Sue's POV// age 24
(sorry for the delay i hope to be writing more often guys c:)
I place the silky pink roses in a vase. I stroke this wonderful beauty of nature. A honk pops in my ears then lingers long after. Butterflies tickle the sides of my stomach. I run toward the door and stop cold. I take a deep breath and then turn the chilly handle. I push open the screen door and then run as fast as i can to Chrissy. I slam my body against hers. Her soft arms wrap around me gently.
"Sue." her voice is calm and light almost like a buzz. I pull apart from her hug and gently stroke the rigid scar that rests apon her face.
"Im sor-" Chrissy intrudea my sentance
"We've been through this Sue." Her happiness tugs on the side or her mouth, but she wont let herself smile.
"Anyways whats the big news?" I change the subject on a brighter note.
"Ok dont freak, but..." Chrissy trails off and puts her hand near my face. I study every little inch of her hand but i dont see anything. Then, my eyes land on something suprising, something shiny.
"Did he...? Oh crud! Thats diamond is just... Wow. CONGRATS!" I couldnt find the words for anything.
"I know! It was out of no where!" Chrissy and I both burst out in laughter.
I look down at my tiny ring. It wasnt as big as Chrissy's... I shake my head. I promised myself i wouldnt be jealous of chrissy ever again.
"So? Where is he?"
"Oh um, he went home to tell his family all the good news." She looks down at the ground unresponsive.
"So why didnt you go with him?"
"He's just... Going through a rough patch in his life thats all."
"Oh my god Chrissy. Is he still-"
"No! Not at all. Its nothing to be worried about."
"Hutch is inside your welcome to..."
"No... I think I've been enough trouble already."
"He hasn't seen you in a while, come say hi to Hazel. She misses her aunt."
"Aunt Chrissy?" Hazel runs toward her and jumps up into her arms.
"God, how old are you Bunny?" Hazel giggles and fixes Chrissy's hair.
"Fowa." Hazel indicates what shes saying with a simple hand sign. Chrissy pulls Hazel closer to her chest and then strokes her chesnut hair.
"The last time I saw you was..."
"When she was 3." I say bitterly. Chrissy does a quick search of Hazel.
"She doesnt have a scratch on her so you can stop looking."
"Sue I wasnt-"
"How dare you think I would even hurt my own daughter." Chrissy puts down Hazel who runs toward me. I pick her up and stroke her hair.
"You see that scar on aunt Chrissy's face?" Hazel nods slowly, and then locks her eyes on her scar
"Mommy did that to her."
Chrissy exhales loudly and then looks at Hazel.
"Sue. Stop." She breaths locking her eyes on my face. Things have been going so well between the two of us. What was I doing? Well once you have 10 years in jail whats another?
"You see aunt Chrissy, was a slut and she went around kissing guys that her sister loved.
"STOP!" Chrissy yells.
"She was always the better child! She was pretty, nice, cute, sweet, and skinny!" if she yells ill yell louder!
"Sue shut it!" Hazel covers her ears.
"All I was doing was getting payback. After all she did put a scar on my heart! Now she is getting married, her diamond is bigger!"
"Maybe my husband loves me more. Besides how could someone love a cold hearted bitch like you?"
"Shut your damn mouth you whore!" I reach down and grab the vase of roses and throw it at Chrissy.. Quickly, she ducks and run over to Hazel. She pulled her in the bathroom and locked the door. I run up to the bathroom and put my ear against the door.
"Listen to me and listen good go to your room, lock the door and dont come out until dinner ok? Call me later." She kisses her head and then reaches for the door.
I lean against the door and slowly slide down it. I sit on the floor weaping until Chrissy comes out.
"What have I become?" I say between sobs.
"Our father."
