Chanel 33 part 2

Chanel's POV Cont...

~Later That Night~

 I sat in the bed thinking about the holidays. Holidays seem to be a really big thing in this family and I don't mind that at all but I don't feel like everything is complete for me yet. I mean I've forgave everyone who did me wrong because I wanted to start fresh but there is one person I  have not seen and no one says anything about. Where is my grandfather? I don't say anything because no one says anything about him and I don't want to ruffle any feathers. From the age of birth till five he was the only man in my life. I miss him, I remember the last time I saw him.

 ~Flashback~

 March 2003 

 Chanel walked around her grandparent’s apartment until she got into the kitchen. She saw her grandfather sitting at the table reading a newspaper. She didn't want to bother him so she went to get a cookie on her own. She moved a chair to the counter getting ready to climb. Matthew looked over the newspaper and saw what Chanel was doing. He noticed at a young age she liked doing things herself so he watched her. She climbed up on the chair and opened the cabinet.

 "Need any help?" Matthew asked.

 "No I got it." Chanel said.

 She went back to her mission and grabbed two Oreo's but thought about it and grabbed another one. She knew if her mother or grandmother was there she wouldn't be able to do what she was doing so she took advantage of it. She climbed down off the chair and pushed it back against the table. She went over to her grandfather.

 "Can you hold these?" She said handing him the cookies.

 He held her cookies as she pulled back the chair and climbed in it and sat next to her grandfather. He gave her the cookies back as he scooted up her chair.

 "Thank you." She said.

 "You’re welcome angel." He said.

 She sat next to her grandfather eating the cookies as he finished reading the paper.

 "Pa pa." She said.

 "Yes." He said.

 "How come I have to go to Aunt Christine's?" She asked.

 "Well you know your mama is a singer and she doesn't want you around that all the time." He said.

 "I know but I could stay with you or grandma or auntie Solo." She said.

 "All of us are working and nobody will be able to watch you." He said. "Plus your mama doesn't want you on the road."

 "Mommy doesn't want me around?" Chanel said.

 "No that's not it." He said as he pulled out her chair. "Your mama loves you and wants you around all the time but she doesn't want you brought up in that life."

 "But I miss y'all when you’re gone." She said.

 "And don't we always come back?" He asked.

 "Yes." She said.

 "So what makes this time different?" He asked.

 "I don't know." Chanel said hanging her head.

 "Hey, I promise when I come back we can go anywhere you wanna go okay." He said.

 "Pinky promise?" She said holding out her pinky.

 "Pinky promise angel." He said wrapping his pinky around hers.

 "You wanna help me pack?" She asked.

 "Sure thing." He said as he helped her down.
