"That's too long,Carter! A year without you it'll be like hell!" I blurted out. Carter stands in my living room emotionless. "One year will be over before you know it."
"What about school? You'll be graduating." I said. "Precisely,I'd be graduating in a couple of days. So, there's nothing to do but prepare."
"You can't go. I don't want you to leave." I started crying. "Hey, don't cry. I'll be back before you know it." I hugged him tight. After getting back last week from Ashley's family resort Carter was being sent to France due to his father's business. I know I'm over reacting but you can't blame me, I need Carter.
"Please don't go." He wore a pained expression on his face. "You know I have to do this. After Four years I'll be taking over the company."
"FINE! GO!" I pushed him and left. "Where are you going, Moe?" I hailed a cab leaving him shouting my name.
"Take me to Burham Rehabilitation Center." He nodded. When the car came to a stop I noticed a flashy car in the carpark. "Here to see your father?" I nodded at the lady.
I opened the door and I saw my dad brushing a guy's hair. "You grown too fast boy." My head is messed up.
Something is not right here how can dad said that?
"Dad?" He looked at me. Surprised by my presence. "Moe.."
"How.. What.. Explain!" He woke up and looked at dad. "Dad?" The guy looked at me with the same expression as him. "Moe!"
"E-Evan..." I looked at him with surprise.
"Dad! Explain to me what's going on!" I demanded. "Moe, Evan is my first child. Before I marry your mother I got Evan. Then a year before you're mom died. His mom and I had an affair. Moe, Don't judge me." I stared at Evan. It pained me to hear all this.
Too much information. It's stressing me out. Dad's other woman. "So, that's that.. You're the reason for mom's death. You know she can't be stress but you go and had an affair.. with his mother!." I run away like I always do.
Why is this happening now? Everything is falling to pieces. Carter and my love for dad.. everything..slipping through my fingers. They're slipping easily like I can't control it.
"Why are you sulking in a place like this?" I look up to find Alexander. "Why are you here?" I turn away.
"I'm the first to asked.. Why are you sulking here?" He sat next to me. Head tilted. "Letting out my anger."
He hummed.
"What about you?"
"I'm on my way home and I saw you walking like a zombie. I bet you didn't noticed that you bumped to me. You're too dwell into your little world to notified me."
"I'm okay. You go on your way." He leaned my head to his chest. "No. I'll leave you when I assured you're really okay. I know there's a lot on your mind. One is Carter's sudden departure." I was silent. But his words made my poker face fell onto ground, "Scream it out or cry . Don't stop until that feeling wore off your system."
"I can't.." He looked at me as if he's reading my mind. "I'll pretend to be a wall. I'll pretend like I can't hear you or just let it out." I tried to scream but it's voiceless. "I don't know how."
He stood up and placed his hands on both side of mouth, "YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!" He shouted loud and clear. "Just like that. Go on try."
I copied his position and screamed on top of my lungs, "I HATE YOU DAD!!!!!" He laughed hard.
"You shouldn't hate your dad. He's a really nice guy."
"You don't understand my reasonings for hating my father."
"I'll try. Just speak, I'm here to listen."
I sighed. "You're so stubborn."
I bit my lower lips and sighed, " Okay. You see, Dad had an affair with Evan Regalia's mom. you know him, right?" He nodded.
"He said he was his first child. I thought about it. Maybe dad got her pregnant and he and mom had something. You know going on between two people that's why he can't be with her. He was the cause of mom's sudden death. He knows she can't be stressed, but he still had an affair with her. It's unforgivable."
"Moe, listen. I'm not teaming with you or your dad but look, he is also responsible for Evan. Though he had a lover he still chooses to be with your mom. Because he loves you."
"No! it's because he can't be with her! Because that cheap contemptible woman is married with someone else." His sighed echoed in my ear. Long and deep.
"You won't see the truth if you keep on being a bigot." He stood up and left.
