"Get down here you ungrateful piece of shit!" Dad yelled from downstairs. There he goes again, going to the bar and having too many beers. Now he's drunk. I try my best to stay out of his way at these times but sometimes he gets way out of control.
"Hey bitch! Get the fuck down here or I'm coming up to get you myself Lauren Factor!!" I didn't want him to do that because one, he'll either stumble coming up and fall, or two he'll use one of his beer bottles to slap me.
Like he did a couple weeks ago. I still have the scar right across my cheek.
I open the door and head downstairs. I come down the last 4 steps slowly just to find out where he was. I check in the kitchen and see him lying on the floor with a beer in his hand. He's either sleeping or he went into a coma or something! I rush to his side! "Dad? DAD!? Wake up please!" I shake his arm hoping to wake him in any way. He didn't look like he was breathing! I was starting to become frightened! What if he was dead?
I ran into the living room where my home phone was. Quickly, I try to dial 9-1-1 without misdialing the number. I was just so scared of him dying so my fingers were trembling. When I turned around to check on him, I realized he wasn't there.
"What..?"
I searched everywhere to find where your dad was. I head upstairs and see my dad,
with a gun facing his head!!!
"DAD! What are you doing?! Put that down!!!" I screamed to him!
Why was he doing this? He had tears at the brim of his face.
"I'm sorry for being such a shitty father to you... when your mom died I knew I couldn't take care of you but I had to try. I tried and tried and I failed at being one. From being gone all day, to coming home drunk and beating you.." He cried so much I couldn't believe it.
Tears were rushing down my face, so much tears than you could ever imagine.
"Dad, don't do this, I still love you! You mean everything to me! You are all I have to love..." I wasn't wrong about what I said. My mom died from breast cancer and my brother died from a drunk driving accident. I can't lose my dad. He's basically all I have that loves me.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I love you so much and I'm doing this to keep you safe, from me..." As he was about to pull the trigger he stopped, looked down and thought of something, " When you are in darkness, keep going, there is always light in the other end.." He then, pulled the trigger.
And with that,
He was gone.
