#Chapter8

I entered the house to hear yelling from upstairs

Axel was sitting on the sofa, Valerie in his lap as she held back her tears

/"It's okay Val, its nothing/" Axel said trying to soothe her Before he muttered something I couldn't hear

/"Hi/" I whispered as Axel looked up his eyes meeting my worried- confused ones

/"I don't think it's the right time for you to be here, please leave/" Axel said with no emotion

I ignored his looks and put all my focus on the child on his lap

/"Val baby, come here/" I said taking her from Axel's lap slowly and placing her into my lap

Poor kid, she's witnessing her parents fighting but why are they?

/"It's okay Val, I'm here baby/" I said rubbing my palm against her back softly

/"Mommy Daddy fighting/" she said letting a tear slip her eye

*heart shattering*

/"They're not baby, I don't think they are, you don't have to worry about it/" I said trying to convince her
