Come get your crap from my house. -1:52pm

I stare at the text for a couple of minutes. Is he really done with me?

How did I manage to mess up a relationship, without actually doing anything?

My parents are at work, meaning that I don't have anyone to watch Melody. I guess I can bring her, so she can say goodbye to Chres and Enzo.

I get to my soon-to-be old home, and knock on the door.

Chres lets me in, glaring at me the entire time.

"I'm just here to get my stuff, like you said." I say quietly.

"Don't take anything I bought you." He shrugs.

I nod, walking to what used to be our room, seeing boxes ready to be packed.

I sniff, turning to see Chres. "Baby, please, hear me out."

"I don't listen to people like you." He shrugs. "I can't be around a racist person."

"I didn't call her any names. I would never." I shake my head.

"You're a liar. Why would my mom lie about that? And everyone around said you did."

"Because they all hate me." I sniff. "The kids can tell you what really happened. I didn't do anything to her."

I wipe my eyes, and he shakes his head. "Give me my necklace back, please."

I take the locket off, handing it to him.

"What about the baby?" I ask quietly.

"I don't care what you do with it. It's probably not mine anyway." He shrugs, walking out of the room.

I sit on the bed, the tears falling faster.

"Mr. Chres?" Melody asks. "I know you not love me no more, but this was you present."

She hands him a paper. "Enzo help me make it, but him mad at me. I love you, Mr. Chres. Tell Enzo I love him."

She hugs Chres legs, then runs to me.

"Did you tell Enzo bye-bye?" I ask.

"I don't wanna." She sniffs. "I don't want to leave Enzo and Daddy."

"I know, baby." I hug her tightly. "Mommy doesn't either."

"How come we have to leave?" She asks.

"Because, someone told a lie that made daddy really mad at mommy. Now daddy doesn't want to see mommy anymore."

"But, why can't I see daddy anymore?" She asks.

"I'll talk to daddy, okay. Go talk to Enzo." I look down at her.

"Okay." She sniffles.

She rubs out of the room, just as Chres enters. "You're not packing."

"Can we talk really quick?" I ask.

"Speak." He shrugs.

"I know you don't want to see me, but Melody is attached to you and Enzo. She'd really like to see you." I tell him.
