Always Mine {Book 3}| Completed

Chapter 33

                 E M M A'S POV:

    After the three hour drive, we had made it to the cabin. And I swear, the whole ride, all Christopher did was stare at me. And I guess I felt good about it, but the worst part was how badly I kept thinking in the back of my mind how bad Lara Jean hates me.

   I guess I'm okay with it, because I learned when I was small that you keep your enemies close. And so I guess I learned it from my mother. She once had to go through school bullies when she was at a very young age. She suffered with other girls who bullied her through elementary and middle school. She had girlfriends but they were not really friends, if you know what I mean. My mom did cheerleading outside of school when she was twelve and she suffered from an eating disorder and then when she got to high school when she was fourteen, she had decided to be a cheerleader for the school. It was 1990. And she just started being the popular freshman and the bullying just stopped.

  And so, my mother taught me when I was young that my bullies and enemies can't hurt me. So I would always need to keep my enemies close, like she did. And so, I will have to do this with Lara Jean. Keep her close, and know how deadly she thinks of me. She probably wishes that I get run over by a car. And I just know how much she hates me. And I know that I should hate her for how she treats me right in front of Christopher like it's so easy for her to insult me, call me a whore because I was taken advantage of by Josh, and yeah because of my romance I had with Noah. But Noah was the biggest mistake I've ever had. He was my biggest mistake. So Lara Jean shouldn't shove it at me. I'm sure she's had plenty of mistakes.

   I don't think someone like Lara Jean can understand if their constantly judging me for my past mistakes. She must know that I am human. And I've done a lot of things that I'm not proud of. Christopher hates the past because he did some awful things and so have I. But we both sort of grew from them. We both have realized overtime as we got older that we can't just be held accountable for every second. And I wish Lara Jean could see the good things of me. I always thought she liked me, especially when she wanted me to be in her wedding. But it turns out that was all an act. She only did that for Christopher. Not for me. So she hates me just as she has always hated me.

   The one thing for sure is that Lara Jean has no respect for me or Christopher. And it's actually pathetic. And I can't even understand it, due to all of the bad and good things that she's been saying or doing. And Christopher could maybe have defended me better against her. But I can't push him which will put a big drift in our relationship which is currently what's been happening to us. And partly, I blame that on Lara Jean.

The car stopped, and I recall actually being quiet, because I wasn't sure what to do. And I didn't want to piss Lara Jean off by speaking. And once the car turned off, I only thought about one thing was how nice this cabin is that is right in front of me. The cabin was obviously glamorous looking. We are literally in the middle of nowhere. And I couldn't actually imagine anything bad happening here because it looks so nice and peaceful here.

   I actually knew right from the start, I had seen this beautiful cabin. Real wood. So no lies. There's a hiking trail that leads into the woods real close by here. And a lake as well. And the closest grocery store is like twenty minutes away. Like I said, there's nothing here. It's all woods. We're in the middle of nowhere. Of course, there's other cabins here. But the main one is Ty's parents. It looks so big like a mansion it actually surprised me.

Since Ty's parents own a lot of places. This cabin, a cottage, and a ski house in Michigan. So I know they worked hard as the law enforcement they are. If I remember correctly, his parents met in the academy. But didn't get married until after they joined the police force. But Ty was born to be a cop in set by his parents. He is the middle child, his older sister is Trisha, and then him and then his younger brother, Nick. Trisha is two years older. And Nick is a year younger. Trisha is in school for Banking, she's twenty-two. And Nick is in college for med school wanting to become a surgeon. And Ty is obviously in Dental School. Just like Victoria is. Ty never wanted to be a cop or a detective like his parents. But he is married to a soon to be lawyer. Even though I heard that Lara Jean always wanted to be a court judge.
