Finding Dad

Truth Against Lies

Kevin came into Jonas's room enraged with anger slamming the door behind him. His fists scrunched into balls and his face red leaving his eyes bluer then usual.

"Get out!" he yelled bending down to toss clothes into Jonas's bag. Silently cursing and chastising himself.

"I don't understand we just got here and-"

"You heard me get out of my house now!" Kevin threw the bag at Jonas.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me why I have to go!" Jonas grabbed the man by his thick hairy arm only for him to be flung off.

"She is here! she flowed you and now... I just can't have you here anymore! Get out before I call the police!" just as Kevin finished the door to Jonas's bedroom slammed shut in Kevin's face. He pulled on the knob twisting fanatically then pounding hardly.

"She did this! You did this!" Kevin faced Jonas straight in the face with a almost murderous expression on his face.

"What is going on! Tell me!" Jonas shook Kevin's shoulders until the grown man lost it breaking down into tears.

"I can't explain my actions only express my story. Your mother and I were friends since preschool, we did virtually everything together. But as we grew older we also grew apart. By the time we got to the senior year of high school a conversation between us was rare. That was until one night at the Senior Bonfire. That night me and her talked all night catching up and sharing memories. We started dating the following week and I was the happiest I had ever been in my life." Kevin looked across the room at a necklace that sat up on a shelf next to a high school class photo. "Well her parents didn't approve of me and had actually planed on her marrying a big collage honor student, Blake King. My heart broke and I started to do things I should have avoided, things that ended me up in the hospital. Then about seven years after we had been separated by her parents we found each other again. She was married and had a kid and I was engaged to a struggling doctor fresh out of medical school. But still we acted as if we were still in high school. Our relationship lasted for months. But it was in the third month when Teddy told me she was pregnant, I was panicked but overjoyed at the same time." Kevin stopped again to catch his breath.

"We planned to run away that night, with you of coarse. But Blake found out and kept her away from me. He moved you two away from me without knowing about the baby, my baby. My child grew up away from me! I came to the house multiple times only to be beaten by your father. But one night I planed to take your mother, you and your sister away from that cage. I broke in and started to pack her things jewelry, clothes and pictures in a duffle bag. Then I saw a person behind me I panic thinking it was Blake and fired off my gun, I had no idea it was loaded. After that I heard you and I ran for it only getting one glimpse of who I really killed, your mother." Kevin cried a little after that his story somehow angered Jonas.

"You knew it was her! She was screaming she called out for my dad! She loved him!" he cried kicking his foot to the door.

"Do you wanna know where your daughter is now? My beloved sister is dead!"

"Because of him! Do you really think a man can drive off a cliff by accident?" Kevin looked Jonas in the eye as he clutched the collar of his shirt.

"It was raining and dark he couldn't see..." Jonas defended his fathers actions.

"He left you! If he had done something she could have lived but instead she payed the price!" Kevin dropped Jonas and leaned against the wall breathing heavily between tears.

"How did you know he left us? The doctors they said it was classified everything."

"Because I called the ambulance for you." with that the door opened by itself as if to let all tension release from the room.
