Chapter 294
Chapter 0294 “I know. I-I just can’t figure out why I feel this way. Why don’t I want to see them?” Looking into Colt’s eyes, I pleaded with him to have an answer. However, the sympathy in his eyes toldI wasn’t going to get that. Your entire life, you thought they abandoned you. That is 19 years of anger and confusion that isn’t going to go away in one week. As much as you try to hide it or not feel it, you can be angry. No one expects you to just forgive and be their daughter again.” “I’m not like Kristen. I can’t just have this don’t give a f u ck attitude and move on. I feel things more deeply.” There was a part ofwhat felt like Colt always compared us together. Even though he denies it. “You need to find your own way of dealing with this but you do have to deal with it. Unless you want to make them go live with Alec and Ice, they are our problem. I’ll even let you punch Zac a few times if that will help?” He tried to make a joke but I didn’t fall for it. He wast right. I did need to find a way to move on. “Deal with it how? Be the loving, forgiving daughter?” That kind of pis sedoff he said that. “I didn’t say that. I said you needed to find a way to deal with it. If that way is anger and you yell at them, okay. If you want to confine them to their room, that is okay too but ignoring this isn’t going to make it go away. I will support you in whatever you choose on how to deal with this. I love you and this baby growing inside of you deserves to have a hwith zero negativity. Plus, we are living at our house anyway. Having them here isn’t like we will be their neighbor.”
My hand went over my stomach. I had just found out I was pregnant yesterday. Colt was the happiest I have ever seen him. Annoyingly so, 1/3 ne was nym. I urun mun to raide our mumu nmain grow up with. Constantly looking over their shoulders. Flinching anyt
someone raised their hands. I knew why Kristen was the way she was but I didn’t want to be that person. My shelter for abandoned kids was being built as we speak. There was plans for changes in the school system to help those who are academically advanced. Kristen had started it but I wanted more. What they didn’t know, I had started planning on changes I wish were. there when I was growing up as a teenager and now I planned on implementing them. “I guess put them where ever makes sense in the packhouse. You’re right. We don’t live here and I can always stay here or go hif I need space. I still don’t want Cassie or Zac to know where our home. is.” “Whatever you are comfortable with.” Colt pulledinto a hug. “I will be beside you ever step of the way.” “I wish I had someone here with me. As much as Sherry has relaxed and working through her issues, I don’t have help or a friend sten took Emmy with her.” “I thought you and Sherry got along?” Colt was puzzled by this. “Oh, we do get along but she is still working through her issues. I can’t talk to her like I could Emmy or Kris. Part ofstill feels like she needs a mentor than a friend.” “Maybe she feels like you don’t view her as a friend?” Colt said back to me. “What?” That surprisedenough that I pulled back and looked up at him. Colt was frowning as he looked down. “Jacob toldthat Sherry confessed to him that she feels alone here. She wants to have. “I like Sherry! She is just so timid and never says anything so l assumed she wasn’t ready so I never tried to push her.” I was appalled at what I was hearing. “Does she really think that?” 3/2
