A Lifetime Of Love (Braxton fanfic)

Chapter 97

(Tamar's POV)

We had all finished our food, I finally got them to eat. We exited IHOP and headed to Penelope's house. Once we got there I already seen a moving van.

"How is the moving van here already we didn't even start packing yet" Penelope said. "Daddy started packing last night, even you're things" Peyton said.

Penelope sighed as she opened the door. "Wait hold on" I said. "Let me go talk to him first" I said and Penelope closed the door and nodded.

I got out of the car and went inside of the open garage. I looked around and seen all the moving boxes.

I spotted Penelope's dad sitting down on top of a cooler with his head in his hands.

"Hey" I said as he looked up. His eyes were blood shot red.

"You okay?" I asked him. He sighed. "Just tired" he said.

I nodded. "When are you guys suppose to be leaving again?" I asked. "Today" he said.

"Really" I asked surprised. "I mean.. why so soon" I asked. He just kept quiet and looked down. I knew something was wrong.

I took a seat right next to him. "Peyton said you hit her" I said calmly. He looked up with terror in his eyes.

"I promise I didn't mean too. It's just.." he said as his eyes started to water.

"Everything has just been so hard since my wife passed. The kids never smile anymore. I barely seen Penelope smile. Only when she's around Sierra" he started.

"I'm sorry to be taking her away it's just i can't live in this house with all the memories of my wife. Knowing she won't be here anymore" he said tears rolling down his cheek.

I grabbed his hand in comfort. "I know how you're feeling. You feel like the world is against you. But you're wife will always be with you. Memories will forever flow. You can't get rid of it by selling the house. It will forever be with you" I said.

"And I know you love you're girls I can truly tell. You have to remember that they are coping with the grief just as much as you are"

He began to nod his head. "How about I take the girls back to my house for a little while so you can think things through. Give me a call and I'll bring them back okay?" I said and he nodded.

I got up. "Thanks" he said and I smiled nodding my head. I headed back to the car and got inside.

"What's happening?" Sierra asked. "I'm gonna take you guys back to the house just to give you're dad some time to think okay?" I said to Penelope.

"Is he okay. Is he gonna change his mind?" Peyton asked. "I'm not sure. But whatever happens know you're dad love you so much and he would never mean to hurt you" I said and they both nodded.

I put the car in drive and then headed back home.

Once we got to the house Logan had fell asleep so I carried him inside and laid him down.

I looked at Penelope's face and I could tell she was feeling upset. Sierra looked at her and she knew something was wrong too.

(Sierras POV)

"Are you okay?" I asked Penelope who was just staring down. She looked up immediately and smiled. "I'm fine" she said. I knew she was lying.

"Knock knock" we heard a voice say before we looked and Toni and the boys were walking in.

"Hey Toni" Tamar said. "What's up people" Toni said as she closed the door and headed inside the living room.
Tamar and I gave all of them a hug. "Oh hey Penelope" diezel said as he seen Penelope.
