Shadow lives.

Chapter.27

"Um why"? I could tell he was jealous. I swear if this starts a fight I will get so annoyed.
"Just to say hi". I said that very calmly, maybe too calm.
"Why". He squinted his eyes.
"I don't know". I tried not to roll my eyes.
"Yeah mhm". Ugh.
"Why do you care anyway"? I tried not to show emotion.
"I don't". I'm laughing on the inside.
"Then let's drop it". We heard the front door open. So we went to see who it was, my dad?
"Hello". He walked past us.
"Where's mom"? I asked. He didn't even look at me. I looked at the clock and it was 10. Early for my dad.
"Work". He went to his room and shut the door loudly. Richie and I went to sleep too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I woke up, it was raining outside.
"Morning". Richie said. He was looking out the window while standing against it.
"Good morning, how long have you been up"? I smiled.
"30 minutes". He looked back and smiled. We went down stairs and to the kitchen. There I saw the time, it was 7:30. My dad was at the table with coffee and his laptop doing work.
"Hey daddy, where's mom"?
"Like I said work". He said that a little coldly.
"Did she come home"? I asked a little lower.
"Why do you ask so many questions"?
"I don't know". He still wasn't facing me, just staring at his laptop like it was God.
"Well then stop asking questions". He was on the verge of yelling.
"Are you ok"? I know I shouldn't have asked, but oh well.
"Not with you bugging me all the time"!
"She was just asking you a question". Richie, oh god I'm afraid.
"She always asks questions, doesn't shut up"!
"Aren't you supposed to be her dad and like not act this way"? I just stood there quiet.
"Why do you care, get lost"!
"Daddy what happened"? Richie came closer to me.
"I got married, then had a annoying girl who doesn't shut up"! I ran to my room. I could hear Richie and my dad.
"What is your deal"? Richie asked, almost yelling.
"You both won't shut up"! I heard something close.
"Your lucky I saved that"! My dad shouted.
"What is your problem"! Oh god there yelling.
"An annoying daughter and a stupid boy"!
"I'm not stupid! But the fact that you call your own daughter annoying is! She is amazing and I shouldn't have to be telling you this"! I could hear Richie coming up the stairs. My door opened.
"Wow"! And he shut my door.
"He's my dad I don't care". Richie came and sat next to me, we were on my bed.
"Yes you do, and I know he cares about you".
"Not as much as you care about me". I smiled at him.
"No one can care about you more than me, but your dad is just tired or something".
"Yeah whatever I don't care anymore".
"I'm sorry". He sighed.
"It's not your fault, thanks for sticking up for me". I put my head on his shoulder, then he put his arm around me.
"Your welcome".
"Let's just stay up here for a little while". I said.
"Alright, what do you want to do"?
"Cards"? I asked, while getting up to get them.
"Sure". I set up the cards and we started playing. I was winning.
"I'm letting you win". Richie said.
"I'm sure". I rolled my eyes. I heard the front door slam shut. We got up and went to look.
"Daddy where are you going"? I asked, he left.
"What the"? Richie looked at me to see if I was ok.
"Are you gonna cry"? He asked. I shook my head.
"Do you need to cry"? I shrugged my shoulders.
"Your gonna cry". He hugged me. I started to cry but then I whipped away my tears.
"I don't want to cry". He rubbed my back.
"It's ok". I hugged him back. I stopped crying.
"If you need me I'm here". He said, then kissed my cheek.
"Thank you". We went back to my room and continued to play cards. After cards we had breakfast then it was 10:00am. We were in the kitchen.
"You ok"? His voice was as soft as mouse, but it was deep too.
"I'm fine". I put on a faint broken emotion, that was fake beyond lies.
"I'm glad your smiling again". He smiled, pure smile, mine was fake... I guess I'm good at that.
Buzz
"Hello"? Richie picked up his phone.
"No way"! I'm so confused 😂
"Yeah that's so cool"!
"No".
"Yeah". I heard "do you like her"? From his phone.
"A lot".
"Mhm".
"Alright bye dude". He hung up the phone.
"Victor". He said.
"What were you guys talking about"? I smiled, I think I knew though.
"Nothing". Richie looked embarrassed, ha ha cute.
"Ok". I rolled my eyes. I feel like listening to music.
"Music time"!!! I ran up to my stereo and turned it up really loud then put on music.
"I love this song"! I said.
"What"?! Richie screamed.
"She said to forgive me". What?! I ran back to the stereo and turned the music off.
"Why are you here"? Richie scowled at him.
"Why are you"? Ugh this kid!
"Because he's actually welcome your not barred"!
"I fixed his arm"!
"So"?! Richie and I screamed.
"Can I at least get a thank you"?!
"Thank you, now leave"! I shouted.
"Every time your here we end up fighting"! Richie said while coming way closer to me.
"I'm not the reason you fight".
