eye. She's so good at it, I have to clearly think before I believe whatever she has to say. " I said wrapping my arms around me showing Mom that I have no interest in leaving this house, if she's even interested in what I have to say. I felt someone softly tug my hand forward, I looked up and Taylor was walking to the door following Mom.

I swiftly grabbed her hand causing her to turn and look at me, I softly smiled. It's like a forced smile but I know it's the only langauge she understands being nice and soft, "I don't think i'm going to come with you, guys. I hate everything that has anything to do with Autumn, she's a liar and I would be careful if I were you." I said letting go of her hand and shoving my hands into my pockets. "What if he is actually in trouble, April?" I chuckled in disbelief. "What if he's not?" I asked her in disbelief that she actually believe Autumn. "Are you willing to take that chance with your father's life?" I formed my lips in a straight line trying to fight off the urge to nod my head at her question. The man abandoned us a few months ago and now he needs us to come to his rescue, if he is really in trouble, I think I will pass.

"Just come with us, it won't kill you and it will certainly save you from Mom." I groaned realising she's right, she giggled and hurried outside to the car. I threw my hands in the air in frustration, I hate this, I hate doing something I don't want to do. I am trying to live my own life by my own damn rules but it seems like I can't do that with Mom and Dad still around, too bad Gasant can't get to her. Bad joke, I scolded myself as I laughed a bit, I grabbed my car keys from bedroom and made my way to the garage. As I was walking to my garage, I noticed Chris standing at the doorway with his hands form in a knuckle, that can only mean one thing in this situation and that is he is not coming with me for moral support. "Hey, what are you standing here for? let's go, we can still catch up with my mother." I said hitting his shoulder playfully as I hurried to open the garage outside and get to my car.

"I don't think i'm gonna come with you but I promise I will be here when you come back." I turned to look at him and he had this awkward smile on his face, he's lying he won't be here but why is he lying. "You do remember you were once my father and there's nothing I would've done for you?" He instantly looked away as I said that, he said nothing but the aura changed to intense. I stood there for a minute waiting for him to say something, as the seconds rolled by I felt more embarrased and angry, he can't even say anything reassuring me now. I stood there waiting for him, looking at him while he chose to look away. One thing that i've learned in my relationship with Chris its to value myself, I turned and walked to my car.

I would be lying if I said that awkward moment did not break my heart, it's like everytime he is near me he's trying to break my heart on purpose. I've never seen someone who does nothing, not even bare minimum in another person's life like Chris does. He makes it so hard for me to live my life, I can't move past the fact that I love him and this is the man that i'm suppose to spend the rest of my life with but it doesn't seem like he agrees much with this. I started my car and drove out of the garage and he was still standing there just looking at me, I looked at him before driving away anticipating if he's worth anything, if I should say something to try and convince him that he might not be worthy of my love but I am worthy of his love.

"You don't have to lie about your whereabouts, you don't have to hide from me but you do have to tell me the truth. You are hiding something and I will find out what you are hiding and when I do find out, it won't be nice." I said and immediately drove out of my driveway and sped to Mom's house. I arrived at Mom's house and the door was left wide open, I took my phone and pressed on Tyson's cell number, he's the only one who always has his cellphone on him. He picked up on the third ring "Mom left the door wide open or someone other than her, are you guys home?" I heard Tyson chuckle. "April, why didn't you just go inside the house and check if anyone is home?"

"I've walked into too many traps in my life led by Autumn, I didn't want to take a chance with my life." he laughed once again and abruptly cleared his throat as he tone changed from friendly to serious. "Mom is giving me a stern look I have to go, we are the hospital hurry." he dropped the call after saying that. I looked at my cellphone in confusion and panick now setting inside now that things seem serious. 'Hospital? What the hell are they doing there?' I murmured to myself as I hurried to my car and drove to the hospital.

I arrived and Mom was pacing up and down while Tyson and Taylor were seating on the bench, I walked straight to them confused. "Someone balance me here really quick, what the hell are we doing here?" I asked as I walked closer to them, Mom looked at me with this annoyed look on his face. She looked at like she wanted to strangle me, I looked at her and diverted my gaze back to my siblings who weren't giving me a 'I wish you would die' look on their faces. "We are here because Dad is not okay, Autumn found him on the floor in our house blee-" Tyson stopped mid-sentenced as we all watched Mom race to my direction in anger. I immediately ran towards Tyson, he also stood up and put his hands up so Mom and her long arms couldn't reach me.

"I swear to God, April. If you don't grow up in this second and act like a matured woman, I swear I am going break your throat." She said running her slender index finger against her throat signaling my death. I shrugged my shoulders feeling guilty and annoyed, I just don't understand why they had to drag me here when I clearly wanted nothing to do with thing. "If you had just left me or even better if you had listened to me about Autumn maybe we wouldn't be here right now." Mom walked away with a more fustrated look on her face. " Seriously, April?" Tyson immediately turned to look at me as he threw he's hands in frustration, I shrugged my shoulders trying to show a geniun confused look. "What?" he looked at for a second probably trying to get in my head, good luck brother.

"I just defended you against her, why are doing this? You don't even lack attention or love, we are always around you showering you with love. The same people who are always present for you are here today, just try to be here for your father." He said as he pointed his finger in my chest and walked after Mom, I sighed at took a seat next to Taylor who was quitely looking at us the whole time without saying a thing. Seating and not saying anything while people, your family fight is a skill, that she needs to teach me. "What's wrong with Dad?" I asked and turned to look at her. "Dad's gunshot wound resurfaced, yeah when he got shot in his home by his own child." I looked at her more confused. "No, Taylor that can't be possible. That wound healed a few weeks back and Dad was fine." I said trying to make sense of the whole thing. "Mom says its his superpowers they are failing him, well she thinks he's dying. Apparently when its your time to die and you have a healing ability, wounds that were recently healed come back, I don't know if i'm any making sense."

"This man has a problem with his superpowers and the three of you decided to take him to a public hospital?" I stood and paced in stress. "He's in a private floor, being treate by an old friend, apparently." I nodded while trying to make sense of the whole thing. I stopped in my tracks as it suddenly hit, Dad's super powers are not failing him. They said Autumn find him laying in a pool of his own blood and she's not here. He's not dying, the bitch shot him but why did she call us? What made her change her mind?
