im sitting on the couch with oscar and cesar while my dads standing up smoking a cigarette looking around
"so when'd you get out?" cesar asks our dad while tryna make conversation
"yesterday" he says after taking the cigarette out his mouth slowly
"uh.. how was the trip down?" he asks again
"long... looks the same. even smells the same" he says while continuing on looking around the house
he sits on a barrel and looks at me and cesar with a smile
"you guys in school?" he asks
we are about to reply until oscar interrupts us
"of course they are" oscar says aggressively
"how bout you?.. going to college?" dad asks oscar while tryna be nice
"seriously?" oscar says
i nudge oscar as a sign for him to be nicer and smile at my dad
"its nice to see you" cesar says while smiling and nodding
i knew what my dad did too us but cesar doesnt really remember like i do so i dont wanna ruin cesars little moments with him
"you guys should give ray some space" oscar says while standing up and leaving
"where are you gonna be staying" i ask dad
"here" he says while nodding slowly
oscar turns around and looks at him while sighing (IF THAT MADE SENSE)
i go to my room and get on my phone for a while
OSCARS POV
i was fixing up the cars motor until ray walks out of the house looking at the car
"yeah?" i ask thinking he needed something
"just looking" he says
i continue just letting him watch me as i do my thing
"you painted her?" he asks while smiling
"yup" i say
"those the same rims?" he asks while pointing at the rims
i slightly nod knowing hes just tryna make friendly talk to try and get me to forgive him
"you still got the same full-barrel 425!" he says while chuckling
i start drying my hands just listening to him
"you remember when you were little i used to let you sit on my lap and you would steer? you were really good too!" he says
i shut the trunk and start walking up to him
"lets get something straight!" i yell while getting in his face
"you can come back here and pretend to be a father but i know whats up" i say
he just stands there staring at me
"cesar? savannah? theyve been through a lot of shit so ill let them live under this delusion... for now" i say before walking back inside
