If You Knew the True Me

Chapter 2

I wasnt sure exactly what to say to my father after he said what he had said. But I knew that if that if i did say something that it wasnt going to be nice. And I knew I wouldnt care what he thought or even would say afterwards.

"You wanna know what, Chris? You havent been here for these kids for nine almost ten years. So you can just really get over the fact that the kids look at me more like a father then they like you. Its not their fault that you left or that you didnt care about them. That was your fault not theirs." Kenny said.

Though, I really couldnt see the look on my brother's face, I knew that he could believe what Kenny had just said. Yes, we like that fact that Kenny is standing up for us and himself but to go that far. Wow, is really all I can say. I mean, I'm glad Kenny said that because it is the truth. But to another point, if someone was saying that to me, I think I would die.

But my father didn't die, he stood there looking at Kenny. That is went it hit me. Kenny was standing up for both of us but to another point he was standing up for me. And the reason why he was, is because I am is kid. I mean it has to be that reason, doesn't it?

"Ok, Kenny. I understand what you mean. I know that I haven't truly been a father to these two beautiful kids. But I know that even if they are upset or angry at me, that we will work that out. Their mother just died of a heart attack. Dont you think that we should at least show them that we can get along." my father said.

And at that moment, I really couldn't believe that my dad was being so nice when normally he is almost as bad as his monster wife. But for once in his life, it wasn't about what he wanted. It was about what Trevor and I needed.

As I looked over to Kenny, I show his face soften as he truly took in the words that my father were saying. Even though, you would think that I would be like going crazy about what is happening before me.. I wasn't I was too busy thinking is Kenny my true father?

"Yes, Chris. I'm sorry for yelling kids, and Chris. I am just very emotional right now." Kenny said as he turn his back to us and started to walk away.

But I didnt want him to walk away, I wanted him to stay and to see if I could live with him. Then I saw him look back at us and in his eyes I could tell that he truly needed time to himself.

I contiuned to watch as more and more neighbors and family friends gathered in the living room. And I couldn't help but think, what are they thinking? Or what will they think when they see Trevor or me? Will they hold me if I start to cry or will they just touch my arm and say they are sorry for my lost?

Questions about this and that went through my head. What will everyone say at school? Will people stop talking to me? What is going to happen now?
