I braced myself as I walked through the door, preparing myself to face my father. But when I got into my house it was silent.

"Dad?" I yelled through the house, but got no response. A wave of relief came over me when I realized my father wasn't there. That makes things a lot easier for me because I wouldn't have to talk to him face to face. Even though I know it would be the best for me to talk to him when he gets home. But I wasn't strong enough to express myself to him face to face.

Ella went upstairs and put her suitcases in my room while I called my dad.

After calling him 2 times in a row it was quite obvious that he was declining them because it only rang once. But I called him again hoping he would answer my call because I really didn't want to wait and speak with him when he got home. On the last ring he answered.

Hello, dad.

I said a little nervous. But he didn't respond he was just breathing really heavily.

Listen dad I'm really sorry
