Our identical eyes met, "I know you're not like me or your mom" dad answered slowly, "we wanted it to be that way. Neither of us had the best childhoods and we used our teen years trying to understand it all. You're mother..she's a great woman, always has been, but she knew that she'd made mistakes and I did too, when we found out she was pregnant with you we wanted to be different and you really are the best part of both of us. We just want you to stay in one piece". I didn't say anything and he continued "you remember my last fling? That intern at work?"
"Yeah I remember her"
Vikki. She was always nervous and she was anorexic as hell.
"Vikki was getting herself into some deep shit, and wouldn't except help from any of us, I think she just couldn't care about anybody and it was to hard to deal with. But it made me think of how I might have become in some form or another, if I didn't have you. And seeing you, your spirit, even if you've got some balls for sneaking out on me, it makes me glad I was given the choice." My dad. All mine to annoy and be there for. All mine to love. Not all types of love deserve to be shut out.
