Forever and Always (Chris Lanzon fanfic)

Dad?

Sorry the short chapter :/

I walked in, well stumbled in, tripping on my heels that were making my feet sore.

I saw mum sitting in the lounge room, there was someone with her, a middle aged man with his back turned to me.

"Hi I'm home!" I smile, my mother looks at me with weary eyes.

"What?" I question, furrowing my eyebrows together.

The man turns in his seat to face me. I instantly recognise who it is.

"What are you doing here?" I say, almost in a whisper.

"Sit down honey" mum tells me. I'm too tired to do anything else so I do as she tells me.

"So, we should explain" he says

"Yeah you should I'm pretty fucking confused!" I say raising my voice

"Sam. Martin is talking" mum sternly warns me

"Earlier this week, we had a court hearing about your custody and I now have full custody of you" he tells me.

I feel like the air had been sucked out of my lungs. "What!" I shout "Why didn't you tell me!"

"You had your exams and we didn't want to stress you even more so-"

"I don't get it. You haven't been here for all of my life then you come and expect to be apart of it again! You haven't done anything!" I scream

"Sam, he actually has, he has paid for child support and your school tuition, and-"

"Mum I don't care! He hasn't physically been here! I had to grow up without a father! Do you know how sick it is to leave your family!" I yell

"We are moving to Queensland in two days" he says plainly

"I'm not going fucking anywhere" I say stubbornly

"Sam, sit down and listen to your dad" mum tells me

"He's not my Dad and he never will be!" I yell before stomping upstairs.

I get changed out of my dress and into some leggings and a hoodie. I grab a bag and stuff some clothes and things I need before zipping it up and walking downstairs.

Mum and 'Martin' are still in the lounge room when I walk to the front door.

"Sam, where are you going?!" Mum asks

"I'm going to live with Chris. Have a nice life"

And with that I slam the door and start to run, I turn corners and corners, not knowing where to go next. I stopped at the beach. How did I get all the way here. I set my things down and walked towards the water.

I needed to get it all out. I was screaming at the top of my lungs till my chest felt tight but I told myself that it's never going to be all right. I sat down in a huff next to my bag, using it as a pillow. It was now 3 or 4 in the morning and I couldn't keep my eyes open.

Chris's POV

I woke up to the feeling of my mum shaking me awake.

"Five more minutes" I groan

"Up now" she says sternly

I glance at my alarm clock and see that it's 3:30 am. "What the hell mum!"

"Do you know where Sam is?" She asks

"No, I took her home after the party, why?" I ask, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes

"She stormed out of the house after her dad showed up there. Now they don't know where she is. They told me that she said she was coming here."

"Why was Sam's dad there?" I question

"He has custody of her now and they told her she was moving in to days to Queensland" she tells me

"What!" I yell in shock "Can't she just stay! She's almost eighteen!"

"Well that's a year away" she says

"I can't believe this is happening" I rub my face

I get out of beg and grab a jacket and slip some sweats on.

"Where are you going?" She asks

"I need to find her"
