BxB Cashby Healed My Heart (Completed)

Chapter 11

"Dad?!" I repeated and looked at the man in front of me.

In my drunken state I could tell he was tall but not as tall as Austin. His black hair was flecked grey and he was lean like Austin but other than that, they didn't resemble each other in the slightest.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Austin's voice was like ice.

It shocked me slightly to hear him be so cold because I was so used to sweet and caring Austin. It also surprised me because I'd heard Austin say at his mother's grave that he tried to reconcile with his father but he wasn't ready to take the first step. I didn't expect him to shut down on his dad so quickly.

"I-I came to see you..." his dad replied.

"Well you're not welcome here," Austin replied. I looked up to see that he was clenching his jaw. I took his hand in mine and tried to calm him down but I could still feel the anger radiate his body.

His dad sighed, "From what I've heard...either are you."

"You son of a bitch!" Austin yelled and lunged for his dad but I kept a tight hold of his hand. Austin was really strong and could have easily overpowered me but for some reason, he let me hold him back.

"Whose fault is that, huh?" Austin yelled, "Whose fault is it that I'm not welcome here?!"

"Austin..." I whispered, "Ssh...it's okay."

"No, it's not o-fucking-kay!" He dropped my hand and I was shocked. I'd never seen him so angry and honestly...it was a little scary.

"Austin...I know that it's my fault," His dad took a step towards his son, "That's why I want to-."

"Apologize?" Austin scoffed, "It's too late for that!"

His dad flinched, "I know-."

"No, you don't know!" Austin growled, "You have no idea what I've been through!"

"I think I have some idea-," he started. Oops...that was not the right thing to say.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Austin shouted.

I flinched next to him. I was shaking slightly but I don't know if it was from the alcohol or from Austin. He was practically radiating heat and I wanted to calm him down but I didn't know how. I was too scared to try and do anything but just stand there and even that was a struggle because my head was pounding.

Mind, I knew that his dad was not helping. He was saying all of the wrong things and acting like Austin was overreacting. I didn't even know if Austin was overreacting or not because I still didn't know what his dad had done. It must have been bad for him to react like this. What did he do?

"Son...I know you're upset-," His dad held his hands up.

"Upset?" Austin repeated, "No...I was upset when mom died and you completely shut me out. I was upset then. But now...I'm furious!"

I saw the sadness on his dad's face at the mention of Austin's mother.

"I visited her yesterday..." His dad admitted, "I saw the flowers. She would be happy that you still care."

Ooh, wrong thing to say. I knew that as soon as he said it so I grabbed Austin's hand again.

"Still care?! She was my mom!" Austin shouted, "Of course I still care! She was the greatest person in my life! You should be the one in the fucking ground, not her!"

"Austin!" I said in shock. I can't believe he would say that.

"No, Alan!" He turned to me, "You have no idea about the shit that he has put me through!"
