Untangled

LEAVING YOU

The time has come when Daryl and Daniel have to leave. Daniel left after a couple of weeks when he said to Christine and her parents that he decided to leave. Candice burst into tears when she heard what Daniel had said and blaming herself, because for her it is her fault and the only reason why he is leaving but Daniel rush towards her and hug her murmuring onto her ears that he love her very much and no one will ever replace her, Robert hug her wife after Daniel untangle himself to the hug, Robert smiled at him and whisper to his ears that they need to talk in private, he nod in an agreement and he went toward Christine and ruffle her hair and she let him ruffle her hair even though she hate it because she always has to fix her hair again but this time she let him do whatever he wants because whether she like it or not she has to admit to herself that she will always miss this guy and no one can ever replace their bonding together and the memories that they made together will be forever cherish by her, she smiled at him and pinch his cheeks, she is sure in one thing that she will miss their interaction together, she will miss his stupid ass and she miss his stupid laugh and how he always took care of her. She is aware to what he feels towards her but he never admit it that is why she prolong her confession to Daryl because she never want to hurt Daniel, she just wish wholeheartedly that one day Daniel will find his happiness and that girl will love, accept and take care Daniel because that is what Daniel deserve.

While he ruffled her hair Daniel wants to burst into tears because he will really miss this family he love them with all his heart that he even can sacrifice his life for them he will never choose another family, because this family accepted him with open arms, they accepted him for who he is with his past and most especially they accepted him even though that he is the main reason when Christine had her accident, but no one blames him maybe Daryl did but he completely understand where it came from.

After a very and tiring hours of crying Candice finally stopped crying and went towards him she held his hands and said in a sweet voice “if that is the decision that you made I will completely accept it, but always remember that no matter where you are even though that you are in another country or side of the world you have a family that will always love you and you can come back anytime, she look at his eyes and continue, because no matter what I, yet this family will always wait for you” she smiled at him even though his smile did not reach his eyes he knows that she is only smiling because he wants to feel or rather know that they will support him, she let go of his hands and went to her husband. Christine is standing at the door frame and smiled at him sweetly, when he saw her smile he smiled back at her and walks towards her when she reach her he stop and caress her cheeks and said in a sweet and low voice “I will be forever grateful that I met you and your family” Christine lean on his touch and said “correction it is not your family but our family” and she look in his eyes her eyes held adoration and something that he can never put his finger, he just stand there with her staring at her because each and every seconds with her is a special memory for him, a memory that he will cherish as long as he lives. He kept on thinking you might not be mine but maybe someday or in another life you will finally notice me and finally will love me not as a brotherly love but the love and attention I have in a romantic way. Their silence was cut up when Robert walk onto the room and speak “did you already pack you things?” he asked him, he raised his eyebrows ``not yet” Daniel answered back to Robert, for him Robert is his father figure, the way how he took care the two of them most especially him, this family never let him feel that he is not belong with them even though that they did not adopt him in papers for them he is one of their little family. “Let me help you” Christine told him and he immediately shook his head in a no she will say something when her father cut her, “I will be the one who will help him, you do not have to worry Christine, why don’t you go upstairs and help you mother to calm down because we all know that she is just pretending that she is okay with it when we all know that she is not” he told to her daughter in a strict tone and his hands were on his pocket. She looked down and said to her father in a low tone “yes father” she went upstairs and went to her mother to calm her down. Robert just looks at Daniel because he knows very well the reason why he is doing this. ”Are you just gonna stand there or are we gonna pack your stuff for your departure?” the two of them are walking towards Daniels room then Robert chuckle he then said to Daryl “I remember the time when the two of us is walking towards Christine room you were so little by then and you did not leave her even though we do not know you
