Memory Lost

Memory Lost Chapter 23

Rose's P.O.V.

We got up off the couch, went outside to Ryan's car and we all got in. Ryan drives off and not even five minutes later, we arrived at the park. We all got out and we began walking when I see somebody. I noticed that the person was walking towards us...and that's when I recognized who it is, Jeremiah. I just stood there watching him come over to us.

"I see your back at the park with the two guys I've seen before with you." He says.

Before I, or anybody, could say anything; Jeremiah walked off.

"Who was that?" Riley asks.

"That would be Jeremiah, he's seen you three walking in the park many times." Ryan replies.

We walk to the swings and I waited for Ryan to sit down so I can sit on his lap. When he finally did sit, I sat down and felt his hands wrap around my waist. I suddenly had another memory...I didn't want to say anything yet because of what I just saw but I found the courage to tell them.

"I need to tell you guys something but I want you to be silent until I've finished talking, alright?" I ask.

I look at my two brothers; I see them nod their heads.

"I won't say anything until you're done." I hear Ryan say.

I sigh a little not really wanting to tell them the newest memory that I just had.

"I did date Owen. I went over to his house to see him and because he had given me a key, I just opened the door and walked in. I heard noises coming from the bedroom so I made my way there. The door was cracked open a bit so I looked in and saw Owen with another woman." I say.

I felt Ryan tighten his grip around my waist. I knew he was furious.

"The reason I never said anything was because I was afraid that Owen would hurt me." I finish.

Ryan growls loudly.

"You need to tell dad." Riley says.

I didn't want to say anything to dad.

"Babe please tell him." Ryan says.

With the encouragement from Ryan I had decided to go ahead and tell dad.

"Alright, I promise that I'll tell him." I say.

I look over at Riley and see that he's smiling.

"Shall we go home now?" He asks.

I nod my head, we all got up off the swings and we made our way over to Ryan's car. We got in and Ryan drove off back to dad's house. When we got in front of the house, we got out and made our way to the front door. Riley opens the door and we walked inside. I saw that dad was sitting on the couch.

"Rose needs to tell you something." Riley says.

Dad turns his head slightly to look at us. I turn my head to the left and glare at Riley.

"Can we go outside and talk?" I ask.

I feel Ryan kiss the top of my head and then dad gets up off the couch and walks over to me. We head outside and we walked around for a bit.

"So what was it you wanted to talk about?" Dad asks.

I don't say anything for a bit. I wasn't sure if I had enough courage left in me to tell dad the truth.

"You remember Owen right?" I ask.

I had decided to tell him. I needed to get this off of my chest. Dad stops walking all of a sudden so I stop too.

"What about him?" He asks.

Dad never liked Owen, he hated him and I of course was too stupid to figure out why. I open my mouth and I told him everything. After I told him, I saw the anger in his eyes. Dad closes his eyes; he was trying to calm himself down. A few minutes later, he opens his eyes and the anger was gone.

"Come here and give me a hug." He says.

I smile as I close the gap between us. I feel dad wrap his arms around me so I do the same.

"Let's go inside." Dad says after the hug.

We went back inside the house.

"Riley can I speak to you outside?" Dad asks.

Riley got up off the couch and he made his way to the door. When he walked by me he kissed my cheek and placed a hand on my shoulder before walking out the door. I went over to Ryan and sat down on his lap.

"Did you tell your dad?" He asks.

I nod my head.

"Glad to hear that." He says.

Dad came back seven minutes later without Riley.

"Where's Riley at?" I ask.

Dad shuts the door.

"Running an errand for me." He replies.

I frown. "What kind of errand?" I question.

"You'll find out tomorrow. I think you two should head home, it's late." He replies.

I wonder what is going on and where is Riley. I knew better than try to argue with dad so I got up off of Ryan and walked over to my dad and hugged him tightly.

"Where's my hug at?" I hear Matt ask.

I went over to Matt and hugged him tightly as well. After we ended the hug I went back over to Ryan.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I say.

Ryan and I went outside and we got into the car. He drove off and we arrived home nine minutes later, we both got out then we went inside our house. I went to the bedroom and I could hear Ryan trailing after me. I pulled my pajamas out of the dresser and I got dressed. Ryan got his pajamas on as well and then we got in bed. Ryan pulls me top of him I wiggle around a bit getting into a comfortable position.

"I love you." He whispers.

"Love you too." I whisper.

I fell asleep then afterwards.
