Chapter 14
"I'll take them for this weekend and you can have them next weekend and we'll switch every weekend." Natalia said as she
packed her stuff into he suitcase.
"Where are you gonna go?" Eric asked feeling sad as he watched her pack.
"My parents live here, I'll go stay with them."
"Natalia are you sure we shouldn't think about this?" Eric said as he went over beside her and placed his hand on hers.
"Yes Eric I'm sure." Natalia said as she pulled her hand away and walked to the girls bedroom.
"Pack your stuff we're going to grandmas." Natalia said as she pulled out their suitcases.
"Ok!" The girls said as they hopped up and started packing.
Then Natalia walked into Aidens room and told him the same thing.
Natalia walked back into their room and got her suitcase and threw it into the back of the Hummer.
"Wait you're not taking my Hummer."
"Eric, I have all the kids. You can live without your Hummer. You have the Volvo. That's big enough for you." Natalia said as she walked back inside
grabbing the girls stuff.
"Mommy is daddy coming?" Adrianne asked as she helped her mom with her stuff.
"No." Natalia said as she threw their stuff in the back as well.
"Oh ok." Adrianne said as she, Avery, and Aiden hopped up into the Hummer.
Natalia buckled them in and let Eric kiss them goodbye.
Natalia hopped into the Hummer and turned it on and put it into reverse.
"Natalia...." Eric said as he stepped towards the car.
"What Eric?" She said as she rolled her eyes.
"I love you."
"Yea, well right now I don't feel like you do. But I do know one thing..."
"And what's that?"
"I love you." Natalia said as she backed out of the driveway.
Eric let a tear fall down his cheek as he walked inside feeling hurt.
Natalia sped down the highway trying to hold back the tears, listening to the radio as the kids stared out the window as the sky turned gray and it started to rain. Natalia turned the music up and listened closely to the lyrics of the song playing and how they related to her life right about then.
"I know this isn't what I wanted
I never thought it'd come this far
Just thinkin' back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are.
We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I'd give it all for that to change
And I don't want to lose her
Don't wanna let her go
I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
Before the storm
With every strike of lightning
Comes a memory that lasts
And not a word is left unspoken
As the thunder starts to crash
Maybe I should give up
I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold ya
Like I did before the storm
Trying to keep the lights from going out
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart
They always say,
A heart is not a whole
Without the one who gets you through the storm
Standin' out in the rain
Knowing that it's really over
Please don't leave me alone
I'm flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I'll never hold ya
Like I did before the storm." Natalia pulled into her mom's driveway and let the tears run down her face like there was no tomorrow.
She turned off the ignition, whiped her tears, and got out and unbuckled Adrianne and Avery and Aiden and they walked up to her moms door.
"Hey baby girl!" Natalias mom greeted as she opened the door.
"Hey mom." Natalia said as she hugged her mom.
"Here, let me help with that stuff." Natalias dad said as he came out the door and grabbed some of the suitcases.
"Thanks dad."
"You're welcome."
"Grandma!" The kids yelled as they ran up to her.
"Hey kids!" She said as she hugged all three of them.
"Can we make some cookies?" Aiden asked not hesistating while everyone laughed.
"Sure."
"Yay!"
The kids ran up stairs while Natalia, her mom, and her dad went and sat on the couch.
"So, what did Eric do this time?" Natalias mom said.
"Well, he had to go to California, and when he got back I heard a voicemail on his phone and it was from a girl in California. And she told him to call her. And I asked him about her and he said she worked with him. But I just didn't believe him."
"Well what if he was telling the truth?" Natalias dad said as he brought her a drink.
"What if he wasn't?" Natalia said before taking a sip of her drink.
"Well how would you know if you haven't talked to this girl or really even given Eric a chance to talk about it."
"I don't know. But I'm tired so I'm going to bed." Natalia said as she got up and put her drink away and walked up stairs and got in the bed and fell asleep.
Let me know what you think. :thumbsup:
