Introduction:
Squid walked in the door and put his jacket in the closet then headed towards the kitchen. He stopped abruptly and started at the figure that was sitting at the kitchen counter. He had dark hair and a tall frame, and had a boy-ish grin. Squid thought he looked familiar but couldn't figure out why. Alan saw his mother crying at the counter next to the man. He ran over to her and asked what was wrong. He knew from the beginning that the man was a bad person.
"Hello, Alan." The man stuck out his hand for a hand shake. Squid didn't take it; he just looked at it and then went back to helping his mother.
"Ah! You have your mother's spirit I see. Well maybe a proper introduction is in order here. Alan, I am your father and I have come to finally take care of you. Boy you have gotten big come here and give your father a hug!" He opened his arms but would never get that hug. Squid was in shock, he know knew who the man looked like; himself. Fourteen years he had ignored his own son and now he wanted to take care of him. There was no way in hell Squid was going to ever let his father anywhere near him again.
"No fucking way! You think that you can come here and expect a warm welcome. It has been fourteen years! You left to go and get ice cream and don't think that I have not forgotten! I asked if you could get my favorite flavor and you said you would get me anything I wanted and then you left and never came back! That is not what I wanted."
"Alan, don't get angry you know there are two sides to every story…"
"Yah, there is the right side and the other side that is full of shit! And believe me I know which side is full of shit! It is the side that has not been a part of my life for fourteen years! It is the side that ditched me and never came back! It is the side that never saw any of my baseball games or even sent me a card on my birthday! It is the side that tore my family apart and made my life a living hell!"
"Alan, stop you don't know what you're talking about! Don't get irrational! I am your father and I am sorry if I made you angry but I am going to make it up to you!"
"You can't make up fourteen years! You are dead to me and there is nothing you can do about that!"
"Alan, come here and give your father a hug!" Squid's dad came closer with his arms stretched out, but Squid pushed his arms away.
"Get out! Get out of this house! You heard me leave, you're good at that!" Squid's father was taken aback he did not know what to do. He has imagined Squid running into his arms and forgiving him for everything, but this was nothing like that.
"Alan, I have not been the father I should have been but I am going to make it up to you and I am not leaving without you. I have come here to take you back to New York and back home where you can finally be happy."
"New York! You were that close to me this whole time and you never came by or anything! There is no way I am going with you!"
"Alan, I am sorry but you have no choice. A new law has been issued throughout New York and a child is to go to the first suitable adult in the family once the guardian in question is not able to take care of the child."
"I am seventeen years old! You are not going to tell me what to do! I am not going to New York! I am staying here with my mother!"
"Alan! You have no choice! I was the one who should have had you once your mother could not take care of you, but I was over looked! I am ready to take care of you now!"
"In one year I will be an adult and I will choose not to live with you! There is no point in taking me now!"
"I don't care you are coming with me! I have already packed all of your things and our flight leaves early tomorrow morning!"
"No I am not! I am staying here! I have friends here! My mom is here! She is getting so much better she needs me!"
"I am sure she is fine now let's go!" Squid's dad reached for Squid's arm but he pulled it out of his grasp and moved over to his mother and put his arm around her.
"She would be fine if you never hurt her in the first place! I am not leaving!"
"Fine, then if you will not go by yourself then I will make you!" Squid's dad walked over to the phone and called the police. They were over at Squid's place shortly. They explained that he had no choice but to go with him.
"I fucking hate you for ruining my life! You are no father to me! But once I am in New York I am running away and never coming back! Squid waked upstairs and plopped on his bed and started to dial his girlfriend's phone number.
"Hello?"
"Kandy, its Squid."
"Squid! I haven't talked to you in forever! Like a whole day! What's new baby?
"Not a whole lot, but there is something I need to tell you. You know I love you right?"
"Yah, I love you too!"
"Ok, good! I am glad that you know that. You also need to know that when we were apart I could not stop thinking about you."
"Oh Squid, don't talk about it. We are never going to be apart so don't worry about it."
"I wish that was true… but it isn't. Kandy, I am going to New York in the morning and I can't come back until I am eighteen." The other end of the phone went silent…
Well, what do you think? R&R! Oh, and I don't own any of the holes characters, just Kandy and Squid's dad.
