Connor's Pov: I just turned 9 yesterday but no one seemed to care. My sister ruffled my hair with shades of sky blue. Many of my friends compare my hair with Gurens since it is formatted the same. My parents took a year cruise ship to alaska but i'm not sure why. Moving in with my aunt and uncle was pretty suprising to me. Zoey started to comb her long brown hair with her pink brush.
"Hey Connor." She asked "Do you want to go to the Daltons diner with me and auntie?"
I nodded and ran to Guren's room which was now my room. Max's ears were lowered and his eyes were watery. He purred lying on the bed. I couldn't help but lower my head in disapointment. What has happened to him? everyone was in silence. I changed my clothes wearing a green long sleeved t-shirt, short blue jeans and black sneakers. After i got changed i rushed downstairs to my sister who wore her fushia summer dress given by my mother in which it was knee lengthed with cream colored sandals. My uncle was at work running a very succesful bussiness at Benham Tower. So i rarely get to see him.
"You ready to go?" Zoey asked looking at me. I nodded my aunt smiled at the both of us and lead us out of the house.
Angela's Pov: I was glad to have Zoey and Connor keep me company but my heart was in pain. I wanted to know where my son was and if he is i feel as if you are afraid to tell me the reason why we cant keep our son. Theres many quiestions i wanted to know. Why would Sabrina and Charles just leave their children with me and Chris. I was thankful to be in perfect health again. Both of the children had their mothers creamy hazel colored eyes.
"Hey Auntie." Connor said stopping my trail of thoughts " It's getting pretty dark."
Zoey looked at Connor with a look of unpleasure "Be quiet Connor its not like they close anytime soon." Connor crossed his arms and closed his mouth. Zoey started to call one of her friends on her cell phone in which irritated Connor.
"Please be on your best behavior." I begged "I know you two are more behaved then this." Both Connor and Zoey's cheeks turned a bright pink.
"Y..Yes Auntie." They both said walking at my pace. I loved being outside feeling the fresh air. The last time that i had ever felt this feeling was when Guren was 8 years old. Me and Chris took him to the beach for the very first time. I wonder what happened to those times i understand that Chris is extremely busy. But would he put work before his family?
Guren's Pov: I decided to change my destination and head to Benham Tower. But that would risk passing by the diner. I personally wanted to talk face to face with my father and force the answers to come out of his lips. I wanted to know where i stand in his eyes or even if i mattered to him. I heard my mothers voice reach out to me. I saw Connor and Zoey walk beside her. I wonder if she recognized me or not.
"Excuse me." She stood in front of me "Have you seen a boy in this picture?" She showed me a picture of me playing in the sand at MistWater beach a couple years ago. I honestly didnt know what to say either to admit that i am her son or to lie and say i never seen this boy in my life. "And if you have seen him do you know where he is." Zoey added.
I took a short breath "The young boy passed away yesterday from a illness his last words were..." My voice trailed off even if i was to die i would be unsure of what my final words would be. Connor looked down to the ground and started crying. My mothers eyes widened "What was his last words."She said in shock. I felt pressure being built on to me. Zoey pulled Connor into a hug to calm him down.
"All you need to know is that he died!" I yelled startling her. She buried her face into her hand and fell to her knees which had shocked Zoey and Connor. I wanted to cry in to her arms and tell her i was a idiot but the tears wouldnt come to me. In fact i felt completly emotionless with her. "Please dont cry Auntie." Zoey persuaded "You promised us that you would be strong." Connor nodded and tried to smile. My mother continued to sob rather loudly. Zoey and Connor ran straight into her arms which caused her to cry softer. She wrapped her arms around them.
"Thank you Zoey." She said in a thankful tone "You reminded me of my duties as a mother, now a mother of you and Connor. What would i have done if you two werent here." The feelings of sorrow had filled them. "Are you going to be okay?" Connor asked softly. She nodded and stood up wipeing her tears with her left hand "Lets not stay here anymore."
"Me and Connor will let you have some time alone." Zoey offered "We will met you at the diner okay mommy." Connor added. My mother was suprised. I wanted to punch Connor but at the same time i couldn't. He was my mothers happiness along with my father. While i was a disapointment to her. Once Connor and Zoey left my mother turned to me and we locked eye contact. "If anyone has made a grave for my son i want you to place this glass heart locket on his grave." She handed it to me. "Why would you give this to me?" I looked at the heart locket with displeasure. She smiled softly "Why you ask? I wouldn't have the guts to face the fact of my sons death and the emotions that i am feelings. As a mother i am suppose to protect my child but just now hearing of his death has made me realize that i was no good for him. A parent dies before their child in which i failed at."
what a failure i was... having my mother consume false information. Was i of importance to her? We both parted ways. I started riding on my liftboard to Benham Tower. if i did tell her who i was she would never look at me. In fact i felt like a monster with no feelings. I will find my father.
