OMG I'M TEARING UP

“I didn’t consider,” he says slowly, “that you lost your father without losing your father.”
“It’s okay to miss him,” he says. “It’s okay to miss him even if what he did was wrong.”

Brutal

No, I want to say. No. The word sits in my throat, but it’s blocked by emotion.
Instead, I say, “I miss my father so much.”

☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

“Do you want me to come over?”
He’s so quiet. I wish I knew what happened between last night and this morning.
“Rob?” I whisper.
“I feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to say yes,” he says quietly.
I swallow. “Then don’t. Text me your address. I’ll break in.”

Ugh I love them 😭

Both son and father are assholes omg

“Sorry. I’m the one who said slowish.”
“Don’t worry. I can catch up.”

Okay damn

“One mistake doesn’t define you.”

I’m too stuck on the fact that, for the first time in months, someone treated me like me, and not like the son of my father.
☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
