My haunting past

Chapter 2-Dad?

"Yes, he did greatly" I said hugging Elijah and giving the dirty eye to Matthew

"I'm sorry Eli, I really am" I said

"It's fine, he's still dead to me" he said

"Me too" I replied

"And don't forget, you can't tell anyone. I haven't told any of your siblings or uncles or aunts. Please don't say anything" I said

"I won't" he replied

"We will be okay, we won't see him again" I said

"Ok" he replied. He left the office and I know he will continue asking questions.

"Fuck" I shouted

"He won't say anything" Matthew said

"Yes he will, he's been a blabber mouth and he's bound to tell Ella. They're fucking twins. I'm screwed and it's all because of Stefan" I said

"You and I need to talk though about what happened. I know you want to relapse right now, everything that you and Stefan had is coming back and you don't know what to do" he said

"And I'm assuming you don't want to drink?" I questioned

"I never said I don't but I have to remind myself what the consequences are and who it affects. No matter how much I want to drown it out I can't and neither can you. Only thing we can do is take it and process it not let it drown us out. So tell me what's wrong?" He asked

"Everything, how could he do that to me. Fucking leave me, the kids, everything for a new life with a random whore and he doesn't even know what he did to us, this family. The amount of shit we've gone through and for what." I exclaimed

"He's put us through a lot of shit and he will never get away with it, let him feel the guilt" he said

"God I hate him, he's ruined me" I exclaimed with frustration. I'm the reason why I'm like this now, I wouldn't have been like this if he was fucking alive

"And Andrew, he-he died for no reason. The one brother I liked and now he's gone because of Stefan" I said

"There's nothing we can do to bring him back, but we will avenge him. Stefan has put us through shit and we won't let him affect us" he replied

We talked some more until he had to head home to his family. Once he left I went upstairs to Elijah.

"Can I come in" I asked knocking

"Sure" he replied. I opened the door and saw him on his bed

"I wanted to talk to you" I said

"Is it about dad?" He asked whispering the last part

"Yeah, how are you with all of this?" I asked

"Fine, I don't know" he said annoyed. The one thing I hate about teenagers is they are always moody

"Eli, I know this is hard for you. You can talk to Dr. Williams, I will fill her in on stuff" I said

"I don't care, can you just leave my room" he said with attitude

"Elijah, I know you're confused but I don't need this attitude from you. I'm going through a lot as well" I said

"Sorry" he replied

"It's fine, but if you don't want to talk to me, talk to Dr. Williams" I said

"Ok" he replied

I needed to talk to Dr. Williams about this for myself. I have to focus on not relapsing. I grabbed my phone, texting Dr. Williams
