bittersweet equestria

It was 2 days after the glorious birthday party with the cake and being able to see his father after almost a year. His father had to back to war the next day and from his bedroom, Jake heard his parents arguing about something. “All you care about is yourself you cheating pig!” yelled jakes mother. “I assure you honey, there are no women on the barracks! They separate us!” Assured jakes father. Jakes mom had always been a paranoid person and tended to make fasle accusations a lot.  She had bipolar disease and often had severe mood swings. She had even once accused jake’s father of stealing something that she had in her pocket unknowingly. “Get out of my house!” yelled jakes mom. “get the fuck out you pig! And never come back!” she continued. “I am sorry it has come to this and I will leave, just please let me say goodbye to our son before I leave” stated jakes father. “no get out now! I will not have you teaching him the ways of your grubby filthy man ways! My baby is too good for you!”. Jakes father let out a sigh and walked towards the door.  Jake was in tears, he did not want his father to go away again. He ran outside at his dad into the driveway and hugged him. “how long are you going to be gone?” cried jake “ I don’t want you to go away again!” “ quite a while I am afraid, daddy has to back to Iraq” said his father in a calm voice.  Before any of them could continue the goodbye jakes mother ran out “jake! Get your fucking ass in this house right now before I beat the shit out of you!

“but mommy” cried poor jake. “daddy has to go back to the war, I might never see him again”. “I do not give a rats ass about your cheating father anymore, what happens to him I don’t care about!”. Jake cried and ran off to his room, It was two days later that Jake’s father had been killed by a roadside bomb.

“Excuse me?” said a female voice to Jake as he snapped back into reality. “is anyone sitting here?”. It was a fairly attractive girl that Jake had been eyeing for the past couple days, he even thought he was starting to get a crush on this girl. Jake blushed and replied “umm no there isn’t, why?” in a timid voice. “oh nothing really I’m glad I just needed to take this chair if that’s ok” Jake’s insides sunk, the look on his face was similar to that of when his puppy died back in the 5th grade.
