Vic looked up his father, Mike.
"Dad, what are you doing here, "asked Vic.
"I came to apologize for two years ago."
"No, you can't apologize for all that pain that you cost me," said Vic.
"Trust me, I know I've caused you pain and you probably hate me" said Mike.
"No Dad, see that is where you are wrong, I've idolized and adored all my life because you were a good role model for me and carter.I've loved you up until you dangled us out of a window, yes I know you're not mentally, but that doesn't give you the right, to dangle me...out of a 7 story foot building. Ever since then, I've felt that you hated me because you wanted to kill me. I cried for months at the thought of seeing those policemen put you in handcuffs and walk you out of that door. How could you do that to Mom, how could you do that to Carter, and how could you betray me. When I was at the lowest point of my life, I volunteered to go to jail, for a crime I didn't even commit to trying, to hold onto that little hope of seeing you, even for a little while."Vic said as he was interrupted by Mike.
"Son, you could've called me,"
"I tried, I called every jail in the city, in the country, and I never....never got in touch with you, "Vic said as tears started to run down his face.
"Eventually, I started to give up, when I couldn't find you or get in touch with you, I assumed that you were dead.I've tried to kill myself multiple times. Do you know what it feels like to point that gun to your head, and pull the trigger, and not dead, you're still alive? That is embarrassing. All of this, at the thought of my dad, abandoning me."Vic stated.
"Well,Vic,where was Natalie through all of this?"asked Mike.
"I recently found out, that she has been cheating on me, so, two days ago, I Killed her," Vic said as he started to memorize that night.
"Natalie walked into the door with a smile on her face. She found Vic in the room with a gun on his lap, and a knife in his hand. Natalie had a idea of what was about to happen.
"It's 2:35 a.m, and you're just getting home. You told me that you get off of work every evening at 7:00 p.m."
Natalie started to run down the corridor. Vic got up to chase until he finally caught up with her and took her back into the room and as he dropped his knife, he locked the door. Vic picked up his knife and began cutting her arm. Natalie started to fight back until Vic picked up the gun and pointed it at her. He pulled the trigger and Natalie moved just an inch, lucky enough for her to dodge most of the bullet. Some of it still grazed her shoulder.
Vic dropped the gun and realized what he had just done, and started to panic.
"Natalie, oh my goodness, are you okay," Vic asked as he rushed to the bathroom for medical supplies to patch up her wound. Once Natalie's wound was patched up, Vic started prancing around the room, and then finally started to comfort her.
"I'm sorry Natalie, I shouldn't have done that, you know I love you right!" exclaimed Vic, as he went to sleep in Natalie's embrace. By the time the morning came, Vic was back to his terrifying self.
Vic gasped as he broke out of his flashback.
"I'm just like you, I'm mentally unstable too, think about it, I had my breakdown, when I suspected Natalie was going to leave me, "Vic said.
"I had my breakdown when I thought you're mother was cheating on me and you were the one in my sight, so I took it out on you, "Mike explained.
"Dad, we're not mentally unstable, we're just insecure," Vic said.
"Umm...Son, I have something to tell you, I've been out of jail for a year."
"What," Vic said as he let out a surprised look on his face.
