Can't Your Eyes See? [6]

Emma dropped Chelsea and Greg off to the motel, and told Chelsea that she really need to hide the van so her father, Jonathan wouldn’t find. Chelsea nodded and took Greg with her to the lobby, and paid to stay at the motel for few days. They waited for Emma to get there with them, so they would walk on the way to the door where they sleep.

Everyone was quiet in the motel room, and they felt the great pain inside their hearts but Emma was comforting Greg, her poor little brother. “Everything will be okay, but remember, you always stay with me no matter what. Do you know why?” Emma whispered in Greg’s ears, as she wrapped her arms around Greg tenderly. Greg shook his head, breathed voicelessly, “No, I don’t know why. Why?” Emma putted Greg on her laps, and hugged him lightly, saying, “Because I always love you no matter what. Also Mom and Dad truly love you, even though I know they are right now separating for while. I love you, my little brother.”

Greg shed the tears out of his hurt eyes, feeling like he was lost in somewhere, but he smiled at the moment because he had the best sister ever in the world. That’s all the matter was. Emma patted his back gently until Greg fell asleep in the bed. She slowly but surely got off the bed on the direction to her mom, Chelsea. She saw the tears in her dear mother’s eyes, and Chelsea endured thinking what to do with her children.

“Mom, Mom, what’s going on with Dad?” Emma whispered from her face to Chelsea’s face with her tears fall out of the eyes. “I still do not understand why he yelled at you just like that! That was harsh words! Why?!” Chelsea’s tears continued falling down her cheeks, starting to speak gently, “Emma, I don’t want to see you hurt as right now as you are. I hate it when it happened today! Look, it is long story and remember, that day, you heard our fight before you escaped to your room? That’s what happened and…and…I can’t let him hurt you worse than before… I just don’t want him to take you away with another woman he doesn’t know… I..I-I can’t speak another word of him… I’ll explain everything whenever the time will tell.” Emma was shocking as well as she collapsed on the floor. It crashed her heart into million pieces, and it was unbelievable news to her. She strengthened her legs to get up headed for the bed with Greg. She stared at the ceiling, thinking, until she fell asleep and had another terrible nightmare about her parents’ divorce.

Chelsea felt bad but thought what to do the next thing before Jonathan got them.
