They say that the best people come unexpectedly. Kaylia Cooper runs away from home to live with her father. In a town like Forks Washington where secrets are buried, Kaylia finds herself discovering all that the town has to offer. She finds love, an...
"Kaylia," Carlisle whispered. His arms wrapped around me from behind as I stared out the window on the second floor. "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing" I lied shaking my head. My mind was all jumbled as so many things ran through my head. These few years I have spent in Fork has been a whirlwind of emotions and experiences.
The man rubs his hands in slow and comforting circles on my exposed stomach. His fingers playing with the end of my crop top. "I've learned a long time ago, when a woman says nothing; it's always more than that."
"I know it's just...." I didn't know what to say.
"You can tell me anything" He spoke quietly. I knew that I could, I can tell anyone here anything. But how does one go about describing the thoughts that are zooming around in my head?
"I just....i feel like all I've brought to this family is more problems. I know it's not all one sided, but since I came here not much good had came. Sometimes I think we would all be better off if I just disappeared" I answered glaring down at my hands.
I turned around and my head is lifted softly to look into the topaz eyes that meet mine. "You have brought nothing but love and light to this family love. We had always felt like there was something missing, like an empty void attached to our hearts. Then you came and that hole filled up with space only meant for you. If you ever disappeared from my life now that I have had you in my gasp, I don't know what I would do. I would never be able to resort back to how things were before. You've made me and this family better people. We have a lot of growing to do, but we can do that together. This isn't a one person job honey, we are all in this together forever. I feel that when you truly love someone, that no matter what comes along with them; you embrace everything they can give. You have been through hell, but don't ever think you brought problems to us. I'm happy you're letting me be apart of your life. So if you ever have doubts about anything at all, tell me. I'm here for you. We all are."
I threw my arms around Carlisle and he embraced me. I needed to hear this because if I didn't I think that I would drive myself crazy. I didn't have to say anything for him to know I needed this talk. He just held me against him taking in each other.
"I love this family more than anything I have. Carlisle I don't say it a lot but you mean the world to me. Without you or Esme and the others, I could have been sent away. I couldn't bare to be without you either" I state feeling sentimental.
"I'm always here love" he whispered pressing a kiss to my shoulder.
We have had almost the same conversation a lot. But I think it's just because they want to reassure me. I've grown up with one parent who never assured me of anything, did nothing for me emotionally; living in a abusive home physically and emotionally a large chunk of me was loosed, and that type of thing can tare someone apart. Then finally being able to be with my dad just for him to be murderer, the trauma with that would be unbearable. It was nice to hear from someone that they would be here for me, especially after my father's passing.
