"do you think jordan is a crazy cat lady?" jack asked.
i take a bite of bacon and look at him and laugh while orange juice comes out of my nose.
me and jack are both dying of laughter.
"nah she's cool." i said after cleaning my nose.
"so tell me about your parents." jack said happily.
i turn pale and stop chewing my food. this topic just scares me and brings back bad memories. i get really quiet.
"triz? are you okay?" jack asked concerned.
i swallow my food and clear my throat.
"well. my dad is dead and mother hates my guts and wants nothing to do with me." i say feeling my eyes getting glossy.
then the worst memory of all comes back into head.
flashback :
i haven't saw my dad in 8 years because my mom wouldn't allow me to see him since the "thing" happened i never even talked to my mom when i lived with her. she waited until i was 18 to kick me out.
i was 18. i went to go visit my dad for the first time. i come out of my car and walk over to my dads car.
"hi." i whispered to my dad.
"i have something for you." he smiled and said to me.
he sits in the passenger seat and closes the car door. i walk over to my car and grab my keys out of the ignition. i turn around and i see someone in a black hoodie setting my dads car on fire. he looks at me then runs away. i drop everything and scream. the whole car exploded and i kept screaming. then a women and some girl around my age came.
i called nate and he wasn't answering. why wouldn't he answer? he's at my apartment waiting for me? why wouldn't he answer?
"dad!" the girl screamed.
the other women was crying and calling 911.
dad?
that's my dad. and i was his only child.
end of flashback.
triz
jack looks at me with sad eyes making me want to cry even more.
"im sorry triz. i'll never bring up this topic again alright?" jack said getting up and walking over to hug me.
now my eyes are literally about to burst. im not gonna cry. i have to be strong.
"hey let's say we meet some of my friends yeah?" jack said trying to pick up the mood.
i nod my head and get up to clean up our plates and the table.
"hey hey. i got it. go get dressed." jack says and kissed my lips.
i needed that. he pulls away but i pull him back in. i gently kiss his soft lips then go upstairs and change.
