Chapter 58

Alice's P.O.V

The next day, we were back on the road. My family and Paul's family were joining us for the rest of it. It turns out that them joining us was Helen's surprise for us. I still hadn't talked to my dad yet. I felt really awful about what happened and I know he did too. We were both just angry and we said things we didn't mean. Right now, I was sitting with all my siblings. Laura, Frank and Annie were across from me while Grace sat beside me.

"So, what was the fight that you had with dad about anyways?" Laura asked

"Well, when he found out that Paul and I brought marijuana, he got very mad at me and that's kind of how our argument started" I said

"Dad is really upset about it. What exactly did you say at the end of the argument?" Annie asked me

"I said that I never wanted to talk to him again" I said

"That's a line you should never have crossed. You know dad loves us and he's already lost mom. Us not talking to him would make him feel like he lost one of us" Frank said. I sighed and put my head in my hands.

"I know. I feel really bad about it and I want to apologize but I don't even have the guts to look him in the eye" I said

"Alice, look at me" Laura said. I quickly looked up at her.

"You're not going to slap me, are you?" I asked

"Well I was going to, just to knock some courage into you but you ruined it" Laura said

"Alice?" Grace spoke up. I turned my attention towards her.

"Yes?" I asked

"You don't want daddy to be upset forever, do you?" Grace said

"No I don't, but-" I said

"No buts Alice!" Annie protested

"Yeah. Just march over there and apologize" Frank said. I felt Grace grab my hand.

"Please Alice. I don't want you or daddy to be upset anymore" Grace said. My sisters and brother were right. If I don't apologize now, I may never do it then I'd regret it for the rest of my life. I stood up and went to go find dad.

I could feel my heart pounding. I don't know why I was so scared to talk to my dad. Maybe it was the thought of him not being upset with me anymore, but him hating me instead. I had managed to bump into Paul.

"Are you okay, love?" Paul asked

"No. I'm going to apologize to my dad but I'm scared to" I said

"Why would you be scared?" Paul asked

"What if he hates me now?" I asked. Paul grabbed my hands.

"He doesn't hate you, love. I'm pretty sure he's just as scared to talk to you for the same reason" Paul said

"Why would I hate him? I could never hate my dad" I said

"See? Then how could he hate you?" Paul said. I let a smile show.

"You're right Paulie. Do you know where he is?" I asked

"He's with my dad. I'll take you to him" Paul said. With my hand in his, he brought me to my dad.

When Paul had brought me over to dad, he was in deep conversation with Jim. I studied dad's face and noticed his cheeks were stained with tears. I cleared my throat to get their attention. Both of them looked at me.

"Dad, can I talk to you?" I said. Dad nodded and then walked off. I was about to walk off when Jim spoke to me.

"Alice, what your dad really wants to hear from you now is that you love him and he really needs a hug from you" Jim said. I nodded and then followed my dad.

"Alice, before you say anything, I want to apologize. I was just angry and speaking nonsense. You know I'd never leave any of you behind. I love all of you too much" dad said

"I know dad. I'm sorry as well. When I said I never wanted to speak to you again, it was just because I was angry and I wasn't thinking clearly. I love you daddy. Nothing is ever going to change that" I said, letting a few tears fall down my cheek.

"Pumpkin, please don't cry" dad said, even though tears were starting to fall down his face. I brought him into a hug. I held onto him tightly and he did the same.

"Promise me we'll never fight again" dad said

"I promise" I said. We still never let go of each other.

"Aww! You two made up! Family hug!" I heard Laura say. Laura, Annie, Frank and Grace joined in on our hug.

"What's going on here?" I heard Mabel ask. I looked to her and smiled.

"It's a family hug. Join in!" I said. Mabel smiled and then joined in on the hug.

"We're a strange family. I mean, we're all hugging each other in the middle of a bus" Laura said

"That's what makes the Martinez family one of a kind" I said

"Do you think we should all let go now?" Annie asked

"Yeah. This is starting to feel kind of awkward" Frank said. We all let go of each other, except for dad and I.

"I can see you two made up" Mabel said. Dad and I finally let go of each other.

"It was just a silly little fight" dad said

"And we both over reacted" I said.

All of us checked into a hotel for the night. Paul and I made our way up to our room with the girls. Ethel walked by Paul's side, Mary walked by mine and Stella was being carried by her father. On the way there, we met up with my dad.

"Hi daddy" I said

"Hi grandpa!" Ethel and Mary said. Dad smiled at his granddaughters.

"Hello girls" dad said.

"Are you feeling better grandpa?" Ethel asked. My dad looked at me and smiled.

"I've never been better in my life" he said.
