Next part of Chapter 17
‘She’s what, Vickie, God help me if you’re lying!’ David said coldly
‘And why the hell would I be as SICK as in to LIE about my mother’s DEATH!?!?’ I screamed, did he really think I was mentally ill?? Terry hadn’t said anything yet but was looking very pale in the face and slightly light headed, he started swaying and gripped the couch for support.
‘I can’t believe she’s dead’ he whispered to himself over and over again while sinking to the ground holding his head between his knees. Suddenly he sprung up from his position on the floor and was very red in the face ‘SHE HATES ME!!!’ he shouted
‘Calm down son’ David tried to sooth, but it wasn’t working
‘How can you tell me to calm down when the last thing I said to her before I went to jail was, I hate you. I never got the chance to say that I loved her, and now she has gone to heaven thinking that I hate her when I don’t, I love her so much’ he said with tears in his eyes.
‘No no no, you’ve got it all wrong, she knows that you love her and she loves you too, she told me to tell all of you, that she loves her children no matter what mistakes they’ve made in life she will always forgive them and love them’ I said on the verge to crying myself.
‘Really?’ He asked
‘Yes! And she also wanted for you and the others to come together as a family and sort out your differences, please, for her, it was her last wish. She wanted to go knowing that her kids where together to look after each other’ I smiled at him and pulled him into a hug for the first time in so many years. There was a knock on the door breaking up our family moment, I went to answer it and found my brothers at the door, I squealed (never mention it to anyone!) and jumped into Dylan’s arms since he was the closest, then Chase, then Paul, the Dave and lastly Mike.
‘Yay you found me!’ I said happily, tbh I didn’t even know where I was myself.
‘It wasn’t that hard, the internet is a very helpful place’ Dylan replied with a wink and I just laughed. Suddenly Mike stormed into the house and headed straight towards David
‘Son’ he said, Mike didn’t even reply he just punched him square in his jaw the said
‘Daddy’ sarcastically. That was the highlight of my day, I started to crack up, I’ve wanted to do that for 6 years. Mike turned to Terry ‘you kidnapped you own sister for this bastard?’ he asked sourly. Terry stuttered then shut his mouth, Mike raised his fist to punch terry, but I jumped in the way and held my arms out to stop him
‘What are you doing Vick? He’s mentally unstable; I need to knock some sense into him’
‘The only reason he done it, was because he thought it would bring this family back together. This is one of the most messed up family’s I have come across and I’m sick of it. All mum ever wanted was for this family to patch up their troubles. Our mother lay on her death bed and had one dying wish, for her kids to be a proper family can we not at least try to make her last wish come true, please, for mum’ I pleaded. Everyone was silent until there was a loud smash coming from the kitchen, we all ran to see what it was. We found Josh with glass shattered at his feet and he started crying I quickly picked him up and cuddled him in my chest and took him over to the sink and washed his hand because he had a little scratch on his hand
‘Who’s kid is that’ Chase asked
‘Mine now’ I replied like it was normal
‘Waaa???’ they all said at the same time
