Bittersweet

Eight

I stepped into my house, fully prepared to kick my no good, lying cheating dad out. The sight I saw when I entered my home is what stopped me from doing just that. My mom and dad were laughing and making jokes with two glasses of untouched red wine sitting in front of them. They both hated red wine, but having a glass in front of them made them feel classy, more grown-up. They would never admit that actually drinking the red liquid, well putting it lightly; absolutely repulsed them. I stood in place for a second in mere shock. The picture In front of me reminded me of when we were one happy family. Finally noticing my presence, my dad spoke up. "Ah, Lizzy! Please, darling. Join us" he gestures his hand towards the chair next to him. "No thanks. Danny is here, can't just abandon him." "Oh nonsense, honey. You know Danny here can join us if he would like" I want to run to my room, and forget that he is even here. Acting like he has been here talking to me everyday, but my mom is pleading with me not to argue with her puppy dog eyes. How could I say no to that? "Fine" I pull a chair out beside my dad and Danny does the same, opposite of me. "Dad, why are you here?" My question comes out harsher than I mean it to. "Well, Terra is having her baby shower next week on Monday. We would like it if you could come?"

This time I ignore my begging mother. "No, I'm not interested in playing house with you and your 20 year old girlfriend. You may have chosen to leave, but I am choosing to stay in the place I'm at. Without my dad" He widens his eyes in shock. I don't feel guilty. "Honey, I may have ended things with your mom but by no means did I end things with you; my daughter." "yah? well, what can I say. Mom and I are a package deal. You leave one and you leave the other one too" mom is now smiling, she is practically basking in his misery. "I am your father, you will come to the baby shower. I wanted to give you the choice, in hopes that you would pick the right one but that option is now gone. You are coming, you hear me young lady?" I stand up this time, backing away from him. "Ha, you're a funny man. You lost the right to boss me around when you left, without any communication for months. So get out, and stay out of my life. I have all I need, mom and Danny. You are unneeded. Bye, Charles" He cringes at my use of his name, but I ignore it and Danny and I head to my room. I hear the front door slam shut. She was angry, not with me but with my father. "wow, you okay? That was kind of intense." Danny says, concerned. "I hate him" my voice cracks at that last word, and I am in tears. Danny pulls me into a hug. His strong arms grip me, letting me know everything will be okay._________________
