"Daniel dear, I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am for everything. It- Its taken me so long to come around, I know, but I just hope we can mend things between us." Her voice quivers.
Hearing my mum sob sorrowfully was heartbreaking, but I don't think I can forgive my family as a whole. The abuse my dad so willingly committed. I can't imagine what kind of emotional effect he was having on her behind closed doors. "I don't know mum. Dad," I gulped, "I don't think I can forgive that." I felt Phil's soft hand slip into mine. He placed a chaste kiss on the crown of my head allowing me to continue talking.
"No Daniel I would never expect you to forgive him after everything he's done. I know that I said some things at that time too, but you have to understand how confused I was. That doesn't make up for the fact that I said some horrible things, but your father he's not with us anymore. I'm sorry."
I inhaled sharply "Dad's dead?!" I whisper shouted into the phone. Phil squeezed my hand worriedly.
"Oh no honey, that's not what I meant at all. I mean me and your father we parted ways." She breathed, "I hadn't felt for him for years, but I couldn't do that to you Dan. Just tell him to get out. You were too young, and I let it go on for too long." She took another breath, "Actually me and Julie - my coworker - have been getting on quite nicely. That's besides the point I called. Dan, I miss you beyond belief and I am so sorry for everything you had to go through. I hope you in good hands dear."
I sat in shock. Did my mom just insinuate she had a girlfriend. "I couldn't be with anyone better Mum don't worry. Actually can I call you back, I need time to process everything."
"Oh of course, love you Dan." I could still hear the worry laced in her words.
"Love you too, bye."
[a/n: I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THIS IM SO SORRY. Also next weekend is the end. I've written more of an epilogue then I ever intended. They're quite long so there'll be no sequel I'm really sorry about that too, but I'm ready to begin a new story it's been nearly a year. I'll explain more later. I'm sorry.]
