Chapter 15 Out of the blue

Raven's POV

Again when I got home from work I had un-welcome visitor, no it wasn't that douche Phil, it was the other douche known as my father. I'll explain later. He was standing around and looking at me with those eyes. I always hated when he looked at me like that.

"Hi" I barely got out as I walked up the porch to get inside. He didn't say anything, he just followed me inside. "Reason your here?"

"I wanted to talk" He said stifly, "I've been talking to your sister"

"Of course you have" I said darkly, he and Izzy still got along and they kept in regualar contact.

He took a quick look around my tiny house, it was the first time he had seen my house.

"I hoped we could talk like human beings" He started "Izzy tells me you were in hospital"

"Yeah, bladder infection"

He gave a long sigh "Raven how long are you going to do this?"

"Do what?" I said throwing my stuff on a near by chair. I straightend up and looked straight at my father. He wasn't my real father by any means but I guess before we fell out, he was Dad. "I'm not doing anythin"

"Look at you!" He exploded "Your skin and bones!"

"I'm fine." I said inpatienly, I had always been skinny but I guess since working for Randy I had lost a little more weight.

"Your not fine" Dad snapped out at me, "I want to know why your still working for him"

"Because I love him"

He shook his head "Oh Raven, how could you?"

"Whats that meant to mean?"

"Raven he is taking every inch of who you are, you used to be such a happy healthy girl and now look at you"

I couldn't be bothered dealing with this, at least not right now. "Dad" "Let me finish" He snapped at me "Can you really tell me that your happy?"

"Yes I can, for the first time in ever I'm actually happy"

That long sigh came out again, "Raven that man is going to wind up being the death of you"

"Then I'll die a happy girl now if you don't mind I wanna take a shower"

He left without another word, the door slamming made cold chills appear down my spine. I wished it wasn't like this but due to my lifestyle he didn't want to know anymore. That hurt more than anything, it was like all I had was Randy, I wasn't about to let him go.

I was pulled from the shower by the sound of the phone, I could only hope it was Randy. Instead I got my sisters concern.

"I'm fine Izzy"

"Did Dad talk to you?"

"Yeah he has some choice words for me" I said pulling up the towel. "Is it just me or he is the one that looks too thin?"

"Of course he's thin Raven, he's dying"

I almost dropped the phone, "He's what?"

"He's dying, didn't he tell you?"

"No we never got that far, he left before he could say anything"

"He's got a month I think, he wanted to make things right with you before he left"

I let out another sigh, "Well I guess I should go over and talk to him"

"Its too late now, he'll only be in bed asleep. Go over tomorrow and talk then, let him have some rest"

I let out a sad sigh, I couldn't believe he was dying, dying and he couldn't even spit it out. I had some serious making up to do, I didn't want to lose another father on bad terms.
