my family sits aroud the dinner table making small talk, so i excuse myself and take my plate to the kitchen.
"lets go for a drive." my dad says making me jump.
I hesitate for a moment. debating what I should do...
"fine." its not like I have anything else better to do except mope around. I follow him out to the car the sun bright and shining.
we drive around aimlessly for a while listening to the radio, not saying much.
"is there anyway you can ever forgive me?" he asks turning the radio off.
"I just don't get it." I say after a moment of hesitation, "I mean look what happened the last time I was here..."
"I..I don't remember what happened." he says with his voice just above a whisper, "but, I've been in rehab..."
now this catches my attention.
"you what?"
"I haven't had a drink in 1 month tomorrow." he says, you can hear his smile and pride in his voice.
"I'm proud of you dad." I say feeling tears in my eyes. I never thought I would here those words come out of his mouth. growing up fearing him as he got more and more agressive, the 2 beers a night quickly turning into 3, then 5 plus shots of random liquor he could find in the house, "I really am."
"and I'm proud of you. despite what I said at the begining of summer, I really am. you're an incredible girl and I'm blessed to have a daughter like you."
"thank you.." I say smiling.
"and give marcel a chance.. he's a confused teenage boy.. he doesn't know what he's doing."
I hope he's right.
****
we pull into the drive way, and a giant suv is parked out front.
what the hell?
and standing outside is Harry.
