Forbidden Love ( Chapter 17) 3rd August 8:52 am The next morning, I heard a lot of shouting from downstairs. I put on my dressing gown and stumbled down the stairs, bleary-eyed and half asleep. When I walked into the kitchen Mum and Dad were yelling at each other.They were too busy arguing to notice me stood in the doorway. " If you keep on coming up with lame excuses for Holly then you'll be sorry!" Dad threatened. Then I jumped into the scene. " Don't you threaten my mother like that! You have no right to be my father!!!!!" I screamed. There was an awkward silence in the room. I could see the tears building up in mum's eyes. Dad's expression on his face eased and then mum went hurtling up the stairs in floods of tears. " Now you've done it!" I said, unsympathetically. I ran up the stairs and walked into mum and dad's room to find mum sat up on the bed clutching what was a letter. She patted the bed - space next to her. She cleared her throat. I was getting nervous. Usually talks on the bed meant something bad had happened, particularly as mum was crying. " I never told you this but..." Uh oh this was bad!! That was the dreaded line she used when she didn't tell me something and that I was never going to forgive her for it!!! " Your father isn't your real father. If that makes sense." she sniffed. I was confused. Shorly mum would've told me that ages ago! I could feel my cheeks going red with anger. " WHAT?!" I stared at her in disbelief. " Your real father.. Well he died when you were a tiny baby. We don't know why but..." She trailed off. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach a multiple of times. I felt sick. My eyes became bleary and I fell to the ground. I could hear the sound of mums voice but shortly after I fell, everything went black....
