The law

Falling

Later at night I came out of the room because I was getting hungry and not for some cookies. No one else was up, which is understandable because it was almost 12am. I walked into the kitchen and looked for cups. There was so many cupboards it's not even funny.

I kinda made a lot of noise but after a while I found the cups. I looked at the fridge and there wasn't a water dispenser like my moms had. So I opened the fridge and there was a water jug. I opened it up and poured some water in the cup.

Then I already knew where the snacks were because I opened the snack cabinet before the cups. I grabbed some crackers and sat at the table and looked at my phone. A little dark figure came out of the blew. Literally scared me!

"What are you doing up, papa said everyone to bed"

I looked up and it was the little girl Alex was playing with earlier. She came closer to me, so close that we could touch fingers.

"Well I am hungry, and I never heard him say anything like that"

She looked upset for some reason and started yelling. Like I should be in bed and that I was to be doing what Rob had told them to do. How  was I supposed to know that that was a rule.

"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT PAPA SAYS, IF YOU DON'T THEN HE WILL YELL AT YOU, GO TO YOUR BED RIGHT NOW!!"

"Um I didn't know I was a prisoner"

Next thing I see is Rob walking in, he looked mad like really mad. The little girl looked at Rob and started saying how I am supposed to be in bed. And that I am not following the rules.

Rob took her to her room and came back, he sat down and took a cracker and ate it. He looked up and smiled at me then sighed. He sighed like I have never heard before.

"You ok?"

"Honestly I should be asking if you are ok, she is a young kid but loves to control people if she can. Sometimes I don't understand why she wants to control stuff. So are you ok?"

"I'm fine, I have had worse. I'm fine"

"Well I wasn't just talking about my daughter, everything that has happened in the last 48 hours. A lot of stuff has happened, no one just gets up and thinks it's ok. You have trama and that has to be hard"

"I'm fine, I said I was fine. I'm fine"

He looked like he was really meaning it. I wanted to tell him I wasn't fine. But that's all I can ever get out of my mouth now and days. I don't know how but tears started to stroll down my face. He looked into my eyes and I could see his face drop.

He got up and walked around the table to me. And hugged me. It was the most comforted hug I have ever had in my whole life. I started crying even more and hugged him back. He started telling me it's going to be ok and hugged me tighter.

We hugged for what seemed like forever. He let go and grabbed my shoulders and once again said it was going to be ok. I knew he meant it too, the way he was saying it just showed. I still didn't want to open up to him but just knowing someone was there for me made me feel better.
