Mom lied

When we arrived at the spa we were greeted by many staff members and was led to a back room where my mother sat peacefully in a hot tub. I walked over to her and whispered in her ear, " Are you okay?" She opened her eyes and turned towards me and spoke in a soothing voice, " I haven't felt this relaxed in years, come in and enjoy it with me." I tugged my socks and shoes off and rolled up my pant legs and hung them over the edge but never looked away from my mother. A few minutes later, the door opened and there stood my father. I glared at him as he entered the room. He walked over to my mother and asked, " Miss. Young is there anything I can get for you?" My mother shook her head with a smile and continued to relax. Then he motioned for me to follow him out of the room and I cautiously followed behind him.

We entered a big room filled with different colored lights, music by Meghan Trainer, the smell of french vanilla and bean bag seats in a circle. We sat in the bean bag seats and my father said to the prince and Mr. William, " My name is Seth and I am Angel's father. I wanted to meet here so we can talk about this competition Angel is in, " he rang a bell then continued. " I don't like it." The prince furrowed his brows trying to understand what is happening and explained, " The competition is to see who will marry me." My father leaned forward and said slowly, " I. Don't. Like. It." we all sat in silence until I asked, " Why do you care?" He looked at me with hurt in his eyes and said, " Because I am your father and I have always cared." I looked at him with disbelief and asked, " Then why did you leave us?" After taking a deep breath in he said, " I never left buttercup. I had eyes on you and your mother at all times. I just could never come home because I was dealing with some very dangerous stuff." I looked down at the fuzzy blue and purple polka dot rug under my feet wondering if anything my mother told me about my father was true.

When we finally left the spa I was sobbing and couldn't catch my breath. Everything my mother told me about my father was a lie and I have been mad at him for something he didn't do. For what seemed like an hour I was crying then I finally settled down and fell asleep. Later I woke up when the car slowly stopped and I realized that we were back at the palace and also realized that I had fallen asleep on the prince! But I was too upset to acknowledge it. Mr. Williams helped me out of the car and suggested that I should head back to bed and get some rest to calm my nerves so I did as he suggested and headed to bed.
