*beep beep* *beep beep*
6:00am "Ugh..." I moaned as I opened my eyes to turn off my alarm. I got up, threw on some clothes and trudged out to the kitchen to make myself some coffee.
I drank my coffee it was now 6:45am time to get Kyah up and ready for school. I wandered into her room slowly. I sat on the bed beside her, she looked so peaceful just laying there.
"Kyah, it's time to wake up sweet." I said softly. She rolled over. Gently I stroked her hair as I said, "Come on darlin' you've got school, you need to wake up." She groaned and rolled over. "I'll be back in five minutes with some toast, what would you like on it? Ive got jam, peanut butter, butter, golden syrup or honey which would you like?"
"Jam please" she said in a small mumble.
"Alright, what do you want to drink?"
"Chocolate milk please" she said in a soft mumble.
"As you wish" I smiled and left the room.
I entered the kitchen, made her toast and poured her drink, as I did a little, sleepy Kyah appeared at the island on a stool, in her uniform she almost fell asleep during eating her toast. Now it's 7:15 time to leave. We got in the car, we arrived at her school before walking her to the gate I put some foundation on her bruise that had now turned into a very impressive black eye with blues, greens, purples and yellows it now looked a little swollen as I covered it well.
It's 8:30 time to head to the cafe where I'm meeting Dad. 9:00 I'm outside the cafe. I park up and go inside, I went up to the counter to order myself a flat white I sat and drank my coffee in wait for Dad. 9:30 still not here, I order another coffee. 10:00 still nothing. 10:15 nothing. I call him to check where he is. No answer, I decide to stay and wait. I order another coffee. 10:30 nothing.
My stomach starts to rumble, I check the time 12:47. I go to the counter and order myself yet another coffee and a sandwich, ham and pickle of course. Its my favourite, I ate my sandwich 12:59 I call Dad again. Again no answer, but still I decide to stay and wait.
12:30 still nothing. Fucking hell. I call him again still no answer. "Oh for fucks sake!" I exclaim. Its now 2:20 I have to leave, I need to pick up Kyah at 3:10.
I get up and go. As I pull pu to the school my phone does *ding* I've got a text. Its from Dad.
Hey peanut,
Sorry I couldn't make it today, let's reschedule for tomorrow?
I love you,
-Dad xxx
I couldn't hold it in anymore I just broke down. The tears came streaming down my face. My mascara like a black waterfall. I just sat there, in my car, crying my eyes out. I hate him. I. Hate. Him!
