Ryan's POV:
There she was in the room, she looks straight at me but not right past me. Her eyes where sympathetic with a hint of anger. I deserved every right to be yelled at right now, but she didn't. The rest of the guys gave her space it was just me, Brendon, and Elise... my daughter. She looked tired and probably so did I. I tried talking but words couldn't come out. The room right now is black and white with hues of blue.
All I could say was sorry, why is it so easy saying into text rather than to say it out loud. Muffled was the atmosphere, to me it's like seeing a loved one back from the dead.
"What am I to you?" She says.
"Everything." I said looking down with a tone like I was asking myself.
I knew I didn't have explain anything to her, she already knows what went down to me and Keltie so what's the point. I could tell she was already afraid of me, I am also afraid. Old words and memories shot through my brain.
"What are you going to do with me?" She asks.
"Do?" I ask confused.
"You aren't gonna get me back?" She said softly.
"Why would I do that? You have Brendon, he's a much better father than I ever was. I don't deserve you." I said looking down at my feet.
"Me and your mother thought we could last. We tried, we ended up going insane in the end. She took you away from me, I never got that chance to say goodbye. I tried looking for you,I begged your mom for me to visit, but she wouldn't let me I didn't understand why. I know you don't have to love me, you guys deserve every right to be mad at me I-" Suddenly her arms wrapped around my body.
I immediately sobbed as I felt her warm embrace. Why is she doing this? I don't understand. Even so, it felt nice.
"You don't have to pity me." I choked.
She didn't say anything, Brendon watched us as she hugged me tighter. She was crying but she didn't want to show it I just felt my shirt gradually getting wet.
"All I ever needed was a parent's love." She mumbled.
"Do you even love me?" She ask.
"I love you will all my heart... both of you." I told her.
She went back to Brendon and hugged him. Knowing that she's alive and safe that more than enough for me.
*Time skip
Everyone went back, they had discharged Brendon from the hospital. She could tell she was trying avoid me and Brendon. She had been talking to the rest of the guys and giving casual quick glances to us. Alex was relieved to see her she ended up smiling... a genuine smile. It's nice knowing that she isn't trying to hard this time.
We ate, she talked, he joked, we smiled. It's nighttime, she looks just like her mother. Beautiful. One thing we had in common is that we were awkward around people. I sat alone with thoughts, this was too much for our brains. Most people just want to forgive and forget, I don't want to forget.
She looks at me again like she wants to say something to me. The next thing I knew she sat beside me. The look on her face was telling me that she wanted to listen to whatever I was going to say. The three of us, you, me, and Brendon are in a very complicated position but she looked determined to face it.
"Today... I saw cancer, cigarettes, and shortness of breath. This is why I walk to the ocean. Swim with sharks and jellyfish. I may never get this chance again. This is why if you want to kiss, you should kiss. If you want to cry, you should cry. And if you want to live, you should live. You don't have to love me. You already did." I say to her mindlessly.
"What are you thinking right now." she asks.
"Thinking that this might the last time you'd talk to me properly." I told her truthfully, she nodded.
"When I was out there all alone, I kept thinking of you guys. You... Brendon... At first I was mad but then I realized it wasn't really your fault now was it? I kept debating if I should go back or not..." She suddenly explained.
"Truth is can't stay mad at you forever. Unfortunately, I'm too soft." She giggled at herself tying her best to cheer up the mood.
She looks at the sky with a petite posture she grabs my hand and squeezes it tightly.
"I-I w-wanna get know you more if that's... um... okay." She stutters.
A smile crept on my face. We are back to square one, but this time it's different.
