Naruto's p.o.v
I pick up the phone, walk out the door, and close the door behind me. I don't want Kasumi or Hinata to here how bad this conversation will get.
"Son, you have to believe that this is me. Your foster mom gave me your number so I could talk to you. I haven't heard your voice in such a long time.", he says.
"IF YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME SO MUCH THAN YOU SHOULD'VE KEPT ME DAD", I say loud enough for the man walking across the street to hear me.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have neglected you. I was depressed, and I didn't want to talk to anyone. I couldn't take care of you at the moment, I couldn't even take care of myself. I wanted to do what was best for you.", he says trying to sound calm.
"What's best for me? If you wanted to do what was best for me then you should've at least tried to feed me when I was hungry, or were you too "depressed" to do that.", I said.
"I WAS DEPRESSED", he yells into the phone.
"DEPRESSED MY ASS!", I say loudly.
"When your mom died…do you know how hard it was for me to take care of you?", he said.
"Dad you had a job. You were a lawyer, but you went out every night to drink with your friends. You were depressed when you lost your job because of your drinking problem. You got depressed when alcohol couldn't make you happy anymore. You didn't get help. You didn't want it, and you thought you didn't need it. You lost everything, and you didn't care. You put me in foster care, and told me you would take me back when you felt like taking care of me", I said angrily.
"I'm living in a homeless shelter, and I'm flat out broke. I need to live with you. Is it too late for me to take you back now?", he asks.
There is a small silence on the phone. I can feel my face burning. My hand clenches into a fist. Now? Now that you're a broke loser...you want me back?
I press the end button on the phone. Tears fall down my cheeks. Talking to this prick would only get me more stressed out. I go inside, and hang up the phone. I see Kasumi drinking a glass of water in the kitchen.
"Daddy why are you crying?", Kasumi asks.
I wipe the tears from my face.
"What happened?", Kasumi asks.
"Aren't you supposed to be in bed?", I snapped back at her.
"But daddy, I", she says.
I cut her off.
"Just go to bed!", I yell.
That was the first time I ever took my anger out on her. Hopefully Hinata didn't here me yell. Kasumi looks up at me with her big blue eyes. Her pale skin became more pale, and i didn't even know it was possible. I'm such an asshole.
"I got thirsty. All I wanted was a drink of water, but I guess you don't want me down here", she says softly.
She leaves her glass on the table and walks up the stairs. I sit in one of the chairs in the kitchen. More tears roll down my face. I sit in the kitchen and cry silently. After an hour of crying I go upstairs. I peep into Kasumi's room to see if she is sleeping, but she isn't. She's sitting on her bed with the night light on crying silently. I guess I'm not the only one who was up crying tonight.
Hope you enjoyed ^_^ I've got every chapter figured out so far. Remember to review every once in a while :3
