when you left me

Part 1

TEXT CONVO :

*maya*

hey dad. its been four months since you left and you have destroyed our family. mum won't leave the house and won't stop talking about how she is such a bad mother. sofia (my younger sister) started her first year at elementary school last week and the father and daughter dance is coming up. i can't keep lying to her saying you will be there ! she is going to be devastated if you are not here for it so please, please come back. As for me, last year at uni and it's stressful. i'm running the family and i am getting no sleep staying up studying. i don't have a life, my friend, mums friends, even sofia's friends are doing things and we are not.we cannot do anything with them because we are still trying to fill up the space you left. we have no money and some nights don't get food and don't even have enough school supplies! please dad we need you. Maya.

i was in chemistry class when i heard and felt a buzz in my back pocket . i dont really have a life nor that many friends so i came to the conclusion that it was my dad responding. i glance at the clock to see we only have another 40 minutes left of class and then i have the rest of the day off. for the rest of class i could not focus, i dosed off thinking of sofia's face when dad comes home. RING-RING-RING. THE BELL!
i sprint back to my dorm (which thankfully was close). i shared a dorm with my best friend and i guess my only friend Stella.
i am not a very sporty person and as i rest my hand on the dorm door i stand for a minute or two regaining my breath from running up 7 flights of stairs. i walk-in to a warm welcome form stella! i haven't seen her for two weeks.

"hey omg maya i miss- what's wrong"

i knew my face expression had changed. i opened my phone and saw the text. 

a tear ran down my face and felt sadness come over me
