But Daddy (English)
DRABBLE
KISS THE MUSE
LILEY
Number. 02
"Dad, I'm in love with someone...”, Miley was more than nervous and she didn't know if she was doing the right thing by telling her father. But Lilly had asked her to... So she did it. She couldn't lie to him anymore. It was getting to be too much.
“Really? That's great, honey. Who is he? Who do I have to shoot?”, he grinned at her and she tried to smile back, but failed miserably. She sighed, then sat back down on the couch next to her father.
“Uhm, that's the point, daddy... You know them already.”, little did he know who it was and that he probably really would have to shoot the person this time. She was scared for his reaction.
“So? Tell me.”, he was smiling at her. Surely expecting her getting back together with the quarterback of the football team Jake Ryan or falling in love with the head of the soccer team. But certainly not the female one. She always had it for athletes.
“Please, promise me you won't get mad, okay?”, she didn't want her father mad at her. She just wanted to be happy. With her girlfriend. Her father looked at her, perplexed.
“Honey, I won't get mad at you. Now, tell me his name. I hope he's tall and handsome. But it'd be okay if he was a little smaller. Someone nice. That's important. A guy who treats you right. A guy who can make you hap-”
“Daddy, I'm in love with Lilly. We're together. We're a couple. Please don't hate me.”, she just had to interrupt her father. She couldn't stand to listen to him any longer, describing her perfect never-to-happen boyfriend.
His face was expressionless.
“Miley Ray Stewart, what did you just say?”, he was extremely angry, Miley could sense it and she shied a little away from him, making herself look smaller. His voice boomed in her ears and she felt like crying. She had known how her father would react to the news, but she hadn't wanted to believe it.
“I'm... I'm in love with Lilly, dad. I love her.”, Lilly had been there for her after the Jake-incident and she had been there to put the pieces back together. Lilly always had her heart.
Robbie Ray's face was one of absolute disgust.
“I can not believe you! A daughter of mine will not commit to a sin like this! I do not deserve something like you in my family! You will end this... this thing you call a relationship right now!”, he stood, pulling out his cellphone and throwing it in her direction. “Call her. Now!”
Miley stared at him.
“Dad, I will not break up with Lilly. I love her.”, she didn't even remotely touch the phone. She stood up herself, slowly backing away from him. “Why can't you be more understanding? Why can't you be like Lilly's mother? I thought you loved me!”
“How can I love you if you... you act this abnormal! Miley Ray Stewart, I want you to get rid of this girl right now! I will not tolerate this. It's either her or me! Choose!”, Miley's eyes watered at this. She couldn't understand how her own father could be so cruel.
“But... But Daddy...”
“Choose!”
Miley sniffed, wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her sweatshirt and shook her head. “I can't believe you.”, she pushed him out of the way as she ran towards the door, not caring about his screaming and how he never wanted to see her again.
She was 18 now, she had to make it herself. She just wanted to be happy.
However, she wasn't prepared for what greeted her outside.
Lilly Truscott was standing there, looking up at Miley. Looking torn and sad. But Miley was never more glad to see her beautiful face. She skipped down the front porch and jumped into the waiting arms of her loving girlfriend. Her rock, her refuge, her safe harbor.
“God, I love you so much, Miley. Don't cry. It's going to be okay.”, Lilly kissed her temple, making her feel more comfortable than she had in years. Lilly was everything she needed to be happy. She would miss her father, but he couldn't replace Lilly in her life.
And she knew that she had made the right decision.
That she chose the right person.
