If Only You Knew

Earlier In The Afternoon, August 25th

Charlie

"Come on Maddie." I encourage. She smile, clapping her hands together. She looked around as I tried to get her attention. She stood in the same spot, looking down at her feet. She took one step and stumble back. She landed on her bottom and cried in disappointment.

"Aww!" I giggled, walking over to her. She held her hands out and I picked her up.

"Don't worry baby. You'll get it and I'll be here when you do." I kiss her cheek. She wanted me to put her down and I did. She's being trying to walk all week and she's getting better actually. At first, she wouldn't even want to stand up. Her birthday is next month...I can't believe she's going to be a year old.

"CHARLIE!" Jacob called, taking me out of my thoughts.

"SHE'S DOING IT!" He yelled. I quickly glanced at Maddie who was now falling on her bottom again. I sighed bowing my head. Jacob chuckled, picking her up.

"You keep missing it woman." He said.

"I know. I'm getting frustrated now." He laughed.

"You'll catch it." He said. I watched him play with her. She opened her mouth, teasing on his nose. He chuckled, sitting down on the couch.

"Ah! She has my nose. Help me!" He playfully screamed. She continued her teasing and I laughed. He pulled her away and gave me a confusing look.

"What?" I asked him. He sniffed the air then sniffed Maddie.

"Well then!" He said, moving her away from him. I laughed out loud at his face expression.

"You're eleven months old, which means you're eleven years old in my knowledge. Which means that you shouldn't be pooping in your diaper." He said while standing up.

"If that's the case. She shouldn't be wearing diapers." I laughed.

"True." He chuckled.

"I'll be back. Let's go stinky mami." He said, holding her up in the air as if she was flying. I sighed, propping my feet up on the couch. Jacob is such a great father...I couldn't imagine her real father taking care of her. He was crazy and he probably do his damage towards her. Luckily that demon is gone for good...because I would be running to and fro from him.

Craig

I sighed, wiping the sweat from my forehead. I sipped on my water, chugging it down in one gulp. I looked at the work I did. The right side was pink and the left was teal. Both names on the proper side. I pulled out one of the baby cribs and opened the box. I thought about Charmaine...I thought about her everyday. After she left, I became a wreck. I could kill myself and Adrienne. I tried calling Char and texting her, but she rejected me every time. I pulled out the parts, along with the instructions and got to work.

Avian

I sat on the floor, in front of the window...hoping for a miracle. It's what I do everyday. If I could just go back in time and turn things around, I would be happy. I would have my best friend back and we would be happy together...living life freely. I admit it...I screwed up and I've been punished for it...big time. But how long will the suffering last. I turned my head, looking at him lay there in bed. He's been in that bed for months, unable to do anything. Soon, I'll be joining him and we'll probably die together in that bed. If I could just go back in time and stop myself from doing what I did that day with him. I wouldn't been suffering right now. I wouldn't be trying to fight for my life, but I am and I can't take it anymore.
