Blake POV
I could not believe Fallon, she was acting really immature which was not the norm for her. What was she thinking going on a rampage like that didn't she realize that she was just giving Alexis exactly what she wanted. I was about to open the door to her bedroom in order to confront her about her behavior with the gun as well as the scene in the pool when I heard something. It was soft muffled cries, and I could hear her muttering something to herself. I open the door slowly and quietly. I found her curled up in a ball crying her eyes out into a pillow on her bed. I go over to her, lie down next to her and for the first time since she was a small child I just wrap my arms around her and hold her close. She cries into my chest.
"What is so wrong with me that my own mother would want to leave me, am I really that much of an unlovable monster, why doesn't Mom love me" she cries
I wish I had an easy answer for her. Ever since she was a baby Fallon had always been my little girl, even then she hardly ever cried, once she broke her wrist when she fell from a horse and still not a tear. That was why it was so hard to see her crying now, I knew she must really have to be hurting for her to react like this. She tried to pretend that she was tough in front of others but she was still human.
"Sweetheart, my darling little girl, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you I promise, there is everything wrong with Alexis. You are not unlovable or unloved, you have been and always will be my little girl. I'm so sorry that I put so much on you, sometimes through all your brilliance and macurity I forget that in many ways you are still just a little girl who felt left behind by her own mother".
" Daddy, do you love me" she asks
I know she is seriously asking. The fact the she has to ask breaks my heart, I know I'm not exactly father of the year but I need to tell my children that I love them more now.
" Baby girl I love you more than anything in this world, all of this around us, it can all be replaced, but you my beautiful, brilliant, magnificent daughter are the one thing in my life that is truly irreplaceable and priceless.
I continued to hold her until she cried herself to sleep. I swear I am going to kill Alexis for this. My Fallon never cries, or at least I have never seen her cry. I start wondering about how many other times she might have cried herself to sleep without me there to help her. No one is made of stone no matter however hard we try to be, everyone feels pain. I love her so much. I am really regretting not telling her that more.
