The second death or should I say deaths took place on my 18th birthday which was on the first Monday of summer break, I decided I wanted to spend the weekend with Rika and have a birthday dinner with my family. Around 6:30 Susan and my father showed up at Rika's place to pick me up. Rika's mom called up to me from the kitchen to let me know to come down because my parents were there, I was already about to walk home because my house wasn't far so I already had my stuff ready so I kissed Rika and started walking down the stairs. Once I make it halfway down the stairs I overhear Rinka's mom talking to my parents and my heart sank.
"Jeez Lillith is such a nice girl, she reminds me of her mother when she was her age"
My father responded.
"Well the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree"
"Damn right it doesn't, oh and Lillith and Rinka make such a cute couple"
"W-What ..... oh you don't say"
"O-Oh did you not know I thought she would've told you I mean they've been together for about S-"
I immediately cut into the conversation trying to fight back my tears.
"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go, see later Mrs.Ara"
"Oh okay later sweety"
Once we get into the car there was an awkward silence accompanied by tension so thick it could stop a car from crashing. After a few minutes, I decide to say something.
"Hehe why'd you guys come to pick me up I could've walked home"
Susan responded.
"We decided to go out to eat"
"Oh cool"
Finally, my father spoke
"So....how long have you and Rika been together"
"Si-...Six years"
"Six years huh"
Susan tried to cut in to calm down my father.
"K-Kazuki I know how you must feel but don't be mad at her. The only reason she hadn't told you yet was-"
"Oh so you knew"
"Y-Yes "
My father's face contorted with hatred and disgust.
"D-Dad I...I'm sorry I didn't tell you but the only reason I didn't tell you was that I knew you'd react like this. You always told me that it was wrong to be in a same-sex relationship and that you'd cut ties with me so I hid it from you because I didn't want to lose the little relationship I had with you"
"Oh don't worry I won't cut ties with you I've changed my views on the topic"
"H-Huh does that mean you don't care that I'm dating Rika?"
"Oh Rika.... you aren't allowed to see her anymore you need to break up with her and find yourself a man."
As soon as I heard those words I felt tears start to stream down my face and without even thinking about it I responded.
"W-What you can't do that I'm 18 I can be with whoever I want to be with"
"I AM YOU FATHER and whatever I tell you to do you have to do. Now give your phone"
"What why do you need my phone"
My father turned and looked at me dead in my eyes and said.
"Unlock your phone and give it to me or I'll take it and you'll never get it back"
"F-Fine"
I unlocked it and handed him my phone and watched as he went into my messages and texted Rika " I'm breaking up with you and I never want to see you again".
"What in the actual fuck Dad? If you want me to break up with her let me do it myself don't just take my phone and text her that. I was friends with her once she deserves at least a call"
"I'll do what I want I'm your father"
Susan after listening to us go back and forth she had noticed how much I was crying and decided she had enough of how my father was treating me and started to yell at him.
"What in the hell is wrong with you're her father and yet you're treating her like she's no more than a dog. Ever since we've been together you've treated her as if she wasn't there, hell I didn't even know she existed until I met her, you only told me about William. I get you're probably still a little upset about losing the love of your life, but just because she died after giving birth to your daughter doesn't mean you can blame her"
Susan snatched my phone from him and handed it to me.
"There you go sweety make sure you patch things up with Rika you make a great couple so don't let your dad and his old fashion beliefs stop you and your li-"
With no hesitation or remorse, my father slapped Susan.
"You don't get to tell MY daughter what she can and can't do and don't lecture me on how to treat my kids YOU don't and can't have any"
Susan and I were both shocked by my father's actions. Without any hesitation, I started to defend Susan.
"You can't treat Susan like that she's been more of a parent than you've ever been "
"You shut your mouth young lady, I'm the man of the house so do and say what I want, I was just putting my wife in her place and I'll do the same to you too"
"What in the hell does that even mean "I'm the man of the house" you're not even a man you're a woman-abusing hypocrite, if mom was still alive she would hate the man you became"
"You shut the fuck up"
"No why should I"
Susan finally said something after her long silence but it wasn't backing me up.
"Lillith sweety please leave it be you're only going to make it worse"
"What Susan don't tell me you're taking his side"
"I'm not but he's still your father, and I don't want the situation to get any worse"
"He isn't my father, not anymore. He's no more than a deadbeat"
As soon as those words left my mouth I felt a sharp pain in my cheek as I was flung against a window.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH THIS INSTANT"
"D-Did you just slap your daughter what's wrong with you first your wife now me?"
Susan still dumbstruck by the situation looked at me with a sorry look in her eyes and she started to cry.
"Sweetheart are you ok"
My tears started to flow even more than before.
"Yes, but I have one last thing to say to THAT man who calls himself my father...Your the reason I like girls and the reason I'm never going to be with a man... I'll kill myself before that happens"
My father turned around and went to hit me again.
"That's it you little shit I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget"
"Kazuki stop it you're driving and you've already done enough please just stop"
"You shut your mouth or you'll be next"
"Don't talk to her like that"
My father reached his arm back as if he was about to punch me but before he could Susan grabbed his arm.
"Stop it please Kazuki you used to never be like this, sure you weren't perfect but you never were violent"
My father paused as if he just realized something then spoke
"I-I'm sorry I don't know what came over me can you please forgi-"
Without realizing it our car had wandered its way into the opposite lane which just so happened to have a semi-truck in it and just as we noticed it was too late all my father could do was try to swerve out of the way but it wasn't enough.
The truck hit us.
(This was a long one even after splitting it into two but, anyway we're about a little over halfway through the exposition and the funny thing is I still don't know how to kill her.....You wanna help?)
