A few weeks passed. Elie and Bradin grew apart. They only talked about once, if they were lucky, twice a week. Weeks soon turned into months and Christmas time arrived. Bradin was hoping that Elie would come home and spend at least a few days with him. Elie, on the other hand, was raising money and toys for charities and hospitals in California. All of the kids loved her and Denise. As the two girls were playing with several kids at a Los Angeles hospital, they both heard something they never thought they'd hear in front of kids who were at young ages.
Bradin and Nikki were watching MTV as they waited for dinner two days before Christmas. It was ten to the hour and MTV News came on. They began talking about Mariah Carey and other celebrities. Then, they mentioned Elie's name making everyone gather around the television as they showed the incident in the hospital.
"Who do you thinkthey are!" Elie yelled to another dancer of Chris Brown's, "You don't go and tell kids that Santa isn't real!"
"Oh but I can," the girl said.
"You just ruined their life! Not only did their parents start working more to pay off these bills, not only are they feeling lonely, sad, and confused, now they don't have anything to believe in anymore!"
"What's it to you!"
Elie sighed and calmly said, "Because I know what these kids are going through. I lied about my life. The only thing I didn't lie about is why I left Florida. Go on and make fun of me. I don't give a damn anymore." Then, they showed Elie leaving the hospital.
Bradin stared at the television not believing what he just heard and saw.
A/N: sorry it was so short. i didn't wanna rush into what was going on just yet.
