Amnesia | Luke Hemmings

One simple question I want answered

My Father drove very slowly. "You were in the hospital. Yet you called your fucken mother but not me" He said raising his voice. I didn't like being with my father he always scared me. I didn't have any brothers or sisters so I was always suck in the middle when he and Mum had fights. I sat there refusing to answer his question. "Answer me!" He screamed bashing the steering wheel ,I cried "I woke uo with Amnesia! So do you think I would remember to call you" I screamed tears running down my cheeks. He looked at me "How did you end up in the hospital?" He said in a raised tone. "I jumped off a bridge" I said looking at him with a not serious face. He looked at me "Don't fucken Kid with me, how did you end up in the hospital?" "I was hit by a car!" I screamed thinking of Luke right now. "You are a fucken dumb ass you know. You don't think to call your own father"

"And why did you come and pick me up like that? And hit my boyfriend?" I said with a raised voice. He pulled the car over to a halt "I lost your mother, I don't want to lose you" He said quietly "Then get rid of your temper, and anger issues!" I said crying. He looked at me "I have something important to tell you" He swallows "I" He stops and breathes in "Your mother is dead" I shake, my body freezes. I shake my head "No she cant be" My voice stuttering, tears running down my face. My father nods. "She is baby girl. Im sorry" I put my head in my hands. This cant be real. I cry. I haven't seen her in months and now she is dead and I will never see her again. My father starts the car again "How did she die?" I say in a serious voice holding back the urge to scream and cry all at once. My father speaks slowly "She was stalked by someone for a long time. She didn't think about it being serious. But soon it all got to much, she got threatening messages and letters. She committed suicide" My body froze. The rest of the ride to my Fathers house was silent. I thought about my mother the whole time.

We arrived at his house I got out of the car and looked at it. He had such a big house for only him a his dog. He opened the front door and I went inside. I went into the kitchen. His house was so dull. There was no happiness in it. It was a house with no soul. It wasn't very welcoming.

My dad showed me around and shows me where my "bedroom" will be. Im not staying her, even if it kills me. Im going to find a way to get out if here. He takes me into the garage and there is a car sitting there. "This is for you" He said throwing me the keys. "Are you serious?" I asked looking at the nice new car sitting there. I run my hand across the door "Well how else are you going to get around? Im not driving you everywhere" He said smiling. This is his way to suck me up and so I will like him again. Well it is not going to work. I played along "Thank you Daddy" I said hugging him. He smiled "Im glad your happy" I smiled to myself happy to get away. But he doesn't know that.

Later on that evening around 9:30 we sat in front of the tv eating pizza. My father looked at me once he had finished his "Im going to bed now" he said walking over to the kitchen. I nodded "Same" We both walked up the stairs to our bedrooms. We both went our separate ways.

I waited till 11:39 because I knew my father was asleep. I snuck down the stairs quietly and opened the garage. I heard a noise, I thought it might be my father, I wasn't. I opened my car door and pulled out of the garage. My car didn't make much noise so he wont wake up hopefully. The car pulled up the long driveway. I stopped at the top and tried to remember which way to go. I turned right and headed towards the boys house.
