Sydney's POV

My chest rose up and down as I walked out the door and tried to contain my composure. I began to walk to the gates that I knew were heavily guarded. I looked up at the eyes that I already knew was on me and motioned towards the gates, but they shook their head.

"Sydney,"

I turned around to see Jared walking towards me slowly with a sorrowful face.

"What do you want, Jared? Have you come to apologize for my Father?" I crossed my arms under my chest and looked at him.

He shook his head and twisted his lips to the side. " I came to say...Um...How about we go walking?" He flashed a lopsided grin at me and held his hand out.

Looking down at it, I didn't accept it, but I did walk his way and I assume he took the hint because he began to walk also.  It was quiet for a while as we walked around the enormous manor and honestly, my toes were barking.

"Your father...He is..He's a difficult man. You have to see it from his.-"

"No. Please don't tell me to see it from his side. See it from mine. You were my father. MY FATHER and you faked your death. Do you know how that makes me feel? Like I'm unwanted and unloved," I slowed down as we found ourselves in a garden.

What was with rich people and gardens?

Jared sighed and nodded as he stuffed his hands in his pocket. "I understand Syd, I really do. But he already lost you out of arms reach, he was just scared."

"Didn't seem like it," I stopped for a second to look at the sky. The sunset was beautiful but it didn't reflect the mood I was in. It actually made  it worst. Before I knew it I felt a hand reach up to wipe away a tear.

I turned to look at him and bite my bottom lip as I was ready to burst into tears. I have dealt with so much over the short amount of time and I was tired. My husband was an asshole, my dead father was alive and cared more about his other daughter than me, and my first love was back and I felt he has already lied to me. I felt my knees grew week and eventually I felt myself going down, but arms wrapped around and me and slowed down my graceful fall. We both sat on our knees as I cried out louder than I had ever before.

He patted my hair  and moved my forehead to rest on his shoulder, he opened his legs and pulled me close so he was holding me as I cried out. He began to rock me back and forth as he rubbed my back in a soothing manner. Not long after my head started to hurt and my eyes felt heavy so I closed them and let myself drift away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up I began to twist around but something restricted me which caused my eyes to open. Looking over to the left I was surprised to see the sleeping face of Jared. Blinking a couple of time, I tried to squirm out of his arms while thinking as to why I was in them.

"Stop moving before you give a boner, then we are really gonna have an issue," he grunted out and didn't even bother to open his eyes.

"Why are you in the bed with me?" I didn't move anymore as instructed and waited for him to answer.

His breathing had seemed to even out and his mouth opened a little, which suggested he had fallen back to sleep. But, I was wrong as he removed his arm and groaned.

"You broke down last night and passed out in my arms. Your Father found us and was mad at first, but I told him what happened so he instructed me to put up here. When we got up here, you clung to me and didn't want to let go of me, so 9 hours later, here we are." He said without moving out of his position or even opening his eyes.

I was slightly embarrassed from the situation last night. He had seen a side of me that I don't reveal too many, but it seemed like he saw it and knew how to deal with it.

"Listen, if you're worried your tough girl act is up, it's okay. It was over when you came here...You had a lot going on, so it was okay, but you might want to get up and change. Your Brother and Mother should be here by now."

At those words, I threw the covers off my body and hopped out of the bed. I had been changed into some pajama pants and a simple tank top. I ran to the door and threw it open and ran towards the stairs, running down them and pass so many people I listened for the voice of my mother and brother. When I was sure it was them I ran to it until I stopped in the door of the kitchen. My mom and brother were sitting on one side with my sperm donor and his daughter was sitting on the other.

"Syd," my brother spotted me first and got up to hug me. I gladly accepted his hug as it felt like home. "I've missed you so much."

I squeezed him tightly and pulled away to give my mother a hug. She looked a lot healthier than the last time I had seen her. "Momma, I missed you so much."

"You better, I missed your old big head self too," I smiled at her and was about to talk before someone cleared their throat.

We all turned to look at my father who had a serious face on. What could it be now?
