Was it meant to be? (a Mingus Reedus love story)

Chapter thirty two

When I woke up I looked to my side to see Mingus wasn't laying next to me. I sat up and looked around. No one was in the room. I got up and walked out into the hallway. When I reached the living room Anthony and Mayzie were sitting on the couch watching T.V. Anthony looked up and said "Mingus went home about thirty minutes ago, his dad came and got him." I nodded and then Anthony said "We're gonna have to get going in about five to ten minutes." I sighed I forgot all about the phone call. I stood there for a second before I went and sat down on one of the kitchen chairs. I put my head in my hands and just sat there. I felt someone come sit in the chair next to me. I looked up to see Mayzie smiling a little bit at me. I smiled back at her.

We were already on the jet when I got a text message. It was from my older brother David

(D-David R-Racheal)

D- hi

R-hey. Are you guys alright?

D-No. Dylan and Ellie are confused. I haven't slept since it happened. What the f are we supposed to do? I'm not gonna be 18 for another 2 years. I don't want to go to a foster home

R- Anthony is adopting us. He's coming to sign papers

D-He agreed to that?

R-Yeah he told the dectective guy.

D-oh, how are you holding up with all this

R-not . She wouldn't want us to be sad. I've been trying to keep myself from crying but I feel like i'm going insane.

D-it's alright, this happened way to quick. It's still taking me time to really get my head wrapped around it.

R-this is just horriable. I just don't know what to do, say, or feel.

D-I know. When will you guys be here?

R-three hours

D-Ok where at the local police station. The one that is 4 blocks from the house

R-alright i'll see you soon.

D-yeah

I was so confused by everything. I didn't know what to do. I felt like I was worrying everybody by how calm i seemed. Inside I felt like I wanted to run away. I just wanted to run from everybody and everything. I started crying. Mayzie and Anthony came over an sat next to me they didn't say anything. Anthony grabbed my hand. We were all silent for the rest of the flight.

We off the plane an in a taxi. Mayzie told the driver where to go. It was about a ten minute ride. When we pulled up to the station Anthony paid the driver and I started walking inside. I seen Ellie, Dylan, and David sitting in a little corner. David got up and ran and hugged me. David started crying and then Dylan and Ellie came. Their eyes were swollen I started crying. There was a man standing behind us. He walked up after I pulled away from David and them. He held out his hand and said "I'm detective Simon, i'm very sorry for your loss." I nodded and then he said "We need to talk to the man that I talked to when I called." Anthony stepped up and said "That was me." Simon nodded and said "Right, if you follow me. We'll get the papers ready." Anthony walked away and I turned to Dylan and Ellie. Dylan looked at me and said "Where is mom and dad?" I looked down and said "Their gone." Dylan and Ellie started crying again. I looked back to see Mayzie with her head down I walked over and hugged her. She whispered "I'm so sorry Racheal." I whispered back "It's ok."

After about twenty minutes Anthony and the Simon guy walked toward all of us. Anthony looked at me and smiled a bit. Det. Simon smiled and said "Well the papers are finished. You guys are free to go." I didn't say anything. Anthony started walking out the door and we all followed him. We got a taxi again. We were heading to my house.

When we pulled in front there was the yellow "do not cross" tape all over. I got out of the car. There was two police officers sitting out front. They stood up and the short one said "May I help you?" I nodded and said "Yeah this is my house, we came to get some of our things." Anthony stepped up and showed some papers. The police officers uncovered the front door and opened it. We all walked in. I started heading toward my room. I grabbed some pictures, clothes, makeup, posters, books, stuffed animals, and some jewelry. I stepped into my parents room. I walked over to my moms closet. I opened it i grabbed some of her jewelry so i could remember her. I started crying when I found some photo albums. I sat on the carpet and started flipping thru them. David, Ellie, and Dylan walked in and they all came and sat next to me grabbed a photo album for themselves. We all silentley cried until Anthony came in. We all stood up and started walking back downstairs. We all had a lot of bags filled with our stuff. The police officers looked at us and said "We'll call a truck for you guys. They'll be here in about ten to fifteen minutes. " I nodded and said "Thank you." They gave us a slight smile and walked out. I didn't want to be in the house anymore so I walked out to the front yard. I went and sat down on the grass. I felt someone sit down next to me. It was ellie and she was holding a baby doll our mom had gotten her when Ellie was three years old. I grabbed Ellie and sat her on my lap. I hugged and her and whispered "it's gonna be alright." Ellie turned around and hugged me.

(Alright so a sad chapter but the romance will return in the next chapter with Racheal and Mingus. I thought this would be a good chapter to show how racheal and her siblings are doing with their latest loss which was really sad for me to write. Thank you guys for reading though. This really means a lot to me. <3)
