A broken father

An average human's lifespan is 70-80 years. So lets sit here and think a while. Children don't learn to read until they are about five to six years old and even then they absolutly deplore reading, so that leaves people above the age of 13, but this story is intended for mature readers only so that clearly means no one under the age of 18. And let us say that 18 year old children, and yes I do believe they are still children, managed to go to college and get a good steady job, by the time they are settled into a rutiene, it will take a few years. A good college in itself takes up four years of one's life, and to find and settle into a job is another two years so we're looking at people 24 and older who may or may not have the time to sit and read a story such as this one. But here we're assuming this certain 24 year old person does not want to get married.

Okay so let's say this 24 year old is a man and let's say this 24 year old man found that one person that might complete him, one whom he came to a mutal understanding with. Here I am not saying that love does not exist, I am only saying this young man did not see love in her, only thought he saw love, when in actuality he saw lust. Now let us stray into the lives of these two people. one is cooking while the other is finishing backed up paperwork from a meaningless desk job he got not too long ago. They moved in together when they felt as though they were mutaly compatibal. Now the man will ask her to marry him and together they will start planning for the upcoming wedding. This entire arrangment will take up another year of a person's life, then with marriage comes children that will grow to follow their parents and start a life of their own. now we have a 37 year old man with three children and a dying love life. Still he has not found the time to get on the computer to read this story, still he has not been able to have time to himself. after all he has a seven year old, a five year old and a newborn to care for while his wife is out fucking some man she just met two days ago.

The man knowing this turns to his best friend for comfort and a football game here and there. His best friend whom we shall call shawn, comes over on a regular basis. tells the man to get a devorse and get on with his life, but all these years spent with the same woman has changed him. He no longer cares what happens as long as his children have both their parents. Deep down he cares for the woman who cheats on him daily and refuses to let anyone else in his life.

So here we have a 40 year old broken man taking care of his children and giving them a good life, wife no where to be seen. She left him years ago for a person who murdered her for the life insurance he had on her. The death of his exwife hits him hard and he seeps into a depression of some sort, thus not wanting to do anything, let alone read this story. This 40 year old man looks at his oldest son who has just turned 10 and smiles at him though he knows his son has turned out gay. This man, being a caring father, never will care who his son decides to be with, as long as in the end he is happy.

now the man is 46, his oldest child being 16, comes home with his first boyfriend. A boy that resembles a close friend of his. Shawn stopped coming by three years ago when he was in a car crash and became paralized from the weist down. Now this man is alone and broken beyond repair. "Dad." The oldest boy calls but the father no longer pays any attention. He never took up drinking so the oldest boy never had to live with a drunken father, but the silence still hurts him. "This is Damien." He introduces his boyfriend with a smile. The man looks up and nods his approval of the boy before going back to remembering the good old days.

Damien never questions the reaction, never asks if the man is okay, never wonders about anything. the 16 year old slowly grows, having no one by his side besides his family and boyfriend Damien who never seems to want to leave him. He is now 21 with a bright future ahead of him having graduated highschool at a young age. He goes to a movie with Damien and comes home to see his father on the ground crying. he never saw what came next, he never noticed the gun being aimed at him, nor did he realise the trigger being pulled, not until it was too late. Being shot in the heart hurts, as many have said. his heart refused to give up and continues to beat, and with every beat he feels a sharp stabbing pain in his chest. He coughs up blood as he looks at his father with questioning eyes. The only question being why.

The father looks at his son with broken eyes but never answers. never questions his behavior, never accepts the fact that he just killed his own son. Damien walks into the house, wanting to give his boyfriend the keys he had left behind. He stumbles into the room and falls to his knees sobbing uncontrolably and screaming at the old man for his foolishness. How dare he kill the man he loved. How dare he kill his own son?

The man has no answers, no questions, no emotions to speak of. Damien calls 911 and cops, firetruks and ambulances arrive. taking the man away in chains Damien can sleep a bit better tonight. Seeing his boyfriend's dead face stairing blankly at him, will give him nightmares. Damien never forgets him, and never moves on. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gold wedding band and after placing it on his beloved's ring finger, stands and leaves the house. He doesn't look back as he walks to his car and drives home. He doesn't even sleep that night. he just lies there stareing at the ceiling with hopes that his love isn't truly dead. But no matter how he wishes, his love is indeed dead and nothing will bring him back

three years later finds Damien in the middle of the road walking away from yet another failed relationship. No one can take his love's place. No one can be that good to him. He was able to afford a gun not too long ago, and after the three day wait, finally got his gun. He never planned on using it, unless something happened that would in turn force him to use the gun he had gotten to protect his home.

He opens his door and walks into his room. Looking through the drawer he pulls out his hand gun before aiming it at his head and pulling the trigger. his body falls to the ground unchecked, unloved and alone. But he doesn't care, he will one day see his love again, in heaven or in hell.
