The Boy In The Red Blazer

Chapter 23

"You want to sign me?!"
He nodded.
"Yes. Mrs. Swartz you are very talented."
He handed me his business card.
"Please think my offer over and give me a call."
He smiled and walked off.
"Babe! Congrats!"
I was speechless.
"Are you going to take it?"
He asked wrapping his arms around me.
"I don't know."
Michaela shook her head.
"You should! We all know you're talented and so does everyone else."
Everyone agreed.
"I will think about it, I want to but I'm going to have to take off when I have the babies."
They nodded in agreement.
When we got back to the house the boys played video games and I went upstairs, Michaela went to finish her book.
I sat down and pulled out the necklace Jaydon gave me on my birthday.
It was my mom's favorite necklace with a picture of Jaydon and I when we were born.
I also pulled out a photo of my parents.
"I miss you guys. I wish you were here with me, I need you. I don't know if I should take the job, I'm scared about being a mom."
Tears fell down my face and onto the picture.
"I need you guys."
There was a knock on the door.
"Meghan? Can we use your tv to play video games?"
Jaydon sounded like a child, not an adult.
"Yeah I guess."
I opened the door and they walked in, hooking their games up.
I grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.
"I'm going outside."
Brendon followed me to the hallway.
"Are you okay? I thought I heard you crying."
I smiled, and kissed him.
"Yeah, everything's alright. Don't worry."
I sat on the stairs and opened a book.
I needed something to do.
It got loud, I heard Nick yell and then something shatter.
I went upstairs and saw the picture of my parents shattered.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
Nick quickly apologized.
"I don't care just get out."
They all left except Brendon.
I went to pick up the picture but Brendon stopped me.
"I got it."
I was in tears, I was a complete mess.
"Here." He said handing me a folded piece of paper.
I opened it and a family photo fell out.
It was a note.
Meghan and Jaydon.
We love you, we left because your father and I were in trouble.
We weren't killed, we did it ourself.
Please don't forget us.
We wrote you each a special letter.
Meghan:
You will always be our baby girl!
Watch over your brother, don't let him be a heartbreaker.
We will always watch over you, make sure you keep up your grades and find yourself a good man and have many beautiful grand-babies for us!
Jaydon:
We love to the moon and back baby boy!
We are watching so don't get into trouble!
Watch over your sister, keep her away from Jarred and any guy like him.
Protect her and her children.
Hope you marry a beautiful woman and have beautiful children.

We love you both so much and we are sorry it ended this way.

I couldn't believe my eyes.
They committed suicide.
Brendon read the note from over my shoulder.
He sat down on the bed behind me, rubbing my stomach.
He kissed my neck.
"It's okay, they're fine now."
I couldn't control my tears.
How could they lie to us?
