His past was an undiscovered world that I never knew

Feelings

The kids fell asleep lying on the couch next to tami she didn't move or lift them she just left them sleeping next to her

Sophie sat in Eric chair

" do you love my brother " she asks randomly

" I know this must sound cliche but it's not , I love Eric so damn much that sometimes it feels like my heart is gonna explode out of my chest he is just amazing he is my other half I am completely head over heels in love with him so yes I love your brother "

" I talked to that umm what was her name I think it was Tyra yea Tyra anyway and she was telling me how great you two are "

" aww I helped Tyra a lot in high school she went from being the dumb slut no offence Tyra to the smartest pupil in her class and she went to TMU university for 4 years to study business so she always so sweet and kind about us "

" I don't think she was just being kind I think she adored you two but I don't think she was lying "

" aww thanks Sophie I'm sure Eric will be here soon he will probably help me lift the kids to bed then I will go to bed let you too talk it out and I suppose tonight you could just stay in the spare room if you wanted you could do whatever you could leave if you wanted but I think Eric needs to talk to you "

" sounds like a pretty good plan "

" good he usually gets home like " and she stops as he walks through the front door " now " she says and laughs he walks over and kisses her lightly then he sits on the edge if the couch he strokes Kai hair

" will I get Gracie you get Kai "

" yes okay let's go " she says he scoops up Gracie in his arms she does the same with Kai and they both walk down the hall they just lie them down in there bed and pull the covers over them the shut each bedroom door and then they meet up outside

He leans down and kisses her she wraps her arms around his neck the kiss getting deep then they pull away

" you have a brother too " she says quite angry

" yes I'm guessing she told you about him and stuff "

" yup Eric I'm gonna go to bed and you are gonna go talk to her for as long as you need then after she will sleep in the spare bedroom for a night okay"

" I can't talk to her I want to go with you "

" Eric come on I know you don't want to talk about all your crap okay but you need to and not to me you need to talk to her please go talk to her "

" okay I will go " he says and leans down and quickly kisses her she pulls away and smiles

" go come on " she says and walks down the hall with him she says goodnight to Sophie then she walks down the other hall to her room she gets changed and lies down in her bed

Meanwhile in the living room

Eric was sitting on the couch and she was sitting on the couch

" why are you here what are you doing " Eric says quite angry

" I came to see you mum said you were getting on we'll i wanted to come see you "

" we'll I'm doing fine but for some reason all the family I tried to run away from keep on coming back "

" you can't run away Eric you can't he is an asshole I know you know we all know okay but we all suffered like you "

" no you didn't because I saved you all I was the one that when he was hitting and kicking and throwing everyone at walls when he hits us with the belt I was the one who saved you I jumped in front of him every time in front of you , mike , mum I was the one who got hit I was the one who got tortured I am the one with all the scars not any of you and yes I went to school and played football and I wasn't aware of the fact that he was hurting mike while I was gone so yes it was kind of my fault but what about all the other times , what about all the other times when I put every single one of your safety to the top of my priorities instead of my own , I was the one and I am the one who has nightmares and who is worried that I'm going to turn out like him and hurt everyone I care about tami and Kai and Gracie and Julie I am scared to death so yes I will run I will continue running for the rest of my life "
