Not such a frantastic life

Off to the next

I took the small cage from Suzy's grip and followed her out to Connor. We approached the car and Suzy climbed into the back of the car with Wishbone. I popped the trunk of my Kia and sat the cage nest to Suzy's toys.

---

"We are here Suzy!" I announced as Connor parked in the driveway.

"Really? This is my new house?" Suzy questioned.

"Yeah. Come on, We can show you your room." I said tugging Suzy out if the car and up the sidewalk. Butterfly's start to flutter as we walk up the stairs and open her bedroom door.

"This is your new room Suzy."

"Really?" She asked turning to look at me.

"Yeah. Do you like it sweetheart?" I ask. My voice slightly hushed. Connor knew that I painted it and bought a bed, but he knows nothing about the toys.

"I love it!" She said pulling on the small curtain covering her bed. She and Wishbone sprawled across it within seconds.

"Do you like our new house Wishy?" Suzy asked her puppy while rubbing behind his floppy ears.

"I'm gonna leave you to get settled in. I'll bring your stuff up so we can unpack it." I said slowly backing out of the doorway.

"Okay!"

As I began to go downstairs, Connor brushed past me with both of Suzy's oversized baskets of belongings in his arms. Before I could say anything Connor walked into Suzy's room and sat them down. He walked back out and down the hall to our room. And like that, he was gone.

I glided over to the door that I knew Connor was behind.

"Are you okay Connor?" I asked creaking the door.

A crying Connor sat at the edge if the king sized bed. His head hung low with his hands resting on his forehead.

"What's wrong Conn?" I questioned again, making my way to him.

"I killed her family." Connor spit. Now that he had spoken I can tell he isn't crying from sorrow or guilt. But of hatred.

"You didn't mean to Conn--"

"Lydia, don't start with that shit." He growled.

"I'm the reason this little girl has to start all over. That she has to move in with two strangers. One of them being a drunk driver. I killed them Lyd. Killed them. They're gone. They're not going to be able to see this beautiful girl ever again." He said tears streaming pridefully down his face.

"Connor Franta. You know, I know, even Suzy knows you did not mean to kill them." I said, walking over to Connor and gent fully rubbing his back.

"Let's just go somewhere tonight. To get things off our minds, for now." I suggest.

"Whatever."

"Okay. I'll go tell Suzy." I said slipping from the tension filled room.

---

"Chucky Chesse!" Suzy said sprinting toward the local Chucky Chesse.

"Come in Connor. I'm gonna kick your ass in Guitar Hero." I said, trying to motivate Connor. It must of worked because he hopped out of the car and locked his arms around me.

"Alright. The winner gets whatever they want." He cooed into my ear. As he did goosebumps rose on my body.

"Come on Lydia! Were going to miss Chucky!" Suzy squealed at the entrance.
