Counting Up The Years (On Hold)

"Eric, stop!" I laughed, shoving him away. Eric is my boyfriend as of today. He asked me out at the park, just above the cliff.

"Nah," he responded, still trying to kiss my neck.

"Ugh, you have to meet my family today. My dad's gonna, like, kill me," I remembered when he told me recently that I couldn't have a boyfriend until I was 18. I didn't care, though. I loved Eric.

"He can deal with it." Eric spoke.

-------

I stepped into the house, Eric following behind me.

"Dad, this is Eric. My boyfriend."

My dad walked over and shook his hand, "nice to meet you..." He sounded distant. Very distant. Angry, almost.

"What did you make for dinner, Dad?" I tucked a piece of my brown hair behind my ear.

"Spaghetti," he walked back into the kitchen. Cold.

I grabbed Eric's hand and pulled him into the dining room, which was next to the kitchen. I sat down at the table and he did so as well.

"I can't wait to get into your pants tonight, babe," he said, no so subtly. He practically yelled that across the room, with my Dad in the next room over...

I heard a crash from the kitchen, followed by, "get the fuck out of my house!" He was staring daggers at Eric.

"Fucking make me, old man."

"Don't talk to my father like that!" I yelled at him.

"I can say whatever the hell I want, shorty," he made fun of my height of 5' 0".

I fake laughed. After all, I still wanted to be with him. I loved him.

"I said get the fuck out of my house!" My father came storming over to him, but he ran away and out the front door before he could get to him.

Then, I received a text.

Eric: Keep your window open tonight ;)

"Kami, get him out of your life. You aren't even old enough to be dating anyway!" My father sat down next to me and started lecturing me.

"Dad! I can make my own decisions! I'm sixteen, for God's sake!"

"He doesn't love you! He loves the concept of love. Either that or he only likes your body!"

"He likes me for more than my fucking body!" I ran my fingers through my hair.

"He doesn't love you, Kami!"

"I don't fucking love you! Stop bothering me and my relationships!" I didn't regret saying that at the time. We stared at each other for a good minute or so.

The room went silent. He had given up?

"I never fucking loved you! Go die for all I care! I'll go live my happy life with Eric while you clean gutters for a living or some shit! Just leave me the fuck alone!" I kept yelling.

"Fine," my father got up, grabbed his keys, and stormed out of the room.

-------

Two hours later, I turned on the TV and the news was already on.

The caption hit me like a ton of bricks.

'BLUE BMW FOUND WRECKED IN DITCH'

The news lady spoke, "a blue BMW was found in the ditch behind where I am standing. Paramedics were called to the scene, but the person that was in the car is pronounced dead..."

Just then, my whole world crashed before me.

I didn't mean it when I said I wanted him to die...

This is the end of the 'age' chapters. They were just there to show you how much she loved her father.

I feel like this chapter was really poorly written for some reason...
