I used my index finger to clean all that I could clean of my ear without a cotton swab. Did I hear that correctly? I pondered. Then I continued to listen carefully and my eyes were now fixated on my dad and this unfamiliar woman. I was trying hard to hold in my anger but in reality I just wanted to scream my lungs out. I saw that my dad and this woman looked around to see if anyone had heard them or seen them but the neighbourhood was dead silent. No cars. No people. Besides me of course. Then I noticed my dad slowly leaning in towards the woman. He put his hands on her waist, cupped her cheek and a whisper came my way "I love you." and he then gave her a kiss. A kiss that wasn't just a forced kiss, it wasn't the one that people who don't feel anything would share. It was a deeply passionate kiss.

Like the one that Jake and Rose from titanic shared. Now I was completely destroyed. I tried to side my frustration quickly and looked at my phone and saw that my apps had downloaded. At the attempt to lessen my anger tears came streaming down my face. I opened the camera and now my tears dropped from my chin onto the screen of my phone. I wiped them away and focused the camera towards my dads make out session. I knew that my mother wasn't going to believe this; hell I couldn't believe this myself. I knew I needed instant prove. I used the zoom in feature on my camera and took a few photos of this tragedy. My first instinct was to tell Joanna, I searched my contacts and was about to text her. My dad was starting to leave and it startled me so I rushed myself and deleted the contact.

HELL NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

I went on the app "TextPlus" that I recently installed and added my information to start up my account and typed in what I memorized of Joanna's number:

789- 872-727 I think it was?

Whatever I was so vulnerable at this point I just wanted to talk to someone.

I typed in "Joanna. My dad is cheating on my mom." And attached the best photo I took.

While it was sending the message I turned my attention to my dad and I had this furious glare on my face.

I can't believe my dad would to this to my mom. To me. To my brother. To his kids. On the day that I was conceived. What the hell is wrong with him.

I looked to see what they were doing now and I heard a sound that didn't sound like my dad's voice "Stay with me tonight. We'll make love all night long" and when I heard that I just completely lost it. I kicked the garbage as far and as hard as I can and started running back home without even looking at their reaction.

I started running as if I was running a marathon with occasional tears streaming down my face wondering how I was going to break the news to my family, if I should even?

I reached my house and knocked on the door since I hadn't brought my keys.

One knock. No one answered.

Two knocks. No one answered.

On the third one I shouted and screamed "Please open up"

The door finally opened and I was relieved.

My brother opened the door and saw me crying "what the hell happened to you?" He said.

I can't tell him. I just noticed that I had no excuse for crying. So, I made up the most cliche excuse ever.

"Uh, uhhm I fell down and it just hurts a lot"

"Oh. Well do you want me to call mom?"

"No no please don't."

I ran up to my room and plummeted on my bed and stuffed my tear-filled face into my pillow. As if nothing in the world mattered anymore. Reminiscing everything that I just saw going down.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I was so relieved urgently hoping it was Joanna so she could tell me what I was supposed to do in this situation.

I read the text:

• Hai that's horrible news. Tell me more sweetcheecks ;) •

What? This is no way in hell Joanna. Did I send a message to the wrong person. I felt as if I was going to have a panic attack.

I typed: • [Who is this?] •

•[Gamerboy889]•

Oh my gosh.
