Craig's POV
".....when's mommy coming back?"
I froze and looked into Lisa's innocent eyes. She meant no harm when she asked the question... But how could I explain it to her without hating myself anymore than I already do... "Sweetheart....." I said as I crouched down to her level, "Mommy....isn't coming back..." She looked at me curiously, "What?" ,she said in almost a whisper. I didn't want to say anything else, but I had to, "Mommy...was in an accident..." ,I said, and as her eyes were fixed on me, her usual happy expression on her face was slowly fading away.

I feel as though I'm suffocating.
I want to keep her happy, and I don't want her to cry... as much as his friends did.
"P-papa?" she wheezed. I blinked and turned my attention back to Lisa. I didn't want to explain this to her, but I had to "...Mommy..." I sighed, my eyes watering. She gave me a questioning look.
"Mommy...went back home."
I heard footsteps coming into the room. I looked over and saw Anthony walking in with a pile of blankets. "I found them!" he yelled cheerfully, not knowing what kind of conversation was taking place. Lisa looked toward her brother, not a single change in her cold expression. Anthony put the blankets down near the door and walked over. "Lisa, are you okay?"
Lisa shrugged. "What do you mean he went back home, papa?" Anthony gave her a questionable look. "You know how I call mommy an angel sometimes?" Both Lisa and Anthony looked up at me. There was a pause before Anthony finally answered. "Yeah?"
I took a deep breath and relaxed myself a bit
"Where do Angels live?" There was another uncomfortable pause as Lisa looked up at the ceiling and then back at me. It took her a moment to figure out what that meant, what I was trying to say. But she did. I saw her eyes immediately fill up with tears.

What the hell did I do?
She's too young to hear about this why, the fuck did I tell her?
I heard soft crying,  snapping out of the little trance. I turned my attention to my daughter...





I made her cry...








I apologize for the short chapter. I just needed to update something at least.
