Forgotten pt. 2

Letter

Dylan's POV

Annie's dad held a letter. His eyes began to water as he handed me the letter. I read it aloud.

"Dear Mr and Mrs. Posey,
I am writing this letter to inform you about the new addition to our school! Many students did not notice us working on it ( which is a problem! Kids get your heads out of your phones! ) We've made a new building, the building is hidden behind out main building for classes but it's here alright. In that building is dorms! From now on your kids have to stay in dorms. Not to worry, they will get a week home every 4 weeks. And a weekend home every 2 weeks.

Regards, Mr. Lewi "

I slowly looked up to see the expressions on everyone's faces.

"We're excited for you guys, but I am going to miss you" Annie's mom said while looking to her dad.

"We're both going to miss you, just please be careful" my dad said as he continued to hold back tears, "we have many businesses meetings though, so we'll be away very often anyway. I'll call you when we're home sweetie. And summer vacation, we'll be home." He said to Annie and I.

Annie's mom cut him off and added, "this actually works really well for us, have fun and go pack your bags" she said as she gave us a smile.

Annie and I made our way upstairs and banged on Tyler's door. He opened it and we explained everything.

The three of us were actually kind of excited, I mean dorms, that seems kind of cool right? Besides, Annie and Tyler's parents are barely every home anyway. This will be fun.

Annie and Tyler began packing their bags.

"Should I head home and pack mine?" I asked.

"Sure" Annie said, "make sure to bring your car because you're driving us to school" she smiled.

I quickly made my way out, saying bye to Mr and Mrs. Posey on my way out. Mrs. Posey gave me a hug and Mr. Posey told me to take care of Annie. I promised I would and then went home. My car was still at school from yesterday! Great.

I called Annie to let her know, she offered to bring us there with her new storm shit, it's fun so I went along with it.

It's just Dad and I at home now days. Just like a lot of guys my age, I'm not that close with my dad. He's kind of there for me, yet not there. I don't know how to explain it but it doesn't matter.

I had to dig through my pocket for my keys but luckily I found them. I unlocked the door and entered.

"Dylan" was the first thing I heard. I looked around and my eyes landed on my dad, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"You got the letter?" I asked, as a smirk grew on my face.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" The perplexed look on his face made me smile.

"First, I can see it in your hand, second, I was with Annie and they got it too"

"Ah Annie, how's she doing?" He asked.

"A lot has happened, but this doctor fixed her up and her memories are back it's just she got this other thing-" my Dad cut me off.

"It's okay, you can explain some other time. But you already know about the dorms right?" I nodded my head and he continued "okay well just go pack, and uh... give your old man a hug"

My dad never hugs me. I think he used to when I was 10 and under but then he stopped. It's always been my mom, never him. I kind of stood in my spot, looking at him when a similar perplexed face as he used. But then, I spoke,

"You never really hug me" The crack in my voice was very noticeable. I don't know why my voice became shaky, and cracked, but it did.

"Yeah, it was something your mother did but she... can't now, so just come on- my arms are getting tired" his already extended arms began to fall. I walked right into the hug, I don't know why but something in me made me cry.

"I'm sorry" I heard him say.

"For what?"

"For not being a good parent, I should've hugged you more, and shown you more love, I'm sorry" he said as he kissed my head, "you needed this, I can feel it. Ever since your mother left. I've never really seen my happy little man, maybe you're happy with Annie, but I just want that same happiness with me"

I could feel his tears, I began to cry too.

"I- I love you dad"
