All for you (Kellic) (boyXboy)

Chapter 35

Kellin's POV

I started to shake. I couldn't handle it. After all these years, he'd just come back for me? If it even was him?

I gasped and took a step back as I was worried for my safety. My father never abused me but he wasn't going to be father of the year.

He was drunk most of the time but when he was sober, he used to take me out for father and son bonding days.

That's what I could never wrap my mind around. He used to love me, but then he left me. We're the memories even real?

And of all the times he could have chosen to come back, it was today. The day I was accepting that my family was gone.

"D-dad?" I asked, my voice breaking.

"Yes son. It's me."

"N-no. I don't b-believe you!" I choked.

His face fell with disappointment but it was the least of my worries.

"On your third birthday, I bought you a kiddy bike and taught you to ride it outside the house."

"On one of our father and son bonding days, I took you to feed the ducks and you jumped in the pond because you wanted to catch one of them. I had to drag you out and give you my shirt."

"When you were five, I took you and your friend Taylor to get ice cream and we ended up causing a food fight and getting kicked out of the store."

"Please Kellin" He pleaded.

I remembered. I remembered the bike, the ducks, the food fight. Most of all, I remembered him.

"It's r-really y-you."

Tears started to roll down my cheeks.

My father started walking towards me and out of instinct I flinched away from him.

A look of horror crossed his face but I think he understood why I did what I did.

"W-why are you here?" I asked a little bitterly "w-why n-now?"

"When I left," He started "Your mother's medical records still had me as the emergency contact. I was at work when I received a call saying she'd passed away. I came down for the funeral."

"Oh." I said, not sure of what else to say.

"You've changed Kellin." He stated.

"Yeah well it's been near enough ten years since you last saw me." I snapped.

A look of guilt passed over his face.

"I'm so sorry Kellin. I had to get out, get help. I was an alcoholic. As soon as I left, I checked myself into a rehab centre and was there for 2 years. When I was released, I couldn't come back. Your mother was toxic and I knew everything would be ruined if I came back. I haven't touched a drink in 7 years."

"So you thought it was okay to leave me there with her!?" I shouted. "If you knew how bad she was, why didn't you take me with you?! She abused me! She ruined my life! After you left, she got worse and worse, blaming you leaving on me! I still believe it's my fault!"

"It wasn't your fault Kellin!" He shouted back "I loved you more than anything but I knew that i couldn't look after you on my own! I thought that you'd be better off without me!"

"Well you were wrong!" I screamed. "Y-you were w-wrong."

Vic, who I had forgotten was stood behind me, reached out and pulled me into a hug. I buried my head into the crook of his neck and cried.

After I few minutes, I stepped away and looked up at my father.

"Will you ever forgive me Kellin?" He asked sincerely.

"I'll think about it" I told him, my voice scratchy from shouting.

He nodded and looked down before pulling a scrap of paper and a pen from his pocket, then started to scribble on it.

"Here" He said, passing me the piece of paper with the digits on. "Please call me if you want to meet up some time. I really want to see you again. I want to get to know you son."

He started to walk away but stopped abruptly and turned back around.

"One more thing," he called out "You have a little sister whose dreamt of meeting you. If not for me, please come and visit for her. Her name is Kailey."

And with that he walked away, leaving me in a state of shock.

"Did that just happen?" I asked Vic who looked as shocked as me.

"Yeah, I think so" He replied slowly.

I grabbed his hand and laced his fingers with mine as we walked towards the car.

I chuckled inwardly and rolled my eyes as I remembered the words I'd written a few months prior. They were starting to come true.

Father, father, tell me where have you been?
