Scary Story - Dad?
--
This happened a long time ago. I was still in elementary school at the time.
I was sitting in class waiting for lunch break to finish. My homeroom teacher, who was usually really calm, came up to me looking really nervous.
“I need to talk to you about something really serious. Stay calm for me, okay? Your mom collapsed after work. I want you to gather your things together and go to the office.”
I was shocked. I stuffed as many things into my book bag as I could and ran to the office. The principal was waiting for me.
“Your dad is in the bathroom, okay? He’s going to take you to the hospital as soon as he gets out.” He was obviously flustered and looked at his watch every few seconds.
“Um, excuse me…” The principal was obviously uncomfortable, but I needed to tell him something. “My dad doesn’t live here. I never see him.”
I lived in a single-parent household with my mother. Nobody knew until that moment, but suddenly everybody was panicking.
I still don’t know who the man claiming to be my father was.
