My True Love

Chapter Eleven

New Years went and passed. Me and Sam stayed in for the celebration and had the night to ourselves. It's February when I got a devastating call from my dad.
"Bea, he's here," he said without saying hi.
"Ok I'm coming try as hard as you can not to let him in," I said. I quickly got my coat on when Sam stopped me.
"Hey, what the matter?"
"My brother finally showed up, I need to go," I said putting my shoes on.
"Well I'm coming," he said grabbing his jacket. I nodded and we ran out to the car. The whole car ride I was nervous to see Emmett, It's been years.
"So tell me about your brother," Sam said.
"Well he's a psychotic asshole, he almost killed me once," I said.
"Is that what those scars are on your back?" He asked.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I was scared it would bring you back to something dark."
"Well thank you. And yeah, he would hit me with bike chains, and would burn me. The worst part was, he was my little brother."
"Was?"
"Now he's just a person I wish I never knew." We pulled up to the house and I basically sprinted inside.
"Dad!" I called out.
"In the living room dear!" He called back. I went upstairs and there he was Emmett.
"Hey big sis, who's this?" He asked looking at Sam.
"This is my boyfriend, Sam," I said.
"C'mon no hug from your little brother?" He asked.
"You're barely my brother," I said. "Anyway, why are you out?"
"I'm all better now, Bea," I shivered at his words.
"You are not better, you said that last time then you ended up back that hospital you should just go back."
"Bea, stop it and I am sorry for the things I did."
"Sorry doesn't cut it Emmett."
"She's kind of an asshole huh?" Emmett asked looking at Sam and my dad.
"Don't say that about her," Sam said.
"Oh please what are you gonna do about it?" Emmett said getting into his face.
"Emmett back off," dad said.
"No! Why can't you guys forgive me?" He asked.
"Because you are not yourself anymore! You haven't been since you were thirteen," dad snapped. It went quiet then Emmett just sighed.
"I come here to try and make amends with you guys but you just push me away, I did those things when I wasn't in my right mind, and I'm trying to say sorry for them," he said. It went quiet again. Maybe he really did get better, how would I know for sure?
"I don't know Emmett. It's hard to believe you," I said.
"I know and I will make it up to you. I have my own place and a job, I swear I will make it up to you," he said. He went in for a hug then I thought I'd give in and hug him back. My dad was still reluctant but gave him a hug as well.
"Alright, well I'm gonna go," I said. "And you are sure."
"I'm sure, stop worrying," Emmett said. I said bye to my dad when I saw Emmett talking to Sam.
"I'm sorry," Emmett said with his hand out. Sam hesitated but he shook it. Sam nodded then we left.
"Well that was a nice family reunion," Sam said when we got in the car.
"Yeah, real fun," I said. We drove back home and went to bed but I couldn't sleep, I was too worried. Every little sound I heard, I jumped thinking maybe Emmett didn't change he was only saying that. I was awake almost all night, but finally at four AM I was tried and fell asleep. When I woke at at twelve o'clock Sam wasn't home, he went work. He left me a note saying he couldn't wake me up so he just let me sleep.
I decided to go to the café where me and Sam first hung out. When I got there Alice practically ran into my arms.
"Oh Bea, it's been too long. I guess with that boyfriend of yours you became too cool for me," she said.
"I could never run out on you Alice. He's at work and I felt like seeing you," I said.
"My break is in 5 minutes go sit and I'll bring you something," she said. I sat where I always sit, by the window. Minutes later Alice returned with a coffee that she handed to me.
"Thank you Alice. So how was your New Year?" I asked.
"It was good, I went to a bar," she said. "How long have you and Sam been together?"
"A year in two months."
"Wow, if I'm being honest I thought after that day you guys weren't going to see each other again. No offense."
"None taken, just he was different, all my past boyfriends never made me feel good the way he does."
"So when's the babies?"
"Alice! We aren't even married yet."
"I know, I know, I better be invited to the wedding."
"Of course, you can be maid of honor."
"Really? Wow I've never been to a wedding."
"Ok now you're lying to me." We laughed and I stayed and talked with her until Sam got off work. I hugged Alice after a couple hours of being there and I walked to the building Sam worked at. As I was walking I had a flashback of when I first met Sam, it was weird though it felt like I was back there. My head started to spin and I felt confused, I then found myself on the ground with someone standing over me, a small old man.
"Are you ok young lady?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine, what happened?" I asked.
"You were just standing there then fell over, I was the only one to cared to stop and help, do you need an ambulance?" He asked.
"No, I'll be fine I didn't really eat anything today, thank you sir," I smiled a small smile.
"Alright then, go get yourself something, it's on me." He then pulled out five dollars and before I could object he walked away. I smiled to myself and put it in my pocket. I walked into Sam's building and waiting in the lobby.
"Hey beautiful, what are you doing here?" I heard Sam ask as he walked up behind me.
"Hey handsome, just wanted to bring my favourite man a snack... It's me I'm the snack," I smiled.
"Well it's a good thing I'm starving," he said. I smiled and we got home as fast we could and went to bed together. We stayed there for hours have deep talks and fun talks, I really wanted to marry this boy.
