22 years old and I've never had a fight with my dad this bad. Sure, we didn't always agree on everything. But we would always respect each other's opinions and agree to disagree at some point. Let bygones be bygones. That is, until what happened last week.

We haven't spoken since then.

We haven't even been around each other's proximity since then. Instead, we're doing this tedious Avoid Dance of dodging each other in the porch, in the living room, in the dining table and basically everywhere else in the mansion.

It's getting ridiculous.

The other day, Dad actually busted out of one of the glass windows on the second floor so he wouldn't have to pass me in the hallway.

Of course, he does bust out of windows at work from time to time but never at home. Mom set house rules against it when I was nine. And Dad always followed Mom's house rules without question. Even after she passed away, he would never dare break any of her rules...until now.

He's avoiding me. But it doesn't bother me. No.

Who cares if we're not talking? Who cares if he's not eating properly? Who cares if he's overworking himself and not taking his daily vitamins?
