This is Me

Daddy Dearest

Daddy, come play with me.

I'm busy, so maybe next time.

Daddy, will you help me with my homework?

Hold on sweetie. Go ask one of the maids.

But daddy they don't know how to...

Don't bother me and GO!

Ok Daddy.

Daddy I can't sleep.

Ok then you can keep you lights on.

But daddy I'm scared.

I don't have time for this, I have to go to a meeting tomorrow. Goodnight.

Dad can you drive me to school?

Not today dear, I have an urgent meeting.

But Dad it's snowing... Buses are having delays.

You can walk sweetie, it's not to far a way.

But Dad it's cold and I-

I don't have time for this.

Ok Dad.

Dad, I'm leaving for prom now.

Ok then.

Dad, when do you want me home by?

Anytime is fine, as late as you want.

Oh. Ok then. Do you want to take pictures?

No, that's fine, now go please.

Um ok then Dad.

Will you come to my graduation, Dad?

No, I have to fly to France tomorrow.

Oh but don't worry, I'll-

You'll what? Hire the maid to take pictures?

Ah, you've read my mind

But-nevermind. Bye.

Um, excuse me?

What is it?

I'm leaving...

Where to?

Away.

Where?

Do you care?

Why, what a bizarre question!

What makes you think I don't care?!

I-Nevermind. I'm moving in with a friend, since we are both going to the same college.

College?!

Yes, college.

Well, um okay then.

Ok.

Wait!

What?

A friend?

Huh?

Who are you moving in with?

Oh my boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

Actually, fiancé...

Fiancé! Why wasn't I informed?

I told you dad. But you had a meeting.

Very well then.

Yeah, um sure. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Good.

Bye.

bye.

Sir?

Yes?

It's about your daughter...

Yes?

She's not here anymore.

What do you mean?

She died.

Goodbye.

Sweetie? Are you there? Can you come back.

I'm sorry. I can't. I'm busy. Maybe "next time". Goodbye.
