I decided to ask my mom to tell me truth about dad. I am going to ask her now. Jack is out somewhere. I am kind of glad. I don't think I could get myself to ask about my dad with him around. Even Jack is a little sore about Wills death. He was the closest Jack ever came to a true friend.
"Mom" I say
She turns around and smiles. "Hey Lora, how are you?"
"Good. Uh mom could you please tell me all bout dad?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself?"
"I was not talking about Jack!"
"I know why you don't ask him about him yourself."
"Mom what do you mean? Dad is dead."
"That is a good cover story huh. I came up with it with Jacks help." She said with a smile spreading across her face.
"What do you mean,
mom?"
"Well after you were born I was really happy. I am not
sure Will was though. He started spending more and more time of at
sea. I told him about a month after you were born that me and you
were going to sea with him again. He got mad and told me no. I called
upon Jack for help. He did of course."
"What happened next?" I said eagerly.
"Well I found out what he was doing at sea. Not actually at sea. Mostly at Ports. I thought the first time we followed it was maybe a one time thing. But I kept following him. I could not ,at the time, get up the courage to confront him. Then one day he did not come home. I knew exactly where he was. I went to where he was and told him he had two chooses. He could either let me tell everyone he was dead and he continued to do whatever he wanted or he could stop it all and never go to sea again without me and you. He choose A."
"Why?"
"I am not sure. Jack took us in. He always wanted me at sea with him. I would go everywhere with him. And he loved it. I was always wanted. I still am. The only times we have problems is when I let him go alone and he gets to drunk. It is happening less and less."
