Our Little Infinity

Chapter 5

I get home from school and plop down on the couch. Ahh. I'm done for the day. I just lay there watching the fan until I remember I need to check on Dad. Great.

I walk slowly up the stairs and open his door. He is facing the window and is on the phone. I shut the door quietly and pus my ear up against it.

"I don't think they'll care."

"Why would I care about what Kristen says? She's a terrible person. She is not the kid I wanted."

"Fine, mom. I'll still tell them. And fine I won't say that about my child again."

"OKAY BYE!"

Wow. What a dad he is. I think to myself. I wipe of the flowing tears and build up the courage to walk in.

"Hey dad. Do you want some-"

"Leave me alone. Go be the loner you are." That's it.

"Just because Mom died doesn't mean you have to treat me like this. It is not my fault she died. Don't you dare say it is. Sure I showed her a picture but she didn't need to look at it. Knowing her she would've blamed it on her self of she were here. So how about you leave me alone. Don't treat me like a piece of trash I am far more. The way you're going at it, you're the piece of trash here." And with that I walk downstairs and to my car to pick up Travis.

/time lapse/

In the car I have a conversation with Jesus.

Dear Jesus,

I am very sorry for acting that way to my father. I'm just sick of being treated like I'm... nothing. It hurts to know that my father doesn't care about his own daughter. Sure I'm not perfect but fathers should not care if I am or not. It's terrible. Please accept this apology.

Love,

Kristen

After my prayer and a few minutes after I arrived at the elementary school, Travis opens the door and sits down.

"How was your day Trav?"

"It was good,"

"Good."

It's a good thing that he isn't as miserable as I am.
