From Rags To Riches: Chapter Twenty-Seven

Soon enough the visualization showed that of a car, with Matthew seen at the wheel as Anna was seen in the passenger seat; both of the siblings seeming to be quiet towards each other, as Anna had her arms crossed and appeared to be staring out of a window- her mind was dwelling on many thing's, mainly the fact that she was heading somewhere out of town with the brother she felt distant towards to see the nephew she never knew.

"...... So....uh, tell me about my nephew." Anna spoke out trying to strike up a conversation, as Matthew looked over towards her then turned his attention back to the road; as he appeared to hesitate.

"......I can't really tell you that much about him Anna.." Matthew finally admitted, as he soon added.

"I've been skipping out a few times of seeing him...don't you remember?"

"Well yeah I do, but when you said a few times I thought maybe like-"

"At least two months" Matthew finished, as Anna looked at him with shock it seemed.

"Two months!?" She asked with shock, as Matthew shook his head.

"Mat, man that really sucks," Anna said, as Matthew sighed a bit.

"I know Anna, I know ...a boy should have his father, and I DO want to be there for him.. ...it's just ..thing's happen." Matthew muttered, lowering his eyes a bit; as he soon added.

"Mostly between me and his mom... I mean heck even when I take him to my house for a couple of days his mom constantly calls, checks in, even COMES over to ensure that he's doing okay...I try to ensure her that he's FINE, but she insists on coming over JUST to be certain."

"So she doesn't think you take care of your son?" Anna asked, as Matthew lowered his head slightly but kept his eyes on the road; as he soon spoke out.

"I'd say so.... although she hasn't said it fully. She just ... does things like that you know? it's like every five minutes she's calling to check in"

"Why didn't you just ignore her?" Anna asked.

"Quite simple, my boy will then ask "why aren't you answering when mom calls"? OR she keeps on calling and makes it very annoying... I'm worried that if I completely ignore her, then she'll call the police thinking something happened or she'll come over to make sure everything is okay- if I have the door's like locked or something, she may call the police thinking something's wrong." Matthew explained as Anna appeared concerned.
