Chapter 38
"Baby, are you sure you want to do this? Sydney asked.
"Yes, I want my say." Laura said before she stood up and moved to the middle of the room.
She took a deep breath and started to speak.
"All of you here. You all have a connection to me somehow. Be it close or not. Some of you I don't even know. And some of you I love so much. Recently I have found out that my family is not normal. And all of you play a part in it."
Laura walked across to Sydney and looked at her.
"Mommy, I love so much. I know how hard things have between us recently. That my questions are bringing back bad times. Hurting you. You have started to tell me the truth, but I know that there is still more to go through. And I hope when I'm older it can be the way it is now. No secrets between us."
A few tears fell from Sydney's eyes and she chocked out a few words.
"I would love it if it could be like that."
Laura walked across to Irina and started to speak.
"Grandma Irina, I've only just started to hear about you. Your past, people's thoughts on you. And no matter what they say I know something about you. You love me, Mommy, Aunt Nadia and Grandpa Jack. To some you are this horrible person. But to me you are this loving person plain and simple."
Before Irina could say anything Laura had moved on to the next person Sloane
"I don't know much about you. A few details, your name, that you Aunt Nadia's father and that my mother hates you. Up until today I had never meet you before. I had only heard whispered mentions. But I know you were the centre of many arguments. You are part of the reason my family is the way it is. And what my grandmother said is true, If I could change things I would. So you are not around to cause problems."
Nadia stood up and walked towards to where Laura was standing and knelt down next to her.
"Why are you saying all these things?"
"Aunt Nadia, you are the only one who treats to me normally. Everyone treats me differently, wraps me up in cotton wool, fears me. All you here only hear what other people say, see what other people saw. This mistrust just goes around and around. A never-ending circle. Your all to blame for the problems not a select few. You can't look at yourselves and see that you might be to blame. All of this could have been stopped years ago if you bothered to listen before blaming.
Laura raised her voice to make her final statement.
"Can you all just talk to each other. Listen to each other. So we can finally get along and I can have my normal family."
A:N: So the story is coming to the end. Maybe one or two chapters left. Depending on where my brain decides to take me. But it's not all bad. Coming soon my new Story, Moments and maybe a follow up to this( depending on how I finish it of course!)
