Chapter 30: Happy birthday dad

Sage Miller

"I'm sorry for my attitude the past two days. My emotions were all over the place." Connor said as he sat my breakfast in front of me.

I sighed.

"It's okay. You're human and you're allowed to feel and be bitchy and sad once in a while." I told him.

I didn't know why he was acting the way he was but I was glad to see the Connor I liked back.

Today he was gentle maybe it's because he knew that today is dad's birthday and he knew this day could be hard on me. But this year it wasn't so hard.

"But still, I'm sorry."

After that we ate in silence. The sound of our forks colliding with the plates filled the silence.

"I talked to mom yesterday." Connor declared after some time.

My eyes snapped to his face but he wasn't looking at me. His head was casted down.

I was shocked, the last time they talked they weren't good. And I felt like this talk was different to how they're last one went.

That's good, right?

"Ummm.... yeah?" I said not really knowing what to say. I figured he needed someone to talk to.

I'm on a roll this week. First Sebastian now Connor.

Snap out of it dick and listen.

I mentally cussed myself for being so cocky and childish at a time like this.

"Yeah." He confirmed. "I guess I've been so caught up in my anger I forgot what's important. I was so selfish with everything. You know."

I nodded and didn't say a word. That's what he needed an ear to listen.

"I went to my house and we had a long talk. It really helped. I didn't take into consideration how much she sacrificed for me. She never really got a chance to be a teenage because of me. I should've given her a break. Everyone makes mistakes even though some are greater than other but we're all human. Mistakes are inevitable. Mon made me realise that what they did wasn't intentional and they didn't mean to hurt me by it."

When he didn't continue, I knew he was finished.

"So what are you going to do now?" I asked him.

"I guess I got closure and right now I want to move on. I've acknowledged that it will take time for our relationship to be they way it was but I'm willing to try. I forgave her. And about my father, I dont wanna know him. Im good." He explained so beautifully that I felt tears stinging in my eyes.

"Even if someone told you he knew who he is and where he Is?" I asked graphically.

"Yes. I know bringing him into my life will hurt mom. I don't need that. My mom sacrificed a lot when he left me before I was even born." He said.

Now do I tell him or do I keep quiet. I decided to keep quiet. He said he doesn't want to know him.

"I know how lucky I am to have a good relationship with my mom. Out of the trio I'm the lucky one to have a loving mom. You and Sebastian aren't so lucky." He continued and I noted how he included Sebastian in his group of friends.

"What about Sebastian?" I dared to ask.

He sighed.

"That's a difficult on but I am willing to try. I sort eavesdropped on you the other day when he explained on what happened between him and mom. I don't like what he did but I'm glad he didn't have any bad intention. I know our relationship will never be the same again. But I will try if he'll try too."

"He's been trying." I pointed out.

"I know." He mumbled. "He even bought me gummy bears. Twice."

"Yeah and he let you punch him so many times and didn't do anything to retaliate. I'm jealous you got to punch him." I admitted.

"I enjoyed that so much. Kicking his ass I mean. In any day he would've destroyed me. Guess I'm the lucky one. I got to punch him when you haven't." He said gloating.

"Oh shut up." I got up and cleared the table.
