Chapter 03 " Goodbye, Mommy III "
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A nine years old girl was supposed to know everything right? But I don't think so. One would say I was so stupid for leaving out my mom in my life, especially for letting her take just a little place in my heart, unlike my dad who took a massive part.
When people hear/ read my story, I might be marked the foolish kid and Morris the good kid, but I was nothing like that. I loved my mom so much, no I did love all of my family but I only gave dad exceptional love and I was sure he loved me back even more than the much love I had for him.Dad and I were what you would call inseparable and we couldn't do without each other but even as much as dad loved me, I wanted him to love Morris just the same." Where is my momma?" I asked Mrs. Roseline, my eyes teary as I looked at Morris and my dad. I wanted to go meet dad and ask him too, but for the first time, I was scared of him. His eyes were terrifying and so red that I couldn't go and when I heard Morris say he killed my Mom, I wanted to fully understand everything." Take her out of here, right now," Dad yelled, his voice sent cold shivers down my spine and I suddenly lost control and began crying my voice so loud that Mrs. Roseline had to hold me tight.My tears increased when I began calling my dad's name, I didn't want to leave and I didn't want him to hurt Morris either. As I was being taken away, the last sight I caught hold of that still plays vividly in my head till now was dad yanking Morris roughly. I was frightened and at the same time scared for Morris.Mrs. Roseline took me back inside my room and laid me on my bed hugging me while she joined me in crying." Mrs. Roseline, what's going to happen to Morris. Would my brother be alright? "I asked sniffing, but I still had glimmers of dry and wet tears on my face." What about momma, where's she. Doesn't she want to see Morris and me anymore?" I asked yet again but didn't get any reply immediately. About 10 minutes later Mrs. Roseline cuddled me and caressed my hair." Alexa, daddy won't hurt Morris okay. And mommy's going to come back for you both". Her words didn't calm me down at all, I was still scared even worse and I began shuddering even though I wasn't feeling cold. " I want to see Morris". It was also quite shocking to me why I asked for Morris instead of my dad or mom... It never occurred to me that I was more worried about my brother than my parents right now and maybe it was because I had never seen him that angry before even with dad.Luckily for me, I slept off-hours later and only woke to see my dad sitting next to me in a black outfit. I didn't wonder why he was wearing such either but I only thought he was going to travel again."Daddy, are you going back again? You haven't played with me yet". I said to him in my cutest voice caressing my eyes. The unhappy look on my dad's face was like none I had ever seen before.My dad lifted me and hugged me softly. " Come on, let's get you dressed up. We all need to be somewhere. And baby, don't worry about mommy, she traveled and won't be back for a long time" Dad said and I became said immediately." Why didn't she take morris and me along?" I asked again, but my dad smiled and told me not to worry or miss her too much.An hour later, Mrs.Roseline was called to dress me up properly. I didn't want to put on a black tuxedo but dad told me to, so I did. I came downstairs with Mrs. Roseline and my eyes immediately met with that of Morris but he looked away.I, Morris, and my dad all got into the car but Mrs. Roseline stayed behind waving me goodbye with a sad face. I grimaced till the door was shut and when the car started moving, I merrily rested on dad.Throughout the ride, Morris stayed silent clenching his fist and he cried silently to himself too while dad completely ignored him.Many people were gathered and some kept sad faces, while others were crying. When dad held my hands and we all walked in, my eyes became watery and my heart ached and I was sure it was the same for Morris.A large portrait of mom was there, and flowers were surrounded somewhere close to a coffin.That was when it all started, a great feeling of pain and misery swept through my very little heart and made it ache more, and till today I still can not forget how I felt that very day, especially when I saw Morris kneel in front of her portrait and began crying again.I had thought the death of my mom would be the end but it wasn't. I didn't know more and more pains still laid ahead and my life would slowly become shattered.

Alexa POV.I haven’t seen so many people at our house before, it felt so surreal. They were all dressed in black suits and came back home with us in their various cars. When we got home, Mrs. Roseline had already made some food and the aroma made my stomach growl. I went straight to the kitchen, Mrs. Roseline understood because she was already putting some snacks on a plate for me. “Thank you Mrs. Roseline,” I said as she handed it to me.I walked out of the kitchen and I put a big muffin in my mouth and it tasted so delicious. As I was about to take the last turn out of the hallway, I heard some ladies whispering, they were talking about how my mom abandoned her children at such a young age. But I didn’t want to believe their lies, mom would never abandon Morris and I.The plate on my hand fell because I lost my appetite. I immediately ran in search of my dad, to ask him about what those people were saying, but both my dad and Morris were nowhere to be found. I headed to my dad’s ho

Alexa POV.This last week has been painful. After I read that note from Morris, I ran to his room to find him, but I noticed some of his things were missing. I remember running down to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Roseline, and asking her if she saw Morris leave, but she only stared at me confused.I showed her the note he left me and after she read it, we both started crying and hugged each other. She tried giving me food that day but I just couldn’t eat. It was not easy to wrap my head around what was happening, how I thought Morris was already warming up to me but he ended up abandoning me just like mum. I remember Mrs. Roseline calling my dad and telling him about what was happening, but he just shunned her and told her he was busy and would be back sometime this week. He hasn’t been back since the day I heard him on the phone in his home office. I had to go to school last week, hoping to wake up from this nightmare but anytime I come back home I always come back to an empty hous

Alexa POV.I remember the day I made my first friend. I was looking up the closest investigator nearby when I noticed someone walk up to my table in the library and take a seat opposite me.“Hi,” she said, looking me in the eyes. “Hello,” I replied dumbfounded. No one has ever spoken to me before except probably when they need me to excuse them or hand something over to them. I examine her. She has brown eyes, her nose is so perfect and her cheekbones, ohh they look so well curved. Her blonde hair is laying perfectly on her shoulder and she is putting on a black dress with a very bright shade of red lipstick.“I am Thelma.”“I a-am Alexa,” I responded breathlessly. My brain cells are screaming. I decided to calm down and not get ahead of myself.“Wanna hang out, there’s a frat party tonight?”“Hmmm, y-yess, n-noo, I have to get home today after school,” I reply painfully. The thought of my father finding out that I didn’t return home is scary. The new driver apparently has to report

I get a message from Dante, “Enjoy your catch! My congratulations, can’t wait until the morning. Have fun ;) Ps.
