To catch up people that didn’t see my first video, I was telling the story of my BFF who is more like a sister to me. We shared everything and then when she started to act strange and distant at the same time my dad was acting strange and I found evidence in the family car that the two were having an affair. I didn’t know what to do.
So, after a few days of wondering what to do, I decided to follow my dad. Every day he was tell us he was going to the gym, but he was going out to a sleazy motel. Unless this place had a world class gym inside that they weren’t advertising there was no reason he was sneaking off to this motel for any reason than an affair.
Two day in a row I followed him as he made his way to the quote unquote gym. Each time he checked into the motel, stayed for a few hours and then left. I could never make out if there was anyone with him, but I tried to ring my BFF each time Dad went into the motel and both times she didn’t answer her phone.
There was only one thing left to do, I had to confront my friend. When I finally got her on the phone, I asked her where she had been, and she gave me a super vague story about being with her new boyfriend. This was really starting to annoy me now. Here she was telling me that she’s been sleeping with my Dad and giving me the run around. I asked her if we could meet up, but she told me we could hang tomorrow because she was with her boyfriend right now.
Right! This was it! I was going to catch her in the act. I raced over to her house and waited outside to see if I could see my Dad’s car. I guess they are getting braver about their affair now that they think they can be at her house. I saw my BFF walk past the window, so I knew she was there. I wonder if she forgot that she gave me a key.
I waited until I didn’t see her in the window, and I went to the front door. I really didn’t want to catch them in the act so I knocked loud three times before unlocking and throwing open the door and inside was my BFF with a shocked look on her face and her new boyfriend…..which wasn’t my father. It was a guy from school that I used to have a crush on. I started to laugh immediately, but my BFF and her BF didn’t see the joke.
I shook my head and we all sat down, and I told her the whole story. They saw the joke then. “As if I would do that to you!” She said to me. Turns out she was scared to tell me about her new boyfriend because I had a crush on him. “A million years ago” I told her. He looked a little hurt by this, I smiled, “It’s not you, you’re cool.” He seemed happy with that. He is a really nice guy, but he’s into a lot of sports and such, not really my scene but right up hers so I’m happy for them. Now, they can stop hiding and we can hang again. My friend was so relieved. There was still the nagging feeling though. What was my father doing in that motel?
Later that day, I had a moment to talk to my mother about the situation. She also thought it was funny. “Your Dad’s just going to the gym, sweetie, nothing more. Trust me I would know if your dad was having an affair.” She seemed so sure, but I wasn’t. The blond hair I found in the back of the car, the other iPhone. Something was going on.
I knew that mom was going to tell Dad what I had told her, so if I was going to catch him, it had to be today. He was at the gym in the afternoon before coming home so I grabbed my BFF so we could do some Nacy Drewing.
We got to the motel and saw my Dad’s car. I went to the front desk and asked for the owner of my Dad’s car as I pretended, I scratched it with my car. The front desk didn’t seem to care but gave me the room number. We raced to the room. I didn’t know what to do but my BFF did. I think she was enjoying this.
When we got to his door, she didn’t hesitate and banged on it screaming “Fire! There’s a fire!” We heard banging and clambering in the room and when the door whipped open there was my Dad….and my BFFs mom!
We were both shocked. We didn’t know what to do. All four of us were frozen. My BFF took my hand and we ran back to my car. We were both in tears before we drove out of the parking lot.
I couldn’t see while driving with tears in my eyes so I pulled over so we could talk about what we saw. We sat in silence before she pulled out her phone. Her mother was trying to call but my BFF just ghosted her. She looked at the phone. “My mother gave me this phone saying that Dad won it in a contest. But I think you dad gave it to her and she gave it to me.”
There was silence. “What do we do now?” she asked. I didn’t know and I don’t know now. What do we do? My dad knows we know, her mother knows we know. Do we tell my mother and her father before they have the chance? Do we do nothing? How do we do anything without people getting hurt?
