What's this?! Dad what are you doing! Stop! I tried to yell but he would not hear me. Not over the sound of breaking glasses and furniture.
"I hate this!" He yelled. ""Ugh!" He groaned and pushed over a chair. "I hate myself!" He flipped over the table. "I hate this world!" He broke a glass. "Why didn't he just take me?! Why didn't he just take me instead?!"
What was he talking about? Why was he crying? And breaking all our furniture? Who did God take? I had so many questions, but I was scared a bottle no would hit me.
"Dad!" I yelled for him to see that I've been there all this while. He froze as he saw me, his eyes held different expressions, I didn't know which to take in.
He was dreadfully intoxicated.
~ Alex took in his actions for a while. Why couldn't he just leave and forget about this family forever? He'd ask himself that question and still had no answer for it.
He was simply drawn to them, and maybe, living without them was like hell which he did not like.
"Ciara." He called. She was little before him, just as he remembered her years ago. She still had the same eyes, her hair had become more beautiful, and she never outgrew her love for fashion. That explains her extra powdered face.
She turned and he recognized her immediate disgust as she saw him.
"Bartel what do you want?" She asked aggressively.
"Um....I was just...hoping-"
"Hoping what? That I would forgive you?" She was quick to know his intentions. "There's nothing to forgive Bartel." Rudely she spoke to him before her friends.
He didn't think about the consequences of approaching a short tempered girl who hates him before her friends.
He was clearly being humiliated, even though her friend looked like they already found something interesting in him and clearly didn't deserve it.
"Ciara...wait." He tried to hold her but his cheeks grew hot red for a second before he certified what she had done. He held in his anger.
"You...killed my brother. He heard her aggression grow as she spoke and tears filled her eyes. "That slap was nothing compared to what I'd want to do to you Bartel. You and your underserving parents."
She said with clinched teeth. Knowing Alex was not the kind that ever tolerated such From anybody she was glad she caused him pain. It could not be compared to the pain of her brothers death but it was worth it.
She had to leave before she cried before him. He had always seen her cry and she didn't want that. She used to be the person he defended with all he had but now this was how she would repay him for all he's done for her over the years.
Alex left, trying to ignore the flirty, yet sympathetic stares he got from her friends but he only forced out a smile and they flushed with warmth.
He did have a charming smile.
~ "Dad..." I had to ran into his arms, hoping my embrace could make him stop this mess he was making. I didn't like it.
I felt cold liquid rundown my shirt when I pulled away. He was drinking, I looked at him like I could get my answer through his eyes but I only saw sorrow.
His eyes had turn read and dried up tear marks ran down his weak cheeks. He didn't look familiar to me, this wasn't my dad, he never did this to himself.
"Ciara..." fresh tears ran down his cheeks. He cupped my face while I stared at him in oblivion. I had so many questions, too many...
"I'm..I'm sorry.." he sobbed this time. His head fell with defeat but his hands still remained on my face. What did he do? Why was he drinking? Was he talking about the divorce? Or mum?
"Dad? What's wrong? Dad." I fought my tears back and shook him to speak. He was very he drunk and couldn't hold his stamina much longer.
"I...I killed your mother." He said once he coiled with the ground.
