Chapter 57

Caleb's POV

It had been a week since the camping trip and a week since I had spoken to any member of my family, excluding my mom. This was the longest I had ever gone without talking to either dad or Eric. It felt horrible like I was going against the very nature of who I was and in truth, it sucked. My family didn’t do this sort of thing. Whenever there was an issue, we never stayed mad at each other for this long.

Dad had tried to reach out on the first two days but I didn’t pick up his calls. After a while, he gave up completely. Eric, on the other hand, had not talked to me at all which informed me that he was pissed. I reckoned, the next time we saw each other, he would have some choice words to say to me.

In hindsight, I could have handled the whole thing better. I should have at least given my dad a chance to defend himself or allowed him an opportunity to talk to Brianna before we left. This could all have been one big misunderstanding.
