It started the day I moved in with my father. My mother was stuck in an internal puppy love with her husband and and I was too old to think they were playing patty cake at nine in the evening while I'm studying. So my dad was the best option.
He had been trying to get me to stay with him sense I was little when they separated but me being a mothers boy chose to stay by my mothers leg. And when I was seven he hopped a plain and left for Brazil and seemed to move on with his life. his phone calls got shorter and more far apart until they just stopped.
Until last week when he called me out of the blue asking if I would like to spend a few weeks with him as a end of summer vacation.
Honestly I just wanted to get out of the house and I mean its fucking Brazil. Hows that for a 'what I did this summer' essay? So I packed and when I arrived I was met with a man I haven't seen in about four years.
He looks just as I remembered. With deep chestnut hair that hung a little ways pasted my ears and stormy gray eye that closely resembled storm clouds.
The moment he sees me his eyes light up.
"Dillon." He says and I smile slightly.
"John." I say and his smile falls. "You know once upon a time you called me dad." He says.
"Yeah and once upon a time you called." I shoot back and he gives me a look that said he didn't know weather to scorn or congratulate me on that comeback. He finally nods slightly before starting to walk from the crowded airport.
"So why Brazil?" I ask as we walk though through the parking lot.
"Why not Brazil its beautiful here." He answers and I frown.
"Did you get the gift I sent you last year." He asks and I frown. Like he ever sent me anything.
"No. Must have gotten lost in the mail." I say and he frowns.
"Ok. I take it you don't like me to much."
"I mean you did just up and leave for ten years without so much as a happy birthday son in which I was partly responsible for."
"I should have called. But your mother tried to cut me from your life."
This annoys me.
"Don't try to put your neglect on my mother." I say and he frowns before sighing.
"I only came to get out of the house and see Brazil." I tell him honestly and he sighs.
"Fine well I have a meeting in half an hour here is enough money to go sight seeing." He says handing me some brightly colored money.
"That's a little over a thousand US so don't get robbed." He says turning away from me.
"Wait what about my luggage? Where do you even live?" I yell to him.
"I mean you spent ten years without me what's one more day." He says not even looking back.
"You're a real asshole John!" I scream at him.
"Where'd you think you got it from Dillon. Tchau. Have fun seeing Brazil." He says waving and soon he's out of sight. I grown. What the hell was I gonna do?
I grab my luggage and start walking. Only to have a black car pull up along side me. I look at the tented windows making it impossible for me to see anyone inside.
Shit, its taken all over again. I think until the window rolls down and theres John laughing like this is funny.
"Get in before I really do leave you out here." He says and I roll my eyes before putting my bags in the back.
