Head of the Graveyard Shift
When they got back out to the living room, Don put on his coat.
"Donnie... where are you going? Donnie..."
"Too find our daughter, and drag her home."
Opening the door, he came face to face with her and Jason.
"You... get in here now. Not a tear, and not a God damn word. I've had it with you, Donna."
Walking in with Jason, she sat down, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Where did you find her?"
"She came to let me know she was leaving. I had to drag her back. I know what's like to be abandoned. My parents left me when I was twelve. I was forced to live on my own. But I made something of my life. I lived a road of hell, to get where I am now. But it will be a cold day in hell, before I allow those kids to be without their parents. they've already lost one, they don't need to lose another."
Don nodded.
"Why don't you have a seat."
Sitting down, Jess headed to the kitchen to make coffee.
"Why Donna? How could you even think, of leaving those kids behind? What the hell gets into your mind, that you have to run away when life becomes to tough? God you act like such a child Donna. I don't understand it, I honestly don't. I've never met anyone as selfish as you are."
"I'm sorry dad. I just can't seem to cope when life becomes to tough. Everyone blames me, and I know they are right. If not for all my lies, things could have worked out different. Now my husband is dead, and my father in law lies near death."
"I don't care what you can't cope with. You are not the only involved here. You have children, and a baby who need their mother, now more then ever. It's no longer about you. You understand that Donna? It's... not... about... you. He yelled with impatients. I'm so disappointed in you. Never did I think you would be such a coward, sorry, as harsh as that is, it's the truth."
Donna was in full tears, she knew every word her father had said was true. She was a coward, she was afraid of facing things head on. always had been.
"I'm sorry, daddy. Please... I just need time to come to terms with everything. I need time to think."
"Take all the time you need to think. Take all the time you need to heal. But wherever you go, your children go with you. Your mother, nor I will keep them. They are your responsibility, and it will be a cold day in hell, before you rob them of both parents. You handle her Jess. I'm done with it."
Hearing the baby cry, Don headed into the room to check on him.
"Donnie... where are you going? Donnie..."
