Its been 7 day's since my dad called, I didn't recognise him since I never really saw him growing up since he left so early. I understand he was probably scared cause he was only 18 when I was born but mum was 17 and she had to raise me on her own, by the way think she did a great job. But he had no right to leave her. My birthday is coming up in a 2 days and i'm really excited because every birthday mum always makes my favourite dinner, cheese burger nachos! now it sounds kind of gross but it is amazing!
It was 8am and mum left 30 minutes ago to go to work so I just sat down on the sofa and watched some tv, I was in the middle of watching my favourite show 'friends' when I heard a car pull up outside, I ran towards the door and looked through the peep hole. I thought mum had forgotten her wallet or phone again but it wasn't her car. The door then opens slowly like in a really dramatic action movie and I see him. My dad, dressed in all black with a red top hat.
He walked around the back of his car and opened the boot. Maybe he was planning to kidnap me or worse... I then see him grab a parcel then shut the boot and walk towards are front door. I turn around so my back is facing the door, I lean up against it and slowly slide down it until i'm sitting on the floor. The man, who abandoned me and my mum is right there. The man that put us through so much pain, the man I wrote cards for fathers day hoping he would come home. But he never did, and now 15 years later he has the guts to walts up here and pretend everything is okay! I then feel the door move as he knocks on it. I stay quiet, he doesn't deserve to see me not after everything he did. The banging stops and I hear his foot steps fade away. I then hear the car engine roar as he drives away. I dig my face into my hands and start crying. Did I do the right thing? He is my dad?
I finally manage to pick myself up off the ground and open the door to which I see the parcel that he grabbed from his car, I pick it up and carry it inside. It was just a plain brown box with a white envelope sat on top, I grab the envelope and turn it around 'Happy 18th my baby' I start crying and decide I should wait for mum to come home
*3 hours later*
I have been starring at the box for ages waiting for mum to come home. Finally I hear a knock on the door I jump up and look through the window and there she is, my beautiful mum, she has long wavy black hair and her eyes are a shade a grey, she has bags under her eyes but she always does. I open the door and she gives me a kiss on the check. I then tell her how dad came over and dropped of a present but I waited for her to come home to open it. She said "i'm impressed he even remembered" I let out a little giggle then start walking back towards the table where to box was. She sat down next to me and told me to open the card. It was a plain white card with the words 'your 18' on it. I open it to find $100 worth of cash and paragraphs of writing, I begin to read
Happy 18th baby girl I have missed you like crazy over these years and there wasn't a second you were not on my mind, I am sorry I left, I was scared I didn't know what to do. I understand you are hurt but I hope that we can try fix our relationship, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me
It seemed to go on forever so I shut it before I got caught up in it. "He's fake" I said "I don't need him or his cash, mum I'm giving you this because all these years he has never payed child support and I know you struggle but you always do whats best for me, so take this and treat yourself please" She looked at me and smiled then broke down crying "how did I get so lucky" she said. I gave her a hug then started taking the tape of the box. I opened the tabs and looked inside, It was full of white foam. I threw my hands inside searching for something, anything, until I touch a nice warm piece of fabric I pulled it out, it was why don't we merch, I squealed a little then joked "a top ain't gonna make up for 17 years" we both laughed a little then I saw a sticky note attached to the top
I new you really liked them so it's the least I can do for you (: Look at the bottom of the box
I looked at mum confused then tilted the box to find another envelope which was taped to the bottom. I ripped it of and opened it, there it was a ticket to heaven/why don't we concert but really they are the same to me. My mum held me tight "I'm sorry I couldn't get you that ticket i'm so so sorry baby" I hugged her even tighter then looked up at her "mum, your my best friend and no one can win me over from a ticket to a concert, I won't go if you want" "no no don't, you have been non stop going on about this band since forever and i'm happy for you, it just sucks because I wish I could have done something to make you this happy". "Mum" I said, you put a roof over my head, you feed me, make me smile everyday and there is nothing that can beat that, you are my world mum" She begins crying again then looks up at me, "shouldn't you start packing"? we laugh then I race up stair and grab my bag
