(The day he left Kendall and went to talk to his father)

~~~~~~~~

I feel absolutely horrible leaving Kendall all alone and ditching her, but I need to know why my dad has decided to call me after all these years. Years of leaving us all alone in the dark and making us suffer.

Why after all these years?

I furiously pressed redial, my thumbs moving so fast on my phone , my brain fuming in anger.

After some moment of silence I heard my fathers gruff voice.

"Hello Ace, are you alone?"

I huffed in annoyance "Yes, I left my friend alone now what the hell do you want from me?"

Yes, Kendall is just a friend, don't get your hopes too high.

"Nothing, can't I just say hello to my son?" he seethed angrily.

"Yes you can but not after five freaking years!" I practically screamed into the phone earning annoyed glances from people on the street.

He sighed "I am sorry Ace, I really do, I wish  was there for you, but, but bad things has happened, and I kept it for a secret for too long and its eating me alive."

What secret?

"What are you talking about dad?" I asked my curiosity peeking up.

"Just promise me you wont freak out and shut the phone while I am talking." he chuckled nervously.

"Dad, if you think I would freak out , then that secret is really bad, so just spill it out." I said calmly, even though my stomach was probably having a whole acrobatics show inside my stomach.

"Fine, I - I was involved in some business and I- I had to kill someone."

My phone dropped on the pavement, the crash echoing through the bustling neighborhood.

No one realized what my father said except me.

My father is a killer.

Me, Ace Wright, and my father is a killer.

I quickly picked up the phone from the floor and said "How," my voice croaking at the end.

"I- they were going to kill me Ace, and I didn't know what to do, I had- I had to do something I am sorry."

"You are sorry!" I was practically fuming in anger. "Sorry doesn't bring back people back from the dead now does it? so your sorry is practically useless!"

Defeaning silence was followed after what I said.

"I- I am-- "

"Who did you kill? Was that person innocent?" I said cutting off my dad, I don't want to listen to his bullshit words.

"That's disclosed information, and from how you reacted, you might as well  go to the police and report me, I don't trust you son." He said laughing humorlessly.

What has my father become?

"Well if you don't trust me I am no longer your son." I said angrily, I cannot be related to a killer, a murderer, a man who left his wife to take care of two children, that's not a man, that's a disgrace to parenthood.

"Who ever said I was your father?" he said laughing darkly.

"What do you mean? Am I adopted or something?" I said while panic was rising through me.

"Oh no, don't worry, I am biologically  your father, but, I don't expect you to be my son, I want to be free, I don't want to have the responsibility to take care of you." he said calmly.

Those words broke me. Why, why would he say this to me? 

"Don't ever talk to me again do you hear me! Don't ever go near my mom or my brother, you don't even deserve to be a father!" I sad with tears brimming my eyes.

"Goodbye Ace." My father said with no emotion held in his voice as he ended the call.

I angrily put my phone in my pocket and started walking aimlessly around the neighborhood with tears brimming my eyes.

I cant go back to Kendall now, she cant see me like this, she cant seem me as the killer's son. Why did my father turn so cruel? Why did he kill someone so innocent?

Or was that person really innocent?

I went to an isolated coffee shop far away from the bustling neighborhood. I put on my hood and started walking inside the shop, the bells jingling indicating someone have entered. All eyes were on me now. The emo boy who looks so depressed and beaten down.

I approached the girl on the counter and she took my order and I went to sit down on the far end table, Isolated, alone, just how I like it.

Its not like I have never experienced these emotions before. I got used to it.

Then the girl whom I gave the order too came to my table and placed the coffee cup on my table. I muttered a thank you without even looking at her and I started sipping from my heavenly hot coffee.

"Um, sorry to intrude, but are you alright?" she asked curiously.

I raised my eyebrows at her "Why wouldn't I be?"

She seemed flustered but then regained her composure, "No reason its just you seem confused, or troubled, so I thought you might need someone to talk too."

I smiled at the sweet gesture. "Its alright, really. I'll be fine, thank you for the offer though," I then pointed at the coffee cup "and for that too, would have been a zombie without that, life savior." I chuckled lightly.

She smiled her pearly white teeth showing," Not a problem, glad I had helped. Enjoy your coffee sir." she said before she stuttered away to the counter.

I started sipping my coffee again and thinking about Kendall. Is she still waiting for me to come back to the coffee shop?

I ruined our so called date because of my stupid curiosity.  And now I know my dad killed someone.

I will think about all the consequences later, right now, its my peace time and a time for me to relax for a while.

~~~~

After a while of sitting down and letting my thoughts occupy me, I decided to get up and walk my way back to Kendall and explain everything to her. She needs an explanation on why I left so abruptly.

She will understand me, I know she will.

Suddenly I felt my phone vibrating, curiously, I took my phone out of my pocket and saw the caller's ID.

My dad.

Is he even my dad anymore, and why is he calling me. Is he going to apologize?

I shook my head from my thoughts and decided to give my father a chance and answer, maybe he didn't mean what he said. 

"Hello?" I asked timidly.

Silence was followed, What is going on?

"At least we know were she lives and that is good enough, we just need your son out of the way and then we are good to go and finally, we can execute the plan." an unfamiliar voice said.

"My son is already out of the way and  as I said before, he isn't my son anymore." My dad spoke darkly.

I wanted to scream at him and tell him to stop but one thing got my attention. And I knew I was eavesdropping, this conversations was definitely not meant to be heard.

But I guess fate had other plans.

"My son likes her, so he will easily be able to get us information without him knowing, I put  a GPS  tracker on his coat so we know where he went." My dad said laughing.

Wait GPS tracker? On me?

I quickly placed my hands everywhere on my coat until I felt a bumpy thing on my coat, quickly I snatched it from my coat and I realized it was the GPS tracker.

My dad was using me. He met me just so I can be a pawn in his game.

But what he doesn't know is that I ain't playing his games. Especially since i am no longer his son.

His words, not mine.

I quickly took my phone and continued to listen to the conversation, eager to know what more information they are going to reveal.

"Alright then, go grab some guns and lets go kill somebody." my dad said with a venomous tone.

"I would love to see the way Kendall reacts when I shoot her in the head, ah, I haven't shot anyone in a long time, I am really bloodthirsty, boss when can I go?"

Kendall? What is my father going to do? Is he going to kill Kendall! I need to warn her.

"Go kill her now." 

And with that the phone call ended and I was breathing heavily. My dad wants to kill Kendall, and he doesn't know I listened to this whole conversation. 

I quickly started running down every corner trying my hardest to reach Kendall's house before those guys can.

My lungs were burning begging me to stop to catch my breathe before I collapse but no, I couldn't, Kendall is in danger and it will be all my fault if anything happens to her.

I finally reached Kendall's house and realized the door was unlocked, I quickly went upstairs taking two steps at the time.

And there I saw Kendall, with a frightened expression on her face.

Then I saw someone near her, with a knife in their hands. I tried to scream, but I was paralyzed by shock. 

"KENDALL!"

But it was too late.
