Abandoned Heart

-Night time-

It sucks only being able to go out at night time, but at least I've come up with some things to do over the past seventeen years when I go out with Kaylee. We seem to always go to the same place, it's this amazing juice bar that stays open until three p.m and we stay there sometimes for the whole night, and to you that may sound boring. All my life consists of though is sitting around inside my house and texting, or drawing. So anything that involves being with someone besides my mom outside of my house is a miracle. I always get the mango peach smoothie from the juice bar, Kaylee gets this nasty kiwi strawberry smoothie, its disgusting. I don't know why we usually go to the same place, but we decided to go to the beach this time. The sound of the waves crashing against the sand made me want to fall asleep, I love the beach at night its so calming...peaceful but tonight it was different because after we sat for about thirty minutes, some drunk guys walked up and were like "Hey ladies, wanna have some fun?" All we could do was run away, thank god they didn't chase us.

Kaylee has been with me since I was a baby. When I had to go to that dumb toddler meet thing, Kaylee was there so I've known her since I was four, having her around is the best thing ever. I always hate saying goodbye after we go night time adventuring, tonight was a bad night though. My mother had to work late, so when I got home she was already home, and it was 12:35 p.m and she was pissed because I had to wake up early the next day and take some weird oxygen stuff, because my lungs have been acting up lately. She knows Kaylee well to, but my mother was hoping I'd be home a little earlier so I could wake up feeling refreshed and not all drained from running around with Kaylee. I got in bed at like one though because my mother sat me down and had this long lecture about how its dangerous to be at the beach at such late hours, because we live a couple blocks down from a crazy strip club, and there is always drunk people walking around all over town, and where we live. I still didn't tell her about the guys we saw when we were sitting on the beach. When I woke up the next morning I felt like crap, I look my oxygen and ran back upstairs to grab my phone. Kaylee had texted me, which is weird because she goes to class every morning at like seven. When I read the message my heart dropped, all it said was "Your dad came to my house last night."

Me and my mother had to move because my dad was abusive, but the bad thing is we were all close with Kaylee's family especially my dad and hers. Sometimes my dad would have to stay with them because my parents were always fighting verbally, physically, mentally it was just terrible. I just stood there in shock after I read that message. So all I replied was "Why." What a dumb, stupid reply because about fifteen minutes later Kaylee was sending me paragraphs telling me how Rick, my dad had shown up to there house at like three in the morning asking for a place to stay, and how he was a better man and apologized for the stuff he did in the past, and it was time to get right. I didn't know what that meant.. get right, so Eli, Kaylee's dad told him to stay someplace else because he had hurt Kaylee's mom before. I was terrified that somehow he would find out where I lived and come hurt me or my mother. I walked downstairs to see my mom crying and sitting on the floor, I ran to her and asked what happened and all she said was "Its my fault." Of course I had no clue what she was talking about.

She said that Rick had texted her wanting to meet, my mother denied and asked how he knew where they lived, and he said it doesn't matter if you don't meet I'll end my own life. My mother denied, and she got a call twenty minutes later, my dad had killed himself.
