Life Too Quickly (prologue story)
22 parts Complete "Dad!" I yell as I walk into the house. I'm greeted by nothing, except silence. My dad is rarely home, I don't know what I am expecting. Ever since my mom died, he's been nothing but distant with me. I mean, he was always distant, even before mom passed, but before, I thought that he just didn't care about me, now... I know he doesn't.
**********
"Hello?" I say through the phone, grabbing a cloth, running it through the faucet, and pressing it against my knee.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I hear a chorus of people yelling through the crackly phone. I start to laugh.
********
My mom had died.
My dad is an alcoholic that doesn't care about me.
I have three best friends.
One new friend (Who's a bartender/stripper/lesbian).
A great job as a DJ at this amazing club.
And a whole new idea to get away from my dad and stop holding on to the past.
**********
"It called and emancipation," she said through the phone, laughing, knowing that I was anxious.
What the HELL is emancipation!? How can it get me away from my dad!?
********
Then I meet him.
