It's his birthday. That's the first thought that comes to my mind when I wake up. Carol is still sleeping peacefully beside me. I check my phone. 7 missed calls, 23 messages.
I shed a tear or two before I compose myself back again. Should I look at the messages? No. I shouldn't. Fuck you, Grey. But it's his birthday.
"Morning Daddy...." Carol stretches and yawns waking up beside me.
"Good morning, love." I kiss her.
"Why am I here?"
"Because I wasn't able to fall asleep by myself last night." I tell her, honestly.
She considers me for a minute.
"daddy, can I wish.... "
"Absolutely, not." I tell her, my mood taking a sudden plunge.
"Why don't you go to Zack's place for a playdate today? You haven't been there since a.... since a long time!"
She doesn't say anything. I pick her up and dress her quickly after giving her a bath. I leave her in her room for sometime to see if Matt is available for a playdate today and will Zack be able to pick her up.
Carol's pov
Something really bad has happened. I don't know what but it's really bad. Never before was I asked not to talk to uncle Grey. He has been my go-to person whenever daddy refuses me something or is mad at me. I love him so much.! Why did they have to fight? Also, Ana. She is so small. I wonder how is she coping up. I decide to quickly write a note for uncle Christian and slip it under his door while going over to Zack's place.
