The Legacy

Chapter 13-Stone wall Bonding

Georgie exits the house, hiding his face from view and wiping away the tears before quickly darting to his car Dominic left Heartland and was once again on the open road. Rolling down the windows he embraced the wind like it was welcoming him home but that didn't stop his eyes from filling with tears once more this time however there was no one there to comfort him. Pulling into his driveway it was clear as day that his family had heard about the fire as they were all waiting for him to return. "I guess you know then" Dominic said fighting the tears in his eyes. Skye embraced her twin brother in a deep and warm hug. "We are here for you, all of us and I know it's not great timing but when your ready I would like you and our family to meet someone special." Skye said with glee. "Well no time like the present and it may distract me" Dominic smiled. His upbeat attitude almost reflected off of him and back at his family as their smiles lifted the cloud of doom away from them. 

Entering the living room they all sat down and got comfortable as skye watched the door like a hawk. "Okay so before introduce them, theres something that you all need to know about me and this isn't easy to say so i'm just gonna say it. I like girls and I am attracted to girls." Skye said looking at the floor letting her nerves get the better of her. "Aww sweetie we already know that." Hayley said. "Actually we have kind of known since you were eleven" Stuart added on to the conversation. Lloyd and Dominic smiled at one another and then at Skye. "So who's the girl" Lloyd asks. "oh right yh" Skye said as she ran to the door to let Abigail in. "Everyone this is Abigail" Skye said as Abigail entered the living room. "Hello I'm Abigail Hornby but you can just call me Abi" Abigail said smiling. The family welcomed her all except for Dominic who said nothing at all. "Dominic aren't you going to say hello to my girlfriend, is everything okay." Skye asked as herself became quite worried as did the rest of the family. "My apologies Abi i'm Dominic Heart, Skye's twin brother and please excuse me I need to go." Dominic responded as he hurried out the door. Avoiding his car he began to walk down the road as he put his earphones in and put on some music to try and relax himself. 

Meanwhile at Heartland Georgie sat in her bedroom staring at the wall when Lou knocked on the door. "Hey, how are you holding up" Lou asked however got no response. "you don't have to say anything it's okay" Lou said as she entered and sat next to Georgie on her bed. "Look I know everything seems bad right now but it won't last it never does besides I just got a call from Grandpa and he said Amy is okay and needs to spend a couple nights in hospital and then she can come home." Lou said trying to comfort her. "It's my fault i'm the reason the barn caught fire i nearly got Amy and all the horses hurt i'm sorry" Georgie cried into Lou's arms. "Sweetie how is it your fault." Lou kept comforting her but she wouldn't stop crying. "Hey I bet if Dominic was here right now he would call you cute and tell you that you look beautiful when crying." Lou said hoping it would cheer her up. Georgie smiled as tears kept falling. "Come on you let's go see Amy" Lou said as she left Georgie's room. Crying for a few extra minutes georgie managed to calm herself down and then joined Lou as they headed to the hospital. 

(20 minutes later)

The two arrived at the hospital and a nurse directed them to Amy's room entering the room they saw Amy's face light up with a smile at seeing them both there but it faded as amy sensed that georgie was focused on something else. "Hey don't blame yourself, this wasn't your fault at all" Amy said causing Georgie to wrap her arms around her tight and refuse to let go for a strong few minutes. "So did the fire Marshall say anything about what caused the fire" Jack asked taking a sip of his coffee. "Well they are suspecting foul play but nothing concrete as of yet also we have no way to rebuild the barn as our money is extremely low as of right now. but on to another concern I have is Dominic. Last I saw him he was pretty shooken up by what happened have you heard anything at all" Lou asked wanting good news. "Can't say I have, it might be best to give him a couple of days and if still nothing then do a house call" Jack responded taking another sip of his coffee.

Meanwhile Dominic was sitting on a stone wall in the middle of a field with his headphones in. Letting himself relax he took a deep breath and opened up his mixpad app. Playing the beat he created at the abandoned barn he listened to it once before he played it one more time this time adding lyrics to it. 

Unaware to Dominic, Skye and Abi had followed him just to make sure he's okay. "Wow your brother is incredibly talented" Abigail said watching from the bush. "Yeah he always had the talent ever since we were little it's kind of annoying at some times." Skye replied. "We should get outta here he seems okay". "No whooo your amazing" Abi shouted revealing that they were there. Dominic turned around with a smile on his face as he saw his sister still trying to hide. "Relax Skye i'm not angry at you but I see you have found my little spot." Dominic smirked. They laughed for a few minutes and Dominic approached Abi. Did you want to listen to some of my other tracks here" Dominic said as he handed his phone and headphones to Abi. Listening to one of the songs she started dancing as Dominic sat on the wall with Skye. "She's a nice girl, you found a good one sis hold on to her." Dominic said making eye contact with his sister. "I will as long as you do too" Skye replied. "Oh I will here's how, we are going to go on a horse ride and as we do all of our friends and family are going to Hand Georgie white roses then when we get to her favourite lake I was thinking perhaps I sing her a romantic song and then ask her to marry me. What do you think?" Dominic asked. "Oh my that is so romantic and I think it will be amazing I can't wait to participate in it" Skye responded with such life in her tone of voice. The three then spend some time talking and getting to really connect with one another on deeper levels.
