~Baby blue~ [Larry x Sally]

Confronting Dad

After arriving back to the apartments from my day out with Larry and Lisa it's finally time to confront my dad about everything.. I give Larry one more kiss goodbye and tell him that I'll be going back down to his apartment for the night after having the talk with my dad before hopping in the usual rundown looking elevator and press the warn out fourth floor button. As the elevator comes to a stop the yellow from the lights creeps it's way through the gap in the door getting brighter the more they open, I step out on the hard carpeted floor and notice the door to my apartment is open, meaning either my dad forgot to shut it or he's been expecting me.. walking closer to the apartment I see all the lights are on and the faint sound of the TV playing can be heard from inside.
"Dad..?"
The floor beneath my feet creeks as I make my way inside, the smell of beer still lingering from the many drunk nights my dad spent in this apartment since we moved, I slowly turn the corner to find a not as drunk dad sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. I let out a sigh and sit next to him, his head moves up and looks at me as I sit, his eyes are bloodshot as if he has been crying, so much must be on his mind at the moment..
"Dad.. Are you ok?"
He pulls me into a hug, it's been a while since he's been this close to me, last time I had a proper hug from him was just after mom died on my first birthday without her.. when we got Gizmo.. I hesitate for a while before hugging him back, we stay like that for a while before he pulls back, looking me in the eyes once again.
"Sal.. you know I do love you right..? If I didn't I wouldn't be doing everything that I am just so you're happy.."
I tilt my head to the side slightly, confused on what he means..
"Y'know the thing is Sal.. you know Lisa.. I Well.. I've liked her for a while now and I hate myself for starting to move on from your mother but I know she'd want this.. but because you and her son are now apparently going out I've pushed all my feelings aside so you can feel the love I once had for your mother. I don't care if you like a girl, boy or whatever I only care about you being happy, and I know I'm not the best father in the world and I know it doesn't seem like it but I care about you kid.. I've already lost one ray of sunshine in my life.. I don't want to lose another.."
Tears fill my eyes listening to my fathers words.. I can't help but embrace him close as the tears run down my face. He holds me in his arms as I softly cry into his shoulder.. he really does love and care about me...
