The thought of Sean kept breaking me, I was still on the floor, crying when it clicked. Sean had told me some people his parents were owing killed them and my uncle just so happened to come around and take custody of him? It didn’t make any sense but it also did. I stormed out of the room, angry.“Take the bag, the address is on......” My uncle started saying when he saw me.“You killed his parents, right?” I asked and this time my voice firm and not shaky.“Who are we talking about?” My uncle asked and something in me told me he knew exactly who I was talking about but he just decided to play dumb.“You know who I’m talking about damn well. Sean!” I yelled, angry and demanding answers.“Oh. They’re all dead. Talking about them now won’t let them Rest In Peace.” He said with no ounce of remorse, just trying to keep calm.“What do you know about peace?” I yelled and my uncle was shocked as was I because I had no idea where I had mustered the courage to talk to him in this manner.“
The sound of the door slamming jolted me awake and I opened my eyes to see Connor walking in with a tray of food.“How long have I been sleeping?” I asked as I rubbed my eyes trying to bring myself awake fully.“More than long enough, it’s been almost 12 hours, are you really Okay?” He asked as he sets the food down on the table and came to have a seat beside me.“Yeah.” I answered. “I am perfectly fine.” I added and I yawned. I’d just had the longest dream and it was more of a memory than a dream, I thought about Sean and I missed him, there are some chapters of my life that I hadn’t opened up about to Connor, I looked at him and I smiled, at least now he knows about my uncle and how he’s been threatening me, the most important details I’m leaving out right now is the pregnancy and I would tell him, the time just isn’t right yet.“Hm. Okay.” Connor subtly answered and shrugged his shoulders. “Well, Julia made soup and asked me to get it up here to you.” He added and the smell of th
**CONNOR**“How did he get in?” Alannah whispered as she moved closer to stand beside me.“I don’t know but I’m not surprised.” I whispered back and I moved to stand in front of our unwanted guest. We were having a good time and we’d decided to get back home, have a nice meal and get to bed beside Alannah and we got home to meet him here.“What do you want?” I asked, I was already face to face with him. I don’t know how but I was able to feel an emotions and something like fear crept up inside of me. I knew it wasn’t mine, I’m not scared of him at least not anymore, I looked back to see Alannah’s face dropping and she was pulling at her own fingers. She was the one scared. “Am I supposed to feel what she feels?” I asked myself and somehow I also felt like she was scared of my dad saying something to me. My thought was cut short when my dad spoke up.“You know damn well what I want.” He answered, shoving to walk right past me and stopped in front of Alannah, she was scared and
“You still wouldn’t give all that up? Why do you have to be so selfish?” I heard my dad say from the room I was in. My mum had warned me not to come out until she asked me to and I know it was because of the fight she was going to get into with my dad. It gets exhausting, I was tired of it all. ***10 minutes earlier***“Stay in here baby. I need to have a talk with your dad.” My mum said as she sat me down.“You mean fight?” I asked, holding her back and not wanting her to leave because the “talk” they usually have never ends well for my mum and she ends up getting bruises.“No. We just want to talk, adult conversation.” She said. “Also, you’re going to be a big brother soon.” My mum added as she guided my hand down to her belly and just at that moment, I felt it kick.“What was that?” I asked, confused and surprised.“That is your sister, she likes you.” My mum answered referring to the kick the baby did when I touched her belly.“I am having a sister?” I asked in excitement.
“...Well, until he decided to show up now, but I’m not giving him the slightest opportunity to think he has a chance against me.” I added as I finished.“Wow.” Alannah said. “He did all that?” She managed to ask and I nodded, I saw a tear behind her eyes, she’d been crying and I lifted my hands to clean it off.The sound of my phone interrupted our conversation, I looked at it and saw the caller ID, it was Uncle Matt. I looked up to see Alannah’s curious face on mine.“What’s wrong?” Alannah asked curiously. “Is there a problem?” She asked again. She was getting curious.“I wouldn’t know if I don’t pick the call.” I said, holding the phone up to Alannah for her to see I haven’t picked the call yet.“Oh. True.” She laughed. “Pick it up then, it must be important.” She added and I laughed too.“Hello Uncle.” I said, getting up. My face changed immediately and Alannah saw it.“What’s the matter, Connor?” She asked, scared.“I just got a call now, Nanny McPhee and Lisa has been kidnappe
Hitting the wall and smashing the mirror in frustration, I groaned. The door opened and a terrified Alannah walked in.“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” She asked, carefully walking towards me.“Matt just called me.” I started saying and Alannah nodded her head encouraging me to continue. “They escaped with them and he lost most of his men, he got hit too and he’s on his way to the hospital before we stopped talking.” I continued.“Oh God.” Alannah gasped, covering her mouth. “Is he Okay? Will he make it?” She asked and I nodded.“He’s strong, he seem fine.” I said. “I’m going to Cali today, I’ll call and let them know I’m coming so they can get the plane ready, I know where he might have taken them to.” I said, pulling up my phone and punching in a contact.“How do you know?” She asked me.“Might have been a long time but I knew him for eight to ten years, he’s my dad.” I answered as I placed the phone on my ear waiting for it to be answered.“Well then, lets start packing.” Alannah
“Where are we going now Sir?” Roy asked innocently oblivious to all of the happenings around us, after all we’d only gone for a vacation and we just arrived.“Where the fuck else do you think we’ll be headed to?” I yelled making him jump a little before taking the route home.“Connor!” Alannah called in a slight shout and I calmed, her voice, her presence is the only thing that managed to still keep me sane. I looked over at her for a while and when she mouthed “apologize” I had thought she was joking. I don’t apologize, maybe I do apologize to her and the few in my circle but definitely not my worker, she pulled her hands from my grip and kept them to herself.“Fine.” I muttered. “I’m sorry Roy, I’ve just been a little bit on edge lately.” I apologized to Roy while slightly tapping his shoulder.“It’s fine Sir.” A confused Roy assured and focused on the road.“I’m sorry.” I said to Alannah while taking her hands in mine.“It’s Okay. Anyone would be stressed and edgy, it’s understanda
“I found them. They’re here.” I called out to Alannah with a muffled voice, it smells horrible in there and I had to cover my nose and mouth. I sprinted to where Nanny McPhee was.“McPhee. Mcphee!” I called as I slid over to where my Nanny McPhee was tied up, what I’d seen shook me to my bones. She was in a pool of blood and when I looked behind her to see where the blood was coming from it was from her wrist. “No. No.” I said silently. “Connor?” Alannah called behind me and her footsteps followed. “What is Wrong?” I looked behind me and Alannah froze in her steps, she knew exactly what had gone wrong. Squatting beside me and trying to hold me like a little baby, I finally broke down. I let it all out.“He killed her. He killed her too.” I said amidst tears. “He fucking killed her.” I said again, I’d wanted to say something else but nothing seem to be coming out of my mouth. “She was all I had.” I said again and buried my face in Alannah’s embrace as I remember how Nanny McPhee had s
