Invisible

Chapter 12

Mackenzie's POV

There was pure shock on my face when my mother said that. My breathing was heavy and my hands were shaking.

"What about dad?" I questioned nervously, trying not to sound panicked.

"Well he called me and said that he wanted to come and see you." She said.

I sat there astonished at what she said, and I nervously looked down at the menu.

The waitress came back and asked what we wanted to drink. I asked for just a water, and my mom got an iced tea.

"He wanted to know if you wanted to see him. He needs an answer by Thursday." My mom looked at me with concern as I kept looking at the menu.

"Why does he want to come and see me anyway?" I said with pure anger in my voice.

"He said he just wants to see you and catch up. Oh and he also said that he had something important to tell you."

The waitress came back and we ordered our food that we wanted. When the waitress left to put in our orders, it was silent.

I was on my phone the whole time looking at pictures of my dad and me. I held back the tears as I thought back to all of the good memories we shared.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to see him and "catch up", it would just remind me of their horrible divorce. It would also remind me of the promise that he didn't keep either.

No texts or phone calls, absolutely nothing. I wanted to call and text him but I always thought that he was busy, and didn't have time for me.

At least I have time to think about what I want to do before he comes. I don't like to be put on the spot.

When we got home I went straight to my room, I had to recollect my thoughts after the dinner. I guess it was a good thing that he wanted to come and see me.

But even thought he is ten years late, I guess it's better than him not even trying to see me at all. Why did he want to "catch up" now? Why couldn't he have called or texted me in the ten years since he left?

I pull my phone from my coat pocket, and put my headphones in. I listen to Jet Black Heart by 5 Seconds of Summer. It's really an inspirational song, and it just makes me feel relaxed.

I feel my eyelids get heavy, but just as my eyes are about to close my phone buzzes. It was a text from Brandon.

Hey how was the dinner? What was the news?

I decide to text him back.

The dinner was really awkward, I don't know my mom was acting really weird. She told me that my dad wanted to "catch up" with me and see me again.

Oh do you want to talk to me about it?

I don't really know how to respond to that because I don't want him to feel bad for me all the time. I just want to think by myself, but it could be good to get it off my chest.

Sure meet me at the coffee shop on the corner.

Okay see you there!<3

I quickly get my shoes, and coat on and tiptoe downstairs. But before I get to the door I hear my mom calling my name.

"Hey honey, where are you going?"

"Uh I'm going out with Destiny to the coffee shop. Is that okay?"

She walks over to me and looks at me with pure happiness.

"Sure honey just be back before nine okay."

"Okay."

I walked out the door as fast as I could. I just wanted to talk to Brandon, and to figure things out.

As I walk into the coffee shop, I immediately see him sitting in the same booth we sat at last time we were here.

"Hey." He says shyly with a grin on his face.

"Hi" I say, sitting down across from him.

"So what are you going to do about your dad?" He stares into my eyes waiting for an answer.

"I don't really know, I need your help." I say looking up at him.

"Hey don't worry, I will help you figure this out. Just tell me what you're thinking."

"Well I want to see him again, but I also don't want to go through the same feeling of him leaving again. I just want to have my dad back but I know that won't happen." I say on the verge of tears, but I hold them back.

"Don't worry everything will turn out fine, you just have to think positive. You're not alone I am here, always." He takes my hands and intertwines them.

"Okay"
