The Ocean Blue
Chapter 2 Arguments
"I'm going to get John and mother!" And Annibell runs up the stairs. "John! Mother! Guess what? Guess what?" she said excitedly as she ran into her parents' room.
John and her mother, Gina, were sitting on a bed talking. When Annibell ran in, they looked at her.
"What? What is it? What happened?" asked John concerned.
Annibell is still smiling. "Christian came back! He's home! He's downstairs right now. You've got to come! Come, come!" She motioned them to go with her downstairs to Christian.
Her mother sighed while John breathed heavily. "Annibell," her mother said. "You know that we, your brother and I, have grown to… dislike him ever sisnce he went to that dreadful town."
"Yes, I know but –," Annibell started but was cut off by her brother.
"We needed him then. Father was sick. He had cancer, and Christian didn't bother. He just got on that train and left us."
"Yes, but he did that because father was treating him badly," Annibell stated.
"He was not treating him badly, Annibell!" yelled her mother. "He was treating him the best way a father could have. All Christian does is sit around talking about love and how good it is. Talking about truth, beauty, and freedom. That is not how a man is supposed to talk about. Not to mention think."
"Not all men have to be pathetic and rude like father was!" Annibell retorted. After a second she realized what she had just said. Now, I have to be strong. That is what I've always thought about father… Thought Annibell. It was bound to come out sooner or later…
John and her mother both gasped.
"Don't dare talk about father like that! Even if he did die, there's no reason you should have said that!" argued John.
"Fine then! I'm leaving!" said Annibell, and stomped into her room to. She got her suitcase and put everything she could into it. All of her belongings, of course, and her money.
Christian, who was downstairs, heard the whole argument. He could not believe it. He could not believe what he had just heard. Father… Dead? Thought Christian. He never did like his father, but he does feel a little sad. Anyway, he's nothing compared to Satine… He thought.
He started to hear footsteps on the stairs. He quickly came out of his thoughts and looked up at who was coming down the stairs. It was Annilbell. He saw that she had a suitcase.
"What in the blazes –," He started.
"I'm leaving," said Annibell putting on her shoes and grabbing her coat. "I'm not wanted here anymore."
"Well…. You can't go out there by yourself! You'll starve! You'll be on the streets!" said Christian.
"Fine, then you're coming with me," she said and grabbed his suitcase and his hand, and walked out the door.
When they got out the door and onto the sidewalk, Christian asks, "But… What about John and mother?"
"They hate us now. They don't want us to come back."
"Oh…"
