Alison's POV:
These last few months have been difficult for The family and Mason, we decided to have him wait until he's 18 to use the car or drive his motorcycle, he wasn't too happy about that but, us as parents gave him to much space then, Emily was paranoid so we soundproof the bedroom. No sound come in and no sounds come out. Mason mentally and physically is still the fighter we know but emotionally..he won't even talk to us. Me and Emily think he went into a deep depression phase during his physical therapy sessions, it started when there was an incident in the pool a few weeks into his recovery.
He nearly drowned scaring the shit out of me and Emily. We can tell it's broke him more than it broke us, he hasn't touch the water since. The kids constantly went to go visit him which that made him happy, he always kept his spirit up around his siblings on the other hand he completely shut out Alexandria for months. We haven't seen her since the trial, the guys who attacked and shot Mason were found and thrown in prison. Mason was charged with self defense winning a grip of money in his name so he's set for life to do whatever he wants without me and Emily's help. Alexandria been calling but he won't answer, he won't see her during visiting hours...We don't know how to fix this.. maybe he feels weak and embarrassed at what she said under oath.
Today is the day he gets to come home, I think he's happy to be coming home, you know to be with his family or sleep in his own bed. I looked into the rearview mirror watching him glance out the window, all his bruises and wounds haven't properly healed yet, so it's hard for Me and Em to see him like this. He can walk on his own if you give him time, and he can feed himself...again if you give him time.
We approach our front gate causing me to punch in the code sending The gates to open up widely, "God I've missed that," I heard Mason mumble under his breath sending me to smirk. I pulled into the garage causing the kids to hop out instantly and run inside, "Mason would you like some help ?" I asked politely as I looked at him gently. He shook his head and got out the car slowly, I took a breather while Emily and I opened the door for him, "Thanks moms," He said sweetly and walked in taking his time. "I'm gonna get lunch started," I heard Emily say while pecking my cheek. I nodded in response as I went to go spend time with my babies.
Mason's POV:
I've been in hell, I can't swim..I can barely do anything.. the doctors say I still have to go to physical therapy because my body isn't the same anymore. I'm broken from the inside out & I haven't seen Alexandria in months. She probably hates me, good I wouldn't want her to see me like this anyway. She deserves someone who can take care of her and that's not me.
Moments later the doorbell rang sending my mom for it as my eyes trailed her, I couldn't tell who was at the door. "Mason you have company," Alison said hesitantly while walking back into the room causing me to lay my eyes on the love of my life. She looks like she hasn't slept in days and I can tell she lost a lot of weight. I did this to her...I looked down in shame. " Hey babe, I'm glad to see you're okay" Alexandria said softly as she broke silence. I nodded slowly, "Thanks Alex..." I said sincerely as I heard her breath hitch realizing I didn't call her babe. "Can we talk please ?.." She asked while holding back her tears.
Looking at my mom she definitely got the memo, "Kids go into your room give your brother his privacy I'll be in the kitchen with your mom Mason," Alison said while my brother and sister left upstairs. I looked at Alexandria walk over to me, "I've been driving myself crazy Mason why haven't you been answering my calls ?" She asked curiously making me look away from her eyes. "Alexandria you could've gotten hurt that day.. I should've listen to you..you deserve someone better than me," I confessed sadly while playing with my fingers "You were right and wrong on the stand...I could've easily gotten us both killed but I attacked him first.. why lie for me," I continued to express myself while Alex tried to look into my eyes, "Mason I love you I don't want anyone else but you..that's why I lied okay you can't give me a love like this and then take it away," Alexandria said depressingly causing me to look at her, "Look at me Alexandria I can barely take care of myself I nearly died, getting shot and trying to swim I can't ever be the guy I was before, I can't show my face at school..and I can't be your boyfriend," I confessed while fighting back my tears.
Alexandria combed through her hair as she wiped her tears, " Listen to me... you wasn't just my boyfriend, you're my Best Friend and you're my soulmate we are meant to be together I've known you all my life. I wasn't with you because you were a great swimmer or because your family is rich I was with you because you're a great guy that I'm in love with, I'm in love with the guy who saved me from getting violated... please don't leave me, whatever we're going through we can get through it," Alexandria confessed while sobbing uncontrollably. It's broke my heart seeing her like this because it was true, she is my Best Friend and is my soulmate I can't picture a life without her in it. "How can I protect you like this.." I asked while sobbing as she looked into my eyes combing through my hair, "With time and patience," she said sweetly causing my heart to melt "I love you Alexandria," I barely spoke while she connected our lips together.
Emily's POV:
I was making the family lunch when I heard Alison open the door letting in Mason's guest. Of course it's was Alexandria coming to fight for her man which I give her props for, I don't see Mason with any other girl that's would be too weird. "Ah young love don't you love it," I heard Alison say in awe while she was eavesdropping, I looked up at her with a smirk while I finished off Carne Asada day. Alison came over to wrap her arms around me lovingly, "Don't you remember we were that young and crazy in love," My wife said knowingly receiving an enormous smile from me, "Were still that crazy in love just without the young part," I said jokingly causing Ali to smack my arm playfully. "We're not that old," She said arguing me down. I scrunch my eyebrows at her, "Were almost in our thirties babe," I said reminding her.
She put her hands over her ears like she couldn't hear me as I giggled at my childish wife. "So did you think about my suggestion ?" I asked her privately while holding her waist, her eyes were icy blue causing me to stare deeply into them. "I have... and I'm gonna say no.." She said calmly sending me to frown. "Babe you know how possessive I am, I wouldn't feel comfortable in a long run," She confessed her feelings which I nodded acceptingly at them. Alison gently pecked my lips softly sending a wave of chills through my body. Before she pulled away I cupped her face with one hand while cupping her ass in the other, kissing her lips passionately.
I heard Alison moan lightly into the kiss, "I do have something else in mind," She said in between our lips without breaking the kiss. I pulled away gently still staring into her eyes, "What's that ?" I asked sweetly while caress her face with my thumb. "How do you feel about handcuffs..." Alison asked seductively.
