Ch.14
It was now 12:45 in the afternoon. Today was a special day for his two daughters. Today was their second birthday. It started out as a good morning. They both woke up at 8:00 and ate their breakfast. He then gave them each a bath and dressed them. After that he put all of Marie's shoulder length dark brown hair up and did the same with Bianca's dark brown hair that was a couple inches below her shoulders. After that, he too got ready and they left. He took them wherever they wanted to go. The two girls wanted to go to McDonald's to eat lunch, so he brought them. When they finished lunch, they went to the park. That was where they were now. He sat on the bench, watching them as they ran around with each other. He watched as they played and started to remember when he was younger and playing with his brother and sister. He remembered everything that they did with each other and how well they always had gotten along. He then remembered how he hadn't seen his family in two years. A long two years that still hurt him to this day. It hurt him just thinking about how they didn't bother to even help him with everything. He had quickly gotten over that though, when he saw his two girls. The only two people that had really mattered to him now were his daughters. As he sat there, watching them, he had heard a very familiar voice behind him. He didn't want to turn around, knowing that it was true. He didn't have to though. The person came up to him and sat down right next to him. As she turned her head, she was shocked more than she ever could be.
"Oh, my, god!" she exclaimed, "Chris?" He sighed before slowly turning his head to look at her.
"Yeah, it's me," he replied. She just stared at him, before catching him off guard with a hard slap across the face. He sat there, completely shocked by this.
"What the hell was that for?" he asked, angrily.
"What was that for? Well, how about having mom and dad run around for two years trying to find you and coming up with nothing. Do you have any idea what you put our family through," she responded, just as angry. This had gotten him past angry. He looked at her like he was ready to explode.
"Excuse me! Do you have any idea what I have been through? No, you don't. How about burying the only person you have loved just three days after she gave birth. Then, trying to raise two kids by yourself because your parents are to self-centered to help you. Finally, having to try and stay away from your family because of everything they put you through. I doubt it very much that they bothered to even tried to find me. If they did then they would have considering I only live 20 minutes from them. Why do you care anyways? You're the ones who kicked me out when I needed you the most. So, you know what? I don't care what you say, because there's no way that I put your family through half of what you guys put me through," he yelled in her face, before getting up and leaving with his two daughters. Melinda just sat there, with tears in her eyes, and watched as her brother walked out of her life once again.
