Sequel: Until the End ›
A Forbidden Love
Dad?
Once I heard the door shut, I got up and off the chair and stood by Dad's side. I took his hand in mine as I sighed, thinking of what I could say to him. There was so much on my mind but which do I voice out? Do I go straight to the anger? Or do I keep it simple and wait until he's healthy enough to start up the tough questions? Fuck, why did this have to be so damn hard? I took a deep breath as I looked at my Dad.
"Hey..uhm, Dad. It's..it's uh, me. Matt. You're son." I chuckled to myself, feeling like a complete moron.
He probably was so out of it he couldn't even hear me, or anyone for that matter. I watched as Dad moved slightly, then grumble something incoherent. Well, so much for that thought.
"Uh...Dad?" I froze when his eyes opened slowly, locking with mine.
No one said anything for a few minutes.
"M-Matt?" Dad gasped, eyes widening. "Is..that really you?" I nodded, surprised he even recognized me.
"It's me...Dad." I had a hard time calling him Dad. Our faces still frozen with the same expression of shock, neither one of us knowing what to say or do.
