I unpublished It's Sad to Belong chapters in doodles. I'm trying to fix the fics. 😂, transferring them here one by one unfortunately still it's not fix.  Bear with me and I don't proof read that much. ✌🏻🙈

"Reasons"

I wish I knew why he left. What his reason were. Why he changed his mind.

For all these years, I have turned it over in my head—all the possibilites—yet none of them make any sense.

And then I think, perhaps it was beacause he never loved me. But that makes the least sense of all.

That's for E...

James just finished having lunch with a client when his phone suddenly rings.

He looks and sees Ericka's name flashing on the screen.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Daddy."

James's heart jumps when he heard his little girl's voice. He almost did not pick up the phone because he thought it was Ericka.

"How are you, sweetheart?"

"I'm okay, Daddy. I've missed you," she says, voice cracking.

"Me, too, princess."

"Can I see you? Can I visit you to your new house?"

"Uhm, sweetie, I don't know if Mommy feels comfortable or-"

"Do you want to ask her? She's here with me," says Sibelle excitedly.

She does not wait for an answer and quickly hands the phone over to Ericka.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Ericka. Belle wants to visit me but I don't know if you're okay with it.Whatever you decide, I'll respect."

"It's okay. She can go," she says sadly. "I guess she's gonna have to get used to the fact that she will have two homes now."

"Eri-"

"It's okay, James. I've accepted it," she says sadly.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Okay. I'll pick her up around 5."

"Okay."

"Thank you."

James picked up Sibelle at exactly 5:00 PM. He took her out for ice cream and took her to the mall to buy a new teddy.

James checks his watch and sees it's already 7:00. He is becoming anxious because tonight will be the first time Nadine and Sibelle will meet each other again.

He does not know how the two of them will react. He drives home with Sibelle in the backseat.

"Daddy, how far is your new house?" she asks innocently.

"We're almost there, actually."

"Yay! I'm excited."

A few minutes later, the two arrive at the driveway.

James does not see Nadine's car yet so he quickly unbuckles Belle from her booster seat and takes her inside the house.

"Wow, Daddy! Your house is big! I love it!" she says twirling.

James forces a fake smile. "I'm glad. Let's go to the kitchen and grab some drinks."

They walk to the kitchen and Sibelle climbs on the stool and sits there quietly, observing the new surrounding.
