Kidnapped III: Offspring//Mike Vitar Fanfic COMPLETED

Chapter Four

James'POV

School had finally let out for today and I waited on the side of the school for Elise to walk out. Finally she had, "It's about time doofus! Come on before we miss the bus!" I say as I grab her arm and pull her towards the bus. She jerks her arm away as her and I keep walking, "Stop it James! I know how to walk!" She yells, again I had rolled my eyes, "Whatever! Hurry up!" I say as her and I speed walk to the bus. We get on and take our seats in the middle of the bus, a few minutes later we were off.
     When the bus had reached our stop I took Elise by the hand again and she groaned. Once we got off the bus I had to explain to her again, "I told you it makes mom feel better" I say as we get closer and closer to the house, "Why does mom always get into a sad mood?" Elise asks. We keep walking and I don't look back at her but I do answer this, "It's nothing, don't worry about it...I'm sure it's fine" I say. Elise shrugs it off. But the same question still sits in the back of my mind, will mom and dad get a divorce? I tried shaking this thought as we walked up to our front door. I let Elise go in first. We got inside and mom had appeared from the hallway where all of our rooms were, "Hey Kids! How was school?" She said with a cheerful tone. Hearing mom sound in such a good mood made Elise and I happy, "It was good, Ms. Day let us have cupcakes for Jimmy Lyons' birthday today!" Elise exclaims, mom's face lit up, "Wow! That sounds like fun! What about you James? How's that math class coming along?" Mom had asked me, I nod, "It's really good, We took another test today and I got my score back, I got an A!" I say excitedly. Mom claps her hands and smiles giving me another big slobbery kiss, "Yay! Good job baby I'm so proud of you! See what I tell you...a little studying never hurt no one and you got that A!" She says giving me a hug. I smile. I got that quick feeling again that things might be okay.
    But once 8:30pm came around I was sitting in my bedroom on my bed with the light on. Thinking. Thinking about what it is that makes mom and dad act so strange and so worried and so...sad. Divorce is the only answer I can come up with, but maybe they aren't telling us so they don't freak us out. But if that's the case, Elise and I are picking up on it quickly. The thought of them getting divorced kills me inside, I hate thinking this but until I know for sure, That thought always come back to me.
   I had subconsciously started to cry, I didn't even know it until I heard a faint knock on my door and my dad walk in, "Hey...what's wrong bud?" He says real gently while sitting next to me on the bed. I wanted to talk to him about this, I can't stand being confused about it anymore. So I finally broke it to him, "Dad...I'm worried about you and mom...Mom gets into these...really sad moods, and when she does...so do you, sometimes I've heard you guys fight...are you and mom getting...a divorce?" My words faded away. Dad gives me a saddening look and wraps his arm around me and pulls me close to him, "No! No we're not getting a divorce I promise you kids that" he whispered in my ear. I cried some more as I wrap my arms tightly around him and let the rest of my tears flow.
