Saving Her

Chapter 3

Hey guys I don't have much to say other than this chapter might be shorter. Have fun and enjoy!

I continue to imagine those eyes. Those beautiful eyes. They held mistrust, sadness, so much pain. It was almost unbearable. I wish he'd let me in. It's like he has formed a wall of impenetrable cement around his heart. I know there's a good side to him. I could see it in the sparkly speck in his warm green eyes. I could tell he wanted so bad to let that side take control. But something is holding him back. I just wish I knew how to help him. I know I've been annoyed with him. And maybe angry. But what I saw in his eyes... I wouldn't wish that even on my worse enemy.

I get home to find a few boxes in the foyer. 'Dad's stuff' the thought came to me. 

'Is she getting rid of it?'

I'm not ready to give any of his stuff up. I'm not ready to even move on. Hints the sweatshirt I'm wearing.

"MOM!" I call

"YES?"  

"Why are these here?" I motion towards the boxes.

"I want to to take everything you want out of each of them. And i believe it's time to get rid of it. We'll donate the rest."

I am not getting rid of any of it.

"OK" I answer

She went out of sight to sit in the living room. I heard the old creak of her recliner chair as she sat down. I picked up a box and lugged it up the stairs. Then the next and the next. And so on till I had all seven boxes up into my bedroom.

'Now where to put them'

I opened my closet (which is really big) and stacked them way in the back after I took  some more of his sweat shirts out along with 3 button down shirts and 2 polo shirts. I didn't want to put them in my drawers and forget about them. I hung them up so they can always remind me about the fun times we had. 

After Dinner

Me and mom were sitting on the couch watching the famous show "Stranger Things" We watched it every Thursday. Out of the blue My mom inquired.

"Can I talk to you now since I Couldn't talk to you yesterday?"

"Yeah sure" Lets get this over with.

There was a pause as if she was looking for words.

"I've met someone" She finally said quietly.

I paused. Wait what?! Is she replacing dad? How could she! It hasn't even been 3 years!

"I met him about six months ago and we've gone out a bit" She continued slowly.

I wanted her to be happy. She deserves all the love in the world. Life's thrown so much at her. But... This? I just have no idea how to react to this...

I storm out of the room and out of the house not knowing what to say. Should I be angry or understanding?

All I feel is panic! She's replacing dad!
