Always Mine {Book 3}| Completed

Chapter 9

Chapter Nine

     I parked the car off on the side of the road, once I felt we had the time to talk. After the argument we had earlier, I feel really guilty about it. And I think I do need to tell Emma about her parents affair. And I think she does deserve to know. I'm not sure if I should tell her about Noah being in a mental hospital either. Maybe I should keep that to myself and not tell her. But I do need to tell her about her parents affair.

    When I had turned the car off. We were in an empty parking lot. I knew where we were. We drove for hours to my old childhood town. And I'm actually excited to show her this place. Emma looked for her surroundings, but nothing was familiar to her.

San Diego always had a beautiful touch to it. I used to come here with my dad when I was like nine. And we used to talk. And I had taken Gina here once or twice back when I was fifteen. And I want Emma to see this place. I showed Emma Maya St. Jude's house. But now this place, was in fact my hideout. I would read here. Sometimes talk to myself. Especially after my dad died. I had nothing else. Everyday after school I would come here because I needed to be alone. Mom was too busy drinking at home after work to realize I was out for hours. Especially on the weekends. No, I was out with a few older kids and I would smoke weed and drink underage. I was twelve then.

   I had every intention of actually taking her here to this meadow. I prefer this at night, because it's absolutely beautiful. Especially with the stars being out in the sky. And I actually loved every part of this place. And taking Emma here actually is important to me, hoping she won't hate that I have brought her here.

    "We had drove for hours. Where are we?" Emma had asked, being completely polite about it, and she had just looked around, very confused.

   I removed my hands from the steering wheel. And I just thought about telling her about this place. It's not something she could hate. And I thought about being here to tell her about her father. After all, she practically knows that there is something going on. I won't be subtle about this.

   "It's just a place I want to show you. I should've brought you here a long time ago." I said.

Unbuckling herself she looked me straight in the face and she wanted to know more about this place I could tell.

"Okay. What is it then?" She asked with curiosity.

I barely said anything except hold my hand out for her to take. "Let me just show you."

We had gotten out of the car and we walked out of the parking lot and walked between the open fence and there was the field of a meadow filled with purple lavenders. Emma had gasped, and she covered her mouth being overly excited to see the pretty lavenders all over in the grass. In spite of it being so late, we had walked right into the middle of the field that felt the most gigantic that it is.

"It is so beautiful," she sighed, and she gazed up at the night sky full of flowers.

     I'm sure she didn't know what to think about this place. I never had brought anyone here like this. At night especially. Like I said, I only brought Gina out here once. And that was before we dated. So I guess she doesn't count. But here I am, with Emma, and I'm bringing her with me to this meadow full of the beautiful lavenders. We walk through it, and I only imagine what is going through her mind right about now. I stare at the grass. We easily stop at a good area in the middle of the meadow of the grass and the purple lavenders. I removed my jacket, throwing it to the ground and we both sit down on the grass. And I take my jacket just lying it beside me on the ground. And I take a long glance at the stars that are burning down at me. The stars were so bright right now as I could tell. And I was almost speechless. More than I ever have been.
