Rod - The Weapon

Chapter 29: Henry

I continue to read the rest of the letter since I hadn't finished reading it.

' I honestly think that I'll miss you up there, or who knows if I'll be born as a new person? This life which I had, I am really grateful for it. The only thing I regret is not seeing all of my friends and family before I die.
Those people on my street were my family but I don't think now they even remember me.'

Is see a few smudged letters on the paper, she really was crying. I feel so bad for her, but I think she spent her last few days happy. I didn't leave her side at all. I did whatever she asked me to do, I stayed with her till her last breath.

I remember her last words, 'Love.. you..Aid.."

As I'm sobbing I look back into the letter to continue to read the letter.

' Before I end this letter I wanted to say a few goodbyes to the people I haven't visited in a lot of years. If you ever come across them, tell them I said this:

To all those from Whitestreet, you were a big part of my life, and I'm pretty sure that you left a good effect on me. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for taking care of my husband.

Maya, you were, are and will always be my mother. I don't need to call any other woman my mother when you were the one who got up in the middle of the night to change my diapers. I love you so so so much! I hope you live longer than me.

To my special person, Kenny. No, I'll be a little bit more formal. Henry Louise, my darling I am so sorry for all the things you went through. I am so sorry that I wasn't able to protect you. I hope you're still alive, I hope you're thriving in life. I hope you forget all about this..
I want you to become a man who cares for others, is kind and respects others.

You already were a gentleman, I wish I could have seen how you are now.'

My jaw fucking dropped. So Kenny was Henry? What the fuck? It all makes sense now, how Henry used to have an injury and how he didn't remember the both of us. He lost his memory after the coma, so he didn't know that he got raped.

And the elders used this advantage and his the fact from him. Holy shit, this is insane. I need to tell him the truth, but I can't do it over text. The matter is too serious, I'll meet him tomorrow. My heart is beating so fast that I feel like I'm dying right now, but I sort of feel at peace now that I know that Rach knows the truth.

I continue reading the last paragraph
' Aiden, to my beautiful loving husband. Even though we didn't have kids, you filled in that void yourself. Thank you for choosing a loser like me, and staying with me till the moment I die. It kind of baffles me how I got an amazing husband, but I hope that I was a good wife to you too.

I know for a fact that you'll miss me a lot, I already miss you lol. Stay healthy, eat healthy. Don't drink too much, drink a lot of water though. Eat a lot of home cooked meals. If you have to take tablets, have them on time. Make new friends, reconcile with our old friends too.

Just know that my love for you exceeds the universe. I love you so much, just for being yourself. You're a kind hearted, gentleman who fell from heaven above.
After all I'm the macaroni to your cheese!

Good bye Aiden, our final goodbye I believe. Thank you for staying by my side in my darkest times.

With all the love in the world,
Rach.'

I love you too Rachel, so much that I went against my own morals and murdered someone. But I'm pretty sure you knee this before you died, I really needed to hear this today.

I wish you had met Valerie at least once, or maybe Henry. I mean, I have been hanging out with that kid for the past month. You'd have been surprised to see how identical you look to your daughter. At the end, you did end up having a kid.

I should text Henry to come to my house tomorrow. I send the message, 'Hey Hen, got a lot to tell you, only you, tomorrow. Don't record it alright? Come to my house early in the morning. If I don't answer the door then take the keys under the flower pot and enter.'

He sends me a message stating, 'Okay, is everything alright?' I send back a message, 'Yeah, we'll talk about it tomorrow.'

I take my pill which the doctor prescribed, maybe two because I don't know if I'll sleep after all of this drama. I fall on my bed with the letter pressed against my chest. Oh Rachel, the things you do to me.
I instantly start dozing off.

I look around to see where I am, it looks like a bridge. Water is flowing in the river peacefully, birds are chirping and the entirety of the scene is serene. I feel at peace. That I when I spot Rachel beside me, I hadn't even noticed her. She is wearing a pretty yellow sun dress, with small strawberry earrings.

She is so adorable, I touch her face when she looks at me with such an alive look. I forgot how beautiful she looked. It all felt so real, this is real. She says, 'You read the letter huh?' I just nod as I look into her eyes with love. She continues, 'I hope you know that I will never hate you for anything that you did. I'm glad that you didn't want to completely turn in yourself.

I would have been devastated if you went to jail because I didn't want to lose you at all.' I just nod as I move my face closer to hers, brushing some hair out of her face. I reach for her lips when there is a sudden pause, that I when she pushes herself onto me and we kiss. After so many days, weeks, it felt surreal.

I kissed her with so much love and passion, she returned the same. My hands were around her waist while hers were on my chest. We just started giggling like small children after the kiss. I missed this so much.

Then we both just stare off into the scenic view. That I when I ask, 'What have you been doing?' She looks at me and says, 'I am bored to be honest, it all just seems grey without you. I don't like being alone.' I sigh and say, 'I wish I could go back to you.' She says, 'Even though this all feels real, you know it isn't don't you?'

I nod with a disappointed smile. She says, 'You have Henry, Guy and Valerie. What will they do?' I ask, 'How do you know about them?' She says, 'You realize that we are in your conscience don't you?'

I chuckle and say, 'Yeah yeah whatever.' She smack my head slightly and I act as if a rock was thrown on my head. We start laughing like kids again. I miss this so much, the laughing and love.

Her love was much different than the ones I have received from others. It felt much more warm and cozy. I looked into her face again, examining it, I notice her cute brown freckles on her nose and her beautiful red hair.

Her eyes look really pretty in the sun, for I want to look at them forever. I hear a beeping sound all of a sudden. We both get slightly confused but Rachel says, 'You should go back now.'

I say sternly, 'I'm not losing you again, ever. Let me be here. No, I'll stay here with you. The beeping sound reduces and after a while I can't even hear it. She says, 'Let's go home.' I say, 'Let's go home sunshine.' We walk off, holding hands together into the sunset.

Guys did you expect Henry to be Kenny??? I made the relation like this- Henry has the word 'Hen' in it, and he walked like a chicken too. So taking the 'ken' out of chicken, I got the name Kenny. Mr. and Mrs. Lou are actually Mr. and Mrs. Louise. If you understand the relation, great!!!

What do you think will happen next, after Aiden's beautiful dream?
