Chapter 31 Alex

"Alex"
"Dad.. " by his expression he sat next to me without saying a word
"Alex are you okay? Your friend rung your mother"
"I'm okay sore.. few bruises a broken rib"
"...Hmmm... so Is it true?"
"True?"
"What he told your mother?"
"Dad I don't need you to believe me... you can see it for yourself... it is up to you if you believe it or not."

".....I'm sorry"
"It's fine... I'm sore but safe. Lonan had been great"
"We need to fix things"
"Dad we don't we fine.. but you have to understand that Richard isn't part of my life anymore.... And I don't want him part of yours either... he's done more than you could imagine and I just want to forget it"

"Okay I understand. This Lonan friend is he okay"

"Dad.." I tried to stop laughing as it hurt too much

"What?"
"Dad.. can I have a hug please" I watched him just lift up his arm like he did when I was a kid.

"Lonan is amazing dad. if he hadn't come when he did o dunno where I would be now"

"Don't say that"

"It's true dad... I don't remember much but all I do remember is Lonan carrying me.. "

"Are you just friends?"

"Guess so! He's changed everything for me dad. the way I look at people and things. life.. family"

"Your mother said same about me she said I changed her life and look where we are now! 35 years married."

"And happy right?"

"Always your mother is an amazing g women and she may think I changed her life but really she saved me... she changed my life... in them days there was pressure to marry into a wealthy family & I was meant too but I didn't love her... your mother spoke me as she does with wise words and it changed everything for me.. She gave me something to live for to love"

"I didn't know that"

"Your mother likes to think I saved her so let's leave it at that... I only ever want you to be happy"

"I will be.."

"That Lonan seems alright"

"Dad he's the best... I trust him"

"Well tell him..."

"I will."
