It'll Be Alright

'Hello!'

it was a week before school started. I was by my mom's home alone at about 4:00. My dad called to tell me he was on his way home from work so he should be at my house around 6. 7:30 rolled around and he still wasnt here. i decided to call him and he sad he was 20 min away. but he didnt sound to happy. GREAT!

An hour and a half later he showed up. Like always he was on the phone and ignored me for the first 20 min. He finally got off the phone.

"Im going to yell at you" He said.

"ok?"

then he started telling me that i was a bad influence on my little brother and sister and all this other stuff i was telling him that it was stupid that he was yelling at me and it just made everything worse.

We pulled up to a cousin's and all went in my dad ordered and when the food came out there were only 3 sandwhiches. 1 for my dad, 1 for my sister, and 1 for my brother.

"You didnt get me anything. Really dad?"

And he just stayed silent.

I started yelling at him in the restaurant "Really dad! Really?" and all the workers were staring at us. well mostly me because i was yelling.

And my dad just stayed silent looking at me like he was confused. "Whatever dad!" i went to the bathroom and just cried. i didnt know what to do. i heard someone walk in so i stopped and wiped my eyes and turned around.

it was my little sister. "Im sorry" she said and came up to hug me. i said thanks and she grabbed my hand and walked me to their table. i sat down and didnt look at my dad.  I text my mom and told her what happened and how he didnt get me food. She decided to call me so i stepped out and told her what happened and cried again. she told me every thing will be alright. i told her i loved her and walked back in.

"Why did you have to tell on dad" my little brother said.

"Did you tell him that" I said glaring at my dad.

"Yup." he said looking at his food

"wow! well just so you know that was my friend Alyssa wondering what my lunch schedule was for school next week. She asked me yesterday but i didnt know so i told her i would tell her today!" Again yelling at my dad with the workers looking at me.

He rolled his eyes and said "yeah ok."

I just looked at my sister and she told me to calm down. My dad got himself some soup but didnt finish it. he offered it to my brother and he said no so he gave it to my sister. Really? What an asshole! When we.. i mean they were all done eating my sister looked at me and offered me her sandwich and her soup. MY LITTLE SISTER! She knew it was wrong of my dad to do this to me! The rest of the weekend we spent avoiding eachother. i went to my moms on Sunday and it was about 2 weeks later when i heard from my dad. he asked me about school and that was it. it was about another week before we spoke again and i called to ask if i could take my little sister to a party and he said sure.

The day after the party i was at my nanas house and my dad left to come get my sister. i reminded him to bring me his laptop because i need it for school. he said ok im leaving now. it was about 15 min later when he called

"Are you at your house?"

"No. Im at nanas, im sorry i forgot to tell you."

"What the Fuck!?" and he hung up.

 i tried calling him back but he wouldnt pick up but he was responding to my sisters texts. Hes ignoring me again really?

he pulled up and i ran out there.

"Dad, im sorry i forgot." He held the laptop out of the window

"Dad!"

"Get in the car Dorian, Now!" was all he said. my sister got into the car.

"I havent seen you in 3 weeks and you cant even say hi to me?" He just looked away and my nana came out asking what happened and i told her i forgot so she yelled at me. and i told her to stop and i turned to my dad.

"Your really not going to say anything?" He didnt even look at me.

"Dad please!" I was already in tears just waiting for him to talk. but he put the car in reverse and i yelled. "ok see you in a couple months... Maybe!" and he just left. i went in the house and called my mom when i heard her voice i busted out in tears.

I told her what happened while crying. "Mom, he didnt even say hi. i told him i was sorry and he wouldnt even look at me! I actually hoped after 3 weeks he missed me and wouldve came out to appologize but he just left." I havent cried this hard since my dog of 11 years was put to sleep. I just cant handle all the pain with my dad anymore.

i asked my mom if i could just stay with her. i didnt want to see my dad anymore. she of course agreed. I was still upset about everything but i just needed a sign that everything will be alright... One morning i woke up for school and walked out of my room. and in the living room is a box full of baby toys. i walked past and i heard one of the toys go off it said "Hello!" i didnt pay much attention to it i just thought i bumbed the box. so i finished getting ready and the house was quiet i could hear my mom toss and turn on the couch it was so quiet. i walked into the living room and went to grab my shoes. "Hello!" the toy went off again. but i know i did not bump the box! it was quiet and it said "How Are You?" I was just standing their in shock. This toy is just going off!.

i got home from school that day and i sat down by my mom.

"The strangiest thing happened to me this morning." She said

"What happened?"

"When i went to wake you up one of the toys went off saying 'Hello!'" I completely forgot what happened this morning.

"It did the same thing for me! but it only went offf if i was in the living room!"

"After you left this morning it didn't go off again. it just stopped."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I think It was Megan saying hello and checking in on us." I looked up and smiled then and their i knew for sure everything was going to be alright.
