Master of Deception: Things aren't always what they seem by Karoyln Huddleston

ass husband wasn’t around. I hate shit like that. The point of me telling her about Tristan and Jay was so she would see him for what he truly was…no good. But it seems like she fell even deeper in love with him. I don’t know. Right now my life is so fucked up…I wish I was dead right now.
     
     
    Chapter 31
    Young Ronnie…Grows up
    My daddy and my Uncle Jay got shot today. I can’t believe this, I also heard that my Dad is gay and he and Uncle Jay are…or were a couple. I’m not surprised because long time ago I overheard my dad talking to Uncle Jay on the phone. I think they were arguing about time and my dad kept saying “but you know I have a family, please just give me more time.” I was coming down the hall and heard him, my mom was gone. I continued to listen as I heard my dad say that he loved him and that this would be all over soon. I’ve seen my dad and Uncle Jay staring at one another when my mom would leave the room, or they’d have a whispering session whenever they’d be alone. I’ve always just kind of walked up on these things and even though I figured it out long time ago…he is my dad. And nothing will or can ever change that. My cousin Tina came and picked me up from school and took me straight to the hospital to see my dad. The minute I stepped in the hospital I felt sick. What if my dad die? Why him? Why did my Aunt Kandi do this to our family? I finally pulled myself together and asked the front desk nurse for Tristan Harris’s room number. She was taking forever to look it up... I just wanted to see my dad. I don't care about nothing but seeing him. 272b, west wing, I was already running towards the closing elevator before she said west. By the time I got to the room my tears we're blinding me and my heart was so heavy. Seeing my dad laying there with bandages, tubes and tears pouring down his face made me cry even harder. I hugged my mom first and told her how much I loved her...because I know her heart is broken to. My mom wouldn't have ever knowingly allowed this to happen. My cousin briefed me on the details and more on our way to the hospital. Plus, I knew a lot because of my cousin’s texting me when everything first went down. Our community is small and word travels fast. My Uncle Jays mom was comforting my dad when I walked in the room, so I hugged her next. But I couldn't wait to hug my daddy. He looked so sad and he was hooked to so many tubes and cords. I hugged him as gentle as I could and I just burst into tears again. My words came endlessly and honestly. “Daddy I love you so much and I've known... or should I say I had a pretty good idea some time ago that you and Uncle Jay were more than friends. But it never made me love either of you any less. Daddy I am so sorry that this happened to you...I love you regardless of you being gay. That never mattered to me when it came to you, you've always been my dad and always will be” I sobbed as I finished telling him how I felt. But there was one more thing I had to do. And that was give my mom some love because she remained with my dad up to this very point and it doesn't matter to me about her and Aunt Kandi. My mom was and is hurting so very bad.
    And all this chaos and confusion is the fault of both parents not one. So I walk over to her, and I tell her what a great mom she is and she totally breaks down. But I have to finish telling her how I feel. “Mom you are so very strong... you held us together even though I could see you were hurting. Every day when dad would be gone, in spite of your pain you always kept home together for all of us and I just want to thank you. I need to tell you, great job as a mom and a friend to me and dad.” The room was quite, except for the crying. Both my parents, my cousin and Mrs. Lowe were crying. This day is the worst but for once... Everything is in the open.
