Loving the great Adym Yorba (In Editing)

Chapter 9

*Two months later*

Today was the day we went shopping for a new house. It was honestly exciting, I've lived in the house were in now for about five years. Though that was the house where everything happened this house meant a new adventure, a new fresh start. This house had five bedrooms, around 5 bathrooms, two living rooms. And a kitchen, plus more rooms for like offices and stuff. Or at least that was the house we wanted. I really hope we got it too. The inside and outside was beautiful. it was everything I have ever dreamed of in a home.

I was scrolling through the furniture log when suddenly a boom sounded through the street. I walked to the door opening it and checking out to see if it was anything on our block. I rolled my eyes as it was only a couple teenagers throwing firecrackers outside. "What was it?" Adym questioned.

"A couple of damn teens.." I drifted off. "We need to go to the store, get the kids," I told him, slipping my shoes on over my feet. By the time I pulled my coat and grabbed the keys the kids and Adym were ready to go. Everyone headed outside to the car, I drove around the block, playing some music. My kids jamming out to whatever the hell was on at the moment.

About five minutes later we pulled up to the store only to find a car that looked strangely familiar crashed in the building, "stay here," was the only thing I said as I got out of my car. Then I saw her, I saw the one person that made my whole heart shatter into pieces. Lisa, I saw Lisa. Please don't be Layla. I screamed running over and past the yellow tape, I screamed at the sight of my best friend be dragged out of the car and put inside a body bag.

Tears ran down my face and I ran over to Lisa, police officers immediately stepping in front of her. "Please, thats my god daughter, thats Lisa," I shoved through them and grabbed Lisa, her forehead was cut and has a bandage but that was it, tears ran down her face the whole thing must have been processing for her. I'm not sure what happened but that was what I was willing to find out. Just today, today was one of the worst days.

I picked Lisa up, putting her on my hip and walking towards the truck, tears streaming down my cheeks. I placed Lisa in the car, Adym's face was filled with concerned. "Take them home," He only nodded and I shut the door driving off, walking up the sidewalk. Tears streamed down my face, my chest ached and I couldn't focus on what I was doing. I walked up the hill, trying to head back home. I couldn't it started to rain slightly and it dragged me down even more then I already was.

I felt cold, and lonely on the way back, it soon started pouring. I felt my tears rage up, I walked to the nearest tree and punched and kicked the shit out of it. Eventually I kept running, but it had to be around nine when I finally got home. I walked in, the living room lights were on and as I turned around, I found a pacing Adym. Along with a crying Samantha, and Lauren. I immediately went to my husband, holding him close to me as I cried my eyes out.

Eventually the world went black around me and I couldn't feel a thing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People around me balled their eyes out, kids, adults, seniors. We were in a church, an open casket ceremony. I couldn't stop the sobs that escaped my mouth. My best friend had died and their wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.

Lisa sat next to me sitting on Adym's lap, showing no emotion. Her mother and father had just died, and the only thing I could do was be there for her. I would take her in, treat her as if she was my own. I promised Layla I would do that when we were 15 years old. The twins were being baby sat by Sawyer. Samantha, and Lauren were on the side of me. Crying just as much as me as I cried into my hands. Though I felt weak, I got the courage to walk up to the casket. Anthony was in a casket right next to Layla's.

When I was finally at the bottom of the steps, I saw her...for the first time I saw her. Layla was pale, almost as if she was sleeping but very sick. Wearing her favorite dress...she hadn't grown out of it. Our dress from senior year, prom. Her dog tag, with an M on it, I reached my hand up to my dog tag, with an L on it. That's when I realized her, Layla's mother was there...not a tear in her eye. I was surprised. Before Lisa was born, Mrs. Carson kicked Layla out, for dating Anthony, and getting pregnant before marriage. So seeing her here, was a shock, yet I felt anger rush through me.

"What are you doing here?" My voice came out raspy, yet low, almost like a warning. I could feel her gaze on me, her eyes staring at me.

"Why, Madison. I haven't seen you in years," Her voice spaced off. Her voice had surprise in it, but I expected that.

"Why are you here Miranda? You know she wouldn't have wanted you here.." My voice came out the same way. I stared cold at the ground, I felt anger towards this women more then anything. I was gripping the pole on the coffin, my knuckles turning white.. but I knew she was thinking. I snapped my head over to her, I heard a sound I wasn't expecting to hear but it made me glare daggers at her. Cries, I heard her cries and anger rushed through me, spiked with adrenaline. She had no right to cry, not after she brought Layla to almost killing herself. Before I knew it, I didn't know what I did, I felt my arm swing up punching her right into a table, with glasses on it, the water tipping over and spilling. "You have no right to cry!" I screamed, I felt arms pull me back, tears ran down my cheeks.

I was suddenly eye to eye with Adym, his eyes filled with concern, but I could see through all of it, he was tired. Black circles under his eyes, but I couldn't help it. He looked around, people helping Miranda.

"lets get out of here alright?" Adym nodded more to himself then anybody, looking behind me at the mess. I was soon enough dragged out of the room and to the car. I don't know what happened after that. All I know is that she was gone, and I let my anger get the best of me.

Adym's POV

I opened the passenger door, scooping Madison up into my arms and leading her to the door of my house. It's not exactly the first time she's been like this, I felt sorry for her, though she didn't like it. Madison didn't like that she had to rely on me for everything. I was completely fine with it. I had more then enough money and I was grateful, I was rich enough to stay home with my wife and kids. Business trips every now and then.

Opening up the door to the house, I brought Madison in. The house was packed with boxes, the only thing good lately is the fact we got our new house. I followed the trail of stairs, taking a left to my room. Lisa was right behind me, staying close by still emotionless. I expected that from her, I didn't exactly know what that felt like, losing both of your parents...

I layed Madison on the bed, and observed her for a minute. Her eyes were swollen, bags under them. Her expression was sad, like she was depressed, in which she probably was. But for once, for the first time in a week she looked at peace. It was the only sleep shes gotten in a week.
