You can't just walk out of someone's life and waltz back in whenever you want to. This is what I wanted to scream at that man, if he really was my father. Seriously though, he didn't have to leave. His reason though, because of my disability, how do I know that he's back because he wants to be, but because it's out of pity.
"Mom!" I shouted.
"Yeah?!" She shouted back.
"Uh, dad called!" I said not knowing how she'd react.
"Oh o- He what?!" She screamed. Then there was a crash.

Aaron's POV
Have you ever felt so guilty you feel like you're dying? That's how I feel right now. I wish I could take back what I said, but I can't and I don't know if I'm ready to face her yet.

I decided that I'd make my way to her house to try and apologize. As I was driving though. I heard it before I felt it. The loud honk of semi truck.
Next came the smash, everything else was wiped from memory as my vision went dark.
