The Divine Legacy: TDL- 7.18

The Divine Legacy- 7.18

It was a slow morning at the Divine house. Both boys had gone to bed knowing that their dad wasn't home, but not knowing why. Of course, they both had their guesses.

Despite Apollo not being there and Sabrina not answering their questions, the boys went to school. Justin, as usual, wasn't focused, focusing on secretly passing notes to girls that said "Do you like me" with a place to check yes and a place to check no. He didn't really think about it too much.

Derrick, on the other hand, couldn't focus at all. He always paid attention, but today his mind was somewhere else. He'd heard things, he'd seen things, but where was his dad?

Sabrina: "I'm taking the day off."

But you need money!

Sabrina: "I also need to figure out why May wants me to go to the hospital."

May wants you to go to the hospital.

Sabrina: "Yes, she says it's the easiest way."

The easiest way?

Sabrina: "You probably have a better idea of what that means that I do."

So Sabrina went to the hospital and Apollo was standing outside. As soon as she got out of the taxi, he approached her.

Apollo: "This is all your fault!"

Sabrina: "What?"

Apollo: "Yes, your fault. If you'd never upset May then I would've never been sent her and Shelby would be okay."

Sabrina: "Shelby's your other wife, right?"

Apollo: "Yeah... May disowned her."

Sabrina: "Wait... May disowned you too!"

Apollo: "It's not obvious?"

Sabrina: "Now it is!" -smiles- "The wings change a lot, you know."

Apollo: "Forget the wings! Sabrina, I'm not doing this anymore."

Sabrina: "Doing what...?"

Apollo: "May's freaking legacy. As soon as Shelby's okay, I'm leaving and I'm never coming back."

Sabrina: "What..."!

Apollo: "I'm done! Okay? May no longer owns me. I'm free to leave you, and that's what I'm doing."

Sabrina: "What about Justin and Derrick?"

Apollo: "I'm done with them too. It's not like they liked me much anyway."

Sabrina: "So you're just gonna leave?"

Apollo: "Yes. Tell them whatever you want, I don't care."

Sabrina: -grinds teeth- "You know what?"

Apollo: "What?"

Sabrina: "I hope Shelby dies."

Apollo opened his mouth to respond, but then heard a familiar voice behind him.

Shelby: "Apollo?"

Sabrina glared past Apollo and at her. What did she have that she didn't. She looked like an alien. Why did Apollo like her more than Sabrina?

Sabrina turned and walked away as the two of them embraced. He'd already forgotten all about her. Holding back tears, she called a taxi and rode home. The boys would be out of school by now.
