Chapter 14
Family Portrait
Kay watched Jessica answer the phone and turned back to the collection of cds she was looking through. Then she selected Mizz Understood by Pink. There was a paticular song she wanted to listen to as she thought about the changes in her life. And that was family portrait.
Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
said
Even though Grace had treated Kay badly, she still loved her mother and she hated to hear her crying at night after fighting with her father Sam. Maybe Grace was right, this was all her fault. But she did it out of love, anger and hurt. Charity had stolen everything from her. What hurt most even though she would never admit it to anyone was that she had stolen her mothers love.
Sighing she remembered a week ago when her mom and dad was fighting. Grace threw a coffee cup at him and said that her own daughter was evil and manipulative. Kay thought she wanted Sam to leave Grace, but she did at times feel bad for her mom, so she had told her dad that her mom never meant it, that she was only upset.
You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family
A tear slid down Kay's face as she thought about all the things her parents had fought about. Mostly her, but Ethan too, because he was Sam and Ivy's love child. At once she always knew that she could count on her house and her family but ever since charity came along it had been world war three and she was the enemy.
She didn't want Miguel's love for her to destroy anything else. Kay had to admit that she was partly to blame for the destruction of her family, but it wasn't completely her fault. It had been Grace, Sam, Charity's and her fault.
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave
Did Kay want to work it out? Did she want to be a family with Grace Sam and Charity? Or just sam and Jessica? It was so hard living through all of this. a couple months ago, Kay would have promised her mother that she would have done anything to keep her family together. But now, well maybe she was selfish but she just wanted Sam and Jessica in her family.
Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too
Kay normally would be saying the same thing as the song, but her mother had turned her back on her. She had no doubt Grace loved Sam, but she couldn't stand the fighting. On the other hand, she couldn't live without her father. Kay loved him with all her heart and knew her pregnancy hurt him. Why couldn't Grace love her too? At least her dad hadn't abandoned her too!
I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my
family
Kay had ran away, but in the end she had came back. or had her father come to get her. She couldn't hurt him anymore than she already had . With a sigh she got off the bed and took out a picture of her family that was taken during happier times.
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
'We did look happy' she thought brushing away a tear. I don't want to have to see Grace or Charity. But most likey she would have to. she was sure a judge would rule that Grace , supermom, Bennett could see her daughters.
She didn't want another half brother. Nothing personal against John, she just didn't want things more complicated than they already were. But it was too late for that. And it would never be the same again. Things were out of preportion.
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally
With a sad sigh, she shut the cd player off and began crying. Why did things have to turn out so bad for her???
On the other side of the room Jessica was taking her phone call.
"This is Jessica."
"Jessica, this is Nickolas White."
Nickolas White? Who was that?
"I am sorry, do I know you?"
"Unfortantly, I am the officer who arrested your mother." Nick said uncomfortably. He didn't know how someone would feel about their parent being arrested for assaulting their sister.
Jessica smiled. He really was interested in her! WoW! That was something new. "Oh, I see. How are you?"
"Good and you?"
"Fine. I am a bit surprised you called."
"Well," Nick said with a smile. "I just fell in love with your beautiful smile. Do you want to go to lunch with me tomorrow? If you are upset about your mom and don't want to I understand."
Jessica squealed to herself. A date! She had been asked on a date by a gorgeous guy. "I would love to Nick. No I am not upset, she deserved it!"
Nick decided not to comment on that. "Ok great. Can I pick you up there at at noon?"
"Definitly."
They talked on a few minutes, until Jessica noticed Kay crying. She hung up and went to comfort her sister.
a/n sorry so short, but I hoped you enjoyed it. In the next segement, Kay gives birth, did IVy and Sam become a couple? What happened to Grace and Charity? Give ne suggestions I haven't started writing it yet so I would take them into consideration.
