Tutoring Mr. Player Chapter 12

Another shortie D: I'm sorry! Promise they will be longer soon!

Chapter 12

It is my Dad.

What is my Father doing at the mall when he should be at work? And now here's the larger more important question; WHY THE FUCK is he passing out neon yellow flyers in front of build-a-bear in a giant teddy suit? I think the answer is obvious but quite honestly I don't want to hear the truth.

"Is that your...?" Cristina says sipping at her smoothie disbelievingly.

"Yes." I say my voice razor sharp.

"What is he...?"

"I don't know!" I say and rub my forehead while Cristina stands there mouth agape like a gold fish. I approach him. "Dad what the hell are you doing here!?!" I exclaim snapping him out of his day dreamy stare. He looks terrified of seeing me here. He seems like a stranger.

"i-I..." he stutters, looking rather shocked.

"I what?" I say nearly shouting. He's lost his job. He hasn't told us.

"The buisness went bankrupt." He says glumly. A sheen of sweat coats his forehead, probably from being stuffed in that god awful costume.

I'm stunned. Bankrupt? How could it go bankrupt? "Does Mom know?" I ask my voice still blunt and sharp. I'm keeping my cool much better than I would have imagined.

"Not yet." He looks at the ground as if to deflect from the subject

"You need to." I say calmly.

"NO! I can't yet! She'll be devestated!" he shouts disturbing a few nearby mothers and their children holding brand new teddy bears.

"Soon." I state. "Soon. You can't keep this from her for forever."

"I know but I just need to find a better job and then I'll break it to her." He says.

"She'll know when the paycheck comes."

"I just need more time Autumn! More time!" He says miserably.

I just walk away. I know I must sound incredibly selfish and harsh towards my father. But he's never been around and I haven't formed much of a bond with him ever. He chose his job over me. And that's the worst rejection I've ever experienced.

He's left my Mom crying in her room many nights while he travels off to another country selling his products. We've been alone. He was our lifeline though. If we didn't have him, we'd be screwed. Moms work isn't bringing in as much as it used to, and now Dad has lost his work. 

And I just bought this expensive dress.

I don't know what to do anymore.
