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.
