The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

This morning I woke up to a chill inside the house. I looked out the window, and saw that it had snowed. And not just a little snow. A lot of snow. And that explains the chill in the house. I had no idea of the weather, and therefore I had not prepared for it by turning on the furnace. Since I was up and moving around at that point, I got dressed and didn't have to turn the furnace on.

Because of the weather conditions, Carma didn't get back until after 11am. But right before she arrived, Dad stopped by. He gave me a letter that the mail carrier mistakenly placed in there. As I was making my way back inside, since I got the letter and no intention of sticking around, Dad said that he was very sorry for the way he acted last week. He said that he shouldn't have gotten so upset and said the things he did. When I asked about Luca, he said that I could get her, but that she was fine there and didn't want her to be chained up. And when I said that I would get a fence for her here, he shut his mouth. He then repeated that he was very sorry, and then he said that he loved me. In my mind, I was like, "Yeah, you do. After all, I am the best kid you could ever have." But I didn't say anything to him in response. I don't love him. I have nothing but hate in my heart for him, and the way he acted last week further solidified that for me.

I shut the door in his face. He then left. I got my phone out and called Mom. I had to tell her what was going on. She said to not trust him, because he was most likely plotting something. Of course, I didn't need to be told that, because I already don't trust him. She said to not go there alone, and again, that is something I already know. She said that she would talk to my brother about helping me get Luca, her doghouse, and her food here. I am not really worried about the food, because I can always get more. The house though, that is something I have had for more than ten years. Luca had her puppies in that doghouse, and I won't leave it. So whenever Mom gets my brother to come out here and do that, I will have my dog again. I will just have to save up my money to buy the fence for her. I need $209, and right now I have $50.

I told Carma about everything when she arrived. She said the same things Mom said. Dad certainly seems predictable, if more than one person is saying the same things about him. It certainly seems weird that he is so different from one week to the next. I don't care, because once Luca is back in my life, I will have no reason to see my father anymore. He made his choice, and now I have made mine. When I know that Luca is safely in my possession, I plan on telling Dad to shove it and that I will be getting a protection order or something if he ever comes near me again. I am done with his outbursts. The only reason I haven't done it yet was because of Luca.

Today the roofing inspector came by. I don't know much about the whole thing, but the people who did the roof are checking up on it or something. I don't know. Carma was sleeping, so I had to help them out.

Today I played Final Fantasy X HD. I am at the North side of the Moonflow now. I tried to play Drakengard today, but I couldn't get the motivation to do it. All that Square-button mashing. Nier was supposed to arrive today, but I guess the seller had a gallbladder infection and a surgery last week. So it wasn't even sent out until today.

Tomorrow Carma has a court meeting. So I will be here alone for most of the day. Joey won't even be getting off the school bus here tomorrow. Anyway, this means I can play without fear of being bothered by him. Yay!

Well, that's all for now. I am off to bed, where I will sleep under the covers in case we have a blizzard. Seriously, winter sucks. It had it's time to be all wintry, and now it is someone else's turn. Like summer's. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!
