Hello, all! I have Prompt 27 Coffee done, but I can't post it here...It's being very difficult. I tried posting it, but it just cut off all the sentences, so I took it down. If anyone wants to read it, it's at my comm!
Anyways, this RANDOMLY popped into my brain! And the ending was NOT where I was originally going! I was describing their fathers and then it was going to be something about them being able to relate, but what came out was this, and I actually kinda like it...Oddly....So I kept it. There is NO explanation for this; I have no clue how this happened. But I do think it's sweet.
And I have no clue what Zack's father was like, so just go with this...I just wanted them both to have had crappy daddies, cause like I said, it was supposed to be them relating to one another's pain. But umm...I hope you do like this, no matter how random it is! (And short...200 words.)
Father.
Brennan's father had disappeared when she was fifteen. He had abandoned his children, leaving them to fend for themselves. He never once thought of the pain he caused them, the issues they'd have because of his selfish decision. He never thought of the toll it'd take on them, especially his daughter, his daughter who had thought the world of him.
He had never considered that his daughter might have trust issues.
Zack's father had always disapproved of him. He had thought 'men are supposed to play sports and get dirty, not sit in front books and microscopes'. He had always tried to get Zack to do more 'manly' activities and always berated him for his intellect. He also never thought of the consequence his actions could have on his child.
He never thought that not accepting his son for who he was could have dire effects on how he interacted with those around him.
But as the two sat there together, her on the bed, him in a chair, he vowed that he wouldn't be like either of their fathers. He'd love his child no matter what. Despite not understanding most human interaction, he'd be the best he could.
