A father and his sons.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Vee.. hey.. hold on.."

Stace called out to her as she kept walking down the corridor.

"Just let me be Dad…"

She said walking on.

He heaved a sigh and then swiftly got in front of her. 

"We need to talk."

He told her.

"There isn't anything to talk about Dad. I don't matter. Never have, never will. Too much hypocrisy going on around here."

She said, making a move to walk out but he held on to her by the arm.

"You do matter. A lot.. your mother and I, you are the center of our world.."

He said to her softly.

"I don't think so." She said, 

"I get that you're angry. I get that all of this is getting to you but for all it's worth, we will never stop loving you, never forget that."

He told her as he peered in her eyes.

A loud noise caught their attention.

"What was that?"
