Chp 5

I'm so shocked. Why would my father want to see me? Maybe he regrets what he did. I doubt it.


" Tell him I don't want to see him" I say coldly.


I hear the nurse say to him "I'm sorry she is unable to see you at this time."


" Just for five minutes" I hear him say in a deep voice.


" She is unable.." she says but he interrupts " I want to see her."


" Sir, you need to calm down"she says.


Suddenly the door swings opens. I shut my eyes and pretend to fall asleep.


" I know your not asleep" he says in a demanding voice. I open them immediately. I look at him. He is definitely drunk. His eyes are red and he makes the whole room smell like alcohol.


" What do you want?" I ask.


" I just want to say goodbye before I leave,O..O.. O " he says scratching his head. He forgot my name. How could he forget the name of his own daughter? I tear falls from my eye I wipe it quickly. I need to stay strong.


" Olivia" I say.


" Goodbye Olivia"he says.


" Goodbye Dad" I say. " I..I love you."


He sighs and walks out the door without saying it back to me. Why didn't he say it back to me? He doesn't care about me. Tears fall from my eyes. At that moment, I start to think about Brian and how his father left him. I wish he was here right now to comfort me. My wish comes true. I hear Brian outside talking to his mom.


" Can I just see her?" he says.


" What? Do you have a crush on her or something?" she says. I smile.


" Mom!" he yells.


" Alright, go in" she says.


The door opens and he comes right in.


" Are you okay?" he asks.


" No" I say sobbing.


" What happened?" he asks.


" Well, my father came to visit me and... he told me that he's leaving my mother and I and I..I..I told him I love him but he didn't say it back" I say.


" It's okay, at least your father told you he was leaving" he says.


He sits down on the bed and brings me close to him. He starts rubbing my back. I put my head on his shoulder and cry for my father and for his.
