On the 14th September 1994, Alyssa and Leroy Vitale brought a little bundle of joy to the world, Logan Ryan Vitale was born, he had Dark Brown hair with brown eyes, that looked like chocolate orbs. When Logan was 8 his mother was pregnant again, she had a baby Girl, born on the 22nd of January 2004, they named her Cynthia Rose Vitale. She looked like her mother with dark brown hair but she had big bright blue eyes, Alyssa had an affair with another man, and that's were Cynthia came from, her blue eyes were from the other man, not Leroy.
On Cynthia's 2nd birthday, Leroy noticed her blue eyes and got curious, but he pushed it aside and continued with his daughters birthday. The end of the day came around and Cynthia fell asleep in Logan's arms while he was rocking her, he got up from the lounge and walked up stairs and put her in her cot. He kissed his hand and placed it on her forehead.
"Goodnight" Logan whispered.
Down stairs Leroy and Alyssa were in the kitchen cleaning up the rubbish from presents and dinner. The thought was still in the back of Leroy's head 'why does Cynthia have blue eyes and Logan doesn't' Leroy couldn't wait any longer.
"Honey?" Leroy says putting rubbish in the garbage bin
"Yes" Alyssa says wrapping the leftover food and placing it in the fridge and turning around to face her husband
Leroy took a deep breath and said "Why does Cynthia have blue eyes when yourself, Logan and I don't?" looking Alyssa straight in the eyes, Leroy noticed that she was looking everywhere else besides him.
"I don't know why do you ask" Alyssa says hesitantly walking over to the other side of the kitchen cleaning the bench to avoid his eye contact. She jumps slightly as Leroy walks up behind her and roughly turns her around.
"tell me!" he says tightening his grip on her arm making her whimper from the pain. Leroy lets go of her arm and turns away from her only to turn back around and slap her across the face, causing her to fall to the ground.
"TELL ME WOMAN, IS SHE MY CHILD OR NOT!" Leroy yells from above her, face red with anger and fist's clenched by his side.
"i'm so sorry" Alyssa says barely a whisper "it was a one time thing, and Cynthia was the outcome" she takes her hand away from her cheek and places it on the bench top to pull herself up from the floor.
"A one time thing, a one time thi- Alyssa it was never meant to be a one time thing, your my wife for heaven's sake, your not meant to have an affair with another man" Leroy says walking up to her and grabbing her again. "AND AFTER FOUR YEARS YOU'RE TELLING ME MY OWN DAUGHTER ISN'T EVEN MINE, IS LOGAN MINE? PLEASE TELL ME ATLEAST HE IS MINE!" he yells, his breath become laboured.
"yes Logan is yours but Cynthia's not, I'm sorry" Alyssa says, whimpering as she feels his hand tighten around her arms. He lets go of her arms and moves away from her and kicks the Dinner table sending it into the bench, breaking it into pieces.
"I want her out, I don't want her anymore, she doesn't belong here" he says once he calms down a bit.
Alyssa looks at him dumbfounded "your telling me to give up my own daughter?, I won't do it." she says walking out of the kitchen to find Logan in the hallway.
"why does dad not want Cynthia?" Logan asks
"honey, Dad does want her he ju-" but she got cut off by Leroy storming out of the kitchen yelling
"like hell do I want a baby girl that's not even mine, she gone. Tonight!" storming up stairs into the bedroom dialling some Orphanage to put her in.
Alyssa starts crying as she walks to the lounge room followed by Logan who is also in tears. It was silent until Logan broke it
"if she goes I go" he says, his mum looks up at him
"what no, no I'm no-" Logan cut her off
"I don't care, if dad wants her gone than so am I" and with that he went upstairs to his bedroom and started packing some essentials for both himself and Cynthia. Cynthia will have to grow up without knowing her parents, her mum that had an affair with another man and her dad that disowned her for not being his.
Logan heard his parents door open and quickly hid the suitcases under his bed. Leroy entered his room and sat on his bed.
"Logan, Cynthia's not living with us anymore, so I need you to say goodbye" his father said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm going with her" Logan mumbled
"what?" his father asks "speak up I can't hear you"
"I'M GOING WITH HER" Logan yelled grabbing his backpack from underneath his bed and putting it on his back, he did the same with Cynthia's except only slinging it over one arm and exited the room to go get Cynthia from her cot.
Logan gently woke Cynthia up "Wake up Cynthia" as her eyes fluttered open, she smiled instantly when she saw him, that made him smile too.
"hey little sis, you have to come with me" he says picking her up and walking down stairs, walking past the lounge room, his mother still there.
"Son please, don't go" She says noticing him as he walked away.
"I have to, father doesn't want Cynthia and I can't have that I know that I'm young but they'll take me with her because I will not let her out of my sight. He says opening the front door, stepping outside, cradling a sleeping Baby.
"ok well I guess nothing your father or I could say will change your mind" she says hugging herself standing in the doorway "so you can leave, I don't want to see you or her ever, you have disgraced this family by sticking up for the girl, so leave know!" she says
Logan couldn't believe her, she fought with her husband to keep Cynthia, but know changed her mind completely , she doesn't want him or her.
"ok, i will, you won't see us ever again, I'll tell Cynthia when she's older that her parents didn't want her, that should make her feel really loved" he said turning around walking across the lawn to the sidewalk. From this day on, Logan Ryan Vitale is the only family Cynthia Rose has he will love her like a parent should.
Now, where is the closest Orphanage?
