The two of us(M.R.)

Together

A couple months later

Alora's Pov:

I turned eighteen a few days after Pea's death. I didn't really want to celebrate.

Mattheo had turn eighteen in the period of time that I was gone. Since we didn't spend it together I made him a cake and got a couple gifts.

Mattheo moved into the manor with me. A light could be seen in there again. I knew pea would be happy I just wish she could see it herself. I've been smiling and laughing more.

Xander was around a lot more with ruth. I was so glad to see them all together.

I haven't cried as much but there are times where I do. Just thinking about pea brings tears to my eyes.

She was there for me when no one else was and now she's gone because of me. I truly believed that her death was my fault that her blood was on my hands. Mattheo has tried multiple times to convince me otherwise but it's true. She's dead because of me.

I wished for her to be alive to see me smiling. I wished she could be here with me.

"Alora?My love? Hello?"

"Oh sorry theo I didn't hear you walk in."

"That's alright love. Are you feeling okay?"

"Yah love i'm fine."

"Okay. Well xander sent a letter. He asked if him and ruth can join us for dinner. I said yes, is that alright?"

"Oh yes that's perfect."

"Okay well I am going to grab some stuff before they get here."

"okay"

Mattheo walked out of my office and I spaced out again. Mattheo has been sneaking away a lot. He would always he was gonna get "stuff" but never came back with anything.

It's stupid to worry about this but I just can't help myself after everything.

I went into the kitchen and began to start on dinner.

Hours later.

I was done with dinner and was now setting up the table when the doorbell rang. I put down the last plate and went to get the door.

"Hey lora."

"Xander it's so good to see you." I pulled him onto a hug but quickly pushed him back when I saw baby greer.

"Baby greer!"

She jumped into my arms and I hugged her so tight I thought she couldn't breathe.

"I missed you so much alo."

"You have no idea how much I missed you Ruth."

"Wow thanks for my long hug."

"Oh shut it xander."

He laughed and we walked into the dinning room. I pushed all the bad thoughts about mattheo and I talked with xander and ruth while we waited.

Mattheo's Pov:

I felt really bad about me always sneaking off but if alora found out what I was doing she would kill me.

I walked into the building and began searching. I did this almost everyday for two months. I spent an hour there then started to head back to have dinner with alora and xander.

When I got there they were in the dinning room talking. They all stood up and greeted me. Alora kissed my cheek and sat back down, xander gave me a hand shack and a hug and ruth hugged my waist.

We all sat down and alora went to get dinner. I tried to get up and help her but she refused and walking into the kitchen by herself.

"Hey Ruth can you see if lora needs help?" I asked her kindly so I can speak with xander. She nodded her head and ran into the kitchen.

"Mate I need to tell you something and you have to promise not to tell Alora, okay?" He nodded his head and I told him everything.

"Man she was worried something bad was going on but it was just you looking for an en-" my hand covered his mouth as alora and ruth were walking out.

"shut it mate"

Alora's Pov:

I set the food onto the table and the boys began to start eating.

We ate, talked and laughed. I really enjoyed this time that we were spending together.

After a couple of hours it was time for xander and ruth to leave. We all said our goodbyes and now it was just me and mattheo.

"Alora you know I love you more than anything right?"

I hesitated but spoke, "yes I know"

I picked up the plates and put them into the kitchen, when I walked out my whole world stopped.

There he was, down on one knee with a ring in his hand.

"Alora Bri Rosewood will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?"

I stood there with my hand in his, tears rolling down my cheek. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love him.

"Yes, a thousand times yes. I can't imagine growing old with anyone else, nor do I want to."

He got up from the floor and pulled me into an embrace. I loved him and he loved me.
