strangers in love

chapter 65

AMELIAS POV
We finally landed and Emma and I barely talked on the flight. I felt bad but I knew if she said the wrong thing I'd snap and that would be worse. We both got up and I called Owen real quick.
"Hey we just landed," I said.
"Okay," he said, "I love you."
"I love you too," I said, "how're the kids?"
"They're Fine Amelia," he chuckled, "No need to worry."
"Okay," I said. I heard Asher crying in the background and I frowned.
"Hey gotta go love you," he said.
"Love you too," I said and he hung up.
"So," Emma said.
"So," I said.
"Are you going to talk to him?" She asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Really?" She said.
"Yes," I said.
"Okay," she said and we walked to our rental car to drop our stuff at the hotel. I noticed she was glued to her phone and I figured she was texting Mike.
"What's Mike up to?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Uh he's visiting his older sister today," she said.
"Oh that's nice," I said.
"Yeah," she said.
"You know it's not that I don't like him," I said, "I just don't like his decisions."
"Okay whatever that means," she said.
"Anyway what are you even going to say to Spencer," I said. She looked at me and I knew she didn't want to tell me.
"It's private stuff," she said and slouched in the passenger seat.
"Fine then," I said and pulled into the hotel parking lot. I got the key cards and we dropped our stuff of in the hotel and then got back in the car to now go see Spencer. We were both silent on the way there and Emma was just looking out the window. I figured I was going to let her talk to him first since she begged me to come here anyway. We pulled in the parking lot and I instantly regretted the decision from looking at the building.
"Okay you're not touching anything, or talking to anyone except your father okay?" I said, "and make sure you have your phone or give it to me."
"I'll just leave it in the car," she said.
"Okay," I said. We both got out and I really had to will myself to walk into the prison. We had to go through security first before we could actually see him.
"You're going first," I said. Emma looked at me and she nodded.
"Okay," she said. They finally let us see Spencer and I watched Emma run over to where he was and sat across from him.
EMMAS POV
This was the first time I've seen my dad in over a year. I sat down across from him and picked up the phone to talk to him since we were separated by glass.
"Oh my god Emma you look so old now," he said. I started crying and smiled at him.
"I miss you so much," I said.
"So how'd you get Amelia to bring you here?" He asked.
"We fought a lot," I said, "and Owen convinced her."
"Is Owen the boyfriend?" He asked.
"Fiancé," I said.
"Ah," he said, and I could tell he was hurt.
"Dad Seattle sucks," I said, "I have this boyfriend Mike, he drinks a lot, and now I do sometimes and mom and Owen hate him and my life is just a mess."
"Oh honey," he said, "don't drink, it's not good for you, and this boy? Is he nice?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Well I'll tell you what, if your mother doesn't like him, he's probably bad news, but if he makes you happy, make the right decisions with him and you'll be happy," he said.
"I miss how it use to be," I sighed, "the five of us."
"I know I do too," he said, "how're Izzy and Joey?"
"They're good," I said.
"Do they still ask about me?" He asked.
"Yeah," I lied.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you too," I said.
"I'm glad you came," he said, "I really miss you guys."
"We miss you too," I said.
"How's your mom been?" He asked, I knew he was still in love with her.
"She's good," I said.
"And Owen," he said, "is he good to her?"
"Yes very," I said.
"Well that's good," he said.
"I miss you so much," I said.
"I miss you more," he said. The guards said there was only 2 minutes left and I really said all I needed to say so I figured my mom could talk to him.
"I'll send my mom over," I said.
"Okay, just remember, make good decisions with this boy emma," he said, "and that I always love you."
"I love you too," I said and put the phone down and my mom smiled and came in and sat down. I was really hoping they wouldn't fight.
AMELIAS POV
I saw Emma get up and that meant now I had to go talk to Spencer. I sat down and he smiled at me. Prison really changed him physically and it broke my heart. I smiled back and picked up the phone.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey," he said, "thanks for coming."
"Yeah," I said.
"So How's Owen? Joey? Izzy?" He said.
"They're good," I said.
"So he's your fiancé?" He said, and the way he said it I knew it hurt him and I felt bad.
"Yeah," I said, "actually we have a son, Asher."
"Oh," He said.
"Yeah," I said, and for some reason I was fighting not to cry because I did miss Spencer in my life, not romantically, but as the good father to my kids that he was.
