Chapter Seven

The cold wind was slapping against my face as I walked down the narrow sidewalk towards my apartment. Six years had passed since I'd left home for college, and in those six years, I hadn’t seen Paul once. At first, I returned on the holidays thinking that, perhaps, he might do the same and that we would finally get a chance to talk, but after the first two years, I realized that he had no interest in coming back to the home where I’d never made him feel welcome.

I’d thought about asking my dad for his number, but I felt that Paul had made things crystal clear in his avoidance of me, and I felt as though he deserved to have his wishes respected. I wanted to talk to him, though, every time I saw a feature in a magazine with his face on it. I wanted to tell him how proud I was and how well I thought he was doing. I wanted to tell him that his new look suited him, and that any girl would be lucky to hear a declaration of love from him.

I got to my apartment and I buzzed myself in, before climbing the three floors of stairs that often appeared to me like Everest when I’d had a night out on the town. I got to my floor and walked over to the green door that had paint crumbing away from the damp wood that sat underneath. I unlocked it carefully and pushed it open quickly, so that the long creaking noise that sounded like a person getting murdered wouldn’t be prolonged.

My apartment was nearly as cold as it had been outside. The only difference it seemed to offer was the protection from the wind and, even then, if I stood too close to a window, I could feel it creeping in through the cracks in the window panes. The apartment was affordable, though, and since I’d just left college and I was yet to get the high-paying job that I’d always dreamed about, I had to make do with it.

I shivered as I pulled out the old coffee maker that always seemed to splutter to life whenever I called upon its services and I put it on. It gurgled to life and then slowly started to piss murky-colored water into the jug that sat beneath it. I sighed as I walked over to the dingy cupboard that was half hanging off of the wall and then pulled out a mug. It was when I was pouring the luke-warm coffee into my mug that my phone rang and made me jump out of my skin.

I pulled it out of my pocket and frowned when I saw my father’s name flashing on the screen. My dad never called me. It was either I called him, or we didn’t speak. I pulled it up to my ear quickly and clicked the “accept” button.

“Dad?” I asked, because I couldn’t quite believe that he’d made first contact.
