Our broken family

Chapter 2

"Jimmy, do you really think you should take up all these oppurtunities out of state? Your children really miss you and Chandler." Chris said, frowning slightly. It was nighttime, and all the children had gone to bed. The adults were the only ones awake, and Chris and Karl were trying to reason with Jimmy and Chandler. "We need the money, do you see how big our family is?" Jimmy responded, getting annoyed."But Jimmy, you guys leave like, every month. You guys don't ever stay lonng enough to spend quality time with your children." Karl said, getting tired of this. "I don't CARE, Karl. We need the money." Jimmy responded, and sighed. "We're going to bed, goodnight guys." Chandler said, and him and Jimmy left to go to bed. "Those assholes.." Chris muttered under his breath and sighed. "Uhm, Chris? Maybe we should go to bed. It's pretty late." Karl said quietly, and yawned. "Yea, you're right. Goodnight, Karl." Chris said. "Night Chris!" Karl smiled then walked into one of the guest rooms.

Chris was about to walk into the other guest room when he heard quiet sobs coming from one of the kids rooms - it was coming from Dean's room. He slowly opened the door to see Dean sobbing into his pillow, muffling the sobs. "Dean, is everything alright..?" Chris asked quietly, standing in the doorway. Dean immediately looked up at Chris and quickly wiped his tears. "Y-yeah, everything is okay. N-nothing is wrong." Dean said quietly, though everything was clearly not okay. Chris sighed quietly and shut the door, then walked over to Dean's bed and sat down. "What's wrong, bud?" Chris asked quietly, trying to calm Dean down. "I just.. I-i just wish dad and papa wouldn't leave all the time.. It's like they don't even love us.." Dean muttered, and buried his face in his pillow, sobbing once again. This broke Chris' heart, and he pulled Dean into a hug, rubbing circles into his back. "I know bud. It's hard, but you can get through it. Plus, you still have Delilah, your other siblings, plus me, Karl, Tareq, and Katie. You know we'd never ever leave you guys." Chris mumbled, feeling Dean's breathing become steadier. "Yea, I guess.. Thank dad- I mean, uncle Chris." Dean mumbled, feeling a little embarrased that he almost called Chris dad. "It's okay, kiddo. You can call me dad, I don't mind." Chris chuckled lightly. "Heh, thanks.. dad." Dean said, and yawned, then slowly fell asleep. "Night kid." Chris whispered, then tucked Dean into bed then got up. He closed Dean's door behind him then walked into the other guest room, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
