âYouâre right.â Tears roll down my cheeks but I donât bother wiping them away since no one can see me breaking down, feeling a little bit better while talking to you.
âIâm sorry again for waking you up, hopefully I didnât disturb anyone else by calling at this time of night. If you need anything for the babies or yourself you can call me, Iâll be there.â
âi donât need anything from you. iâm doing well on my own.â i hiss, ignoring your tears before catching myselfâ getting up to check on the kids when i hear them stirring. sakura seems wide awake and i pick her up before she can disturb her siblings.
âyour...your mom has the kids on wednesdays if youâd like to see them but, only go if youâre planning on staying in their lives. they donât need you to leave them a second time.â
