>>5437977The soothing silence of the mostly asleep city and the cold breeze that blows against your hoodie reminds you of your middle school self.
You began thinking while sitting on a bench, still holding a half empty cup of soda you got from the movie theater.
Going camping with your parents, watching the night sky and animals, failing horribly at opening canned food.
….was it even real?
Did your dad have a mistress from the start?
Did your parents even love each other or did they merely stayed for their children?
“Hey dude.”
While deep in thought, Nathan greets you.
Must’ve gotten off work recently based on his shirt being crumbled and unbuttoned.
You talk for a bit about random stuff.
Nathan seems like he wanted to say something else, but remains silent.
Eventually, he asks about the homeless guy they met earlier. He tells you that he was some juvie that got into fights a few years ago. Recently got out.
He knows that you mean well, but this sort of person is pretty dangerous to be around. No one knows when this guy gonna go schizo and start doing dumb shit.
You thank him but assures that you’ll stay safe when dealing with the homeless guy.
“One more thing.”
“You and Sarah are..”
“Uhh…”
“Careful around her dad, alright?”
“He’s…”
“He’s one of those.. ‘wants to scare off boyfriend’ type of dads.”
“Deny everything, alright?”
You respond with..
>>Don’t worry, you took care of that.You don’t need to worry about him, either, Nathan.
>>Inquire more about her dadWhat did he do? Sarah didn’t mention most of that stuff to you.
