Why'd
This Happen to Me?
Chapter
9
When I came home three days later, I was instantly welcomed by my
suitcases by the front door that held in my father’s tight
hands.
“Here, take these to the car.”
He practically shoved them into one of my hands, the other
occupied of holding little Kimberly.
“Dad, can’t you see I’m a little
occupied?”
I whispered in a quiet voice and motioned to Kimberly lying
asleep in my arms, her eyes tightly shut.
“No Aubrey. You said you would move out as soon as you had
that child, and you had it didn’t you?”
He kept his voice high and I could feel Kimberly stirring, ready
to wake up and make her mother even more frazzled than she
already was.
“Dad, please. Keep your voice down?”
He let out a deep breath through his nose and handed the bags to
my mother, who was making her way in behind me with the baby
carrier.
“Jarod, what-”
“She’s leaving now.”
He looked at me, and I cowardly looked down at my child. I
brushed a finger against her soft cheek and turned my head back
up to meet my father’s eyes.
“I love you daddy.”
Those words were hard to have come out of my mouth, but I wanted
to make him regret everything he said and did to me in the last
nine months. He stiffened up and looked away, and I turned around
and made my way to the car. My mother followed after me, trying
to carry my bags and the carrier at the same time, and
struggling.
“I’m so sorry honey.”
She said to me as she got into the driver’s seat, putting
the stuff in the back behind us. I just shook my head and looked
out the window, feeling the slight moment of Kimberly moving in
my arms.
“Where are you dropping me off?”
I turned to look at my mother and I saw that a smile arose on her
lips.
“Your apartment.”
I furrowed my eyebrows together and she let out a small
giggle.
“What are you talking about mom?”
“I decided to go against your father and buy you an
apartment. I paid off the rent and stuff, so now it’s
officially yours.”
I gasped quietly so as if not to startle her and reached for her
hand, quickly grabbing her arm.
“Are you serious?”
She nodded and I let out a small sigh of relief. There was one
thing I didn’t need to worry about. Just another thing to
check off on my list of things to do. I felt happy tears crawl
into my eyes and I reached up and wiped them away, my heart
picking up its shattered pieces and putting itself back
together.
“Mom that is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
Why though? Why did you help me even though I had a child at only
the age of sixteen?”
She let out a breath ad glanced at me mostly keeping her eyes on
the road ahead of us.
“You won’t realize it yet, but no matter what your
child could ever do, you can never stop loving it, feeling the
need to help and care for it. I knew that I could never let you
go completely by yourself, just leaving you in the middle of
nowhere. I needed to help you, and this is the way I thought
of.”
I grinned and leaned over to kiss her cheek. She smiled and stuck
her hand out, and I took her hand in mine. She gave mine three
soft squeezes, which always met “I love you” when I
was a child. I gave her three back, laying my head back and
closing my tired dark-rimmed eyes. My life was finally lifting
itself back up out of the shadows of darkness it had hid in for
so long.
