52 Stuck between a rock and a hard place

She ended her statement looking anywhere but at her father.

Ray felt guilt punch him in the chest by what his little girl just said, it's like, she's reminding him of their times in the past. He remembered she and Aria cried when they found out that they were moving to Hamilton county,they were leaving all their friends and their school coming to a distant place.

He was stuck between a rock and a hard place,some part of him was guilty for leaving his children, while some part of him couldn't accept the fact that he will live without Judy.

"Look at me Autumn", he said almost pleading with his daughter " I love you and your siblings from my heart,I will always be here if you guys ever need me,but I can't live without Judy,I want you to understand it, please."

"What about mom,you loved her before right? Can't you try loving her again? She did absolutely nothing wrong for you to leave her, she'd always loved you and out you first,she believed in you even if the entire world didn't..... don't leave us..... please daddy." She wiped the tears off her face with the back of her palm,her eyes were now red and itchy from crying.
