The ghost in the shadows

A second chance?

It's been a month since everything, and I just watch over my parents like a hawk and hate myself even more now, the door bell rings being me out of my thoughts, hush I know, I watch my dad answer the door and I can't believe who it is, It was uncle Z and cousin Afri,

"What are you guys doing here?" My dad says hugging and inviting them in, dad didn't want to read my note because he was trying to be strong for mom, so he doesn;t know what they did,

"We just wanted to make sure y'all was doing alright" uncle Z said

"We're managing"  dad says in a small voice

"Oh, that's good" Z said

"I guess, Cathy still stays in bed staring at the wall with a blank face" dad says sadly, and at the mention of my mom  I go upstairs, into my mom's room, she's asleep now with tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes, she cried herself to sleep, I smile sadly at her and just watch over her.

After a while I go downstairs and just watch over my dad and just watch him interact with my cousins,

"I'm gonna go check on Cath" my dad says getting up and going up stairs to check on my mom,

"Yoooo I can't believe they believed our sob story, I don't give a fuck of she's dead or not" my satan of an uncle said

" HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT DAD, SHE WAS YOUR NIECE! SHE DIDN'T DESERVE WHAT WE DID TO HER THAT NIGHT AND NIGHTS AFTER THAT!" My cousin yelled at his father in distress ready to break down at any moment, once I saw my mom and dad coming down the stairs with an angry look on his face I knew he had beard,

"What exactly did you guys do?" He asked there with such venom in his voice that I even flinched

"We did nothing! C'mon Mase you really believe we would anything bad to key? She was my only niece" Zach said

"You guys raped and molested our daughter!" This time it was my mom who had the venom in her voice

"WE DID NO SUCH THING!" z said continuously lying to my parents

" YES WE DID FATHER! JUST TELL THEM THE TRUTH!" Affri said to his father

"Fine! We did, but that doesn't mean I'm sorry about it, she felt so good that I had to come back for more" he said thrusting the air

"Arghhhh!" My dad screamed and ran towards him getting on top on him punching him repeatedly making him bleed over and over, my mother had to pull him off before he killed the man, I mean I would rather him do it, but that would mean he would be with me,

"Now get the FUCK out of my house" my mom yelled at them, my cousin helped his dad up and they quickly got out the hpuse the door being slammed behind them,

"I can't believe them" mom says as she sobs in dads chest, him whispering sweet nothings to her, after a while she had stopped crying and sat down on the couch and watched Tv while dad cooked dinner.

***************
After dinner, my parents cleaned up and went to bed, this was the first time since I've been gone that my parents had eaten together and had a lil laughs here and there,

"Yeah, remember when Key was a baby and everytime you wanted a kiss she would push your head away" my mom said to my dad as they were going up the stairs, my dad just laughed and shook his head,

"Yeah" my dad said smiling a sad smile, I looked at my mom as they stood there in silence reminiscing, even though she was so depressed that she hadn't ate you could see the little bump on her stomach forming,  I don't know if she knows but she's definitely pregnant, I wish there was someway I can just come back and not give a shit what people thought.
