Chapter Four
Why did Adam have to be the one to pick us up? I am positioned in between the two of them with both holding my hand, as if screaming paparazzi ahead. I just accept the upcoming issue and save my question for in the car. We all make it maybe twenty steps farther before the paparazzi blinds and deafens us.
"Blake, are you and Miranda over?".
"Adam, are you and Anne through?".
"Mckenzie, how do you feel about all of this?". The lights are so blinding that I put on my sunglasses. I have to think to myself over and over, "Don't say anything! Don't say anything!". We slowly push our way through the mob with security by our side.
After what feels like forever, we are in the car and I can ask the one question that's been on my mind. "Why is Adam the one to pick us up?".
"Because I asked him to. Okay, Mckenzie?".
"No, Dad. It's not okay! You're getting a divorce because of him and now you have him pick us up!".
"We're getting a divorce because your mother cheated and accused me of cheating. Not because of Adam. Adam is picking us up because he'll be staying with us since Anne kicked him out after your mother told her that he was cheating. Your not the only one whose world got shattered".
I don't even know how to respond to him, so I put my beats back on and end up singing along with the music.
She walks to school
With her arms crossed
It's just another day
At 10 o clock she hears this screaming
Then finally she sees them
It's scary how things change
And I saw the story on the news
I saw the footage from the roof
I sat down and cried
Didn't she call you
Didn't she need you bad enough
Was there some reason
Another way up
Did you not write it down
Just one more thing to do
Where were you
And didn't she pray too
He kissed his wife good bye
And took the earliest flight
So he could be home that night
To put his kids to sleep
Down the aisle
Three men walked and said
We're here to die for our God
He stood up and said that's funny
Cause my God died for me
I put the magazine down
I read his words out loud
I sat down and cried
Didn't he call you
Didn't he need you bad enough
Was there some reason
Another way up
Did you not write it down
Just one more thing to do
Where were you
And didn't he pray to
The taxis pulled up
On the very day
They rode 100 floors up
Just to come back down
They never thought they'd see the day
That the towered be up in flames
There was nothing left to say
When it all came down
And didn't they call you
Didn't they need you bad enough
Was there some reason
Another way up
Did you not write it down
Just one more thing to do
Where were you
Where were you
And didn't they pray to oh
I walk to school
And I wear a cross
I'm counting
Every day
I sing along song after song, getting lost in the music until we finally pull up to the fence of my new house. Adam punches in the code before continuing to drive up to the estate. He pulls into the garage and I hop out. "Your room is on the third floor, first door on the right", Daddy says leaving me to discover the house and unpack the boxes that had already been delivered.
I walk around the house and end up in Adam's room. He's laying on the bed on his phone looking at pictures of himself and Anne. "I'm sorry" I muttered, voice barely above a whisper.
"Why would you be? It's my fault, remember. You said it yourself".
"That's not fair! I was just mad and confused and blaming anyone".
"You made that part really clear. Get out", Adam stated coldly.
"What?".
"GET OUT!".
