Someone usually winds up getting hurt -- Late Summer 2016

After saying goodbye to Ian, I did not really say much -- anything -- to my sister.  I walked into the house as it just started to rain.  I hear it start coming down on the rooftop as we closed the door.  How could I keep a secret like this away from my sister?  I ran a hand through my hair.  "We nee to go to a room where we won't be overheard," I said quietly.  I knew Dad was home an I had no idea where he was at the moment.

I pulled my brother into another room and closed the door quietly.  "Stan what's going on?  I'm a little worried about you," I said, touching his arm.  I swear if Malfoy did something to my brother, I was going to kick his ass.

I knew Sedona and Mum were close so I was not sure how Dona would react to this news.  "Sedona, Mum is having an affair," I said bluntly.  I had no idea any other way to tell her.

I leaned against the desk o fDad's that was in the study.  I was unsure what to think about what Stan told me.  "Are you positive?" I asked, not sure if I believed him.  Mum and Dad had an amazing relationship... a beautiful love story.  Through thick and thin they have been strong together.  Why would she do something like this?

I nodded at my sister.  "She was with Ian's dad," I informed her.  "He said he found out... it's been going on all summer.  She's been cheating on Dad."  I felt like throwing up telling Dona about all of this.  It made my stomach churn to be speaking this aloud.

I knew Constantine would not lie about any of this.  "what are we going to do?  Should we tell Dad?" I questioned.  I could not just not do something.  They woudl work it out, right?

I shook my head.  "I don't know.  I don't want to hurt Dad... I'd rather have Mum pay," I told my sister darkly.  Again, I never thought I would be this angry with my own mother.

Spoken like a true Slytherin.  I sighed, pushing hair away from my face.  "Let me talk to Mum about this.  Why don't we giveher a chance to tell Dad.  And if she doesn't, we have to.  They have to try to work this out," I said, trying to think of the best possible scenario.

I sighed.  "Fine.  She'll get a week.  Tell me how she reacts.  I doubt I'll be able to talk to her right now."  I shook my head.  "I'm going to sit on the porch and listen to the storm."  It was something that calmed me down since I lost my sight.  And it was actually one of the only times I could sort of see things.  I left the room and went outside.

I let Stan leave, wondering how I was goign to even approach our mother about this.  I sat down and put my face in my hands.  Tears started coming to my eyes.  I may end up talking to Leo about this... who else could I turn to besides my best mate?  What was I goign to do?

I had wanted to check on the kids, but before I opened the door I heard them talking.  I felt my blood start to boil.  Addison and Malfoy?  I went to the porch and sat there in my bloody wheelchair, brooding.  What was I going to do?  I needed to figure it out before I talked to anyone about it.  But I needed to talk to someone... but who?  It had to be my sister... she alway sseemed to keep me under control when I got angry.  Stan joined me on the porch, but we both stayed in silence, each in our own worlds.

I had been over at the Lupins and I had to come back home.  I closed my umbrella as I walked into the back room.  I saw that Sedona was nearly ready to go out the door that I just walked through.  "Dona, what's wrong?" I questioned, noticing that there was something wrong.  I had no idea what would make my sister look quite like that.

I did not want to break the news to my littlest brother.  He was only ten months or so younger than Constantine, but still.  I sighed.  I suppose there was no point in me keeping it from him.  I wanted him to hear it from one of us rather than through the grapevine.  I had no idea if Dorian Malfoy would keep his mouth shut or not.  "C'mere, Ryan," I said, taking his arm and looking around to make sure that Dad was not close by.  "Ryan, Mum and Dad are going to end up going through a rough time.  I'm sure they'll make it through it.. but Mum did something to hurt Dad," I explained slowly.

I stared at Sedona.  "Mum hurt Dad?  What?  What are you going on about?"  I asked.  Alright, I had been chilling with Charlie and Mere, but not for that long.  What on earth did I miss?  I had no clue what was going on.  I did not like this drama I was getting from my sister.

I knew that this would only make Ryan hate our parents even more.  According to Nana, Dad had acted the same way with her and Papa when he was growing up.  I guess it makes sense that Dad has to deal wtih a child just like him.  "Ryan, Mum cheated on Dad.  Now, keep it a secret for a little while, okay?  We've decided to let Mum have a chance to come clean with Dad first.  You can't tell anyone -- that includes the Lupins.  It's not for us to go around blabbing about, okay?" I said, giving him a pointed look.  Iknew his first thing to do when getting big news that woudl upset him he would go to the Lupins.  I love them all so much -- but this was something that was for Mum and Dad to tell people or not to tell people.
