Chapter 34 Never Again

*Abby’s Point of View*

My father the sight of him makes my blood run cold, my heart began to race and my palms began to sweat. He left us when I was eleven, he found another girl and left us in the middle of the night without so much as a goodbye, note even a note not even a text, I never received a call not one single call, he hasn’t been in contact with us for thirteen years, well guess what? I survived without that dumb man in my life, I lived to be twenty three without him, and he’s the one who chose to miss out on my life. He missed everything, my prom, homecoming, school plays, my first boyfriend and everything in between. His fault not mine he was the one who called the shots on this one, I was doing fine without him and now he’s back great what did I ever do? Does the universe hate me?

“Hello Abby,” he said calmly as if nothing had ever happened, how dare he?!

“Hello father,” I said giving him a death glare.

“Abby don’t be like that,” this is the last straw, does he actually have the audacity to tell me ‘not to be like that’? this was the absolute last straw.

“ARE YOU ACTUALLY TELLING ME TO BE CALM? ASIF NOTHING HAPPENED? WELL GUESS WHAT ‘DAD’ THINGS DID! I GREW UP! LOOK AT ME! I’M TWENTEY THREE! I SPENT THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS OF MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU! YOU CHOSE TO LEAVE! AND NOW YOU’RE BACK? WHAT HAS POSSESED YOU TO DO THIS? HAS THE GUILT FINALLY SET IN OR DID YOU LEAVE THAT BIMBO AND COME CRAWLING BACK? WELL GUESS WHAT DAD IT’S TOO LATE, WE DON’T NEED YOU! YOU’RE JUST A BAD AFTERTASTE IN MY MOUTH! YOU REALLY SCREWED UP THIS TIME DIDN’T YOU?” I yelled finally out of breath I collapsed on the bed in a heap.

“Abby please just listen to me,” begged the man I called my father.

“NO!”

“Abby I am your father you will listen to me young lady you hear me?!”

“I’m a full grown woman now; you don’t have any rule over me,” I stated bluntly.

“Abby calm down and listen to me, I owe you a huge explanation.”

“YAH NO REALLY?! THIRTEEN YEARS! THIRTEEN FREAKING YEARS!” I was done with that man, he didn’t want anything to do with me all those years ago he can’t come waltzing back into my life now. He can just bug off he may want to know me but I don’t want to know him. Does he even know the pain that I went through when he left? I bet you he doesn’t he’s a selfish excuse of a man and I am done one hundred and ten percent done with that scum sack and with that I pressed the help button. Nurses ran in stringing doctors and other staff with them.

“What seems to be the problem Miss. Hope?” asked one of the doctors.

“Can you please get this man out of my room? He’s really beginning to scare me and he’s really getting me mad on top of that.”

“Not a problem Miss,” said one of the nurses and then turning to my dad she said “Sir I’m sorry but we can’t have anyone bugging the patients right now, I’m afraid we’ll have to ask you to leave.”

“SHE’S MY DAUGHTER I HAVE ALL THE RIGHT IN THE WORLD TO SEE HER IF I WANT TO!” yelled my dad at the poor nurse.

“I’m sorry sir but you will have to leave rules are rules no acceptations I don’t care if you are her father you are disrupting her and she can’t have any stress put on her right now leave of I will call security,” threatened the nurse with a deathly serious tone.

“THEN I GUESS YOU’LL HAVE TO THROW ME OUIT CUZ SHE’S MY DAUGHTER AND AS I SAID I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE HERE, SHE’S MINE AND I HAVE ALL CONTORLL OVER HER” screamed my dad yet again this time his face was turning red a like a stop sign. What is wrong with this man? Has he lost for good? Just the security officers came in and dragged my father away kicking and screaming profanities. The doctors and nurses left to make sure he was gone for good. I sunk down into the bed in a dead heap, I was so tired both emotionally and physically, my lungs and vocal cords still burned from all of the yelling and screaming. I couldn’t hold on any longer I started bawling, my shoulders shaking uncontrollably, he bright my mum and I in so much pain and misery and now he comes back, we were doing just fine without him, I don’t care about that man, he doesn’t deserve my love he never did. As the bible says, ‘Thou shall not commit adultery’ he broke that long ago, he just up and left us. In my book you don’t fall out of love you either have it or you don’t and even if you don’t have it you don’t leave, you were the one to chose that path you married that person you stay with them until death do you part, that’s how it works, you make the mistake you pay for it I don’t care what anyone says, you said the vows you keep them. He can just go away and never come back for all I care. I heard the door open yet again and Harry walked in, he just took one look at me and knew that questions weren’t important right now he knew what I needed, and he gave it to me, comfort and security he wrapped his arms around me and just held me for I don’t even know how long, just whispering sweet nothings into my ear and trying to calm me down, I fall more and more in love with him everyday…
