Dad came out of hospital today. We had a little talk in my bedroom on my bed.
"Hiro... are you alright?"
I didn't answer.
"I'm so sorry for all of this..."
He pulled me closer.
"Have I told you why I'm depressed?"
I shook my head.
"This sort of crap happened to me at this age, too. My parents would just argue, argue, argue. And then one night my dad got drunk and lashed out-"567Please respect copyright.PENANAnVv0ls3n1I
He stopped, now choking up with tears.
"It was because of that I had to live the rest of my life without my mother. That's why you have two grandfathers and only one grandmother. That's why I try not to retaliate when we get into fights. Oh, God, Hiro, I'm so sorry-"567Please respect copyright.PENANAa1A4zdMfRu
For the first time, he began to cry in my lap. For the first time, I couldn't cry anymore. I just watched him crying, crying, crying, his tears making my joggers very, very, very wet.
