"Yeah, it should." I say bluntly, If you knew what they'd said.

"Dying over here then." I reply,"What's so bad then? Care to share Christopher?"

I laugh without humour, "Oh wow, the real name, stings, really does. And no, I'll keep it to myself. I'm not that coldhearted."

"Oh? You think this is coldhearted?" I arch an eyebrow.

"No, it's coldhearted not being there for your daughter, giving her to Rowan how could you?"

I falter slightly for a moment, "That-...that is for her own good."

"Her own good? What kind of bullshit is that? Having her father right infront of her and never knowing."

"You don't get it. It's to keep her safe, and happy. And she is safe and happy, with Rowan. Not me. That's it." I say, louder than I intended to.

"No, I don't get it, but I would never just toss my child aside even if it was for her own good."

"I did not toss her aside!"

"You basically did! It's cos she looks so much like Erin doesn't it? You can't handle that guilt can you!?"

I open my mouth to speak, then close it again, "That's nothing to do with it." I say after a moment.

"Liar, it's cos you can't handle it, you still love Erin so much and you can't bare raising your kid without her, how fair is that to Poppy?"
|
|

Post by Ian Hunt on Sept 15, 2007 22:37:59 GMT
"No, you're wrong. That's not it at all. I don't love her anymore, I don't care anymore, Poppy is better off with someone who can take care of her." I argue.
|

Post by Madeline Speare on Sept 15, 2007 22:41:17 GMT
"You still love her, that's why you keep fighting with me, cos I'm not her. And I never will be, Poppy is your flesh and blood, does that mean nothing to you?"

"I don't want Erin!" I shout, "She's dead and I couldn't care less because she did it to herself! Of course it means something to me, that's why I'm giving her a chance, you said it yourself, people are better off without me!"

"Not if they mean something to you!" I yell back,"Growing up without your mother but having your father right infront of you and never knowing? How cruel can you get?"

"Oh spare me the nobility!" I yell.

"Fine I will, don't even know why your still here!"

"Yeah, me neither," I mutter bitterly, pushing past her and out of the door.

"Why I ever wanted to have children with you in the first place is beyond me." I mutter, glaring at him as he pushes past me.

"Beyond the both of us," I say over my shoulder, "Good luck by the way."

"Won't need it. Not pregnant anymore." I reply,"Oh but don't let that change your mind keep walking."

I stop for a moment, barely resisting the suddenly overpowering urge to hit out at the wall next to me and yell 'fuck' as loud as possible. Instead, staying still for just a few seconds before carrying on walking, "Good."

"Yeah, great. I knew you wouldn't care, so everything worked out well." I say after him,"Oh and Christopher, I want my key back."

"Well, you've got me pegged," I say coldly, "I left the key on the table, don't worry about that."

"Oh like it's that hard to do?" I reply cooly.

"You seem very confident about that." I reply scathingly, You have no idea.

I bite down on my tongue, resisting the urge to comment back.
