Cal and Emily were sitting in the living room. Cal was watching TV and Emily was on the laptop
"Dad?"
"Yes Em?"
"Where were wewe today?"
"I told you. Something came up and i could get away"
"What was so important that wewe had to blow off spending time iwht your own daughter?"
"Look can we just leave this?"
"No. No i want to talk about it."
"We are not discussing this anymore okay? And wewe will do what wewe are told"
"Why won't wewe tell me? I mean what is so bad that wewe can't tell me?"
Cal was getting annoyed. He didn't need Emily nagging in his ear. Emily could see that he was getting angry with her but she kept at him
"Em look just LEAVE it"
"Dad i want to know. I was worried about wewe and i didn't know where wewe were. Please tell me."
"Look i am a big boy okay i can look after myself without a baby sitter wanting to know where i am twenty four seven so just leave me alone"
Cal went into his bedroom. Emily followed and tried to open the door but she couldn't it was locked
"Dad? Dad? Open the door"
"Go away Em!"
"Dad what's wrong?"
"Nothing just go away please"
"Dad let me in"
"NO GO AWAY!!!"
She didn't know what to do so she ran off to her room and began to cry into her pillow. Cal had never shouted at her like that before. She stopped crying and tried to tunga herself. She picked up her phone and called Gillian. After a few dakika there was a knock at the door and she answered it. It was Gillain. She let her in and they went to her room to have a talk about what happened
"I'm sure he didn't mean it"
"You didn't hear the way he spoke to me."
"He must just be under alot of pressure"
"He's been under pressure before and he has NEVER shouted at me like that before. I felt scared."
"Hey it will be okay."
She gave Emily a hug.Emily wrapped her arms around her so tight,Gillain could sence how scared she really was.
"Emily i'm going to go and check on your dad. I think wewe need to get some rest and i will be back soon okay?"
She nodded. She let go of Gillian and watched her walk away she then lay down on her kitanda and closed her eyes hoping that Gillian will get thorugh to her dad
"Cal? Cal open the door. Cal it's Gill open the door please. Come on Cal i know your in there. Look Emily's really scared she needs to know that wewe didn't mean to shout at her"
He still wasn't answering. Gillian had enough of this she took a clip out from her pocket and began to pick the lock on Cals door. "Why would he have a lock"?. She managed to hear the click and opened the door slowly. When she walked in she saw him lying a sleep on his bed. He had no shirt. She walked mbele to see him better and saw something red on his back. Before she could get a closer look he rolled over and began to stir. He woke up and saw her there
"Foster there is a thing called privacy and knocking"
"I tired but wewe were asleep and the door was locked"
"How did wewe get in?"
"Picked the lock. Why do wewe even have a lock on your door?"
"Remember that privacy i metioned before?"
"Well i need wewe to come and see your daughter. She got really scared when wewe started shouting at her. She has never seen wewe like this and she needs to know that wewe are sorry for what wewe did."
"Okay. Give me a dakika to put my shati on. No peaking Foster"
"Oh i wouldn't dream of..."
Before she could finish that sentence she noticed the massive patch of blood in the middle of the kitanda and she then looked at Cal and saw his back was covered in blood aswell
"Cal what happened?"
"What?"
"Look at your kitanda and look at your back"
Cal turned around to look at his kitanda and then look at his back in the mirror. Gillisn noticed he didn't look surprised. His eyebrows didn't go up and his lips never parted. Had this happened before?.
"Cal are wewe okay?"
"Yeah i'm fine"
"You back has been bleeding and wewe call that fine? Come with me"
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to go and clean your back and strip your kitanda before Emily sees we don't need her to worry any zaidi than she has too".
She took him to the bath room and had him sit on the edge of the bath while she fllied the sink with water. She took a cloth and began to clean his back
"Ow that hurts"
"Sorry. How on earth did wewe even get this amount of blood all over your back anyway?"
"Don't know i must have fallen over au something"
"Now i know wewe don't beleive that and wewe know i don't either. So are wewe going to tell me?"
"Look i really don't know. Now if wewe would like to hurry up i need to go and see my daughter."
"Sure. I'm nearly done anyway."
She finished cleaning his back and dried it with a towel. She then put some lotion on it to soothe the heat and pain. When she rub it just below his shoulders he let out a sigh of pleasure.She stopped for a dakika but then dismissed the idea and continued to help him.
"There all done"
"Thank you"
"No problem. Now put on your shati and go and see your daughter"
He put on his shati and left the bathroom. He knocked on the door and went into her room She was sleeping. He sat on the edge on the kitanda and looked at her. He remembered when she was little and just how much she has grown up. She began to stir.
"Hey love"
"Hey"
"You okay?"
"Yeah i am now"
Emily sat up and gave her dad a hug. From how tight she was hugging him he could tell that he was forgiven.
"I'm sorry Em. I didn't mean to shout at wewe its just...
"I know"
"I will NEVER shout at wewe like that again. I promise"
They kept on hugging for a while. Gillian was watching on from outside the door. She was smiling on the outside but on the inside she couldn't help but think of what she saw in Cal's bedroom and why he wasn't surprised kwa the blood. He knew what happened and he wasn't telling her. She knew something was wrong
"Dad?"
