Enough

Dad

6th of April 2017, London

- Oh William, it's you! Come in. What are you doing here?

- Dad, I want to talk to you.

- Ok? Do you want a beer?

- Thanks.

- So, you want to talk?

- It's Noora's birthday.

- Noora was the girl, who lived with you in Autumn? She left back to Oslo?

- Yes, Noora is in Oslo. The thing is I started to think about all the stuff that happened last Spring. Dad, do you know why Nikolai really got in jail?

- Something about child porn. He never was any good.

- No, he wasn't. He took a nude pic of Noora, and made her believe that he had raped her when she had passed out. First told her lies about me, and when she got sad, gave her wine and tequila.

- Oh? But child porn?

- Well, Noora was 16, and Nikolai was adult. Noora was in really bad shape, having anxiety and stuff. She was afraid to tell me, because she thought I would kill Nikolai. And then Nikolai told me she had willingly slept with him. That was when I came here, in the middle of my exams, remember?

- You were barely speaking. I always thought it was something to do with that fighting stuff. Why did Noora thought you would kill Nikolai?

- Well she had seen the fight. When I almost killed this guy. And I told her I would. If Nikolai would try to destroy me and Noora, I would kill him. I don't even know, what's the worst part. That I knew he would, or that he actually did.

- I don't know, what to say William.

- You don't believe me, dad?

- I do believe. Nikolai has always been, what can I say, lots of trouble. Have you heard of him?

- I'm not in touch with Nikolai, I don't want to have anything to do with him ever.

- But you and that Noora got back together?

- Yes, I managed completely fine to broke up us on mine own. It was because of you by the way.

- Because of me??

- I kind of forgot about Noora when I got so eager to work with you.

- But your carrier is really important to focus on! Why couldn't she understand that?

- Well, I was quite obsessed about you. Why did you leave us in the first place?

- I didn't leave you! I was just working. If I didn't spend time here at that point, I could never had made this happen.

- Did you knew how much mom was drinking? Did you knew that she couldn't control Nikolai?

- Well...

- Did you even knew that Nikolai killed Amalie?

- It was an accident, William!

- Ok, he didn't mean to kill her, but... I was there, dad! He loved to scare us. And after the funeral, we barely saw you.

- Things were so hot here at that point. And it started to be really bad between me and your mom.

- What the fuck did you really expect? You had lost a fucking kid! Yeah, things were bad! And you were cheating mom, too. Your girlfriend actually called her!

- William, this is really...

- You had had the responsibility of us! You knew mom was not up to it.

- Well, I didn't knew how bad it was.

- You had the responsibility to know! You knew how Nikolai was! And you left me basically alone with him for 10 years. When you finally got divorced, me and Nikolai actually lived alone in that fucking apartment one year before he left Oslo! Really dad, I haven't been talking to mom pretty much since she moved, and I'm definitely not talking to Nikolai. I'm just wondering why I still pretend that you're the ok part of this so called family?
