*Sam's P.O.V*
What if I were to say that things have been the same since my dad shut down Miyagi-Do?
What if I were to say that I've been in my own little world and and put an almost permanent do not disturb sign near me so that people aren't bothering me in the slightest.
That means my phone and my room.
The amount of times my phone would buzz because of Eli and I simply would turn my phone off because I got tired of hearing the sound.
When I say do not disturb me, I mean it.
My parents noticed how weird I've been the past few days and had to literally drag me out of my room. They insisted that I can stay inside the house the whole summer if I wanted to. But they told me that I have to be out of my room. So in order to make them happy, I'm in the living room and sitting on the couch.
I finished eating French toast and was drinking a coffee from Starbucks. My dad got it for me because he just knows me so well.
"You'll be fine on your own, Sam?" My dad asked me as he entered the living room.
He seems to be getting ready for work because he's in his best suit.
"I'll be fine. I promise."
"I'm only asking because I'm worried about you, honey." He said, "I just want you to be alright."
I looked at him. "I'm alright."
I watched as my dad would take a look at me, not fully convinced that I'll be alright on my own. What does he think I'm going to do? I'm literally on the couch in the living room and I'll be watching a tv show or a movie.
"I know things have been tough.." he started but I stopped him.
"Things haven't been tough, dad." I said, "I would say things have been close to normal."
"If you say that then how come you're not inviting Eli over at the house?"
"Why are you asking that? Do you miss your star student?"
"I'm just saying.. he's usually here everyday."
"Sorry to disappoint you, dad." I said.
My dad sighed. "It seems like whatever I say, you'll be sarcastic either way. I guess I'll head to work now."
I watched as my dad left the door and sudden guilt piled up inside of me. I didn't need to be so harsh on him, especially when he's trying to help and be there for me. Without thinking twice, I stood up and went outside and my dad was just getting inside his car.
"Dad.." I said, "I'm sorry for how I'm acting. I should've been more grateful that you're trying to give me comfort."
He turned to face me, a mixture of surprise and relief on his face. "Thank you for saying that, Sam," he replied, his voice filled with genuine warmth. "I just want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what. And I know things haven't been easy since Miyagi-Do shut down. But remember, you're not alone in this."
I nodded, a weight lifting off my shoulders. "I appreciate that, Dad. I guess I've just been needing some time to process everything. But I promise I'll try to be more open and let you in."
He smiled, placing a hand on my shoulder. "That's all I ask, Sam. Just remember, I'm always here for you. And if you ever want to talk or need anything, don't hesitate to reach out."
"I will, Dad," I said, a genuine smile forming on my face. "Thanks for understanding."
With that, he gave me a reassuring pat on the back and headed off to work. As I watched him drive away, I felt a renewed sense of gratitude for having such a caring and supportive father. And I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I wouldn't have to face them alone.
