RECAP: I hear Dave calling me but I don't answer. After a while he goes and I sigh turning around to see five pair of eyes staring at me inquisitively and I groan.

****

"Yonna, are you okay" Ella asks as she stands up to meet me.

My back is on the door and I'm breathing heavily because of how fast I just ran.

"I kissed him, like I initiated it," I say with the words breaking as they come out from my mouth.

"Oh my God, tell us everything" Suzy jumps excited. 

I tell them every detail of the night and they all listen attentively. Once I'm done they all awe and hug me. Even Jenna does, She's a very nice person and it's nice having her around. I even went deeper in the story because of her, telling her the story of Beatrice and I .

"You need to make up your mind Yon. Do you want him or do you not," Ella says when its just the two of us in our room.

The lights are off and we're both lying on our beds when she spoke. I sigh and drift off to sleep in deep thoughts. What do I want.

***
I manage to avoid Dave for the rest of the trip with the help of the girls. They covered for me any time he asked about me and they signified  to me when he was near.

"This trip was amazing," I say to Jenna as we walk through the arrival lounge of the airport and she nods agreeing with me.

"I need to use the rest room" she says and I motion her away with my hands.

"Fi" I hear Dave call and I turn around to face him.

It's too late to run now so I just stand looking like a lost puppy,

"you've been avoiding me. Again" he says slightly irritated and I pout.

"Need to go mum's around" I say and without waiting for a response I turn around and leave. 

He doesn't stop me and I'm surprised.

***

My mum drives into the garage and I hop out of the car. I see my dad's car in front of the house and I look at her quizzically.

"What's going on" I ask and she shrugs.

"He wanted to hang out with you guys",

"Uh, really mum", I say and drag my bags inside the house.

I see my  dad sitting in the parlor with Dan and I roll my eyes. They're talking about some sport stuff. My dad raises his head and sees me,

"Oh hi Fiona, didn't hear you come in," he smiles.

I just ignore him and drag my box upstairs. I really don't have time for him. I drop my box on my bed and start to arrange my cloth. I'm half way done when I hear a knock on my door, I turn around just in time to see my mum peep in.

"Yon, there's cookies down stairs. Just tried out this recipe I'm sure you'll love," she says and comes into my room, "ooh, you're arranging your box immediately you're back from a trip. You really do not want to see your dad" my mum says chuckling.

I roll my eyes at the fact that I've been caught. Honestly I was arranging my box  to while away time before I have to go back down and see my dad's face.

"He's really sorry Yon. And that's coming from me" she says chuckling bitterly and I sigh and sit on my bed.

" Let's go down" I say putting the last of my cloth in the wardrobe.

Once I'm downstairs, I go straight into the kitchen and start to devour the cookies my mum made.

"Oh my God mum, these are amazing. I need to take some for the girls tomorrow" I say with my mouth full.

My dad clears his throat and I look back to see him. I thought it was my mum that was standing at the door all the while.

"Hey" I say looking away.

Walking to the fridge I grab a juice box and start to drink.

"Fiona, I know I say this a lot but I really am sorry for all I've done to you" he says. 

"why", I hear someone else say only to realize the word came out from my mouth.

Suddenly, the weight of my anger weakens me and I get tired.

"Why did you leave us. Was it because of me" I ask, my voice shaking.

"Oh my Fiona, You know I'd never do such a thing to you. I know I don't have a good reason to have ever left you guys. I acted really stupid and immature. I though I fell out of love for your mother and I made mistakes I regret every single day. I know I can't take back all what I've done but I really hope you, Dan and your mum can find it in your hearts to forgive me" he says looking at his feet.

I collapse on a chair and breathe deeply. All this while I kept on blaming myself, all this while I felt like I owed my mum and brother for bringing them pain. But it wasn't my  fault. It was my dad's selfish plan. I look up to see him and I see the wrinkles on his forehead. I have the urge to touch them and try to straighten them out. He regrets it. He regrets what he did. 

"Another chance' I say to him and walk away.

I get to my room and fall on my bed. I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off me. All this while I had ignored my Dad broke me. I feel relieved to know that it wasn't my fault he left. I feel relieved that he regrets what he's done and it eats him up. I feel so relieved I have decided to give him another chance.

I sigh, a deep sigh of relief and I sleep off.
