"Ma'am" I shoot awake 'shit' I think to myself I slept at the library late again. I really want to meet dad but damn I spent the entire day at the library to finish my assignment. The librarian is practically part of my family now. Shooting me a sympathetic look the librarian ushers me towards the door because of closing time. I rub my eyes and glance at my phone. 32 missed calls and 102 messages from dad. I quickly grab my stuff and rush to my car. 

As I open the door to my house it's nearly 10 o'clock at night. I hope dad isn't awake - yet I somehow know he is.

"Where do you think you were Andrea Blair!?" dad's booming voice reaches me even in the garage. Mentally preparing an excuse I go up to him and lose all my words after I see his face. His eyes were bloodshot red, his bushy brown eyebrows were in a jumble, his thin lips are in a scowl. "I thought I lost you just like your mother!" he said "I can't lose you too, you're the only person I have left in this world." guilt rushes over me.

"I'm sorry." I choke out. "I lost track of time I was too busy doing my assignment. I... I..." Warm hands wrap themselves around me. "I'm so so sorry, I promise I won't do it again"  

"It's okay baby girl. I was just worried sick about you. Anyway, let's get you fed and asleep. looks like you need it."  

Not arguing over that I quickly eat my dinner and head to bed. The last thing I register is my dad kissing me on the forehead and then my world fades to dark.
