It's Monday as I write this note. I know i said Friday but yea. It is winter break and I for one know for a fact that once I got money I am buying all kind a presents on sale. I did just that so your welcome. Now enjoy chapter 10. Love you guys!
Chapter 10~
Ever get that feeling that some things shouldn't happen and no matter what you do it is never gonna happen? Right now as I write this, I can't help but think of my son, my daughter and my wife. I will miss them greatly and I hope Emma and Ryder will understand. My destiny was this, I do not know why and therefore will try to understand it myself.
Ryder,
if one day you come back home, know I did everything in my power to protect you but I had to protect your sister. Your sister misses you the most out of all of us I think. She has gotten involved with the police many times, and the old Emma is buried down deep inside of her, only sometimes showing and when it does its the best few hours. Ryder you were her rock. Now I know i shouldn't willingly put myself out there to end my life, but I don't need you guys hurting anymore than you do now. If you get to see this, then I know you didn't give up. Watch out for your sister and mother Ryder, they need you. You will be a great man someday Ryder and I only wish for me to be able to see that. I love you son, and no matter what happens you will make me proud.
Emma,
My baby girl. I hope you read this and don't think of me as the man that left you without an explanation, I know Ryder is gone and I know you hold on to me and your mother tightly whenever we go out because you are terrified they might take us away as well. Your mother will be by your side no matter what and if one day you get paired up with them, just remember one thing. Not all of them are bad. I used to be friends with one, his name was Adam. General Adam. He is a good man and he promised me nothing bad will happen to Ryder. Emma please don't give up on life and all the possibilities out there because I know you were born to do great things. Even when you were younger once you wanted something done, it got done. Maybe that is why Ryder never won a fight with you. I love you princess and I hope you forgive me for leaving. When Ryder comes home make sure he reads this. I have another note for him just in case you and your mother don't have the heart to tell him. It is in my office underneath the lamp so no one else would find it.
I love you both so much.
Goodbye my son, Goodbye my princess.
-With much love, your father.
"He has a right to know mother." She sniffled and nodded, agreeing with my statement. Handing me back the note, we both got up and walked down the hall to the office. "I will go get Ryder." I whispered before turning around and heading back to the living room. I walked in to see Ryder still crying on Lara's shoulder and Damien sitting in the arm chair with his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands.
"Ryder, I need to talk to you." Lara growled at me as Ryder went to get up. He looked at her before quietly reassuring her that he needs to know everything else. Not wanting to argue with her mate she simply nodded before glaring at me. I averted my gaze to Damien, his eyes were cold and distant. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat before I walked to the office, Ryder right behind me. I opened the door and let Ryder in before closing it and locking it.
"What's going on?" He asked my mother and I quietly. I started to cry as I held onto Ryder.
"I'm sorry I never told you, I didn't know how and I love you and don't wanna see you hurt but this has to happen and I hope you understand." My mother said sadly. I handed him the note I read with my mom that was in the folder I took, I ended up telling her that I found it on the floor in her closet. Before he had the chance to read it I spoke up.
"Dad's last wish was to make sure you knew what happened." I said quietly as my mom handed him the other letter. "You should read it by yourself, it's better that way." He nodded his head at me and hugged me. "Everything is going to be okay Ryder. We can get through it together."
"I love you Emmy." I giggled at the nickname I earned at the age of 3. Letting Ryder go I walked out the door my mother unlocked and closed it. I headed out to the living room, on my way there I heard my mother sniffling in her room. She needed alone time so I left her alone. Continuing my journey to the living room I noticed Lara missing.
"She went on a run." His voice emotionless. It hit me hard knowing I caused this. For the two days away from home, our relationship sure has been bipolar but I needed to fix this. Even though I don't love him yet, I know I will one day and he loves me now. He gave me what I wanted and didn't give up on me. He stood up and went to walk in the kitchen, obviously trying to get away from me. Before he could take a step though I launched myself at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. This caught him by surprise as he stumbled and landed back in the chair. I buried my face in his neck and started to cry as I practically straddled him.
"I'm sorry Damien, so sorry. I pushed you away and I hope you can forgive me. I'm so used to being by myself and not having anybody to turn to." I continued to cry as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"My only thing is you don't like me very much so when you became distant I thought we were back at square one because I gave you what you wanted." He pulled my face towards him and kissed my forehead. "I should've known you weren't that type of girl" I giggled and pushed myself up. I wiped my tears away and sniffled.
"Things are gonna be different, I promise. No more getting involved with police, pushing people away and hating everyone." He chuckled before he froze and looked at me in confusion. I opened my mouth to ask him what was wrong but he beat me to it.
"You got involved with the police?" I laughed and rested my head on his shoulder and yawned. I played with his fingers and smiled as I noticed how much bigger they are compared to mine. "Emma..." Damien trailed off.
"Shh." I whispered. Listening to his heartbeat made me calm down. It was like a lullaby that was meant to help me sleep. It was working. Before i could fully close my eyes though I said one more thing. "That's a story for another time." I mumbled. I let sleep take me over completely as I enjoyed
Damien's hand running through my hair.
Guess what! This Friday a new chapter will be put up but not just any chapter. It will be in Ryders perspective and it will explain her dads death. Which is what the middle and the end of the story will be about. It's like a christmas....or any other holiday.... gift! so look forward to that and see ya guys later!
