Carrol Sullivan was the only baby girl in the family of 10. Born as one of the eight children to Nancy and Clifford Hawkins, she lived a childhood where she was the center of everyone’s attention. Among all her siblings she was pampered the most. In a large family, Carrol has looked at her father as her superhero. She shared the strongest bond with him. Her dad was her best friend and her all-time savior who could bring her princess out of any trouble big or small. Carrol assumed that she knew everything about her dad but all that glitters is not gold and the girl wasn’t aware of the biggest secret her father had been hiding from everyone. A secret that once unraveled will affect the Hawkins family and of course a father and daughter’s bond.
Normal Childhood
Carrol Sullivan’s family kept the girl far from all the negative vibes of the world. Her home was the best place for her where everyone was interested in knowing how her day at school went. She was the type of girl, nobody messes up with thanks to her seven brothers. The family looked like every other big family. Carrol’s parents used to spend a hectic day where they worked at the office, did home chores, and spend time with their children. The Hawkins children had a normal childhood until one day when one secret brought this large and happy family into tears.
Doubtful Behaviour
Carrol has always been responsible and understandable towards everyone in her family. She could tell who is stressed, who is overjoyed, and who is hiding something. At times, she was confused after seeing her dad’s strange behavior. Out of the blues for no obvious reasons he used to feel low. Carrol was a cheerful girl who wanted to keep everyone close to her happy. Hence, she tried the same with her dad but it never worked. It felt like something was eating him from inside. Those were the times when he preferred staying away from his family.
Locked-Up
Locked up in his room, nobody knew what was the reason behind such behavior of a guy who was always known for his jolly nature. His friends and family never tried to poke him for his weird nature. All of us go through ups and downs, some of which we can only share with ourselves. Being the closest to his dad, Carrol was pretty sure that he wasn’t a type of man who’ll keep secrets from her. She tried enormous times to cheer him up and to know what’s bothering him. The poor little girl’s attempts went waste every single time.
Loving It
After seeing her father’s dual behavior also Carrol lived an ordinary childhood but her school life was extraordinary. Her teachers were impressed by her as she was among the brilliant students and eager to take part in all the activities. She was a mingler and had a lot of friends because of her kind and humorous nature. However, there was something unusual with one girl at her school.
A Specific Friend
This girl always gave Carrol mysterious vibes. At first, she assumed that her introvert personality could be a reason. She didn’t hang out with anyone but Carrol was finally able to know her better and be her first friend. In no time they became good friends who used to study together in the school library. There was always something about this girl that made Carrol feel comfortable. But they never planned to meet outside the school and their friendship stayed within the school walls.
All Perfect?
Apart from her father’s periodic disturbing behavior, everything was perfect in Carrol’s life. Too many friends in school and too many siblings at home, she was always giving someone or the other company. Everything was on the right track until the shocking discovery was made by Carrol that broke the perceptions about her family especially her father.
