The Girl of My Dreams

Chapter 11

I had just gotten off work and was about to head home to see my beautiful wife. Then i got a call that changed my life completely. It was my mom on the phone she sounded as if she knew what she was going to say would kill me. She spoke slowly "Andy i just got off the phone with your step mom, your dad has been doing drugs again, he overdosed sweetheart." I hung up quickly wanting to pretend what i heard wasn't true i pulled in the driveway to mine and Kat's home and i just sat in the car. A tear rolled down my cheek as kat came out to see what was going on. She could tell i had been crying my eyes were red and puffy she opened the door and sat in my lap. "Baby what's wrong?" I shook my head not wanting to answer her because then it will have been true. She wiped my tears away but they just kept flowing. I know he wasn't my real dad and he wasn't the best dad but he was still mine or was mine. I kissed her slowly tears still running down my cheeks as i took a deep breath. "My dad overdosed." I said everything becoming very real as i turned off the car and me and kat went in. I went to the bed and just layed there no longer crying but breathing very slowly.  I just layed there kat came in and cuddled up to me trying to cheer me up but i didn't even hold her, didn't look at her, just layed there staring at the ceiling. I wanted to die, but i couldn't i just couldn't. Moments later my phone rang kat answered it because i didn't want to. She came back over to me "the funeral is monday at noon, your dad left in his will that je wanted you ,your uncle, your brother, and your cousin to be paul barrers." I looked at her and nodded then got up and o sucked for weeks even after the funeral. It killed me to pack my father's casket. I did it for him and only for him, because i wouldn't have if he wasn't the one who asked.
