After the therapist came and nagged me again.
I heard daddy singing. He was siting in his room. He probably didn't notice me. But he sounded extremely sad.
"Like a comet
Blazin cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone Too Soon"
He started to cry and I quickly ran into his room to hug him. He all of a sudden stopped and hugged me tighter.
"That's just what I needed" he said
I smiled just as he did.
"A nice boy I was friends with recently passed away from AIDS."
I grew sad myself. It's not fun to think of somebody passing. I feel extremely bad for him considering he actually knew him, I gave him another tight hug before the bell rang.
Daddy rushed down stairs and opened the door.
"DUNK!"
"APPLEHEAD"
Should I question that? Nah.
"We should go watch a movie or somethin"
"That sounds fun! I'll only be in town for a few weeks though ."
"That's fine. I want you to meet my daughter"
"You have a daughter!"
"Yeah" he smiles. I've always wanted to meet Janet but I'm to nervous to do it.
"CRYSTAL" he yells. I slowly walk down the stairs and stop mid way. I show a small smile on my face but what I'm really feeling is a mixture of shyness and excitement.
"Come on, don't be shy."
I walk down the rest of the stairs and walk up to Janet and daddy. As soon as I reach them I distance myself from daddy. He shrugs it off. That's not normal. Does he think I don't love him. I move a little closer to him and he smiles to himself. I don't wanna see him unhappy.
"Janet this is Crystal, Crystal this is your aunt Janet"
"It's nice to meet you."I smile and shake her hand. LaToya soon walks into the room and rushes to hug aunt Janet. "How's touring been?"
"Ok but I prefer either California or Indiana so I can see y'all."
"Awe Dunk" daddy hugs her once more. Soon after we were watching tv in the living room and daddy has ordered pizza. It smelled good, but everything I ate I just threw back up. Daddy wants to try to get me back on a normal eating pattern but it's hard. I hear the doorbell ring and rush up stairs. LaToya blocks the stair well and leads me to the dining table. I sigh in defeat. I sit down and a plate it put in front of me. I instead get up and walk over to the fridge to see what there was to drink. I get a glass off apple juice and realize there's avocados. I'm a big fan of them.That's something I know for sure. I purposely leave the refrigerator door open Walk over to LaToya whisper that I need to excuse myself. She oks me and I walk back over. I put an avocado in both of my shoes, in my shirt, sleeves, pants pockets, and just one in my hand. I quickly rush up stairs making sure they didn't notice. As soon as I got to my room I got the key for my second drawer, not the first one (one with diary and pictures) And put my first load of avocados inside of there. I sneak back into the kitchen and pull a kitchen knife. I sneak back upstairs putting it inside the drawer with avocados. They didn't see me which is a good thing. I don't want them to get the wrong idea. I go back downstairs to deal with the dreadful food at the table.
