when the story ends

CHAPTER 4

I didn't want to see him, but I was curious also I wanted to know what he wanted to tell me. I didn't say it to Leah, I know that she would have wanted to come with me, she always wanted to protect and she did for all these years, but I had to confront him this time, all by myself, I had to be braver.

I was sitting on the cold chair, my heart was racing, I wanted to change my mind when he got into the room, this big room filled with inmates and their family, some commited murder, some of them were thieves but all of this didn't matter because at the end of the day their loved ones would still come and visit them. He sat in front me saying nothing for a few seconds, his handcuffed to the middle of the roung grey table.

"what do you want?" I said trying to avoid his eyes

"I just wanted to see you" he said

"But why? Why now?" I asked

"I wanted to see if you were okay"

"Of course I'm okay, since you left I'm doing really fine" I said looking at him right in the eyes

"I know" he said staring at his hands

He was older but still had the same look, the one that used to terrify me, his face look tired and the few hair that he had left were grey.

"Can you try to forget about this?"

"Forget about this?" I said screaming "you think I can forget what you did to us, I can't believe this, maybe you forgot because of all the drinking but I didn't, I still have nightmares, I can't sleep without hearing her screams, you made y life a living hell, you think I didn't try to forget? Well I can't, you think I can forget when you put a knife down her throat, or when you would hit, and speak to her like was nothing, I can't forgive you or forget all of this, you killed my mother" I screamed louder, my heart felt heavy and my face was full of tears.

When I looked around me everyone was looking at us, but I didn't care because I said what I had to say.

He didn't say anything because he probably knew I was right and his wrong doings is what led him here

I stood up and lean towards him

"I hope you rot in here" I said quietly this time, I was so angry, I left, I couldn't stand him anymore, I don't even know why I came here.

I finally decided to put my past behind him, I couldn't do it complketely but I knew it was a step forward. It was not easy but talking to him helped put my past behind me.
