"Please say something!" Her words actually made him think, he honestly didn't know what to say.
She stood and started pacing, his eyes followed and he started to get dizzy watching her. His mind went back to the question she skipped over earlier and he started to talk. "I don't know when my father left. Or even why, but it left us in hard times." His eyes were on her, and everything about him was sincere as he told his story for the first time to anyone. "Mom, she did pretty well, but after a while... it, it took a toll. She was always tired and none of us knew why." He paused and took a breath.
"She lost her job when i was ten. We found out why she was tired all of the time a month later. She was very ill, cancer. She managed to work when she felt okay, and i tried to help. Still, we only barely had enough. I started stealing groceries when times got bad. Which was often. I've even been in juvie a few times." It seemed odd now, him thinking the first time on this situation.
"As time whent on, i gat jobs and lost them. It seemed i was doomed to a life of petty crime. One day, i joined up with a few people. We knocked over a few liquer stores in a week then tried to rob a bank. I got away. I went legit compleatly after my mother passed. I tried my best to take care of my brother, but I was killed by a former friend two days after i turned nineteen." He wiped a tear from his eye.
"I got to heaven, well, i thought it was heaven. I was told that i had an option. See, i never repented when i was alive. i never did anything too bad, so I could take my second chance. the next day, you were..." he had to think of the word, he honestly didn't know what to say. "... concieved. i wastched over your mother untill i could watch over you directly." He smiled. "All this time, all these years. I've been so concerned about your well being, I never really paid attention to you." A feeling of shame came over him as he finished this sentence. "I think i need to make up for that mistake." He said standing to join her. "Tell me about you?"
