I couldn't ignore him. The fact that he's here without me telling him about my plans means he knew something's going on and he didn't tell me about it.

No matter how I hate him, I still care because he's my flesh and blood,

"To where?"

"To your father."

I looked away for a second and shook my head before looking at him again, "How did you know that I want to see my father? You said he's on vacation."

"I lied, Kelly."

I was shocked by his own confession. He lied? He lied to me about my father. Why?

"I don't understand why you had to lie, Klay. But I'm telling you now, I will never forgive you if something happens to my father."

"He doesn't want me to tell you, Kelly. I don't have a choice."
