"Yeah I'm just getting him settled." She said. She made sure he couldn't get hurt before joining then in the kitchen.

She joined them, smiling. She sat at the table.
He stood to go pour himself some coffee.
"Are you going to take Am to school?" She asked
"Yeah," he smiled as he ate. "But my shift doesn't end until 5 so can you pick her up?" He asked.
He smiled and stood, "I'm going to go get the mail while she finishes up," he said.
He went out and got their male. He shifted through the envelopes and took a seat.
One letter was adressed to him and signed by Chelsea.
He frowned when he saw it. He set the envelope to the side and opened the one from her.
Elian, You're going to hate me for finding out this way, but I didn't want to barge in on you and your family. Also, I just became so physically ill I couldn't...I couldn't see you with the way I looked. By the time you read this, I would have gotten my father to mail this to prior to my death.
I am so deeply sorry, Elian, for how I've treated you while we were together. I was mentally sick and the only way I could deal was to numb myself. I truly did love you with all of my heart. I didn't deserve you. I didn't deserve Amelia either. There so much that I wish I could have changed, but I already fucked up my life too much to fix it.
I know you're probably worried about the heart disease I had. My father had it, and it's suppose to be hereditary in males only. I guess the drugs I did clicked it into place. Attached to this letter is every single penny I saved up for Amelia on whatever you want to use it for; clothes, books, health or college fund, so about 13,000 dollars.
I love you Elian. I wish you and your beautiful family the best.
Always, Chelsea Maria White.
Elian blinked in shock. He stood up without saying anything. He walked outside and called Chelsea on the number she'd given him before.
It went straight to voicemail. "Hi this is Chelsea.couldnt pick up. Leave a message!"
"Chels, Stop fucking around, okay? I got your letter in the mail. You can't... you can't be gone... Amelia needs you. You can't just be gone," he said into the phone. "Just call me, please."
"Elian." Natalia poked her head into the hall. "Amelia has to- what's wrong?" She approached him.
Elian put his phone in his pocket and handed her the envelope. "Can you get her to school, please? I'm going to head out," and without waiting for an answer, he turned to leave.
She took the letter but didn't look at it. "Elian. Wait." She touched his arm.,
"What's wrong." She asked gently, stepping closer to him.
He looked back towards the dining room to make sure Amelia couldn't hear them. "It's... Chelsea." He said.
"What about her?" She asked. She then opened the letter, skim-reading it. "Oh no." She breathed. "Oh Elian im so sorry". She hugged him gently.
He nodded quietly, "just take Amy to school, okay?" He asked.
She stepped back, frowning. "Of course." She touched his chest. "Call me okay?"
He nodded and turned around. He walked to his car and got in before driving away.
She watched from the doorway, frowning.
He went to the shop and initially had been going to work but then he parked and got down. He started to wander around until he found a bar. He went in and sat down, just wanting to sit alone.
Natalia sighed and got Amelia ready for school, and put Alexei in his car seat.
He sat there for a long time before the bartender asked him if he wanted to drink. He started to say no but then changed his mind and got a shot of tequila. He stared at it for a long time before he asked, "does Dan still come here?" He asked.
"Dan?" She asked, cleaning a glass. Then nodded. "Yes but not as often." She said.
"Do you know where he goes?" He asked.
"This early on the morning? Bed." She snickeredz
He shrugged and went into the back.
Natalia took Amelia to school with Alexei, then got some groceries.
Elian somehow convinced himself that he'd only have that one drink and no one had to know. It was only once so no one would get hurt. One drink turned to two and two turned to five and before he knew it, he was completely wasted, having convinced himself that it was only that one day. He was gone the entire day, so he didn't take his meds, either.
Natalia tried calling him. Tenth time around, she started to cry. "Where the fuck are you?!"
He spent the entire day at that bar and then the bartender got his phone and called her because they were closing. He hadn't been able to find Dan, thankfully. "Hello?" The bartender said.
"Elian? Who is this?" She asked frantically.
"Hi, I'm the bartender at Black Moon," he said. "Uh, we're closing and the guy has you as an emergency contact. He wont leave," he said.
She sighed deeply. "He's drinking again?" Her voice brokex
"You can say that again," he mumbled. "He's totally smashed."
