Chapter 7 - My father is dead to me

From the time of the incident there has been x years now i am in 6th grade from that day on Alicia never spoke to me again and was afraid to even go near Noel. Things got to the point where she decided to change school due to her fear. I somehow felt bad for her . Though she was evil but looking at her scared face staring at Noel was something new to me.

Now as a sixth grader i had more responsibilities now my mum talked to me more. From the moment i was born i was showered by the love of my mom and brother. But mum always felt a bit distant from me. I guess due to the accident and the fear from my fathers family. Who by the way i have never met. He never even came to meet me or brother. Mom never even showed me any pictures of him.

But people started asking me about my father. The only one whom i had told the full story was Noel. Who after listening to what they had said stiffened. But to his suprise i answerd calmly by stating 'He is dead'.

Everyone felt bad for asking. Only Noel was shocked at my statement. He knew my dad was alive but why was i saying he was dad so he confronted me.

''Why did you say your father is dead?? We both know he is alive.'' said Noel in an angry tone

''Maybe because he is dead to me. Let's not talk about this right now i don't feel like fighting with you so please stop.'' after i said that i continued walking home with Noel and we did not say another word.

What i did not expect was that my statement had been heard by my homeroom teacher who had then contacted mom. The teacher knew my dad was alive. So my angry mum was waiting for me at home.

''How was school today Anna??'' asked mom

''Same as always . What do we have for lunch mom?'' after i said that i saw my mothers face she was angry so i stopped saying anything.

''Ana we need to talk. Why did you say that your father was dead?? You know he is alive.''

''Well i doubt that''

''What do you mean ??'' said mom furiously

''You really wanna know what i mean '' i paused for a moment and than continued'' He is dead to me. You know why cause if he was really a father he would have come to see me meet me. Do you know how i feel when see everyone with their dads while i don't even know how my dad looks. All i know is that he abandoned me when i was still in your belly. He probably never even cared about me . '' i started sobbing

My mother and my brother who had just come back home were left shocked.

''Do you know how it feels wanting to have a dad. Knowing your dad exists but he could not care less about me. Cause if he did he would be here.'' i continued sobbing

My mother was left speechless. She barely pulled herself together to answer me .

''Anna you know your father has a new family. He cannot be here for us . I've told you this before.''

''So his new wife and children are more important than i am .Why am i so unlucky brother got to meet and know dad while don't even know how my father looks. So yes to me he is dead.'' and so i left and locked myself in my room.
