"All this time he was a kept a secret! Why?"
It had become dark and rain had begun to pour itself upon earth.
"No, I don't believe you…"The ice-cold rain soaked his clothes completely.
"Ben, you have to listen to us."
His throat had started to ache severely from the cold air and the sharp breaths he kept taking as he continued to run.
"All this time I was lied to…A-All this time…"His heart was pounding in his ears as his legs began to throb with pain.
"You don't understand John's reasons."
House number 345 looked the same as it use to as the young teen ran up the steps and onto the porch.
"I don't care about his reasons!"His fist pounded on the door over and over and over again.
"Y-You're n-not my Uncle a-anymore."
Suddenly, the door flew opened as Patricia Wrought revealed herself.
"Don't say that, Ben…Please, don't say that."
"Ben?"
"Ben, don't be this way…""H-He l-lied…I-I didn't know…I swear I didn't k-know…"
"Ben!"Without another word, Ben felt the older woman pull him into her comforting arms as he allowed himself to just cry. The pain had been cut deep within his very soul and pierced his emotions like a sharp knife.
"I got you, honey." He wrapped his arms tighter around her as she gently ran her hair through his soaked hair and kept him close to her.
Okay, this is a super short chapter and I probably should have added it onto the last chapter. But I think it was probably needed as a stand-alone chapter. I promise that there will not be another short chapter like this…Well, can't promise, but try. Hope you enjoyed it!
