My Silly Mistake

Part Twenty-seven

***Emma***

I'm unable to sleep at all. I've been pacing to and fro just waiting for the sound of the door opening to reveal my mother and my sister. It's almost four in the morning and I'm running out of patience. Oh God, I hope everyone is okay.

My mind drifts off to earlier and I face palm regretting my actions. I  shouldn't have said that to him.... I should have been more careful. How am I even going to face him afterwards. A pang of hurt hits me at how angry he looked after I had impulsively said those words. I sigh and sit down on the couch placing my head in my hands....it's okay if he doesn't feel the same way, I'll definitely get over him...right?

I hear the door jingle and I immediately flinch from my seat looking expectantly to reveal what I'm guessing it is. It opens wider and Zander slowly steps in. He looks shocked to see me, but it's immediately wiped off his face and he glares at me walking off without uttering a word. I try calling him but stop when what happened between us earlier flashes in my mind.  

I freeze when I hear a voice that I've missed for a very long time. Joan......

I smile running to her and hug, her roughly stroking her hair. She cries in my chest and I also follow her lead. I lift my eyes and see Austin standing there smirking down at me. I mouth a thank you to him. He nods and walks away following his brother. Hunter also walks in smiling when he sees Joan and I together he nods at me leaving the both of us alone. I pull away looking into my sister's eyes.

I wipe the tears away from her face. "Joan, oh my God, are you alright?"

She nods vigorously and holds my wrists on her face. "I'm sorry Emma, I should have listen-"

"Shh...it's alright my dear" I whisper in to her ears.

"Mom...she's a monster!" She gritted.

She saw her?.

"You saw mom?" I ask her.

She nods. "Yes and I heard from her own mouth confessing the evil that she did. Can you believe she killed father!" She says, yelling at some point.

I nod. "I know. Thanks to these people we would never have known anything. Where is she?"

"They locked her up in the prison. My savior said you can meet her tomorrow"

My heart stops when I hear that. I will meet her tomorrow?. I wished there was another way we could have met again. Wait.... Who's the savior she's talking about?
"Which saviour?" I ask her.

Her eyes widen as she smiles. A real one this time. It's been a while since I saw her smile like that. "Oh, you didn't see him...he walked in earlier!" She enthused.

Oh...but I thought he didn't want me to meet her. Did he change his mind?

I rub her chin. "Forget everything. You need to rest" I say dragging her along with me to my room.

Will everything come back to normal?. How can everything come back to normal? After waiting for so many years to reunite with our parents and this just had to happen. There is no way Zander will like me...after all I'm the daughter of a murderer.....my parents killed his parents. It's quite obvious that hatred is still alive. It spreads from my parents all the way to I and my sister... It hurt a lot. I never thought that I'd fall for him. Ever.

And I don't think I might fall for someone else...

"Emma" Joan says cutting my thoughts. I look at her and smile.

"I'm really sorry..." She says breaking down again.

I pat her back sitting her down on the bed. I tuck her in and peck her cheek. "I already told you. It's fine, I understood you even I would have done the same."
