Shane:
I listen to Chris's sleep snores. Last night was crazy, Chris came home a mess. As soon as she opened her mouth to explain what happened, she threw up a bunch. So I went to the alcohol cabin knowing exactly what her and Raven were up too. My heart dropped at the missing whiskey, vodka, scotch and many more expensive alcohol. Why was she doing this?
Chris starts to stir a little, then slowly starts to wake up. Her eyes are glassy and red, as they dart around the living room.
But I have to get this all together before tommorow. I smile at the thought of Chris finally meeting my family in person.
"thank..you.." Chris says after I hand her the Advil. She holds her pounding head, before snuggling back into my shoulder.
It takes everything of me to not drill her with questions. Before all of this, Ryland begged to at least have a talk with Chris. It just wont be the same, and I know it. Chris doesn't open up to Ryland because she isn't as close, which isn't fair. Ryland deserves a relationship with his daughter, just like me.
"W-where's..ryland?" Just on cue, Ryland comes in with Uno from his earlier walk. He spots Chris and smiles.
I give him a look, be gentle. Chris is fragile, like glass, and she is even more fragile now since the whole snowball effect after her suicide attempt.
"Are you going..to apologize?"
Ryland frowns, sitting next to Chris. He starts to brush her hair with her brush nearby, trying to tame that mess. I smile, at Chris frowning and whining at the naughts.
"so are you, because I'm sorry..for..for.." Chris struggles."and that hurts, fuck!"
"yes Chris, I'm sorry for not understanding. The whole thing is just.." Ryland starts to tear up, I rub his back a little. "So hard to process and I dont want to lose you."
Then its out. I've never seen Ryland cry like this in the time we've been together. Not even when I forced him to get a tattoo on his lip for his video.
I give him a small kiss and then give him a hug. I pull back, expecting Chris to do the same, but she just stares at nothing.
"Christine, I'm.. sorry babygirl. Will you.. please forgive.. me?" Ryland says through sobs.
"After the whole situation, you said something that triggered something, I guess. It was something about disrespect.." Chris turns to Ryland, tears starting to form in her bloodshot green eyes."I had a flashback or something, about my father. It was when I was little and everything was fine, mom was alive, and Nicole just got the invite to UCLA.
"I remember everyone being so happy and excited. I remember my father picking me up and twirling me aroumd in the air-everything was perfect." I watch as Chris leans into Ryland's shoulder, barrying her face in it.
"Mom and Nicole were out shopping for decorations to decorate Nicole's dorm. I was alone with my father, which was fine. I remember being so excited of my masterpiece of an elephant that I colored, and i really wanted to show my dad. But when I went upstairs there was smoke and beer bottles littering the dark room. There was a women there having sex with my father. And he was drunk too. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what was happening."
Ryland puts his arms around Chris, rocking her."..you don't have to-"
"I need to." Chris says, fully trying to push back the tears that were spilling." He..he.."
"Did he touch you..like.." I ask, unable to finish my sentence because of my tears and voice cracks.
She nods."The lady told him to leave me alone, but she got beaten bad by him. I was only little, and dumb, but I thought I should help. The woman was so nice to me. So I went to break it up, and that's when he hit me.
"' dont you dare disrespect me again.' Thats what he said. It was the first time my father hit me, and it was the first time he touched me.."
I glance at Ryland, but he's crying with Chris, whispering comforting words. I nod to myself, this is so much more then what Chris came here with. Its so different, and just not okay. Its hard to even comprehend how a little girl like Chris would have felt being touched, and yelled at, and beaten by her once perfect father. He deserves nothing good in his life.nothing.
The alchohols were expensive, and I'm pretty sure Raven brought some drugs judging by Chris's now. But I dare not to bring it up just yet, Ryland and Chris have already taken a step of progress.
"H-How are you okay?" I blurt.
"I'm not. I dont take the pills you try to shove down my throat, the only thing that makes .e happy at this point is..raven." Chris covers her mouth, glancing at Ryland.
Did she just come out? No, they are just friends.
"You know how important it is to take them, look where it has gotten you when you don't. " I say."please, just do it for us."
Chris nods, giving Ryland and me a hug."I'm sorry, and I forgive you Ryland."
Chris:
I sit on the bed, watching as Ryland struggles to pack all his stuff to fly back home with Morgan for thanksgiving. Shane is on the phone downstairs with his mom or something, trying to figure out this whole family get together thing. Leaving me to do nothing but watch Ryland hurry to pack up.
"Oh my god, I'm so excited." Ryland says, finally zipping his suitcase shut. "And soon, you're going to meet my family for Christmas. They are going to favor you over Morgan."
I frown. I honestly hate all these holidays, and no I am not the grinch. There's so much anxiety surrounding them, like what if I mess up and they hate me? What if they don't like me, and they see my scars? WHAT IF ITS AWKWARDD.
"what's wrong?" Ryland picks up the suitcase, beckoning for me to help him with his pillow for the plane.
"I'm just worried about the whole thing, I guess. I've never had family holidays, even with mom and Nicole still around, all our family didn't like my father." We get downstairs to pack some healthy snacks for the vegan living under this roof.
"alright, Morgan is here with the uber. I'll see you guys next week." Ryland gives me a kiss on the forehead, followed by me hugging him goodbye.
Shane gives him a huge kiss on the lips for awhile, making me cringe."Ew, y'all are disgusting."
Then one last goodbye hug and Ryland is off to his hometown for thanksgiving. I glance at Shane, a smile placed on his lips.
"Ok, so here's the plan." He claps his hands." We've got days to do whatever the hell we want before mom gets home and ruins it all."
I snort, getting out my phone to dial Raven."Raven is coming over to sleepover. Is that fine?"
Shane takes awhile to respond, grabbing my phone out of my hand. I whine out a complaint. "I have something I would like to talk to you about."
"more of these!! Where is Andrew, this better bot be a fucking eight part series."
"Chill, I was just going to ask you if you want Nicole to come over for thanksgiving, you guys haven't talked since the incident."
I nod."is that it?"
"well, I was going to ask about Raven sleeping over. I know you guys are close and all, but I'm your dad and I'm half gay, so.."
I sigh."We'll have some 'father-daughter' time together, if that's what you're wondering about."
I smile at his defeat."I win. Love ya!"
