          “Dad?” my voice came out as barely a whisper. I never thought I would see him again, I didn’t think he would be here. Slowly he turned to face me and instantly tears were welling in both our eyes. He took a step forward, but I took one back.

          After everything he did, after breaking this family he dosnt have a right to be here… He has no right to care about Lilly or me. If he cared he wouldn’t have left in the first place.

          “Everly.” His deep voice was shaky and unstable.

          “No, no. No!” I yelled shaking my head letting more tears come out. “You have no right to be here! No right!” My body was trembling at the sight of him. He looked exactly like he did over ten years ago, minus the small amount of grey hairs peeking through his ruffled dirty blonde ones.

          Sniffling, I nodded. What did I have to lose? I have been wondering for ten years where he was and why he left. Getting answers could possibly help.

          After I calmed down we all sat at the table, Lu sitting on the stairs waiting patiently but hanging onto every word that’s being spoken. I saw there looking down at my hands that were placed on my lap as he explained everything.

          I was even more shocked when the truth came out. The real reason my dad left my mom, Lilly and me. Something that wasn’t as far fetch as I thought.  It was something that changed my anger completely to a different direction.
