Chapter 13

Mom "

I cried out while she kept on ignoring me. It was time she had to tell me about my father. I had to know something about him .

"Please tell me"

I spoke nearly louder than a whisper. It broke my heart that she wanted nothing to do with him. I knew she would tell me nothing and I had to find out all I could on my own. I knew it was painful for her to talk about him. I could see it in her eyes each time I had mentioned him. But the need to know was stronger.

She took a deep breath in and my full attention was back on her. She was breaking and it was all my fault.

"Your right at least all I can give you now is his name. Maybe it would be better for the both of us if you knew it."

I nodded encouraging her to continue but that all she could say. Her mouth was trying to say the name but her voice had left her. I waited patiently but the tension was getting to me. I saw her taking a big breath like her life depended on it.

"Ma-"

She stopped like she was having a battle with herself.

"Its Mark"

She stood up and left the room .
