• As school let out I clicked my shoes against the alley pavement. As the light surrounding me became lighter as I stepped out of the alley near my house, I saw a man sitting on my steps. Who could he be? I thought. His hair was black and messy, he had a studded beard, and a trenchcoat. Now you know trenchcoats spell trouble for a young girl like me. I cautiously walked up to him.
    "Hello? Can I help you?" I asked.
    "My how you've grown." The man said.
    "How do you know me?"
    "You're just as pretty as your mom was." He said smiling.
    "Dad?"I asked.
    "It's me."
    Let me explain here, when I was just born dad left after a month with mom and I all alone. Then after a few short years mom had died and I was longing to live in this house. Of course I had a choice, other relatives wanted to take me in, but I'm drawn to this house for some reason or another.

    "Your here! I can't believe this! One thing though, why now?" I said tense.
    "Well, I've been fired and thrown out of my buddies apartment. I had no where else to go so-." He said cut off by me.
    "So you came back home because you knew I would be here? Not because you missed me?" I questioned.
    "It's not that I didn't miss you. I just had a lot of pain right then and now."
    "Oh.." My voice died out.

    Dad and I walked in the house and he sat at the table hands folded. It looked as if he was being punished by a little girl.
    "Want something to eat?" I asked.
    "Sure, sure. Anything'll do." He said anxious.
    As I rummaged through the silverware drawer and the dishes everything clinked so loud it could of damaged my eardrum.
    As I waited for it to cook I leaned over the counter to dad.
    "Dad, why did you leave mom and I?"
    "Reasons, that's all you'll ever need to know."
    "Oh...but you all seemed happy together so-."
    "Be quiet, I said REASONS, I don't have to explain."
    "But, nevermind."
    "Do you really want to know?"
    "I suppose so."
    "Well the reason was..."
