It was a few days after Hilltop was destroyed. After we found the kids we sadly found Earl dead. We burred him next to his wife. Alden took after Adam, it was close to say that he already loved him like his own. Same with Quinn, if anything those two were head over heels with that baby.
I was heading to my room when I saw Tommy was in there. I saw that he found Thomas's things. He was holding one of his shirts.
Tommy how did you find that? I asked.
It was a box with other stuff that belonged to dad. Tommy said.
Okay, well can you put it back please. I said.
Why, can I keep it? Tommy asked.
No, Tommy can you please put it back. said.
No, you never let me have anything of dad's . Tommy said.
Tommy, I said put the shirt back. I said.
Why, can't I have anything of dads, why can't you tell me anything about him. All I want is to know one thing about him. Tommy said.
I grabbed the shirt and put it back in the box.
Why, can't you tell me anything about him. Tommy asked.
Tommy another time, just go get ready we're leaving. I said.
I'm sick of you saying that, evetime you say another time, but you never do! Tommy yelled.
Tommy, I am your mother. And I will tell you about father when I feel like your ready. But your not ready, now go get ready! I yelled.
Tommy than ran and shut the door. Once he was away I picked up the shirt. It was awhile since I saw some of Thomas's things.
After a few hours I went to Tommy's room and knocked on the door.
Tommy come on. I said but there was no answer.
Tommy? I said as I went into his room but he wasn't their.
Tommy! Tommy where are you. I said.
Panic was rushing through my mind.
I grabbed my gun and headed out to go find my son.
I looked and looked all over for him. I was scared that maybe he went outside the wall. I was scared, for him.
I was about to leave until I heard Dylan.
What do you want? I asked.
I'm coming with you to look for Tommy. He said.
No, I told you to stay away from him. I said.
And I have, but he's also my nephew. So if he's in trouble than I'm coming even if you hate me. Dylan said.
I knew he wasn't going to refuse so I grabbed my gun and we headed it out.
---------------------------------------------
As we were walking I looked and looked. My mind was filling with thoughts about would happen to him.
Is there any reason why he ran off. Dylan asked.
I didn't respond to him.
Okay, Mae I'm going to need you to answer me. Dylan said.
No, I don't think I do. I said.
I'm just trying to help. Dylan said.
I never wanted your help. Besides Tommy only got mad because I didn't tell him a story about Thomas. I said.
Well than maybe that's it Mae, he wants to know about his dad. He deserves to know. Dylan said.
As we were walking, I felt Dylan grab my shoulder and point in the distance. When I looked I saw a small blonde boy sitting on a car. I than realized it was Tommy.
I ran over to him and hugged him.
He pushed him self out of the hug.
That's when I knew Dylan was right, Tommy did have every right to know about Thomas.
I'm sorry. I said.
Tommy than looked ta me with a confused expression.
I'm sorry for not telling you anything about your father. It's just that I loved your dad a lot. So much that I think I won't be able to love anyone like that again. And when he died it was really painful for me. I wasn't in a good place, I wanted to fight everyone around me. I didn't care what happened to me, and I would push people away. Like papa Aaron. I said.
You fought with grandpa? Tommy said.
Yeah, but he was understanding, the point is even after all these years, I still miss your father. I miss his touch, His humor, and his kindness. And sometimes when I talk about him it makes me really sad. That's why when you always asked me about your dad I would get sad. I said as tears rolled down my face.
Tommy than touched me hand.
But you deserve to know about him, so your dad was the most funniest people I ever met. He was very brave. He would always hand out with Uncle Daryl and beg him to ride his motorcycle. He loved you Aunt Payton and Uncle Dylan so much. Whenever those two were in danger he would go and fight for them. I said.
Tommy than hugged me.
I wished I could meet him. Tommy said.
I know me to, but He's always watching you, and I know he loves you as much as I love you. I said.
Thanks mom. Tommy said.
As we were hugging Dylan came by us he smiled. This made me realize that I had to let somethings go.
Tommy this is your uncle Dylan. I said as Tommy went to go see Dylan.
Hey. Dylan said.
Tommy than went in for a hug.
I saw Dylan smile a but but it was small. He hugged Tommy back but he seemed sad about it.
