Hi. I'm Allison. I'm your average type of teenager. I'm 18, in my last year of high school, one bestfriend. I have an older brother, a mother and a dead father...at least i thought. Let me fill you in a little bit about that. My father died in a car accident 9 months ago. My family buried him and we mourned his death. The thing is, he didn't really die. Let me take you back to nine months ago when this all happened...
-nine months ago. (3weeks after his death)
A lot of things run through my mind as i walk through the school hall on my way to the cafeteria. What did he want? How does he know my father? Does he know who hit my father? Sooo many questions, i couldn't even concentrate. I kept bumping into almost everyone on my way to the cafeteria. I take a seat beside my best friend and take a very heavy sigh.
"What the hell, it took you forever to get here."
Melanie says as she playfully rolls her eyes at me.
"Sorry, there were a lot of people on the way." I say in the most "not worried way possible" but of course i suck at pretending that i'm fine and she senses that i'm not.
"Are you okay? You seem off." She says and holds my wrist.
"Oh no, i'm fine, just thinking."
I say, again trying to be "unbothered".
"Shut up, we both know something's up so just tell me. Did something happen?"
She continues to pressure me into speaking and i finally do.
"Okay, okay. So yesterday yeah, this tall ass man with his super expensive suit and briefcase that probably cost more than my house shows up right, and he mentions my dad..."
"Wait, what?"
Mel interrupts me.
"Yeah he said he has somethings to clear up concerning my dad but he didn't say much after that. He also said he'd be back today so we could all have a proper conversation."
I explained and sighed again. Mel lets go off my wrists and goes into her thinking zone. She always did that though. Whenever you explained something serious to her, she always looks like she has to think about it to process it. I swear it was the funniest thing.
Did he have a name?"
Mel breaks the silence.
"Yeah, he did. Uhmmm...it was, Matt. Matt Morgan if i got that right. I've never ever seen him before you know. That's the strangest part."
I run my hands through my hair. The reason i was so worried was because, i didn't know what he wanted to talk about. Maybe he had good news or even worse news, you know?
"Do you want me to come by after school?"
Melanie asks.
"No. It's fine. But i'll let you know everything as soon as i can."
I tell her and the bell rings.
"Okay then, just call me if any crazy shit happens!"
She says trying to lighten up the mood.
I struggle to pull a smile before taking her apple from her tray.
"I'm going home. I don't think i can do 5th period right now."
I tell her as i stand up and grab my bag.
"Okay. Text me later."
Mel says.
"I will. Bye." I don't even understand why my mum and brother think it's a good thing for me to be in school right now. They keep saying it will help take my mind off my father's passing and I need to do my best to make sure I graduate. They say it's what he would want for me. Hell, like I care about graduating right now. I'm literally a walking dead. I open my car and fling my bag to the passenger seat. I lock the car doors and cry my eyes out and scream and just try to let all the pain and anger I felt out. After 30 minutes of straight tears, I wipe my face and pull out of the parking lot and head home.
