Over the next few days my dad kept going to work super early and returning late. I thought he was getting lucky but when I turned on the tv, the news was on. I left it on when I went to go heat up some popcorn. Jake was coming over, i grabbed popcorn from the cupboard
"a man has been taken to hospital in a critical condition after he had a fatal car accident" the news reporter said. I put it in the microwave and sat down. "that man was identified as gary pollock" I looked at the tv. my phone rang. the thought of my dad being dead hit me hard. I grabbed my phone, it was the hospital. I picked it up.
"is this harry pollock?" someone said on the other side
"yes" I say in a hurt voice, holding back tears
"you might want to come to the hospital" I rushed to my car and jake pulled into the driveway
"MOVE, MY DADS DYING" I yell. He reversed then I left. He followed my car. My sister was already there. I walked into the room. Docotros around him, he wasn't breathing. I was frozen, numb. I didn't realise daisy hugging me, crying. I didn't notice the tear falling down my cheek and how much I was shaking at that very moment. I only had seconds to react, in those seconds my dad died. I didn't know what to do. For the next few weeks after that, i would not let anyone into my dads house. I would never leave that house either. I couldn't, I would cry and cry over and over again. one day someone opened my door, it sounded like it was being unlocked. I got up quickly, I grabbed a pillow and put it over me, I opened my door, jake was in the kitchen
"how did you get in?" I asked
"I used your sisters key, she gave them to me, also your getting evicted"
"wait what!"
"well you haven't paid for anything, and I checked your mail so, it was easy to tell, and there are zero light or electricity working, the food in the fridge Is mouldy and the water isnt working. So that was my guess."
"oh yeah"
"anyway, your packing your things to come live with me and alexander and little cory"
"aaw cory is a cute name"
"yes now get your things"
"I don't want to leave"
"your going to be forced out if you don't leave harry"
"I don't care, I don't want to go"
"look I love you but you have to leave," jake walked into my room and it sounded like he was packing clothes and other things. He walked out later with a suitcase "you wanat to bring that pillow?"
"did you get parker?"
"yes, your stuffed duck is in the suitcase"
"get him out then! He might suffocate"
"gosh, your inner child is hard to deal with"
"shut up my dad died"
"don't use that againt me"
"I can" when jake came over I suddenly felt whole again, I tried blocking him out so I was alone, but he fixed something in me
"lets go," he kissed me then walked outside, he left daisys keys on the kitchen island. I looked around at the house, I finally left when jake told me its been 20 minutes.
