The past comes back to haunt

They arrived home her mom asked, ‘‘What do you want to eat Sharon?’’

She said, ‘‘Whatever you make, but not now, I’m going do homework.’’

Her mom said, ‘‘Ok, It’s a done deal.’’ Meanwhile at Caleb’s house, Caleb was entering the living room, he heard his dad saying,

‘‘Seriously, they’re giving that movie again?’’ Caleb asked, ‘‘What movie?’’ His dad said, ‘‘Fifty Shades Of Grey. That movie isn’t a romantic movie.’’ Caleb said, ‘‘You and bashing things that you don’t like. Now, I know where I get from. Dad where’s mom?’’ his dad said,

‘‘In our room.’’ Caleb went to his parents’ room.

The dad mumbled to himself, saying, ‘‘It’s more like a ninety minute plus adult movie. I could write a better love story, upload it, and they’ll read it about 66, 67 times, and get two hundred eleven or two hundred twelve impressions. I bet it’ll more popular than that sorry excuse for movie slash book. And it’s a three part movie.’’

Then Caleb enter his parent’s room and asked, ‘‘Mom, what are going to make to eat?’’ His mom asked,

‘‘What are you hungry for?’’

He said, ‘‘FIsh.’’ She said, ‘‘Okay, I’ll make fish.’’ Caleb asked, ‘‘What are you doing?’’ His mom said,

‘‘Just cleaning up.’’ Then Caleb saw something, he asked,

‘‘Who is this?’’ his mom saw what he had, she quickly snatched it away from Caleb. She mumbled,

‘‘Can’t believe your father still has this.’’ She stood up and went out of her room.

Back in Sharon’s house, Sharon and her mom were going to eat. They prayed and started to their food. Seconds later, Sharon asked,

‘‘Hey mom, why doesn’t my dad live with us?’’ Her mom said, ‘‘He….. I…… We………’’ She had no idea what to say.

Sharon said, ‘‘Just tell me mommy.’’ Her mom sighed, got up, and walked towards Sharon. She kneeled down saying,

‘‘Honey, in life you’ll get wisdom by one of two ways. By seeking it, or by making mistakes. I had to learn the hard way. Your father doesn’t live with us because, I made a huge mistake. So be wise in your choices in life.’’

Then she went and sat down in her chair. Sharon asked, ‘‘How would I know if I’m making the right choice?’’

The mom said, ‘‘Well, analyze the outcome of your decision. And take it from there.’’

Sharon said, ‘‘Okay mom.’’ Her mom asked, ‘‘Are you enjoying your food?’’

She said, ‘‘Yes, I am mommy.’’ Her mom said, ‘‘Hurry and finish so we can see a movie together. Or you don’t want to?’’ Sharon said, ‘‘How about, ‘‘Tangled?’’ Her mom said, ‘‘Okay, Tangled it is.’’ So they finished their food, went to Sharon’s room and watch the movie.

Back in Caleb’s house, all the men were sitting at the table waiting to eat.

Caleb’s mom said, ‘‘Come and get your food, boys.’’ All the four boys went to get their food. The mom gave the food to the dad with an attitude. The dad sensed something was bothering her, he just shrugged it off, He asked, ‘‘Boy, how was school?’’ Caleb said, ‘‘It was good, that girl helped me again.’’ His dad said, ‘‘That’s nice of her, what’s her name?’’ Caleb said, ‘‘Her name is Sharon……’’ When the mom cut him off yelling,

‘‘You know I don’t have one picture of the guy I was with before I met your father, kids!’’ The dad asked, ‘‘What’s a matter? What’s going on?’’ She yelled, ‘‘I can’t believe you still have that picture!’’ She stormed out of the kitchen and went to their room. The boys finished eating and they all went to Troy’s room. The boys just heard their parents screaming. Back in Sharon’s house, Sharon got up to go to the restroom. While she walking to the restroom, she saw a light cracking from her mom’s room. She walked to her mom’s room, she opened the door. She asked,

‘‘Mom, what are you doing?’’ She said, ‘‘Oh, just looking at stuff.’’ Putting a book away.

She asked, ‘‘What are doing up?’’ She said,

‘‘Just going to the restroom, I came here I saw the light on.’’ She continued saying, ‘‘I’m going to get something to drink afterwards.’’

The mom asked, ‘‘What do you want to drink?’’ Sharon said, ‘‘Juice please.’’ The mom said, ‘‘Ok, you go to the restroom, I’ll get the juice.’’

Sharon said, ‘‘Ok mommy.’’ She went to do her business, while her mom got the juice for her. Sharon got out of the restroom, she saw her mom coming with the juice. She gave the glass to Sharon, drank the juice, and went to bed. Her mom went to clean her room. She said, ‘‘How I regret my decision.’’ Then she went to bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Caleb woke up to the sound of shouting.

He said, ‘‘This again.’’ He got up and went to the restroom, to wash himself.

His mom asked,

‘‘Do you regret not marrying her?!!!!’’ The dad said, ‘‘You know the story, you know what happened. If I would still felt something for her, you would’ve seen less of me, I would everything in power to…..’’ Troy came and said, ‘‘Can you stop, please? It’s almost six, and I’m going to be late for practice, please.’’

The dad turned to Troy, and said, ‘‘Ok boy, I’m going.’’ Then he turned to his wife and cupped her face in his hands, and said,

‘‘I love you alot, I won’t do anything to hurt you.’’

Then he grab his phone, ‘‘Here.’’ He put it in her hand. ‘‘I’ll let you see my phone anytime you want.’’ Then she look at his eyes, she hung her arms on his traps, and said,

‘‘That won’t be necessary.’’ She whispered something in his ear.

He smiled and said, ‘‘Ok, I’ll keep that in mind.’’

Then he left to leave Troy, Caleb, and their brothers at school.
