Torn Between The Two | Drake & Chris Brown

Chapter 16

Chris

"I have a confession to make...Anthony is really your father," My mom announced to the table.

I stared in disbelief. I froze. Unable to speak. Unable to feel. Unable to react. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe that all these years, the mystery man that I supposedly looked like, the man who was supposed to be a role model to me, the man that was supposed to love my mom but walked out on her was standing feet away from me.

I wanted to beat the shit out of him. I wanted to make him suffer for all those years he left my mom struggling to make ends meet. All those years she cried, never able to find that special someone to repair her heart. He was the reason why mom got in that abusive relationship. He needed to pay for all the pain he brought to my family.

My blood was boiling, and I was ready to take my anger out on Anthony.

Right before I was able to get up, though, a calming hand was placed on my thigh. It was Dani. When I looked over, she was looking at me with a worried look. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.

It didn't work. However, it did bring a little of common sense into me. I knew it would be stupid to fight Anthony. It would just result in a few hours behind bars and my mom being angry at my actions. I got up and simply walked away. It was the best thing for me to do in this situation.

Danielle

When Chris' mom told us the news, Chris looked furious. I was so scared at how he would react. I placed my hand on his thigh, hopefully to signal him not to do anything stupid. He then got up and walked away from the table, not saying a word to anyone.

"Excuse me," I said politely before standing up to follow him.

I soon found him outside standing by his car.

"Chris, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I just needed some fresh air."

"What's going on in your head, Chris? What are you feeling?"

"I want to rip his head off. If he hadn't made those stupid decisions, a lot of stuff wouldn't be like it is now."

"Maybe he has a good reason. He obviously still cares though, he came back to see you guys. At least talk to him."

"I don't want to talk to him."

"Please, for me."

He hesitated. "Fine."

We walked back in together and headed back to the table. Chris' mom and Anthony had already started cleaning the table.

"Chris, are you okay?" His mom asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Chris' mom then called for a family meeting. I insisted that I give them privacy since technically I wasn't apart of the family, but everyone wanted me to stay.

"Look, Chris I know I've been gone for most of your life, but I still love you and your mom so much." Anthony spoke up.

"You've been gone ALL of my life, and if you loved us, you wouldn't have left us for that long. Where were you anyways?"

"I really do love you guys. This whole time I've been working to try and raise up money so I could come back. I know I needed to make it up to you guys. This whole time, I've been watching from a far. I knew about your success this whole time. I couldn't wait to see y'all again."

"If that was the case then you would've called to let us know you still care. You would've called to make sure we didn't move on in our lives and left you behind. Fortunately, you never called and we have moved on in our lives."
