I'm so sorry I haven't updated my story We found Love, my internet was down for a really long time and I have tons of school work, I'm working on the new chapter now I'll make it as long as I can. For now please enjoy this one shot.
"Your father, he's dead…" I stood there shocked; this isn't true this is not happening it's all a dream. "Eli? Are you ok?" My mom went to put her and on my shoulder but I backed away and ran to my room. I locked the door as it closed behind me and slid down against the wall with my hands on my head.
This can't be happening, my dad lived in California and my mom and I lived in New York. I never got to see him and when he called I would always rush our conversations. We had plans to see each other and catch up but that never happened, I thought sooner or later we'd see each other but now it's too late.
My dad left my mother and I when I was about six. I was so small I didn't know what was going on, I never got to ask him why he left us all alone and now I'll never know. "Why dad?! Why did you leave us like that?! Why?!" I screamed as I cradled myself. Now I'm talking to myself, I know he can't hear me…he's gone.
The worse part of it is I never got to say goodbye, he's really gone forever. So many questions are racing through my head, so many things I wanted to say. I feel so much regret right now I can't even process things right anymore. I remember his advice to never get into trouble and be a good boy, but that really hasn't happened I've gotten into so many fights in school I lost track.
I could have been so much better I know he expected so much more from me and maybe if he was still alive he would have more reasons to be proud of me. I sat there and the silence seemed to be getting louder, I know that he's gone but I could have sworn I heard him calling my name at that very instant.
But it's too late, he's gone and now I'm stuck with all these questions. I got up slowly and laid down on my bed. My life is going to be way harder now but I have to deal with it one day…one day I'll see him again.
