done with love.
chapter two
Devin's POV
The flashback of what happened an hour ago, kept replaying in my mind. i wonder if it would always be such an open wound.
Devin, can you come here? my mom callled from downstairs, "its time for dinner"
i clicked off Tim's wall; he was the guy i was currently crushing on .and i was crushing hard. he was the cutest boy ive ever seen, and all i wanted to do was talk to him once, if i could just talk to him once..."DEVIN!, now!" my dad called again impatiently.
my parents were in a bad mood recently. theyve been fighting non stop, but thats not abnormal. there used to be periods of my life, where they'd fight, but they'd always make up. theyd always be happy again. All my friends parents are divorced, except for mine. To them, we were the perfect family- and i pride myself with that, well i used to. i walk downstairs, towards the dinner table. they were already in the living room, sitting down. they room was tense and there was something off about the mood in the room. it wasnt hostility anymore, more like gloomy. i cautiously took a step towards the room, and they motioned for me to sit down. We said our prayer, but not holding hands, which was a tradition. i was the first one to grab the bread, surprised that it wasnt a fight. whenever mom made garlic bread me and my dad would fight to get the best peice, but not today. i was the first one to get some spaghetti too. actually, i was the only one to eat at all, but that wasnt for long. while i was slurping my spaghetti obnoxiously, to try to add some noise to the table, my mom put her hand over mine, and sighed.
"Devin," she whispered. i looked up from my spaghetti and saw that my dad was already standing up, by the kitchen door. he pulled his luggage out of the corner.
"What's going on? Is dad going on another business trip?" i asked excitedly. whenever my dad left, he'd always come back with something special for me. he'd always bring something unexpected, and unreplaceable.
my dad came over to me, and put his strong hand on my shoulder.
they werent answering my question, so i continued to ask more, "OH, are we all going?" i asked seeing that there were actually many bags packed. it looked like backage for the whole family to go, so i asked "ohh! family vacation? im so excited! where are we going?" i was getting nervous and i kept asking more and more question, scared to hear the answer. "omg, are we driving? or are we taking a plane? how come you guys never tol-"
i was cut off by my mom, "honey listen. we're not all going. it's just your father." she said quietly and shakky. she looked up at my father, "rick?"
"Devin," he sighed "we're splitting up, we're getting a divorce."
i felt like my whole world was coming down on me. crashing down on me. why was this happeneing TO ME? i didnt know what to say, i looked at them with tears forming down my face.
"b-b-ut why?" i asked in between sobs.
"Sweetie," my mom said squeezing my hand, " its not you, it really isnt you"
i jerked my hand away, i was NOT gonna sit here and listen to them say its not my fault, and that they were still and always will love me, because that was bullshit, if they loved me they wouldnt be breaking up. i saw the door, and ran to it. i didnt look back.
thats why im here now.
