Don't

Chapter 3

2 Days Later

I look in the mirror.

I hate having to pretend as if I am strong when I know I'm weak.

I know it sounds cliche but my dad left when I was young. I didn't really know him. I asked myself everyday why did he leave. Was there something wrong with me?

My mum had always been the strong one inside the relationship.

She never cried over my father leaving...

 She never put out any emotion  towards the situation. I always think to myself she must be a great actress that knows how to hide all her feelings.

After he left my mum invested more in her business and now she has loads of brands around the country even some in other countries.

I wouldn't call us filthy rich but my mum definitely gets more than a average person.

But I keep it on a down low I don't like people to think that I'm a bratty rich kid.

The only people who know about my lifestyle is Alyssa and Tyson...

 I wish I was like my mum because  I'm still heart broken. I've been heart broken since when I was young.

9 Years Ago

It's take your dad to school today. I don't have a dad so I just have to come in and sit down for the whole day.

I always ask mummy why I don't have a dad but she always says.

"Nicole how many times do I have to tell you that  Santa took your dad and he works in the North Pole." I always wonder if he gets free presents from Santa and unlimited chocolate chip cookies with milk on the side.

But come on I'm getting too old to believe in that baloney.

I watch as all my classmates walk in with all their dad's and I watch in excitement on how lucky they were to have a dad by their sides.

But the next person to walk in was a little different...

It was Tyson and he seemed to be complaining like he always does.

"But dad...I want that new computer game. Dad tell dad about how I tidied my room and put all my toys away. "I look at Ms. Heart as she hugs both of Tyson's dads.

He has his face scrunched up and he's folded his arms. He's sulking and a sulking Tyson is the worse Tyson.

"Come on Tyson it's not bad if your dad doesn't want to get you the computer game yet. "

Ms. Heart tries to comfort him. I hold my ears knowing what's coming next.

"I WANT MY GAME AND I WANT IT NOW!" Tyson is now rolling on the ground throwing a temper tantrum.

"Tyson buddy your going to get your clothes dirty get up." Tyson's dad pulls him up and pats down the dirt of his clothes.

Tears still drop down Tyson's face as he glares at his dad.

"Kevin and Joe I think Tyson would cheer up if he shows you his model of a car that he made."

 Ms . Heart tried to brighten the mood.

Tyson's face brightened up and he pulled his dad's hands to show them his work.

My mummy is very close with Tyson's dads and she is always telling me that it is okay to have to have two dads. Tyson is lucky though he has two dads while I have none.
