Don't Let Me Go {My Immortal Series Book 2}

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

Niall POV

I paced around the house, not knowing what else to do. Anne wasn’t Harry’s? How could that have been? What all has Jillian been planning? Certainly she had to have known about all this, the bitch always talks about how psychic she is with being a witch and all that. I just think of her as more of a bitch and someone I would kill first if I had the chance to do so.

“Andy, explain,” I said once I came back to reality and out of my hatred for Jillian.

“It-it’s kind of hard to explain. I don’t know what happened.”

“Then how is Harry even alive right now? And how do you know she’s not Harry’s? She looks exactly like him.” I couldn’t keep up with what’s going on anymore. There’s just one blow right after another and once I find somewhat of a solution to the first blow, someone always comes up behind and hits me there. How I was handling this so well is beyond me but I feel as though I can’t give up.

“Well, in the spell that Aunt Jill did, no contact was made. She didn’t even draw his blood. That’s how I know. And there’s more. I’ve been studying witchcraft with her. She wanted someone to continue the legacy and bloodline so I gave it a go. So that also means that Anne is not only human.”

“She’s a witch as well,” I said as I finally confirmed it. Harry wasn’t part of any of this or needed. Jillian was strong enough to even make Andy pregnant without having any contact with another male. She just used Harry as basically a little canvas for her artwork. I didn’t know what pissed me off more.

“Are you mad at me,” she asked, all innocently.

I sighed. “I’m not exactly happy with you at the moment,” I said, holding the bridge of my nose and closing my eyes. “No more contact with Aunt Jill, do you hear me? I mean it, Andy. I don’t like her and I do have my reasons.”

“You never expressed what those are though. And I don’t see how it’s fair that you’re making me stop talking to her when she is my aunt after all.”

“Fair? You might look grown up but last time I checked, you are still only two years old. You shouldn’t even be doing the things you are now if I had anything to do with it. You would’ve grown up normally and I wouldn’t have to worry about boys with you let alone children. And no, I’m still not over the fact that you chose my best friend after all that. I know it’s in the prophecy or whatever but I’m still the only one who hasn’t lost their human values.”

It was surprising to me how I kept all of that in. I hadn’t even talked about it for the longest time. And I knew it hurt her the way it was coming out like it was directed towards her when it wasn’t. Finally, I exploded. Finally, I had had enough.

“Dad,” she said after a while, her voice cracking. She was on the verge of tears.

“Andy, no. I didn’t mean-“

“It’s alright,” she said after a while. “I’m okay.” Right after, her line went dead and I knew right then that she wasn’t going to be okay. In a sense, she’s just like Lilly and thinks that way as well. I was hoping that she wasn’t going to do something so rash as to take her life away. I didn’t want that nor would I be able to even live with the guilt. I had to go over there and find her, to at least apologize and tell her that I didn’t mean it at all and that I was sorry that I let stress get to me. She was the best thing to ever happen to me, taking place right in front of meeting the lads. And right behind them, meeting Lilly.
