Dre Pov :
It's 2 Day's before thanksgiving and I've decided after my trip with Prince I've made a decision that could bring me closure and that I'm inviting my pops to Thanksgiving dinner with us .
Prince & I talked about the other night and he was really proud of my decision and felt it was something need but I wasn't going to if I don't talk to him face to face without anyone around.
So I planned for us to meet at lunch and chat in the back invade things get crazy but Im going to try and not be stubborn and closed off and hear what he was to say to me. I arrived at the little restaurant wear they give you a private section away from people and they'll bring the food.I waited and waited thinking why did I even decide to waist my time and the waiter came and he got my drink and appetizer cause I don't want to order my meal without my pops.
20 min later, he finally walked through the door and sat down "Hello son.", "Wassup." "You said you wanted to talk..so where do you want to start cause I'm a open book." I couldn't even hold it in looking this man in the eye was painful for me cause all I seen was him beating my mom over nothing while he would be drunk as fuck.
I had to be strong and say what I needed to say or else never going to be fully happy in my life cause it has be bothering me since Alex and I left to live with our Uncle. "Pops why did you kill my moms." "Kill you're mom I didn't kill her Dre."he gave me this innocent look "Pops mom overdosed because of you you put her on to then drugs plus you beat her ass for no reason just cause she didn't do what you wanted.""Dre I'm sorry for everything you've witnessed but I loved you're mom and I hate what happened to her if could change the past Dre I'm Sorry." He gave me this most none remorseful look which made me break down.
"Pops you're sorry isn't going to bring her back..pops it's not and you gave us away and never looked back all I wanted was my Father to come to my middle school games,High school games and you weren't there." I put my head down on the table and cried cause I was broken.
The waiter walked in cause I could hear him and then he walked back out. My pops then got up from his seat and came and hugged me and broke down with me and apologized for everything but this time I could feel &I hear the truth in his voice which was what I needed.
"Dre I'm sorry." He said at least 5x and each time he said was flashback of my childhood which we going through my mind but then the when he said the final one was when I realized I had to forgive him cause he's willing to make things right but I've been pushing him away and I said the word I'd thought I'd never say "I forgive you" and hugged him back........
I love this chapter short and emotional.......❤️
