Perfect family

14

Gray and Pops came over to get some stuff.

I didn't really care.

Pj seemed really upset over it. I don't understand why.

Gray was leaving. So what?

Im kinda glad he was leaving.

Pops too. He always liked me the least, if he even liked me at all.

Acting like i don't exist sometimes. Eyes looking at anything but me.

And when he does look at me, it's with a scowl or look of disgust.

Maybe because I'm soulless like Dad use to be?

I don't know.

I look up from my drawing to see Pops and Dad heading upstairs.

"I'm going to talk to Gray." Pj said.

I shrug.

Pj walked away and to our room.

I slipped it of the kitchen and followed Dad and Pops without them noticing.

They entered their room. I stood outside the door.

Dad was talking with Pops.

Pops sighed. "Sorry Ink. We just don't work out anymore."

"Why? Why can't we go back to how we were? When we were both in love and happy."

Pops growled. "Because you decide to have those little mistakes instead of getting an abortion like I told you to!"

Dad growled back. "How dare you call our children that! How could you still believe having our children was a mistake?! You love Gray! You love him! How-"

"I love Gray now, but that doesn't mean I wanted him from the beginning. Just because I want to be a better father than I was from the start doesn't mean I want to be a father at all."

Dad, gazes at the ground as Pops continues.

"If I had the chance to take it all back and it be just you and me again I would without any regrets."

I decided to leave at that.

I slipped down stairs and back into the kitchen.

Pops came down stairs a short time later and left with Gray; Dad calling after.

I watched as Dad broke down after the portal closed.

Pj hugged him and started crying to.

I continue my drawings.
