So after a couple of days my dad got more depressed than ever because he knew mum was seeing a business guy behind his back even though they have broken up, their relationship is really weird to be totally honest with you , it surprises me how they still judge each other with their own stupid choices and get jealous when either of them are going out with someone else.
--------------------------

I woke up to see a room which looked like it have been wreaked by a inhuman thing. My room. I rubbed my sore eyes remembering nothing but my book with drawings in. I sprawled my feet out of my covers and headed off to my mums tidy cupboard.

"Hmm what to wear, what...to...wear..."
I whispered to myself.
I ran my fingers through the different fabrics and linings while my head was thinking of an outfit that would most probably not be in this cupboard.
Once I picked out a basic denim tank top and some cute shorts i dragged my feet out of mums bed room and down the steps to see a random person standing their. I froze, the thin figure was facing the other way so I could not see the identity of this random person standing in the presents of my home, I grabbed the closest thing to me...
Dad's gun...
Yes first of all my dad has a gun but he never uses it and it's only for emergences. So I can use it ,it's an emergence now isn't it!

"Hay!" I shouted getting the random persons attention.
The stick like figure turned slowly looking straight down at dads gun with wide eyes.

"Now ,now miss you don't wanna do that.." He said slowly as he got closer to me.

"SIT DOWN!!" I warned him shouting more than what I did the last time.
He took my directions seriously this time and say straight down with out saying another word.
It was silent, an awkward one too shall I add. I just stood their while time to time I would glimpse over at the middle aged man in front on me and find him staring at my top or shorts
I coughed to get his attention,

"So what are you doing here in MY house at..." I checked the old clock on the wall before carrying on the sentence " 7:00 in the morning?!?" I looked at him in a way to make him feel uncomfortable.

"Er...we'll ..." The man who I still don't know the name of looked at the table stumbling on his words.

"We'll hello Dan!" The squeaky morning voice of my mother came out of the living room into the kitchen, looking at me strangely with the gun in my hand.

"Hi beautiful." The thin man who I'm guessing his name is dan stood up to greet my mum with a kiss.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" She seemed surprised.

"We'll I am here to pick you up for our little getaway together" Dan added a wink. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and scoff at my mum and this guy.
She gave Dan a hug and told him to sit down for a tea while she gets changed upstairs.

"Soooo... Dan man! " I looked at him coldly, making sure to irritate him with his new nickname that I will now call him.

"Hi..erm...Angelina?...your mums told me ...er...a lot about you I guess." He added half a smile to the end of that while he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck.

"Yeah.." I didn't really bother replying much he's not worth my time.Dads much better than this jerk.
--------------------

Shortly after a while my mum left in Dans sleazy car and buggered off somewhere else while I could not give a damn where they went or did.

"DAD! ARE YOU HERE?!?" Silence was all you could hear.
I got my lazy ass off the stupid wooden chair and sat my ass on the sofa in the living room turning on our old TV.

"COME TO LAS VEGAS WERE THE LUXURY LIFE IS SPECTACULAR AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY!" My head shot up looking at our little TV screen in shock

"I NEED to go their.." I talked to myself sitting cross legged on the comfy chair I was sitting in.

"Need to go where may I ask?" My dad came through the kitchen with two beers an chucked one at me , as I did a little smile to myself as I caught the beverage in my hands.

"Ohh ermm just to...Vegas" I said the last part quietly as I hoped my words were not heard.

"Yeah...sure you are Hun,we don't have the type of money to even step foot into a restaurant so that's most probably in your dreams ..." I just looked at the TV while opening the fresh beverage in front of me.

"sorry pal." He saw my facial expression and patted my back lightly while giving me a hopeful smile.
I didn't say anything until a TV show came filling the silents between us to.

"So where's your mumma gone too?" He looked at me with a straight face as I gave him a sorrow look. He sighed.

"He's with ...ermm...Dan?" I said trying to remember that mans name.

"Oh..." Dad sat facing the screen showing no expression to what I just said.
------

Moments passed, TV shows after TV shows and dad still held the same expression while he traveled to the kitchen and back getting more beverages.

"Dad?" I say sincerely tapping his shoulder.
He turned his whole body to face me and sat cross legged on the couch we where sitting on.

"An... Their are bad and good people out there in this world. And I believe that you will make It in this world so experience it kid. " he had his eyes on me the whole time he was pouring his heart out to me.

"I need you to know, that sometimes you might feel like you found the one but you haven't . Just keep running An....and love only the ones you trust and love." It was silent again this time I just could not speak.

"Trust me one thing An..." Dad patiently waited for my reply.

"Yeah.." I simply added.

"Stay sweet." Dad got up and grabbed his gun and put it straight in my hands.
He winked at me cheekily and added.

"I love you Angelina with all my heart."

Then my dad was gone I never saw his car or him again.
