Daddy.
One night, he turned around, thinking everything would work out.
He then said.. “I don’t love you, I haven’t loved you since our daughter was born.”
My mother’s delicate little heart, sank to the bottom of the world. She couldn’t think of words to say..
So she sat there in dead silence, slowing falling into a deep sleep…
Kayla then had woke up from her weird nightmare..
She did a quick look at the clock to see what time it was. The big red ****** alarm clock said it was 5:50 A.M.
She did her tiny little daily run, which was downstairs to brush her teeth and do what she had to do before school, but this morning..
She heard someone speaking in the living room, so she slowly walked into the living room to see a man sitting in a spinny chair playing the game, “GTA 5.”
It was her father.
He then heard her and turned around and sighed desperately. “Sit down.”
He said pointing to the couch.
Kayla, then did as she was told and sat down in the green fluffy chair.
“What’s this about?” She asked kinda scared. “Well, I need to tell you something.. I just have no idea how to say it.” He sighed harder than he had before.
Kayla then sat there thinking things that should’ve made her head explode, but she was hoping he wasn’t gonna say the one thing in her head that kept dominating all the rest of her thoughts.
“Mom and I.. We um uhh, Aren’t going to be together anymore..”
He said slowly looking at me. Kayla could’ve sworn needles were going into her neck, she even had to feel to make sure there wasn’t any there. I sat there in a moment of silence.
“W-Why?” I asked in both anger and tears, as I fought my tears to stay back. I was still curious as to how many sharp needles would be pushed into my heart and soul now. He looked at me as I kept looking down, trying to avoid eye-contact.
“Some people just.. Fall out of love.. There is no explanation.. It just happens. I mean I did.” He said, I just couldn’t resist the urge of seeing the expression on his face. So instantly I looked up shocked.. He had no expression.. I saw no frown, not one single tear! Anger emerged within me. Sadly I couldn’t resist to keep it in anymore..
“Who’s fault was it? Mine? Mom’s? Malichi’s?” I asked with the urge of anger as it kept rising. “It was no ones fault. No one to blame but me.” He gave a half smile and crawled up next to me on the fluffy couch. “Look, I promise, we’ll go camping, fishing… Nothing’s changed.” He whispered.
Anger eventually took over my body and I pushed him away from me. “Nothing?! Nothing at all?! You just told me, that you an mom are divorcing after SEVENTEEN YEARS! And nothing’s changed!?” I scream standing up. “The only thing that has changed in this family, is you!” I yell as the tears come uncontrollably. He then tries to touch me and I yell. “Don’t touch me!”
He stands there, shocked at the words I just said with nothing but a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes and went straight for him, ramming him in his gut, crying the tears I shouldn’t of held in. “YOU ARE CHOOSING FOR MOM, MALICHI, AND I. And i’m not okay with that!” I scream at him as he lies on the ground.
“I can’t take it anymore!” I cry. I then run for the stairs and slams my door shut locking it running into his room locking it as well, and tears apart his guitar stuff.. His AMP.. His peddle.. Last but not least his GUITAR. I then laugh through the tears. “One of the only things you loved more than me..” I take it and sit on his bed in despair while my mother walks in and looks at me and I stand and run to her crying in both pain and hurt.
“It’s okay babe, calm down.” Mom says calmly to me as I cry in her shoulders. I couldn’t bare to feel anymore feelings.. They hurt me more than I thought.. My dad is in his spinny chair, playing GTA 5 again as I walked past him grabbing my phone an backpack. He didn’t even look at me, not a glance.. Not one movement.. I walked out the front door.
I then started walking to school, well walking to my friends house.. Then to school..
As soon as I saw her.. She hugged me as my heart kept breaking intensely, and this time.. It hit me hard..

To Be Continued.
