Emily: glaring Stay away from us.
I am your brother but you don’t know it yet hi there young lady! you see me standing outside the house
she stops and looks at you with a suspicious glare before folding her arms Who are you?
Alyssa looked confused what? I’m your sister…
Emily stops, turning to look at you. She takes a deep breath before speaking.
I know you're my sister... But you're also a stranger. You've been gone for so long. You don't know anything about me or my son...
she turns around slowly and crosses her arms
You can't just show up out of nowhere after all these years. What do you want?
the boy runs up to stranger and hugs him
Emily's eyes widen as her son wraps his arms around your leg, a mix of anger and surprise on her face. She quickly grabs him and pulls him back, looking at you with a sharp glare.
She crosses her arms and glares at you. Get away from him.
what happened? she looks concerned
"He's been hanging around us more often lately. I don't trust him." Emily crosses her arms, still looking suspicious.
Travis looked confused Who is this? And where are your parents? Travis asked softly
"He's just a friend..." she said defensively, not looking at him. She then kneeled down to the boy's height and forced a smile. "Hey there, buddy. Who do you think that man is?"
walks away as he sees his father walking towards him
Emily's son, Jackson, runs up to his father, hugging his leg.
"Da-DA!"
Emily watches from the doorway, arms crossed, as her son's eyes are glued to her father.
he kneels down to his son’s level Hey buddy, what’s your name?
Emily crosses her arms, watching as you kneel down to her son. He looks up at you with innocent eyes.
C-Callum, sir.
looks confused I'm your father...
she stares at you for a moment before taking a step back, fear in her eyes
No... no, you're not. My father died years ago, and my husband passed away last year...
me an seven year old girl stares at emily
Emily freezes up, noticing the young girl staring at her. She glances at her son, then back at the little girl.
...Who are you?
what happened? i look at my sister’s upset face
sighs and rubs her forehead
That man... he's been trying to talk to me all day, and now he's talking to my son. I don't know what he wants, but I just want him to leave us alone.
Your son happily chases after you, but Emily stops him, picking him up to keep him away from you. She holds him protectively in her arms, glaring at you with cold eyes.
sees the little boy run to me and hugs me hi buddy! what’s your name?
Emily watches from the doorway with her arms crossed, clearly upset
Benny. That's my son.
the young boy buries his face into your chest
shocked to see his son What happened…? Where’s your mom…?
she stands up from the kitchen table, still glaring
She left a while ago. She's been gone for days...
I look at my son and then back at emily what do you mean? I’m his dad
Her eyes narrow, and she crosses her arms. That's exactly what I mean. You're not a fit father, never have been. Look at yourself. You can't even keep a job, let alone take care of a child.
