I hold my breath.
"Hello, Nic'Kayla. This is your father."
I burst into tears.
"I'm never going to forgive you for what you did!"
I hear a long sigh on the other end.
"I know, I'm sorry. Mia had it coming."
"No, she didn't! She decided to stay with you because she wanted Leila and I to have a happy life! She did everything to protect Leila and I!"
"I'll never forgive myself for what I did, but I have to put in the past. I-"
"You cant just put things like that in the past! You murdered my mom and I ran away for good that time! I didn't want to live in an abusive house! I didn't want to grow up there! You wouldn't of even let me get a boyfriend! You would've convinced me to abort my twins! You-"
"Twins? I'm confused."
"Yeah, I'm pregnant with twins at 18!"
I hear him crying over the line.
"I'm so sorry for what I did, Nic. I deserve to be here."
I sigh.
"You really do. I'm ashamed to call you my biological dad! In school everybody asked me about my parents! I was so ashamed to say my dad was in prison. I cut myself because I didn't have any friends because of you!"
I burst into tears.
"I wanted to commit suicide. I felt unwanted until I met Hunter. He was proud to say he was my friend. He defended me when everybody bullied me. He would take the pain, but I would think he was a hero, and I still do! 4 years later we go official and everybody who bullied me before were jealous and embarrased, as he was everybody's crush! Everybody fell for him, and there I was, just watching them in the corner! I thought I didn't deserve him! I thought he would pick everybody else before me. Then he would come to me and whisper in my ear,'Your my first pick.', I would always shocked. He kissed me for the first time at a party, and we went official onstage at one of our assemblies! You wouldn't of let me date anybody or even get out of the house!"
"I'm so sorry, Nic!"
"No, your not! I still remember you killing mom in my room, and I knew I could never sleep in there again!" I hang up and throw my phone on the floor, crying. I can see a car parking on the side of the park. I don't care who comes out of that car. I bury my head in my hands. I sigh as a woman sits next to me. "Nic'Kayla, what's wrong?" I shake my head, leaning back. "Stuff I'm angry about, Demi, that's it. I don't care how much you want to know, you wouldn't understand!" She sighs, patting my back. "I'll still listen." I look down. "So I found out my boyfriend was cheating this morning, but we've already sorted out, and get this, my dad called me from prison, apologizing for killing my mom and almost killing my little sister. Like you really mean it, you can't apologize for murdering somebody! Especially after 11 years!" I shake my head. "Everything will be fine." I shake my head. "He's trying too hard. He cant apologize for murdering my mom!" She faces me. "You'll make it through, trust me." I sigh, taking my phone out of my pocket and scrolling through my social media. I put my hand on my mouth. "What. The. F***?! It can't be!" Demi glances at my phone. "What?" I start shaking. "That's my mom." I burst into tears. "Are you sure?" I nod. "Her name was Mia Rodriguez." I look at the post.
