Because I had you

Chapter Thirty~ Epliouge

Four years after.

Lana's P.O.V

Erick placed his hand on top of mine on my thigh as I looked down at the menu, a grin sat on my face as I caught his hand in the corner of my eye.

"Car, come on, sit down quietly."Hannah said as she let out a frustrated sigh.

"Carina, carino, please sit down otherwise I'm not getting you the chocatcle pudding."Joel said with a stern tone as he looked at Carina with a look.

She looked at Erick, she let out a huff. "Tio, tell my mummy and daddy."

"Carina, you can't wonder around like this."Erick said as he looked at her with a look."Imagine if we lost you, then what are we going to do?"

"Tio Chris isn't going to come look for you."Chris said as he sat down next to me."You would be long gone before we can find you."

"Imagine how much it'll make your mummy and daddy sad that they don't have you anymore."I added with a sad expression on my face. "Imagine how sad we will be if we don't have you."

Carina nodded. "I don't want anyone to take me, I'll stay here then."

She jumped onto Joel's lap, she grabbed his hands and played with his fingers.

"How come Halayna and Zabdiel are taking long? And where's Richard?"Chris asked as he picked up a breadstick and began to chomp on it loudly.

Erick moved his hand off my hand, he pulled out his phone as I looked at my hand in awe.

"Zabdiel did say in the groupchat that'll they'll be a little late."Erick said as his eyes were focused on his phone. "Richard hasn't messaged at all."

"Message him then."Chris said in a duh tone.

I turned to Chris and looked at him with a smile. "What happened to Alice?"

"She's still in Canada."Chris replied with a sigh."She's coming on Monday."

"That's three days away, you've waited a week, you can wait three more days."I said with a smile on my face.

"Which means I'm on your couch for three more days."Chris said with a grin on his face.

I let out a soft chuckle, then Richard walked into the room with a girl on his arm.

He looked at us. "Sorry we are late, but this is Martina."He said with a beaming smile on his face.

"Hi."She said with a wave.

"Hi."We all said, looked at her in shock because Richard didn't mention this at all.

Richard sat down by Erick with Martina by him, Hannah looked at me then looked at her and began a conversation with her.

"Where's Halayna? I actually miss her."I said as I let out a sigh. "It's been two weeks since I've seen her."

"Let's just say, she's gone really erm how do I phrase this properly?"Chris said with a look on his face.

"Shut up Chris, she still looks the same."Joel said as he rolled his eyes at Chris playfully.

"Zabdiel is having hell from her for deffo though."Chris added with a nod.

As if on cue, Zabdiel walked in with Halayna trailing behind him with a look on her face.

She sat down across me, by Joel with Zabdiel sat next to her.

She looked at Richard with a confused look, to see martina sat next to him.

"It's one of the new ones."Joel whispered to her.
