Daddy's Home

SARAH
On the car ride home, I held Adam’s hand and he just told me stories about when he was a little kid. I honestly started crying at how much it hit home. After a very emotional car ride I pulled up the driveway and opened the front door and my mom was in the kitchen cooking spaghetti. I looked down and continued to the table next to the door and I set down my purse and keys.
“Hey hun. “ My mom greeted me and smiled. I ignored her and went up to my room. Today was too stressful and depressing. Seeing Adam like that honestly scared me. He was such a strong person. He decided to stay the night with his mom. I went up to my room and thought about everything. Although my mom was unfaithful to my dad, I knew deep down I needed to be grateful of the mom that I have. After coming to that realization, I ran downstairs and hugged my mom as tightly as I could. I needed a hug and my mom was the best thing for me at that point.
“I thought you hated me.” She mumbled into my shoulder.
“I do but, I’ll always love you. After today with Adam it made me realize how grateful I am to have a mom… a healthy mom.”
“What happened?” My mom sat down on the leather bar stool and patted the one next to her for me. I sat down.
“Will you take care of him when im gone?” I whispered.
“What does that mean?”
“That’s what Adam’s mom asked me today.” I breathed and closed my eyes. I felt my mom stand up and then I heard her sigh from a few feet away. The kitchen had a solemn feeling.
“Ok, well, hunny, you need to stop thinking about it. I got you a surprise, so you need to go up to your room.” I opened my eyes and she rubbed my back and nodded me in the direction she wanted me to go.
I slowly opened my bedroom door and I was attacked with a hug.
“Kenneth?” I knew who it was before I even looked up. His strong tan arms wrapped around me and the bracelet I made him four years ago was still on his wrist.
“Hi Sarah.” His British accent rained over his words.
“Why… are…”
“Your mum asked me to come by to see you.”
“But, how are you… here? I thought you were going to school?”
“Sarah… I have a Summer break too.”
“Oh.” This was the most awkward situation I had been in for a while. Four years ago Kenneth, this beautiful British boy, came to my school as a foreign exchange student and showed a lot of interest in me. When he asked me out I was so excited and we went out for about six months and well I lost my virginity to him. Honestly, I still had feelings for him but, in that moment… I felt nothing with his arms wrapped around my hips.
“I miss you.” He leaned forward toward my lips and I quickly jumped back.
“You do know why my mom called you here right? Number one, she’s cheating on my dad and number two, im going out with a boy that’s living in our house with us. She wants to make up for what she did and break Adam and I up.”
“Yeah I know.” He crossed his arms on his chest.
“Then why are you here?” I asked annoyed.
“I want you back. And not to mention you and I were best friends anyways. Why is it so bad I come and visit?”
“WE HAD SEX, KENNETH.”
It was silent and I left the room.
