23: Leaving Home

The letter fell from my hand.

I started shaking, my eyes staring into the fathoms of nothing as I tried to understand what was going on...

No. He wouldn't do that.

I shook my head, he wouldn't leave me here alone.

I ran upstairs to my room for my phone and dialed his number.

My mind couldn't comprehend what was going on.... I couldn't believe that- that he would leav-

The call said that the number did not exist anymore.

I sped downstairs and searched his room.

"Dad?!

SILENCE.

I stayed completely still to listen to the noises in my quite house . My heart thumbed in my chest.

The clock ticked...

I was breathing....

Somewhere a window creaked...

Lighting and thunder boomed outside...

I jumped and ran out the house in terror and sped down the road.

I knew... I just knew that he left me...

The milkshake... the hamburger... the kind words...

He left Bloomsville.

My feet were burning but I couldn't stop running.
