Deep In My Heart

Chapter Five

Two months later

Its been two months since mom left. Dad took it hard. We ended up moving to a smaller house, dad been seeing this woman she let us move in with her. She alright, ghetto to the fullest but alright. She's nice.

Late afternoon, Lo and I were outside playing around in the yard with the soccer ball. Just laughing having a good time.

"Ahh!" Dad yelled

We stopped as we heard dad, we came inside the house. Saw dad sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.

"What is it?" I ask
Trisha pointed to the TV, we looked my eyes widen a bit as I saw mom with that guy. They are at some award show saw them kiss each other.

I shook my head and turned the TV off, I took Lo to our room had him get ready for bed. Tucked him in he stared at me

"Why don't mommy love us, buggy?" He ask

*sigh*

"I don't know, I really don't know." I answered. I kissed his forehead

"Get some sleep." I said, got up closed the door and went down the hall to the living room. Had saw dad was standing outside by his car.

I walked on outside, came and stood three feet away. I stared at him

"You leaving ain't you?"

*sigh* he dropped his head a bit.

"Its cause of me isn't it, cause of my hearing aids."

"No, its not that."

"Than what, why do you have to leave us too?" I asked trying my best not to cry.

He turned and looked at me

"I have to go, I did something bad and if they catch me here, they'll take you and Leon away, I am really sorry."

I dropped my head, he stood closer held my head up stared into my eyes

"I love you, I never stopped loving you, we will be together again...When the time comes a package will be sent to you be looking out for it." I nod my head.

We hugged each other, he went inside said goodbye to his son and left on out I watched him leave. I went inside the house Trisha was crying. I held her in my arms.

Four months later

We're still recovering, dad has been arrested and sentenced 15 years. Then one day we gotten a visitor a man. Said he works for mom, and wants Lo and I to come with him.

Lo was quick to move, I held him back. Stared at the guy

"How do we really know you know our mother?"

"You are smarter than you look, that's good though." He smirk he took out a picture of us with mom and called us by our nicknames only mom calls us. He also showed me his I.d.

"Alright, go get your jacket." I said

Lo went to get his jacket, I out my mines along with my shoes. I had grabbed my favorite picture I have of mom and me. We left on out the house got in the truck and rode on out.
