Happily Never After || Sequel to Our Differences (ON HOLD)

Chapter Eighteen ~ Sympathy

Stay low,

Soft, dark, and dreamless.

Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness.

I hate me,
For breathing without you.

I don't want to feel anymore for you.

Grieving for you.
I'm not grieving for you.

Nothing real love can't undo.

And though I may have lost my way,
All paths lead straight to you.

I long to be Like You . . .
Lie cold in the ground Like You . . .

Halo,
Blinding wall between us.

Melt away and
Leave us alone again.

The humming,
Haunted somewhere out there.

I believe our
Love can see us through
In death.

I long to be Like You.
Lie cold in the ground like you.
There's room inside for two,
And I'm not grieving for you.
I'm coming for you.

You're not alone . . .
No matter what they told you
You're not alone!

I'll be
Right beside you
Forevermore!

I long to be Like You, sis.
Lie cold in the ground Like You did.
There's room inside for two,
And I'm not grieving for you.

And as we lay in silent bliss,
I know you remember me.

I long to be Like You.
Lie cold in the ground Like You.
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you.
I'm coming for you.

My sister is dead.

The found her outside covered in dirt and blood with her clothes ripped.

This morning, they had told us that they finally found Jack, who sat in his truck with a picture of him, Alexis, and Amelia in one hand, and the gun that he used to shoot Alexis in the other. He wasn't doing anything. He just sat there, muttering a bunch of words to himself that none of the police could understand.

His truck had been near an abandoned building, and it was a bit more easy for the police to find the truck since the truck was near an abandoned building in the early morning, and the headlights were on.

It's odd because when I met my sister at McDonalds, Jon told me how Amelia said that her father vowed to leave Alexis and Amelia and he never came back.

But now he does come back?

And he kills my sister?

He kills his wife? His daughter's mother?

I would love to have a gun and pull the trigger right at his head, but it's too late for that now.

Last night, I told the police that I would take custody of Amelia. It's going to be a lot harder traveling with Amelia, but it's going to work. It has to. I'm not letting my niece go to a house full of strangers and live with them for the rest of her life.

So that's when I stepped in.

And April was by my side the whole time.

Maybe Amelia will have a better life now. Sure, traveling won't be easy, but it's going to work. Amelia will get to explore and see the world.
