Shawn Mendes~The Secret Box (book 2; squeal of BFTL)

chapter 22

I sat on the bed beside Ashley.

"We got to go Ashley."

"Ok."

I picked Ashley up and sat her down on her feet. I grabbed the two boxes.

"What are those boxes for?" She asked.

"They were on Emma's and your bed in yall's rooms and I opened them to see what they were and they were pictures of all of us so I wrote your's and Emma's name on them as your secret box. There's latter's too that came with them one latter for me, one for you, and one for Emma."

"Ok thank you for getting them for us."

We walked out of the house abd Ashley put the house key in he pocket just incase she wanted to come back. We walked back to my mom's and walked in. I walked over to my mom.

"Mom did you tell Emma?" I asked.

"No I didn't I wanted you or Ashley to tell her." She said.

"Ok. Emma can I talk to you for a second alone."

"Yeah sure."

Ashley came with me and Emma. We walked outside and walked to Ashley and I's old tree house. We didn't go to the swing we went up in our tree house. I sat down at my deck I put in a few years ago. I patted my lap for Emma to set in. She walked up and sat down on my lap looking at me.

"Emma I ha e very bad news to tell you."

"Whats going on." Em asked.

"Em your dad killed your mom sometime between 6 A.M. to 7 A.M. this morning and was caught murdering her. She left this box for you in your room and there is a latter for you in it. She left one for Ashley too. I'm so sorry that this had to happen but he isn't going to touch you, your sister, or my child. He will be dead before he touches any of y'all."

Emma had tears rolling down her cheeks as I pulled her into my chest like she was my own daughter. She cried into me as Ashley just looked out the window at the sky. The sun about to disappear so I told them we needed to go back home. We walked back to my mom's and I asked her if she could watch Tucker for the night and a he said she would. Emma took the box I gave her and walked to her new room witch was my old room. I say Bye to everyone. Ashley and I walk to my car and dive home. We walked our house and Ashley walked to our room. I walked to the kitchen and washed the dishes. I let the water out and dried my hands. I walk upstairs and opened the doir to our room. Ashley just sat there on our bed and was just looking down at her hands playing with our engagement ring. I shut the door and Ashley looked up at me she had tears in her eyes. I sat down next to her and held her hands she intertwined our fingers and put her head on my shoulder and started to cry again so I just held her for a while.
