My Son is Safe by

etherealflaim I’m safe. Those two words echo through my head even when other thoughts push their way in. And yet, I know it’s not really true. At least it’s not something I can totally believe, at least not yet. Not when it’s only been a few hours. Not when my dad comes back into the room and looks like he’s lost except for when he looks at me.
Uncle Mike is gone.
I want to believe he’ll come back. I mean my dad is still here. I’m still here. He made it out of Sona. I want to keep the faith but I can’t help but think that maybe his luck’s run out. I know what I said to that bitch. I also know it’s just him now.
I wish I’d been there. I would’ve told him not to go. I wouldn’t reverted back to that kid that hated to leave my Uncle Mike or hated to have him leave me. I would’ve cried and begged and not been ashamed.
I want to ask my dad what Uncle Mike said. What did he say back. They probably didn’t say much. They were never much for talking.
I hope a lot was said. That they yelled and screamed maybe even threatened to punch each other. It shouldn’t have been a clean break. Not after everything.
It’s hard to know what to feel now. Happy that my dad stayed. Mad that he didn’t go. Happy that Uncle Mike went. After all, I went after Kellerman and nobody would’ve been able to talk me out of it. Mad that he couldn’t stay.
I’m safe but I’m still afraid.
