Denial Chapter Two
Ezra felt like his world was spinning. He couldn't let his parents ruin another kid. No, even if this one was only four. "Ezra?" he heard his voice being called by Peter. But it seemed so far away. He slid to the floor, trying to push the memories of strained "family outings" when he was younger, of the midnight fights as he would struggle to stay asleep.
"Ezra!" he heard Peter again, only it was farther away. "It's happening again..." Ezra managed to say before he fell to the floor.
**Two hours later**
Daisy sat next to Ezra, who laid on one of the nurse's cots. "Ez?" she asked quietly. His eyes opened slowly. "Daisy? Where am I?" he asked. "You fainted, after you talked to your mother." she explained. It all came back to him. "Oh..." he mumbled. "Can I talk to Peter?" he asked weakly. Daisy sighed but nodded.
Peter walked in. "Hey, Ezra. How are you?" Peter asked. "Peter, they got another kid." Ezra said bitterly. "I thought they divorced..?" Peter asked in disbelief. "I guess not. It's not like they ever told me the truth." Ezra snapped then apoligized.
"Who's the kid they adopted?" Peter asked after a few minutes. "Bren. He's four." Ezra answered. "Four, and soon they're going to ruin his life of course."
"Ezra, I know they've be bad to you, but do you think they could actually want a son?" Peter questioned. "I never said they didn't want a kid, but they got him and me to save them, not out of love." Ezra responded.
"Ezra, they could really want a kid to love. Maybe they have changed." Peter tried to reason. "They didn't change, damnit! They just want to save themselves, and I'm not gonna believe it even if they do say they LOVE Bren for Bren and not as an object!"
"Are you ready to leave?" Peter asked. "Yeah. Is it okay if I go see Kaylen?" Ezra asked. "I'd prefer-" "Please, Peter?" Ez begged. "Okay." Peter decided.
Ezra smiled gratefully and stood up. He had to sit back down becuase he sat up to fast, but then walked out. Peter sighed. He just hoped Ez didn't push away the CLiffhangers.
