It was time to tell Grace about Mom and Dad.
I was feeling very anxious to tell her as I don't know if she knows what a "divorce" is, or how she is going to react.
I walked upstairs, into her bedroom feeling nervous and sat next to her on the bed, watching her read her book.
"Grace, could you please stop reading for a minute as I need to tell you something" I ask.
"Okay" Grace says quietly.
"Grace, as you have noticed mommy and daddy have been fighting a lot recently, they have not been getting along well lately and mommy has just found out that daddy is in love with someone else" I explain.
I could see that Grace looked very confused to what I was talking about.
"So is daddy going to live with us still" Grace questioned, looking confused.
I began to cry, I felt so bad for my sister as she had no clue to what I was talking about.
I was speechless, lost for words as I didn't know how I was going to tell her that our father wasn't going live with us anymore.
"No he isn't, he will be packing his bags and moving out with another lady that he loves" I cried
As soon as I said that to Grace, she started yell.
"NO, NO I WANT DADDY TO LIVE WITH ME" she yelled the house down, beginning to cry.
I hesitated, my heart went into shock. I didn't know what to do.
I ran downstairs, into the kitchen where my mother was making dinner.
"MOM, MOM PLEASE COME TO GRACE'S ROOM, SHE IS CRYING AND YELLING AFTER WHAT I TOLD HER ABOUT YOU AND DAD" I shouted.
My mother jumped and ran up the stairs into my sisters room, trying to calm down Grace.
"Grace look at mommy, I know you don't understand what's going on but I have invited daddy over for dinner so we can chat about what is going to happen to our family" my mother said calmly with tears falling down her face.
It was 6:00, I hear the doorbell ring.
I opened the door, it was my father.
"Mom, Grace, Daddy is here" I shouted.
As soon as I said Daddy is here, you could see Grace's face light up and she was so excited to see him.
She ran up to him and gave him the biggest hug EVER.
"I missed you daddy" Grace screamed.
"I missed you too sweetheart" my father says.
My mother began to cry when she saw how happy Grace was when she saw him.
I couldn't even look at my father, after what he has done to our family.
We all sat at the dinner table and it was silent.
"Daddy do you love mommy?" Grace questioned.
My father was shocked when he heard Grace say that.
My father didn't reply to her question.
"Do you?" Grace repeated.
He hesitated, didn't know what to reply with.
My mother looked at my father, looking very shattered.
"Katie said that you are not going to live here" Grace stated.
"N-no, I am going to live in an-another ho-use" my father stuttered.
"W-why" Grace asked.
"Da-ddy and I are going to se-separate from eachother because we both don't love eachother anymore" my mother said hesitantly.
I had tears coming up, I didn't say a word as I was speechless and feeling very upset and stressed out.
"Katie and Grace, I know this is a very tough situation for the both of you, but it was the best option for both of us" my father stated.
"YOU KNOW WHAT DAD, DONT START WITH THIS, YOUR THE ONE WHO HAS DESTROYED OUR FAMILY BECAUSE YOUR INLOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE" I yelled angrily.
"KATIE! STOP TALKING AND GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" My mother shouts.
"Your father and myself are going to work things out between us and we will let you know straight away" my mother said.
Dinner was over, my mom and dad cleaned up the table.
I didn't bother to help as I was so pissed off and really upset.
I walked downstairs, to grab some water and I see my father packing clothes.
My sister was crying, seeing him pack.
"DADDY DONT LEAVE PLEASE" Grace shouted.
"IM SORRY SWEETHEART, BUT THIS IS OUR DECISION AND IM SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS" my father cried.
My sister was screaming the house down, my mother took her into her room and shut her door so she could calm down.
I was crying so I decided to go up to my bedroom to get some space.
I hear my parents talking and I think my father was leaving.
"GIRLS, YOUR FATHER IS LEAVING COME SAY GOODBYE" my mother shouted from downstairs.
I completely ignored my mother and didn't bother to go down as I don't even wanna look and know my father anymore.
I was looking at the window, watching my father go into the car.
He left.
