If I Could Reach You (Aismey Book 2)

4- Here comes a thought

My heart sank, my hands were shaking, my vision was blurry and my mind was racing.

My... father?

"W-what about h-him?"

"He was just in a car crash, case of drunk driving and he hit several other cars... he died yesterday at 8pm"

So. Old man is dead.

"And that concerns me, why?"

"Rain you were his child... He left something in his will for you, at least that's what the lawyer said on the phone with us, sense we were your legal Guardians for 3 years of your life"

I was trying to process everything Phil had just said, Christen took my hand and sat me down next to her on the couch, Phil on my other side.

"So, do they need me to go back to the UK so settle his will?"

"No not exactly. You can talk to the lawyer and your moth-"

"Don't. That hits memories I don't want to uncover, she's less of a mom then you are Chisten. Now you were saying?"

Christen gave a small smile, understanding not to mention her name or my relationship with that woman.

"You can talk to them over a zoom call tomorrow"

I nodded and told Mumza and Dadza that I was going to get ready for bed sense it was getting later. They gave me hugs Goodnight and went to their room.

I sat on my bed and cried, I cried for what felt like forever and my eyes were starting to hurt...

"Knock knock, I've got a little something"

It was Phil, with a box that had my name on it.

"Is that... The box from Techno?"

Phil nodded and sat himself and the box down on my bed, then slid it over to me.

"Not even I know what's inside, if you want me to go just let me know"

"N-no I want you to stay, I'm sure he'd be ok with it if we opened it together as a family"

Phil nodded, I could see a small tear roll down his cheek but he quickly wiped it away.

I opened the box very carefully, the 1st thing I saw was a note with "blood sibling" written on it, the contents of the box were covered in tissue paper... He knew I hated spoilers when It comes to gifts.

I opened the letter, it was handwritten and had the date he wrote it on; June 25th, just a few days before he left.

Dear Raina, by the time you read this I'll probably be dead, and not a Minecraft death but a real one.
I know you don't want me to go, a lot of people don't and believe me I wish I didn't have to but my body hates me so much.

Its telling me that there is I day where technoblade must die and I've started to accept it.

I want you to know that you'll always be my little sibling and Ill always take care of you, even if It has to be from hell because we all know that's where I'm going!

I need you to take care of Phil and Ranboo, they both need your help.

In this box there's a few things I've never shown anyone, not even Father-blade or Phil. Keep them safe

Love you dearly

-Alex... Or Big brother

I was in tears by the end of his letter, I had read it in my head so Phil didn't know what Alex had said in the letter, he was currently consoling me.

I got it together and opened the rest of the gift. The first thing was a small wrapped package probably the size of a book. I opened it up to reveal a journal of sorts, then I open the journal and looked at the 1st page.

"Phil... Its all of his ideas on videos and lore! His technoblade dream smp character and all of his notes!"

"Holy shit Rain that's awesome! What else is in there?"

The next thing was a bit better and more squishy, I opened it to reveal a crew neck cardigan.

"PHIL ITS UNRELEASED TECHNO MERCH THAT WE NEVER GOT TO RELEASE"

Phil's smile was so wide he was so happy at how happy I was. The cardigan had a red silhouette of art that I had made of techno and I's dsmp characters. On the sleeve in red was the words "Blood Siblings"

"That's the best piece of merch to ever exist"

"Thank you Phil! Shall we open the rest up?"

"We shall"

I continued to open the rest; there was a pen that went with his journal, a list of songs that reminded him of everyone, some loose character sheets and a few trinkets like a crown and sword charm and a shit ton of random pig stickers, there was one thing that was at the very bottom of the box.

"Oh Phil, it's matching necklaces; a sun and a moon like the joke techno and I used to make!"

"You're right, you guys were always opposites but so similar; a sun and a moon"

I put the moon necklace on and I wrapped the sun around my wrist for techno.

"This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much Phil"

"Of course, he wanted you to have the box... Now you should head to bed we have 3 more days till the con, why dont you and Christen go out tomorrow after your call?"

"Yeah!"

Phil gave me a hug goodnight and went back into his hotel room. I put all of my stuff from Techno, back in the box and good ready for bed.

I ended up wearing the necklaces the whole day and during the zoom call aswell, I needed him there with me.

And if there's one thing I know

It's that

Technoblade will always be there when you need him

You just need to know where to look and how to find him

But he's always there.

Always.
