My Short Stories

As I Watch

I was standing there and watching her walk from window to window inside of the house.

She seemed troubled by something unknown, was it because I called her this late?

I wondered to myself as she took clothes out of her closet. Was she going to leave me once more?

My face changed from confused to complete anger as I finally realized she was going to leave me again.

So I took out my cell phone and called her once more. I watched her run out of her bedroom and after a few seconds, she was in the living room.

She picked up the phone and said "Dad, are you on your..." I quickly cut her off by saying, "You're leaving me again? Why? What did I do to make you leave me again?"

I could see the fear on her face as she yelled, "Leave me alone?" I then started to walk closer to the house as I said "You took stuff out of the closest and put them in a suitcase, I saw you do it."

The fear was still there as she looked around her and then she looked around outside saying "Where are you?"

I smile as I lightly opened her front door saying "You know where I am."

By now I could hear and see her crying as she said into the phone, "Please, leave me alone!"

I then turned my body so it was facing the living room and said out loud, "Why would I ever do that?"

She spun around quickly which caused her beautiful brown locks to fly as she spun.
