Dear Mere

Chapter 14

    It was now afternoon and me and Ryan were sitting down in the living room with the lawyer now moving on to my mother's will first then my father's.As he brought the will out I could feel Ryan squeezing my hand in comfort.Before the lawyer started reading he introduced himself.

"All right kids it's nice to meet you,my name is Mr.Staphler." We both leaned in to shake hands."I am very sorry for your loss,your mother and father were both close friends of mine."We both just nodded,he then cleared his throat and brought out two envelopes and handed one to each of us."

These are from your mother she wanted me to give these to you first before the other things,i'm assuming you would want to read that later."He both glanced at us and we nodded,I on the other hand glanced at the letter and I automatically recognized my mother's beautiful cursive writing.

"Alright,now."He had now brought back the piece of paper he had before.

"To my dear son,I give you my $7,000,000 ring that was passed down generations from my grandparents to theirs,I give this to you to give to someone you really and truly love."What the letter had said touched me when I look at the rig it was a beautiful emerald ring with small diamonds circling around it.It made sense considering my moms maiden name was Emerald.The lawyer then moved on to me.

"To my beloved daughter i give you my $5,000,000 old family cabin that has been in my family for generations,and for both of you I give you the family money which consists of $80,000,000 each that you will inherit on your eighteenth birthday."

Ryan and me were both shocked at the amount of money it was so much and all for us.As for the cabin I could clearly remember it,we went there several imes for holidays during the winter,it was a two story and fully furnished log cabin and it was massive.I could'nt believe I was now the owner of it,well I would legally be the owner on my birthday but still.

"Now for your father's will", The lawyer then moved on to another letter and brought out two more envelopes."From your father for both of you."We were both given letters like our mom had given us.Mr.Staphler now held the paper back in his hands.

"To my son,I give you my collection of old antique cars"I knew that was a score for Ryan considering his love for cars.He also seemed excited.

"To my dear daughter,I give you my mother's $2,000,000 wedding dress that has been passed by from generations in our family, for both of my children I give my whole fortune ,house,and vacation houses."

That was truly shocking right there.Our father had left us everything and gave me a dress that was probably older than me.

"Alright here are the things you will need,and I will be back a day after your birthday to sort everything else out,it was nice meeting you and sorry for your loss."He gave us a box, two keys,and the number for the bank accounts,he then stood up shaking our hands and left us in silence.

"Wow,that was something,can you believe it"I shook my head in answer still shocked myself."So...-"he motioned to both the letters in his and.Almost as if he read my mind I wanted to read the letters too."Come on let's read them" we both sat down across from each other and read mom's letter first.

Dear Meredith,

By the time you are reading this I am probably not with with you anymore.I want you to know that you and Ryan were the best things that ever happened to me next to me marrying your father.I am so proud of how much you have grown even though I may not be there to see it.I want you to be happy and live your life knowing I will always be proud of you.Meredith I love you so much and i'm sorry if it can't be there.Just know that no matter what, I am with you when you need me.

Forever and Always,my dearest daughter.

My eyes were misty with tears when I set the letter down.I could feel the droplets of hot tears already spilling.I could see Ryan already putting his letter down and coming over giving me a bear hug.

"I know,I know I really want to cry right know"He admitted with a weary chuckle,pulling away he said,"How about we read dad's letter later",nodding in answer he took my hand and all but dragged me to the kitchen.

He then sat me down on the seat and turned back to the kitchen,kept me waiting for a while then came back with two sandwiches.

"Eat" I was about to protest and say I wasn't hungry but my stomach answered for me.

"Alright" I said in defeat as we both dug into our meal.After a while he then suddenly spoke up."In the will mom put the old family cabin under your name".

"I wouldn't exactly call it old but yeah why?" saying in wonder because he now had that weird mischievous look in his eyes.

"So I was thinking maybe we could spend fall break in the cabin to check it out since we haven't been there in a while,so we can probably go stay there" it was a wonderful idea as soon as he said it,but we could invite the whole group to stay with us.

"How about we invite the whole group to stay with us during the break at the cabin.?"

"Oh good idea,it will probably help with you in your mood."He said smirking in the corner of my eye.

"Mood?!,what mood,i'm not in a mood"e was now laughing a lot.

"Come on let's go call them"We then walked out of the kitchen to call everyone.

Here is her outfit for the day minus the heels but replace it with flats.No i am not going to show the letter's to Ryan.Did anyone notice the "Originals" refernce.I had to force Hunter to watch it.^o^
