As I pull into the drive way of the house I once called my home, I look over at shinsou he looks... normal? How is his heart not racing? How is he not anxious? He looks back at me as if I'm a ghost and says "kitty, earth to kitty, are you ok? You're really pale". I focus my attention to him "y-yeah I'm fine." I'm really not. I'm starting to wonder if this was a good idea but before I could get a second thought I look up to see dad waiting at the door. Looking angry as ever. I try to pretend to fumble with the keys to buy myself a few minutes to control my over active heart. I can hear the thudding in my ears, as if God himself is banging a drum in my ear. Whilst I've been listening to God's drum solo, dad made his way to the car window. He looks like a cop. He stands taller than the window leaving me to look up to him. Something I thought I would never do again. Not because he is shorter than but because he left an imprint. Too say the least.

I roll down the window to try an start a conversation, I say in a serious tone "no officer I don't know how fast I was going" as an attempt to make him laugh. Maybe crack a smile. Maybe a wince of "hey kitty I don't hate your guts". But no. He. Just. Stares.
"Fine" I say getting out of the car.
"Please. Just. Say. Something." I think as he is staring at me intensely.

He looks me dead in the eyes and says "Really after almost 3 years you come here and make a joke?" And rolls his eyes as he walks away.

I look down and think to myself

"I'm done for"
