Divergent High

Chapter 23

I wake up and there's breakfast on the table and I see Maddie at the table."Did you do this Madelyn?"Yes."Thank you Maddie I know I was hard on you but I'm sorry and thank you Madelyn."Your welcome mom."I hug her and make coffee and eat.Tobias comes out."Hey."He says and kisses my head."Hi."Adam comes out."Ugh he's still here?"I chuckle "Yes.Son I know you hate him but please be nice."Okay."Mailyn wakes up."He's still here!Really?"says Mai with a sad face and a sigh."Yes.Now you and your brother please be nice.Please."Fine."she sighs.We all sit down and finish eating.Me and Tobias go grocery shopping and the kids clean their rooms.Once I get back the house is cleaned but I cleaned it before I left."Mom can he please leave?"asks Adam."No son."Mom..."Adam listen."Tobias says."No.Stop acting like your the boss of me.Because your not.You are not my dad never have and never will be.I always used to wonder what my dad would be like.Would me and him ever do stuff together?Play sports together?Talk about girls together?But I'm disappointed in this man in front of me.My moms everything I thought she would be.Smart and funny and pretty an nice.But my dads the total opposite.Total.He's just a man who beat my mom in front of my three month old sister and five your old aunts and thought I would never know.To late now Tobias.To late now.So I would love it if you left.

Me and Mai both would.But that's not going to happen.So if you want to stay on my good side stop bossing me around and acting like you know me and we won't have a problem."Adam Luke Prior what has gotten into you?"Mom I just don't like him and neither does Mailey she's twelve and never yells because she's afraid to get yelled at and since that monsters here she's afraid to get beat."Is that true Mai?"I ask.She nods."I never knew you felt that way."says Tobias."Well you've never been around and you knew you had a daughter you knew you had two actually so I wouldn't expect you to know."says Mailey."I didn't mean to hurt her is what you're not getting.I love her and have no idea what was into me then so stop blaming me and being afraid you're gonna get beat."You said yourself you could hurt us at any given moment."says Madelyn."So your on their side?"asks Tobias."Yes."me and Madelyn both say."You did say that and Tobias I know you and you meant it.You really did."I say."And they have a good point."says Madelyn."So Tobias I'd appreciate if you left."He nods and leaves.We all sit on the couch and go to sleep.
