after karate i went back home and as i walked into the door my phone had gotten a notification. i dropped my bag onto the floor as i turned my phone on. i looked and it was a message..from my dad? i hadn't talked to him in forever, i think it's been about ten months since we last talked. i looked at the message..

dad: hi lucia how are you doing?

i started to feel sick to my stomach as i stared at the text. i immediatly called my mom even though i knew she was at work. luckily she answered, "yes lucia?" she said. i took a second to think, i knew my mom would get upset if i told her he texted me so i changed my mind on telling her. "lucia?" she said since i wasn't talking. "uh never mind i forgot." i said. "oh okay, see you?" she said. "bye." i said before i quickly hung up. 

i went into my room and jumped onto my bed, stuffing my face into the pillow as i started to cry.
