Chereads / Lost in the Perils of Heartbreak (TMP2) / Chapter 42 - Who will be his Savior

Chapter 42 - Who will be his Savior

The further we got away from the place the better I began to feel. Emotionally I was a wreck. Was I about to lose my father again? He was doing awful things. Realizing he was evil made me want to hate him all the more. I couldn't though. I wanted to. I wanted to go back to that moment when I decided to return home. I wanted to make a different choice. I want things to be normal. Never in my life did I want such awful events to occur. It felt like my heart would forever be breaking and yet when I couldn't feel as I do now I wanted to return to that blankness. It would be easier. "Lupus, Lupus can you hear me? Lupus?" My newfound uncle was asking as he drove us farther away in his truck. I looked back at where the school would be. It was so far in the distance that I couldn't tell if my father had made it out alright or not. I wanted to jump out and return. To save the man I thought I knew. I couldn't take it. "Let's go back! We have to go back and help him!" I shouted still getting used to my hearing returning. It was weird that the creature, whatever it was affected me in such a way. I thought I knew what pure terror was but I didn't. Not until now. When my father's life hangs in the balance of his evil doings. Maybe this was karma for what he had done. I didn't want it to end this way and my mother who would save them? "Lupus I'm sorry but we can't go back. Your father knows what he is doing and so does everyone else there. They're all trained to handle a situation like this. even if it has never happened before. They'll be alright." He said trying to reassure me but the look on his face said it all. The grip he had on the steering, his knuckles turning white. "We must keep going. the farther we get away the better for our safety he said. He didn't look like he believed his own words not even for a second. He couldn't even look me in the eye. I began to understand why his own son hated him. What if that is the future me and my father have to look forward to if he survives this fight? "What about my mother? what about your own son and his girlfriend? will they be alrignt too?" I asked him. "Liam and rose are already gone they left on their own accord and your mother is in a safe place she'll be okay. Theyll all be okay, they have to be." that was the last thing he said before he switched on the radio, staring straight ahead. The destination unknown. I had no clue what kind of adventure I was in for with this man I just met. That was supposed to be my uncle. If it were just the two of us left. I don't think I could bare to be in his presence.
