The Black Swan

Chapter 6 : The Sudden change

My family hasn't move my sight.

My family which I meant is Papito, Pier, daddy, Eleanor and Daniel.

Although Gabrien and The twins are still here but they are not my family, they will never be.

The others we're having their normal lives except for us. Beautiful funeral I must say, Pier ordered my mother's favourite Red roses .everywhere was her favourite red roses that she loved so much. Red roses was just everywhere at the Chartres Cathedral catholic church. Pier did the most beautiful funeral for his wife, beautiful funeral for my mother. Too bad everyone sees it but not my mama, nope not her.

People who knows her bought for her Red Rose. She was buried in the catholic centaury by a very catholic ritual, Pier even hired an entire violinist orchestra during the wake. Even in her death she looked so beautiful holding the roses.

My mother died the second night at the hospital. Nope it wasn't too late we did reach on time, the next night her hearth just stopped, she stopped breathing, she died in her sleep. My mother is dead. Mama's dead and there's nothing I can do about it. My whole world just crushed into pieces. My hearth is torn in to apart.

It has been one month, one month since the funeral , one month , still in silent still in heartache, I didn't go to school, I didn't go to the ballet ball that my school had,

nope I didn't moved from my room. 

My friends comes and visit me in weekends but I kindly request them to not bother me, I need to be alone, I need some space. 

Yesterday, Gabrien, Oracle, Carrogen and Daniel went back home. our grandparents are there to take care of them.

As for Papito, his beside me all the time, he sleeps beside me and talks with me.. There were moments I scream at him to leave me alone, he screams back at me "FINE" but still he never move away from my sight, always hawking me. Even if I'm a few minutes longer at the shower he bangs the door as if his life is in danger.

Today however Pappito had to go out and I had to go to the lawyers, something about my mother's dying wish, who gets her assets and who obtain the guardianship over me. 

She had listed it all, end up she wanted me to be with daddy and Eleanor instead of Pier.

I was angry I really wanted to stay with Pier, Pier has always been there for me. 

Daddy and Eleanor seemed happy, they seemed relieved. 

I can tell Pier didn't seemed surprise, it's like my mum and Pier already had this topic before, for some reason she chosen them instead of Pier. She had written everyone a letter, mines was special it was said to give to me when I reach 21. Always creative mama forever was creative on her own mystique ways.

We made back to our house and I choose to stay in my room. There was a door knock and I look on that way. 

In walked Pier, he closed the door I quickly walk to him and grace him crying on his chest

"There, there Nina... "He says hugging me back...

"I don't want to go, I'm not going.. I need you, you need me..." I wept on his chest...

"You are my father, you were the one who has always been there for me, I don't want to lose you..." I said crying

" Nina.. Don't you ever say like that, don't you ever say you will lose me, you are my daughter and I love you, you know better..." Pier scowl how series he is holding my chin to look at him, I nod looking at him and hugged him back crying.

"I don't want to go, my mother's grave is here, how can I go, how can I leave her , How can I leave you, I don't want to go... I'm not going.." I said hugging his chest.

"you are.." I stopped hugging Pier I was shocked to hear my father saying standing at the door. I shook my head at him. He seemed to be angry.

" I'm not coming I'm not leaving Pier..." I shook my head crying..

" Violin Go and pack.." he says calmly..

"no" I shook my head , is he serious...

"Now..." he yelled which made me to flinch, what is wrong with him... I never seen this side of him.

"John "Pier says taken back of his outburst at me,

"Pier, it's time for us to go back... I understand your bond with my daughter, but she is my daughter, and its time for me to take her back home with us... what are you trying to do" he says all business like.

" Pier didn't try to do anything, I.. I want to stay here this is my home, this is where I born, where I lived, where my mother was raised, where my mother is buried..." I yelled looking at him determined with my answer on why I wish to stay. 

Then I shook my head started to cry looking at him

"Violin.." I can hear dad, his frustration towards me, well so am I, 

while Pier laughs.. a fake bitter laugh I can tell but still he laughs I look at him as if he is serious then he looks at My father

"Gabriella was right, "Pier laughs tears on his eyes, what about my mother is right.

"She told me why, I didn't understand why she choose Nina to stay with you instead of me, she told me..i understand now." Pier says looking at me, ok what did she told, my dad looks as confuse as me. Pier shook's his head a grasses me kissing my head. " he loves you, " he whispers at me

"Your mother is a very smart women," Pier says kissing my head

"John she is my daughter as well, "he says looking at my dad, with that he leaves my room. I look at my father angrily

"How could you..." I said to him... he didn't seem to bother, instead he just started to pack my things.. Eleanor came to the door

"John..." she asks a look of disappointment on him,

" help her pack" is the only word he told walking away, I cried looking at her as she came and hug me shhing me up.

" why is he like this.. why Is this happening to me, " I cried... she shuhh me again rubbing my back hugging me kissing my head...

"its ok, its ok.." She says, we spend an hour packing, I didn't even bother Eleanor was the one to help me most of it. When we're done, we went down I was still crying. Pier and dad seemed to cool down, they seem to be talking or more like discussing.

"Say good bye to Pier Violin "dad says looking at me, I look at him about to cry..

"John..."Eleanor says with the same disappointed tone...

"Am I not going to see Pier again..." I asked so dread

"Of course you will, but we have to go now.." he says again business like, what is wrong with him. 

I hugged Pier saying goodbye and ill meet him soon, he hugs me back.

Oh my god, Pappito, I forgot to wish him goodbye. Dad and Eleanor promise they will visit Pappito soon to just to shut me up. I'm so tired, so drained out.

The time I know it we we're at the airport and we reached California and by 12am in the morning we reached my father's house, the house I thought I never step my foot in here again.

I am in my room now, Elanore had refurnish my room the last time I know with all of the little mermaid theme, it is simple now with a fish bowl beside me where there is an black and white angle fish in it, the room is painted of glass green paint, the curtains are white and there is a picture of my mum at the night stand. So apparently the room is ready for me. Walking to the closet I role my eyes, now I understand why daddy didn't care I packed or not, there were newly bought cloths all hanged in the closet, I know its newly bought because of the price tag which is attached on it.

Taking out one of my nightgowns, placing my bag inside the closet, I wore it and made my way to the bed. I need sleep, I'm tired and I need sleep. And that's what I did.
