Chapter 4 - HOW TO BUILD PEACE? 2

"I told you he's just no one!" Merry Evelyn mother said

"How can I trust you when you already cheat on me once! You even confess to me that John, John is not my son! Now tell me how to trust the likes of you?" Luke Evelyn father responds,

"I don't want to talk to you right now," Evelyn's mother complains,

"Okay, fine! That's what you always do, run away! Go!" Evelyn father shout in a rage,

"I am not running away!" Evelyn mother reply raising her voice,

"Oh, you're not? Then how'd you call your attitude right now?" Luke mention, mocking his wife.

Evelyn's mother works as a professional model and actress while his father works as a businessman, her brother is an Idol while she is a young artist.

"Whoa! what is going on here?" Evelyn's older brother John arrives.

"Oh, and where do you think you're going, young lady?" John calls upon seeing Evelyn, who rushed away, holding Barry to go back to her room.

"Why are you out of your room? I told you when I am at home, don't come out of your room. You are ugly and fat. I can't believe you're my daughter," Merry emphasizes, looking down at her daughter. John looks at his mother, irritated.

"Eve... go back to your room for now. I'd be there in a minute, okay?" John instructed her sister, smiling, then Evelyn nod with a fake smile.

"I'm sorry, mother..." Evelyn responded, crying, and ran back inside her room, John deep sigh.

"Mother, please,"

"How dare you speak to my daughter like that!" Luke shout in anger,

*deep sigh*

'Ahh... I am losing time because of this,' John thought, tired and went after his sister's room.

"I need to relax. I'm staying at the hotel tonight," Merry said, leaving his husband alone.

"You! Yah! I'm still talking!" Luke had enough and went outside the house to calm himself down.

"Meow?"

Barry calls upon Evelyn, who lay down on her bed crying,

"*sobs* I'm sorry..." Evelyn apologized, then Barry went close to her and also lay down beside her. Evelyn then hugged Barry close as she cried,

Then someone knocks on the door,

"Yes, come in,"

"Eve..." John looks at his sister, who wears a sad expression as tears flow to her face. Eve raises her head and looks at him crying, then shoves back her face to her pillow. John lay down beside his sister's bed.

"Eve... don't worry about what mother said, okay? She is just stress," John comforting her. Evelyn nods on her pillow, john smile and hugs down his sister.

"I'm sorry I can't stay long. I need to come back to the studio quickly. We still have rehearsal. I just went home to get some of my stuff to use, "Sleep well, little sis, okay?" John said and kissed his sister's head and stood up, leaving Evelyn's room.

"Meow?" Barry call,

"Is okay, Barry I am fine *sniff*," Evelyn responds and meets slumber with tears in her eyes.

"EB," Isa calls,

"Yes?"

"How can people get hurt?"

"Oh, what's this? Why do you ask me about it?"

"I'm curious, do you think if we people turn to iron, do we live?"

"No," EB replies,

"Why so?"

"Because even if we turn into one, we still get hurt not realizing it,"

"You have a point. I wonder how many people get hurt and crying right now,"

"Many…"

"Yeah... I figure it too." Isa and EB look at each other's smiling,

"EB?"

"Hm?"

"Do you think someday I could touch the stars up there?"

"Of course, that day will come soon, don't you remember?"

"Yeah... I forgot,"

"What day is it today?"

"October 8,"

"Oh, my birthday is coming up!" Isa sit up excited,

"Yeah...you will turn 21,"

"Oh yeah, I'm not a young girl anymore then,"

"Says who?" EB stand up and walk,

"Hey!" Isa run after EB,

"What do you want for your birthday?"

"Hmm…" Isa thinks it over,

"Well, what is it?"

"Oh, I need nothing,"

"Sure?"

"Yes, I just want you to stay with me forever,"

"That I can do," EB and Isa laugh,

"Ah... this feels good,"

"Yeah," EB smiles at Isa while they continue walking, holding hands.
