Athena Rodriguez
"Fuck you" I whispered
Running back into the room with anger and betrayal spearing all through my body, sliding down to the floor
Breaking down
I haven't felt this way sense the court date
Jake ran towards me, falling to the ground right where I was
"Athena, look I wasn't talking about your dad I was-"
Anger flew through me as I cut him off, "Okay then Jake, who's father were you talking about? It can't be yours because you haven't seen or even met your father"
I quickly got up standing in front of him while tears exploded from my eyes
Standing up for myself I pushed all the sadness away and all the anger bursted out "Tell me Jake, what do you know?"
Jake broke eye contact, clenching his Jaw.
I sobbed even harder, "Come on Jake, Tell me the truth"
We just stared at each other
I thought he was better then this, how did I ever think Jake would be better
God how stupid am I?
"Do you really want me to tell you?" Jake mumbled, running his fingers threw his hair
I nodded my head, wiping the tears away has more and more came
"Your father lives in Florida"
Putting my hand over my mouth and holding my stomach as I cried even harder
"He has 3 kids, a wife, and a beautiful house"
Shaking my head I fell to the ground, "No, no no this can't be happening"
My hands started to shake, and my eye sight went blurry
"He's been in Florida for 5 years" I looked into Jakes eyes and he looked like he was in pain
Pain, confusion, anger, and guilt
5 years?
5 years, 5 years ago was when he left. 5 years ago Diego Rodriguez my father left his wife and daughter at home for another woman.
"How long" I asked digging my finger nails into my palms
The pain was blind
"What?" He replied
"How long, how fucking long have you known?" I get up from the floor
"How long have you kept this from me? How long have you let me fucking suffer from guilt, pain, depression, and trauma from him? How fucking long did you let him kill me on the inside?" I asked starting to get angry
"Athena I was-"
I sobbed like crazy, "How long did you plan on keeping this from me?"
