A Thousand Years ↠ Sequel to My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 27 - Future

Brianna's POV

"So, it started a few weeks ago. I came home after I took Luke to my parent's house. I put him in his crib for his afternoon nap when I turned around and Brad was standing in the doorway."

"And you guys got into some arguement and he hit you."

"Yeah, hit me so hard I fell to the floor and hit my head against the floor, knocking me out. I woke up I think like an hour later and Luke was gone. I began to run around the house yelling and screaming in case Brad took him elsewhere in the house. They weren't there obviously so I called the police and my family."

"So you called Mitch?" I question and Amber nods.

"Yeah. My parents did as well. Mitch left as soon as he could and trust me when I say this, but he was a wreck when he came back to Montreal. I don't think him coming here was going to help either one of us. He didn't call you because of the threat of danger he could put you, himself, and the kids in."

"I know all of this." I look at Amber. "Just tell me how you managed to get into my room before Brad could kill me."

"I was in a worse state than Mitch was. I mean, I had lost my son and was going through so much, so Mitch had told me he wanted me to fly to LA to check on you guys and to also get me away from Montreal to stop thinking about it. Of course even on the flight over here I was still worried sick about my whole family. I drove over to the LA house to see the door wide open. I became terrified, and I grabbed the little gun I had in my bag before walking in-"

'Why the hell did you get a gun?"

"To protect myself. It wasn't illegal or anything I have it legally but that's besides the point. I heard an altercation upstairs and heard Brad's voice and I peeked my head around the corner to see his gun raised at you and...yeah, you know the rest."

"Damn...that's insane."

"Yeah I didn't expect that to come about when I came here."

"How is Brad? You didn't..." I trail off and Amber gives me a confused look.

"What?"

"Did you mean to kill him?"

"No!" She yells and shakes her head. "I only shot him once in the chest, and if he dies then that's it. If he pushes through then he goes to prison. Either way, we won't see him ever again." Amber stands up and grabs her bag before throwing it over her shoulder. "I gotta get going. I need to go down to the station and testify. I'll see you soon."

"Okay bye." I smile and she turns to go towards the door.

I sigh once she leaves and the curtain seperating me and the person next to me is shifted and I look over and laugh.

"Adam!" I yell "Thank god you are awake...how convient I am in a hospital room with you."

"Hey, at least you're with me and not with some dude who is a creep."

"Who said you weren't a creep?"

"Oh, well my feelings are hurt."

"I'm kidding Adam." I laugh. "How are you?"

"I'm getting out in a few days. How's your leg?"

"It hurts. A lot."

"Yeah, imagine that in the stomach. The doctors say I'm very lucky to be alive."

"Shit Adam...I'm so sor-"

"It's not your fault." Adam cuts me off. "Now look, I know you guys came here because of Em and Jerome's wedding but listen to me when I tell you this. Never come back. I don't care what the circumstances are. Don't. Come. Back. Here." He demands.

"Why? Why are you so demanding about it?"

"Look at it Brianna. Every time we all come together in that damn house we always end up in some sort of trouble. We broke up Team Crafted when we were all there, the fights, and now we both got shot. What if Amber wasn't in that door? You'd be dead. What if I was standing a foot closer towards the window? I'd be dead. So what if he all go back there and next time it's Bentley or Aubree? So when I say don't look back at Los Angeles, do it. Cherish each memory that's good in that house and keep moving forward. Grow your family bigger, stronger and love them like you've never loved in your life. Of course come and visit Faith and I in Seattle and the rest of the crew in their place of residence, but as I said and I'll say it again. Never go back to the TC house. Promise me you'll do that."

I nod. "The advice you gave me to leave saved Mitch and I's marriage...I gotta listen to you on this so I promise that I won't go back. As soon as I get out, which shouldn't be long, I am grabbing my kids and leaving. I promise."

Adam smiles. "Good. Trust me you'll be out in no time."

"Thanks Adam."

"Also, do you want to know the gender of your baby?"

I chuckle. "You aren't a doctor Adam, but if you know then tell me."

"That's most definately true, but once I got shot I saw something."

"A light?"

"No, the future."

"The future? How?"

"I honestly don't know, but it came true. I know that for a fact."

"How?"

"I saw Faith and I. We had two kids around us, both girls. One looked a bit older so they weren't twins but Faith came by the hospital today to see you, but you were asleep. She came and saw me too, and told me that she's pregnant. I had a heart attack. I also saw you and Mitch with not just three kids but four. Now don't panic cause you aren't having another set of twins but you are having a boy this time. I'll keep the future a secret though." He smiles and I smile back.

"Yeah right, four kids? I already have my hands full with two, now having three."

"It's what the future has in store for you. Keep moving forward Bri, and the future will be great for both you and Mitch." Adam smiles as he closes his eyes. "I'm going to sleep, goodnight Brianna."

"Night Adam." I lay back and look down at my baby bump.

"Now to figure out boy names..."
