章 42: Chapter Forty Two.

I wake up the next morning with a hollow feeling inside my stomach. The sky outside is grey and murky despite it being the morning. My thoughts immediately turn towards Brody and I sigh, sitting up in bed.

A soft knock on my bedroom door fills the silence around me —

"Come in," I say, my voice heavy with sleep. The door opens and to my surprise, Dad pops his head around.

"Hi honey, can I come in?" He says softly, his eyes filled with sympathy. I nod, giving him a small smile.

"Sure Dad."

He walks inside, his eyes scanning over my room. He probably hasn't seen it for the past half year but I ignore the disappointment in my stomach. He's always busy Bella, go easy on him. The truth is, it's hard not having either of my parents take much of an interest in me. I can't remember the last time I saw my mother and my father wasn't even up to date with my bedroom. He's hardly home and speaks to Jedd to find out what's going on in my life.
