All Zachery's life he's been raised by his mother, with no father. Out of jealously he didn't want to be friends with anybody. He considered himself a loner without a father like the other kids. He never saw he dad before and his mother says absolutely nothing about him. Sometimes he would think he never had a dad or that he left his mom. This is probably what any 13-year-old would say if they didn't have a father around to support them. But today was going to be different, he was going to ask his mom about his dad.

Zachery was in the car with his mom just getting off from school. He was getting ready to begin the conversation he had been waiting for all day. But before he could start his mom went, “How was school today, sweetie?”
“Okay,” he sinply said.
“Why okay?”
“Today was Donuts with Dad and everybody in my class had their dad with them.”
“Oh.” Suddenly he regretted bringing this up, but he was tired of not getting answers. Wondering everyday where could his father possiblily is.
“Mom why isn't dad around? You never talk about him. I don't even know his name.” The first tear started to fall from her eye and then she was raining. He comforted her and said, “Mom, don't cry. I didn't mean to make you sad.” Slowly mom started wiping her face and pulling herself together.
“No, Zach it's not you.' Sniff, sniff. ' It's never you.”
“Could you please tell me mom. It's hard going everyday and wondering.”
“Okay. The day I had you was the best day of my life. I was at home expecting you to come any day that week. Your father was at work. At 2:17 in the afternoon my water broke, and let me tell you it was...”
“Mom your not really going to got into that, right?”
“Oh, no. Of course not son. Anyway I callled your father and told him I would drive yo the hospital at around 3:00. my sister would meet me their.”
“And?”
“My sister was their when I came. She had my doctor ready for my labour. Thirty minutes later a doctor came in and told me my husband had gotten into a accident. He told me the changes were low of your dad making it throw.” Sniff, sniff
“Mom please keep going. This is important
Sniff, sniff. “An 18-wheeler had went directly into the driver's side.I sad, but then five minutes later you came out. I was confused, happy that you were born. Still sad tough, because your father was in another dying.”
Suddenly Zachery started crying. He didn't even know his father, but he felt attached in some way. He held in his crying for so long. All these years he thought his dad didn't want him or that he wasn't important enough. But now he knew the truth. He was important enough.
“Sweetie I'm sorry shutting you out. I just didn't want you to suffer and go through all the pain I went through. Don't ever think you dad didn't love you. The day I told him I was having you he nearly jumped ten feet off the ground. Your'e special to both of us. Don't you ever forget that no matter what any body tells you. Okay?”
“Okay. I love you mom and thanks for telling me.”
“Welcome, sport. How about an icecream?”
“Cookies and Cream.”
After that day Zachery didn't let the fact of his dad not be around mess with them. He was always in a good mood and even made some new friends.
