Now that spring break is over.
I can't believe how two weeks just went like that.
Now we are going to school tomorrow urgh bore....
my mom comes downstairs from her room, looking like a million bucks. She's going on a date with her stripper fiance. if they get married, my step dad is gonna be known as a "stripper".
That's great! From a dead dad to a stripper step dad. so awesome!
Note the sarcasm.
" hey honey can you help clean my room today? I am going on a date with Bobby. I'll be back by 4" she said.
Bobby is her stripper fiance.
I nodded a yes then she left.
I get the brooms and head up to my mom's room.
i start by making the bed , then I arranged her room, then started sweeping. As I stick the brush under the bed, I heard a thump. I looked underneath and I saw a brown box with a note that says, " childhood memories with Avery".
I dragged out the box and opened it up. The first picture that was there, was a pic of my mom and I with a strange man that looks exactly like me. I raised up my brows.
Who's this man? Why is he holding me and why does he look like me?
Then I looked at the back of the pic and there was a writing there which says,
"Avery and I's day out with her dad"
WHAT the hell?
My dad?
But Mom said he killed himself before I was born but this was taken after I was born.
wait... Does this mean she lied to me? she's been hiding my dad?
what the hell is going on here?
*******
At 4pm,
I hear the jiggling of keys which shows my mom is home.
Finally!
" honey I'm ho...." she stopped as she looked at me and saw me in tears. she runs to me and hugs me.
" who's this man in the picture?" I asked, showing her the photo.
Her eyes looked like it was about to pop out of her head, her lips are quivering. her body is shaking.
SHE IS GUILTY.
"Honey where'd you get the picture from?" she asked me, trying to get the picture back.
"Answer me! who's this man ?" I yelled.
she sighed in defeat.
"it's your dad, Avery."
That sentence shattered me.
My dad?
but he's supposed to be dead.
" but you said...." she cuts me off. " yes I know I said he's dead but he's not. Look Avery, your dad wasn't ready for a child so when I had you, he said I should just lie to you and tell you he was dead so you won't feel bad." she said and I feel like strangling her right now.
" I won't feel bad? you told me that he killed himself cause he didn't want me. so tell me how you want me to not feel bad. you lied to me for eighteen years. you told me he didn't want me so he killed himself, only for me to find out that my dad's alive and he's somewhere in this planet, enjoying and probably he has forgotten that he has a child while I'm here feeling like a bastard cause I didn't know I had a dad" I shouted and my mom tried to talk.
" just shut it. I don't wanna hear anything you have to say. YOU'RE THE WORST MOM EVER!" I said before storming upstairs and slamming my room door really hard.
