Isadora-Tnn

20. The final chapter

The room is silent. Painfully silent. No one can even think of a word to say as the red head told her story.

She looks up and at the woman before her,
"I would have never stopped looking for you if I knew you were still alive" the woman sniffs away her own tears, "I was a screwed up kid and I was scared but it's not an excuse. I should never have trusted Roger"

Mia looks around the room. Winter was sat silently with Autumn's hand tightly untwined in his own. The woman had gone slightly pale hearing the truth from all those years ago.

Reece sat on the table and stared at the floor. Not daring to look up. Yet Mia could still make out the tears that dripped from his face.

Marjorie and Charlotte sat in utter disbelieve. And back to Mia.

"I feel sick" Autumn spoke up, braking the silence. Reece lifted his head to look over at-
"Where the fuck is he?" He stands from the table, "He's not getting away with this" everyone stands as Reece opens the door and leaves the room.

The group came out into the hallway where a familiar brunette was walking,
"Viv?"
"Oh, hi Marjorie"
"Any chance you've seen Roger?" Autumn questions,
"Nope. I'm going home"
"Why? Marjorie asks,
"There's nothing here for me, see you later"
"Wait"

Everyone turns at the sudden voice. Siobhan stands in the middle of the hallway in her dress yet the blonde couldn't care less. She walked further so she could stand face to face with the brunette she longed for.

"It's you Vivian" her voice is barely above a whisper as she talked, "I choose you"

Nobody there expected the blonde to come out with those words, they stood silently as shock took over them.
"You weren't jogging partners at all!" "Oh for fuck sake Marjorie" Mia rolled her eyes at the woman,
"Really Marjorie?" Winter questioned,
"You have to be joking" Vivian added,
"What?!?!"
"Not the time Marjorie" Charlotte innocently smiled, "You don't have alot of time, you need to go. Now"

The woman looked at the blond in front of her. She's everything she ever wanted. Was this it? Was this her final break?
"You with me?" Siobhan nods and takes her hand in hers,
"Let's get out of here"

The group watch as the two quickly leave the other way.
"Now let's go find Roger" Reece's knuckles click as he makes a tight fist,
"I'll get my bat" his sister added,
"That's my wife"

Reece and Autumn continue to walk down the hall on their way to find their father. Winter, Marjorie and Charlotte following.

As they walk a little, Mia stops as well as Isadora.
"Mia?" The red head looks at her, "I had a good life. My parents were always there for me" Mia smiled softly, "But, I'd really like to know my real parents too. If you want that" it takes a moment for Mia to respond as she believes she's dreaming of this moment. A moment as special as that very first kick. 

"I'd love that"
