Monday started like any other day. I woke up and was sick a few times, before I went downstairs and started breakfast. I hadn’t spoken to neither Dad nor Kade since the big fight. I hadn’t spoken to anyone actually. I got on my bike and spent the day driving around Seattle, trying to forget about the anger in Dad’s eyes and Kade knocked out cold on my floor.

What I couldn’t forget was Kade’s declaration of love. He said he loved me. Told my father he loved me and that scared the shit out of me. I didn’t want his love. It would only lead to more pain. So, why did my heart flutter and my stomach get queasy when he said it? Why did I want to hear those words again? Fucking hormones, that‘s why. I needed to forget it and let it go. If I learned anything from this life, it was that love destroyed you, and I was too strong to let that happen.

I decided to skip the healthy food this morning, and made Dad’s favorite, complete with fried eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns. The paper was on the table waiting for him, and I poured each of us a cup of coffee. I finally picked up a baby book that told me twelve ounces of coffee a day wouldn’t do any harm. Thank God because, after giving up booze and cigarettes, I wasn’t sure I could give up another one of my vices.

I placed Dad’s mug on the table, and went back to the frying pan. Dad didn’t want to speak yesterday, and I understood that. We were very similar, so I’m sure, like me, he needed time to process. I gave him an entire day and night to do so, and now we needed to talk.

His heavy footsteps came down the stairs, and I waited by the kitchen counter for him to walk in. I imagined he’d look at me with anger at first, but then he would apologize and give me a hug. I waited and waited. I waited until I heard the sound of the front door open and shut. Waited until I heard the roar of his bike. Waited until I heard him pull out of the driveway and down the street. I even waited a few seconds after that hoping he’d change his mind and the alluring scent of bacon would bring him back.

He never came back.

I dumped his coffee in the sink, and tossed all the food in the trash. I was no longer hungry, and looking at all that food made my stomach churn.

Bribing him with his favorite breakfast wasn’t going to be enough this time. I had to accept that this was the first time in my life that I disappointed my father. It was almost too much to swallow. But, if I was anything, I was resilient and I just needed to wait this out.

I hopped on my bike and headed to work, hoping like hell the news about me being knocked up hadn’t spread yet.
