A child's confusion
The characters belong to capcom. Standard disclaimers apply. I don't think
I've posted an angst fic here before.This is from Mel Masters point of
view.

What's going on? Why is mommy crying? What is Ryu doing with Daddy? Why
won't they tell me anything? Are mommy and daddy getting divorced? I'm
confused.

Sean pulls me away. He says "Your mommy and daddy have to talk with Ryu."

"Why?" I asked.

"I can't explain". Why do grown-ups always keep things from me? Why can't
they just tell me?

Now Ryu is leaving. Daddy follows him and hugs him.Then he kisses him.
They both look sad. I try not to cry. I don't want them to be sad! I don't
want mommy to cry! Mommy follows them. Ryu is gone. Mommy and daddy start
to fight.

Sean is hugging me. He feels the same way I do. He keeps me from seeing
mommy and daddy fight but I hear it.

"How could you?" mommy asks. She sounds sad and angry at the same time.

"Eliza, I..." daddy starts to say.

"Save it! I don't want to hear excuses!"

"Nothing happened!"

"What I saw counts as something!"

"We were just..."

"Don't try to tell me that you two were training!"

"Eliza. I love you!"

"You sure didn't show it!"

"You never could accept me for being bisexual."

"So now you're blaming this on me?"

Now they are cursing and yelling even more. I try not to hear what they
are saying. It hurts too much. I want the hurt to go away! It's a really
long time before the yelling becomes less loud.

"I'm telling you, nothing happened!" daddy still says.

"Are you trying to say that you've never made love to Ryu?"mommy asks.

"No.I...I..."

"You still love him. Don't you?" Mommy asks. She isn't yelling anymore.

"Yes." Daddy says.He isn't yelling either. It sounds like he and mommy are
both crying.

"He still loves you. I won't stand in your way."

They aren't fighting anymore but I know something is wrong. I still don't
understand. Sean hugs me tighter. He's crying too.
