"Come sit at the table, baby" my mom demands.

"Why should I?" I ask her.

"This is your father" she tells me in a distinct tone.

"No" I tell her. "We will do this meet and greet thing another day, come on Elijah" I grab his arm and we storm out the door. I hop on the passengers side and just bawl out crying. Im so hurt because I feel like he betrayed me. Leaving me at a young age.

"Baby, go meet your father". Elijah tells me.

"You know what?! Shut up! You don't know shit about this situation! That man in there left my mother in the hospital when I was only a day old! I never want to meet him ever!" I shout at Elijah. Maybe, I should be getting so angry at him but can help but to blow off some steam.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry" I sob and hug him tightly.

"Promise you'll never l-leave me like that". I tell him. He lifts me up from hugging him.

"Aaron, I promise I won't leave". He says then kisses me.

"I love you" I whisper.

"I love you too". He responds. "let's wait until after school tomorrow, do you want to go back with me or stay?" He asks.

"Are you stupid?" I say smiling at him, still wiping away tears. "of course I'm going with you". I get off him and put my seatbelt on.

"Will ice cream make you feel better?" He asks me.

"Your already spoiling me" I tell him, putting my hand on his face, admiring it.

I take a big exhale. "Let's go get some ice cream" I say, feeling better already smiling. We are going to last a lifetime.
