faithful

I came home around 4am to find my dad shoutin into the mobile at Mum. "What's the address I'll come pick you up now!!"
This proceeded for about 5 mins before I confront him. "Why the hell are you yellin?"
My dad burst into a rage about mum being drunk and staying the night somewhere.
I tell him to calm down only to be suggested that my mum is cheating on him? "What kind of marriage do you think this is?"
He would say. I stand there confused for a moment, then to be told I smell like smoke.

My dad then wakes up my sister to ask her about an address. Half awake she coughs up the info. Then out of the blue she is asked a question about her birthday present. "btw how much was ur watch, was it $3567. Very specific dad- why would you ask your daughter that? I'm listenin to this while I brush my teeth.

I Catch my dad before he leaves the house, "I'll go pick her up Dad; give me the address." To no reply he leaves.
I quickly ring my mum. Straight to message bank. Try again. I get her.
"Mum, Dad is acting psycho again."
She tells me that she knows he's coming and she just needs to rest. I let her know to call me if anything.
She calls my sister.

shit they're back.
car doors shut
no yellin for now.

I'm going to watch a movie now to stay awake if anything happens. Man my dad is a fucking time bomb. He has such a short fuse these days anything will send him over the edge. Lonely old man.
