The air surrounding me felt suffocating as everyone sat around the living room.
My heart was hurting in my chest as everything seemed to be on a constant replay in my mind.
I've lost her for good.
I know it's what's best for me, I know I deserve happiness, and peace, but I also know it's not possible being around them.
Around Athena, the triplets, and sadly even my mom.
Since everything was brought to the surface they couldn't even look at me.
She can't even apologize.
It hurt a lot more than what I thought it would. I was never able to probably bond with her but she's still my birth mother, someone who gave birth to me.
Someone who loved me at one point and time.
Now it's like she only love Athena.
It hurts.
My mind also raced with the realization that my new therapist is my grandpa. Someone I confided in is my family.
The same family that I said I felt unwanted in.
I couldn't even explain the amount of emotions that rushed through me the moment Dad called all of us into the living room and he was just standing there.
My entire body had locked in place and I couldn't move if I wanted too.
Not until he walked over to me softly and introduced himself to me.
I couldn't help myself before jumping into his arms and hugging him.
Now the air surrounding everyone is awkward and tense.
The 6 on the other side of the table are tense in their seats and I tried to distract myself by looking at the art that lines the walls.
I know no matter what's comes from this conversation nothing is going to change and it won't make anything better.
I could just feel it.
"Family Above All." Grandpa suddenly says breaking me out of my saddened thoughts.
"That's something I've reached you since you were young, that no matter who entered your life, and who left, your family should be who you stick beside. They're the ones you keep by your side and who you fight for. When I said that I didn't mean you got to pick and choose who you defended or not. You bullied my granddaughter. Hell bullied isn't a strong enough word for that. You abused her! And she was all alone in it. I've been told everything and if you weren't my family you'd be in the same position the others are." Grandpa Vincent was seething as he spoke.
