'2 days after the party. The guys and Mia are over at Iris's house, like typical.'

I was in my room, finishing yet another k-drama.

'Phone starts vibrating. 'Dad♡' it read.'

"Hey, dad!" I cheerfully answered.

"Iris." He replied, sounding serious. "Uhh... Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"I know what happened at the party, why you left so early."

"Oh.. dad, it's okay. I'm fi-" I started to say before he interrupted.

"How could you?" He raised his voice.

"What?" I said, confused.

"No, don't try and act innocent, Iris." He answered, "Karla told me what you said to her, how you brought up Rose."

"Wait, no. You don't unde-"

"I don't know why you hate her so much, but she is my wife," he yelled.

"And I'm your daughter!" I yelled back.

"You don't get to turn this into a wife versus daughter scenario! Karla has been nothing but kind to you. I don't know why you hate her so much, but, whether you like it or not, Rose is gone and I love Karla now. You're going to have to accept that. You will call her and apologize for what you said, and you damn better well mean it."

"If I don't?" I asked. I didn't even try to defend myself at this point, because whether he would have even listened or not depended on what he said next.

"You'll no longer be my daughter." He hung up.

I just sat there. I'm guessing I was in shock because I didn't truly feel anything until I sat there for a couple of minutes. How you brought up Rose. Nothing but kind to you. Rose is gone. You'll no longer be my daughter.

What just happened? I asked myself. Did I just imagine that conversation? Am I going crazy?

"Iris! Come on out and eat, we ordered chicken!" Mia barged into my room.

I looked at her, "Yeah, I'll be out in a sec."

"Kay, you better hurry though cuz Jin's gonna eat everything."

You'll no longer be my daughter. I've never heard him so angry before. What did Karla say to him? And he believed her. He believed I would say something so horrible to her, that I would bring up mom around her.

You'll no longer be my daughter. The more I thought about the phone call was like the more an imaginary gateway was opening and suddenly I felt everything. My head was pounding, my heart was beating, so loud I could barely hear my thoughts. Except even they were loud, everything was too loud, too much, it was like I was being suffocated. I physically struggled to breathe.

Today was supposed to be happy, I was supposed to go out with my dad today, on his actual birthday. But instead, 'You'll no longer be my daughter'. I pinched and scratched my skin, wake up! I wished it was a dream, so I could just wake up and forget all about it. But I knew what just happened was complete reality.

I laid back because I felt tears forming. He would disown me if I didn't apologize? No way, not my dad, not my hero, I thought. My eyes blurred and I blinked to clear them, the tears ran down my cheeks.

Whether you like it or not, your mother is gone. How could he just say that, like he didn't care? I felt angry all of a sudden. What did Karla even tell him? Why? She fucking poisoned his mind, making him believe the bullshit that she's feeding him. Would he even believe me if I tried to defend myself? No matter what I say, he'll just believe her. Did he even ask if it was true?
