First Love

Chapter 10: It Better Not Be You

A jolt of energy runs through my veins. I'm not sure if it's anger or confusion. I haven't seen my father in years, not since his arrest. My mother thought it was best if I didn't have any associations with a criminal. I've gotten use to his absence and moved on. I've never missed him during my birthday parties nor father's day. I was happy that he was in jail far away from me.

As I get out of Brads car, my mother nor my father see me approach them. As I get closer, it's clear to me that I'm not confused, but angry. I ball up my hand into a fist. When I'm in close range to my father I aim at his face. Everyone freezes at their position.

Blood pours out of my father's nose, and surprise punched him harder.

"Mia... I can explain everything to you. Just give your dad a chance."

"What the fuck is their to explain ,dad. Or can I even say that or call you that."

I look at my mother and see that shes calm about everything. Brad comes out of my house which I cant recall him doing. He gives my dad a bag of frozen peas.

"Mom, how in heaven name can you be standing their talking to him. When you were the one that told me not to. "

" I can learn to forgive. "

" Now that's total bullshit and you know it. You made me hate him and know you can just forgive him. I'm getting the hell away from both of you."

I didn't know what I just said. All I did was grab Brad's arm and ran to his car.

"Brad turn the car on and go."

"But Mia...."

"I said GO. Please"

Brad turns the car on and races down the street. I look out the window and watch my parents outside. I can't cry and I won't especially not for those 2 pile of shits. I look at the shining sun in hope for the power of the light to burn my tears.
