Dramatic Identity Change of My Ex-boyfriend

17

We came out of the police station and got in the car.

Kevin and I remained silent the entire time. In the backseat, my father continued to ramble on and on.

My father suddenly asked, "Amelia, who is this?"

I didn't want to talk to him at all.

Kevin glanced at me, saying, "I'm her friend."

My dad asked curiously if he was an ordinary friend of mine.

I interrupted him impatiently, saying, "I'll send you to the airport now. Go back to Chicago!"

At this, my dad shut his mouth with grievance.

He was always like this when he sobered up. It was as if the horrible person he was when he was drunk was not him at all.

I had made up my mind. I said, "Don't come to us again."

"Amelia, I know you hate me." My father was silent for a while before saying, as if repenting, "Your mother disappeared with you after divorcing me. I've been looking for you for so many years. Now that I've finally found you, I'll definitely make it up to you."
