Chapter 3 - Dad

It's the 29th November and about a foot deep in snow, Mum's worrying because Dad's out driving and she hates him driving in bad weather conditions, the worst of it being we have no idea where he is. After last nights events not turning out so well, Dad stormed out slamming every door on his way early this morning. Apparently they had yet another argument this morning because of the psychic channels he was watching infront of Blake, I think the whole thing has just been taken way too out of context. Mums being way to dramatic and against it but yet Dad seems to determind that it's scary, it's usually a good thing but he doesn't even look like Dad anymore. Somethings changed, he hasn't got that shine in his eyes anymore, it's just vanished.

On the bright side of things I'm seeing Kyle tonight, I usually only get to see him once a week but now he's bought a motorbike so I can see him more often. I'm not too fond on the idea as I know how dangerous it is especially with the roads being so icy and slippy, I haven't been with him for long but I can tell he's the one, he's my best friend. He seems to get on with my family well, he hasn't really met many of my family as there's a lot of people to get around so he'll be able to meet them properly on Christmas day. He's only really got to know my Mum, Dad and Brother. Talking of my Dad, he's just pulled up outside, I wonder where he's been.

Brooke:"Where have you been, you know how worried I get, why haven't you answered your phone?!"

Dwain:"I've been to my spiritulist class, not that you're bothered"

Brooke:"You know how I feel about it Dwain, you shouldn't mess with the dead, it's dangerous."

Dwain:"Your just being sceptical, ridiculous infact, you agree with me don't you Lucy?"

Brooke:"Stop bringing her into it, your involving her in it again, just stop it, I told you not to involve the kids for god sake!"

As I sit in my bedroom all I can hear is muffled screaming, slamming doors and swearing. I wish they wouldn't involve me, I've never really got on with Dad but I always seem to feel guilty taking my Mums side even though I agree with her most of the time. Blakes different, he always agrees with Dad, but that's because he has a relationship I never had. All I can remember from being knee high is Dad either being at work or shouting at me, he used to pick me up from my top but always seemed to catch the skin on my chest, I hated that. It scared me, he never actually hit me, just screaming and dragging me up to his height which was terrifying for a girl of my age. This is why we don't really get along, I've learned to defend myself, he can scream at me as much as he likes and I'll just scream back. He doesn't like strong women, I think he actually feels a bit intimidated because he thinks he has to the 'man'. Although, we do have our good times, we sometimes can get along really well. He goes through fases of being really hyperactive and then really depressed. Either way we always end up arguing in the end, he always takes things too far.

My Dad has always considered himself to be psychic, because he used to hear and see things when he was younger, but he used to be scared of the whole idea of it. I don't really see what has changed, now it's like he's a whole different person, he's starting to be quite controlling & it's kind of worrying.
