(july 21st 2037)

it was 3:10 Am and i couldn't sleep, so many questions haunted my head

Why did my father leave us?

Why did he never come back?

Did i do something wrong? Did he love someone else? Was he wanted? Was he even alive?

in the mean time it was 6 o'clock and i had to get up in 30 min.

i got out of my bed, took a shower and ate my breakfast. When i was ready it was 7:30 Am

i went to school with my mind on zero, the questions from last night still haunted me.

"Mrs Russet!" my history teacher yelled

i schocked. I totally forgot that I was in history class but the subject was so boring that I didn't even listen.

"what is the answer to question 12C?" she asked

"i dont know i wasn't paying attention.." i said softly

"see everyone this is what you get when you stay up late and play games on your phone all night and stalk your friends on intagram" she said

the whole class laughed

"but i wasn't even on my phone, i was thinking about..."

"Probably your invisible father who doesn't love you!" someone yelled from the back

My heart dropped into my stomach and i felt the tears in the corner of my eyes.

"Why are you crying?" the teacher asked

"it's complicated" i sobbed

"her father left her because she is an awful child, that's why he is with someone else" another person screamed

i sank into my seat, that entire lesson everyone kept looking and laughing at me.

after this awful day of school i went home early.

i walked the entire way from school to my home (55 min)

i openend my front door, threw my bag in the hallway, opened the door to the living room and saw my mom sitting at the kitchen table with a book.

i stood in front of her, took the book out of her hands and looked her straight in the eyes:

"Who is my father" i asked
She sighed

"go sit down, it's time you know everything"
