ESTELLE'S POV:

It's been two weeks since I've moved to California, it's been two weeks since I've talked to Atticus, it's been two weeks since I threw that book at that rude stranger.

I don't regret it though he deserved it, hopefully, it'll knock some respect into him, These past two weeks I've been getting my room together, I've done so much work, meaning I got Xena to put everything together for me.

I decided to call my dad so I could talk to Atticus, I'm doubting that he'll answer, but After about 3 rings he finally picks up.

"Hello," he said, his voice coming out hoarse.
That doesn't sound good at all.

"Hey Papá, are you okay? You sound tired." I asked him softly trying to figure out what was wrong

"I'm fine, what do you want," he said dryly, not leaving room for me to make any Conversation.

Maybe I should throw a book at him next.

"I wanted to talk to Atticus, it's been a while and I miss-" I was cut off by his loud shouting.

"Atticus ven aquí Ahora"
(Atticus come down here, now.)

He shouted from I'm guessing the living room, he's probably in his recliner chair, he always use to sit in, He clearly has no life if he still sits in it.

I click the facetime icon, papá's face pops up on the screen when he clicks accept, he looks out of it, he's eyes are bloodshot red and he has dark circles under his eyes.

I frown my eyebrows looking at how bad he looks.

"Papá are you sure your okay? Maybe you should go to the doctor, you don't look so well." I Suggest.

"I said I'm fine Estela" he replied, slightly raising his voice.

"Atticus, tu Hermana está al teléfono para hablar Contigo, pon tu Culo lloriqueado aquí Abajo" he shouted again.
(Atticus your sister is on the phone to talk to you, get your whining ass down here)

This time I hear the floors creak and feet moving fast, after I'd say 8 seconds the feet stop and I hear my baby brother's voice.

"Estela, Te he echado de menos," Atticus said in a sad voice, tears start to appear in his eyes as his bottom lip starts to tremble.
(Estela, I missed you,)
