My vision is blurry and I can't seem to think straight.
He told me he wouldn't let his drinking get in the way of his life but he did.
"Rose?!"
I could see John run from the other side of the room over to me. He kneeled down and held me.
"Rosie love? What's wrong?"
I could barely choke out the words.
"My dad." I managed to get out.
"Rose is he ok?" He held me tighter and his eyes seemed to be more cloudy.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"He shot himself."
I completely broke down again. It felt like something was ripping at my heart. I couldn't believe he did this.
"Rosie I'm going to bring you to your brother. He needs you and you need him right now."
I felt Johns arms wrap around me and pick me up. He carried me through the house.
He opened the door and walked outside. The brisk air felt like a wall. He got me into the car and started it up.
The headlights lighting up the road reminded me when my father took me driving for the first time.
I guess sometimes people break promises. Some are just too hard to keep.
