I'm A Way

chapter 9

"Because you had blacked out and I wasn't there fast enough to stop all those douche bag guys from hurting you." dad said.

We were still in a hug but I knew dad was crying. It's sad to see him like this. He was suicidal before I was born, he was a drunk before and after I was born. He started to control his drinking when I was 12. He's gotten so much better. I hate to see him sad. I hate putting pain on him. I put him in this state a lot. I hate how I treat my dad. He would a lot happier if I wasn't around.

"Daddy I love you. I hope you know that. I have been a terrible daughter for a very long time. I make you cry. Daddy I love you." I said and dad squeezed me.

"Don't you dare say you have been a terrible daughter. You don't make me cry it's the fact that I worry so much about you. I don't know what I would do without you or your mom or even your little sister. You three mean the world to me and I wouldn't give you up for anything." dad said.

Dad pulled from the hug and I seen a couple tears fall from his eyes. He wiped them off his face and kissed my cheek.

"I love you Lola." dad said.

We hugged again but only for a few seconds. The door opened and Jimmy, Chantal, Mary, Frank, Jamia,Cherry, Lily, Miles Ray, Christa, Kristin, Josh, Andy (Beirsack), Steve, and Jennifer walked into the room.

"Hey baby girl. It's been a while since I seen you girly." Kristin said.
"Yeah aunt Kristin. Why'd you keep her away from me uncle Mikey?" I asked Mikey as a little joke.

"I ask if she wants to come with me to your place but she never seems to want to come." Mikey said hands up in surrender.

"HEY, you never ask me to come." Kristin said.

"Fine, I never ask." Mikey said.

"When you get of this dump we need to have a girls day out." Jamia said.

"Who's going?" mom asked.

"I have to go." Christa said.

"I'm going if you guys like it or not." Kristin said.

"So that means I'm going." mom said.

"I never said I would go. " I said.

"I'm going so you might want to think over not going." Jennifer said.

"I'm going with or without my mom's say." Mary said.

"I feel like I should say that I would go or say something along the lines of 'Mary you aren't going anywhere' but I'm fucking coming with." Chantal said.

"I still never said that I would go." I said.

"What would you do without me?" Kristin asked.

"Um read Harry Potter with dad or do anything with dad. Paint, play RPGs, and just hang with dad." I said.

"YES, my daughter would do stuff with me and not you girls. Who's the best father?" Dad asked.

"My daddy." Cherry said.

"Yeah, who's the best father now Gerard?" Frank said doing a little dance.

"My daddy is the best I don't know what you are talking about Cherry?" Bandit asked.

"She's talking about how our daddy is better." Lily said.

"No no no no, hold on Lily my daddy is the best and you should know that." I said.

"Oh, what awe you talwing awout Lola mwy daddy is the bewst." Miles said.

"Aw he can't pronounce words right but anyway you all have it wrong my father is the best he rocks those fairy wings you know." Mary said.
