Of Fire and Ice
I don't own anything from W.I.T.C.H but I do own the minor characters.
Chapter 10
After that out burst days went from lonely to really cold. Dad seems more nervous now and my brother just glares at him. Mom just looks defeated or just really down and out. I get ready to go to school like usual. Today is the last day before we go off for break. I say brightly, "good morning." All I get is grunts and yeah wonderful, my smile immediately dies and I mentally groan. 'There's something my family isn't telling me. WHY AM I LEFT IN THE DARK?' I just go to school hoping for a slightly better day. For the past few days I've been going on the bus. I have everything thrown on me but I just stew. My head begins to get a little foggy with questions with why is everyone in a bad mood. When will things get back to normal? Suddenly I black out for a few minuets hearing something horrible.
"Lionel you have been staying at work so late, are you angry with me?"
"No, Theresa it's just I feel really lonely."
"…I'm sorry this had to happen, Lionel really I am but I still need to know if you're supporting me."
"……………………………………………………………………………….."
"Lionel?"
Peter walks in and frowns "So dad when are we going to meet her?"
"…………………………………………………………………………….."
"Her? Peter what are you talking about?"
"Dad knows who I'm talking about mom. I've been spying on him and found him with a blond girl with pretty bright blue eyes."
"…Lionel is this true?"
"Theresa I…never meant to hurt anyone she's someone I can talk to."
"….WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING TO ME! I WOULD'VE TALKED TO YOU! YOU'RE TREATING ME LIKE A BLOOD THIRSTY CRIMINAL!"
"….Please, Theresa, be reasonable."
"REASONABLE WE'RE WAY PAST THAT LIONEL! DOES THIS MEAN YOU GIVE UP ON ME? LIONEL I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" Sobs
Dad hugs mom "I'm so sorry Theresa. I'm not dating her I promise. I do love you and always will, but the police make it really hard for us to communicate with you."
"…Lionel perhaps you all should leave me here and go to your mother's. It's obvious this whole situation has the whole family down. I notice Taranee looking almost as defeated as me."
Peter interrupts "MOM PLEASE I CAN'T STAND BEING AWAY FROM YOU!"
"Peter is right Theresa we all are going to face this together. We just need to try to have brighter spirits that's all."
I don't know how but I manage to make it in class and do my work. Mrs. Roberts asks, "Taranee is something wrong?"
A small smile appears on my face and I answer, "No everything will be just fine."
As the hours pass I go home with brighter spirits that my family isn't going to fall apart. We can face anything we're Cook's.
