Heeeeeeeeeeeey everybody I'm back! My things with school are a little more cold so I have some more time now. It's a short chapter, but decisive. Don't forget to review please!
"I am not."
"Vee please, we already talked about this…"
"Fine. Convince your daughter that this time I am not the responsible for this and I'll consider it."
"What does she think you did?" He asked her, who was leaning against the counter in the kitchen.
"Why don't you ask her?"
"This is not a moment for your plays."
"I am not playing."
"Fine."
He walked towards the back door, got out to the garden and called Charlotte. She didn't hear him calling her, so he must have used that trust skill he provokes in everybody.
A minute later, she heard the sound of the door. She saw him and Charlotte coming in.
"Okay. Why don't you tell me the reason why you don't want to leave?" He asked his daughter in front of her.
"Because I'm completely sure she screwed up with you at something… and she doesn't want to tell me."
"Well, she didn't, Charlotte. I am the one who had to beg her for you both to leave so you can be out of danger for some time."
"Do we really have to do it?" She said with a mix of sadness and resignation.
"Yes. It's the only way."
She looked down, and didn't say a word. Not again, she thought. "Fine."
Again, she felt responsible for everything. She was convinced it was her… even though she couldn't control what was happening and the danger that surrounded them didn't come for her but for both. One thing she was completely sure about: She was so tired. She didn't want to escape anymore, nor of the rest, of the danger, of herself. She wanted happiness, the most happy that she could be in this time she would be.
She wanted to know her grandchild, help raising it.
And she considered that the reason of all this started with her. Charlotte and the baby, the only that she cared most about, weren't safe because of her.
David too, but that was sometimes she had already assumed.
There was only one way of finishing this. Only one. And she felt guilty for even considering it, for not thinking about the consequences. But the truth is that she did; Actually, the matter is that the greatest good was to do it.
