The Divorce
I feel someone nudging my arm and I open my eyes to see it was my two little children, Chloe and Noah. "Mommy can we sleep with you," Chloe asks me. I nod and they climb into the side of the bed that no one has slept in for two years. He left me with the kids after seventeen years. No one actually thought he would ever leave me, if anything they thought that I would leave him. I wouldn't, though. He never told me why he wanted the divorce. I cry over it for most of the day, if my kids are not in the house. I try to stay strong for them, but sometimes I just can't stand it. I see him in both of our kids. I won't fall into a depression like my mother did. My children wouldn't be able to live without me. They ask a lot about their father. I don't tell them much; I think Annie has told them more than I have. After that thought, I fall back to sleep.
When I wake up I notice that both of the kids have gone downstairs already. As I walk down the hallway I see Johanna. She gives me a small smile and says good morning. I murmur to her. "Morning," Then we walk down the stairs together. Johanna, my mother and Annie and her son, Finn, moved in after the divorce to make sure I'm doing ok. When we get down the stairs I see my mother, Annie and Finn in the kitchen with Chloe and Noah. "Morning Mommy," they both say. I give them a small smile and kiss the top of both of their heads. "How are you feeling today, Katniss?" Annie asks me. I just shrug and don't say anything. I walk into the living room and just start crying into the pillow on the couch. My mother comes and tries to comfort me, but it won't help so she gets up and leaves to probably go talk to my kids and take them to school. Then Finn comes down the stairs and sees me crying. He sits down beside me and starts to pat my back. "It will be all right, Katniss. I know you and I know that you can get through anything." Finn says to me. I look up to see his face and give him a small smile, but start crying again because he is an exact replica of Finnick. "It will be ok," He says while patting my back and standing up.
After a few more hours I get off the couch because I have to pick up my kids from school. I wipe away my tears and start to walk to the school. When I get there Noah runs over to me. I pick him up and ask him where his sister is. He just shrugs and I sit down on the grass with him in my lap. I then realize that I'm in the same spot under the tree I would spend time at when I went to school. I pull Noah closer to me and burry my face in his hair. He then asks. "Mommy, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, Hun," I tell him. He looks at me for a moment, but then turns back around. We sit for another five minutes until Chloe comes running over. "Where were you?" I ask her. She looks up at me and what she says takes me by surprise. "I was in the hallway and a man with blond hair and blue eyes told me he was my Daddy. Is he?"
Hey guys, tell me what you think in the reviews. And yes I know it's short.
