The story of my life (wattys2019)

Chapter 48

"Guys wait here, I'll talk to him alone." I said and the both nodded.

I hesitatingly sat beside him, "hey." Was all I manage to say.

"Lex?" He stare wide eyes at me.

"Y-yeah," I looked away.

"Am so glad you came if you know how terrible I feel for doing all that to you." He spoke softly, unlike the Tony I use to know.

"I guess," I couldn't make eye contact with him, I kept a straight face.

"What happened? I mean, how are you out and why did you send me that note?"

He sigh, "after you told me I was forgiven and you left, I felt really bad but still kept my opinion on you, then one day, I was seating in the prison yard when those three men came to me, they were preachers, Sharing the gospel of Christ, at first I drove them away but the kept coming, preaching to everyone about Christ and how he forgives all sins, the way he can make you happy in your days of trouble, and those words the spoke intrigued me, I wanted to know more and I ended up accepting Christ, coming into the realization that I have sinned all my life. I became well behaved and was free because of that, instead of five I spent two years and half months in jail.

He stayed in silence for a while before speaking up. "Am really sorry for all I did to you, for crushing your childhood and everything! I didn't want to accept the fact that I was becoming a father, I didn't see the good side of things, and I ended up spoiling your life just like my father did. Are you willing to give me a second chance? So I can sort things out and catch up with time?"

I sigh still not meeting his eyes, "I don't know, I've forgiven you but you hurt and broke my trust so many times," I sigh.

"I understand, thanks for coming." He stared at his foot.

I bit my lip in confusion and sigh heavily, "o-okay, am giving you one more chance." I stare deep in his eyes and saw guilt.

"Thank you," he smiled cheerfully.

"I'll start by taking you to the amusement park to start, I'll catch up all this time I missed." He grinned.

"Uh, my friends are with me, I'll like them to come if you good." I spoke softly, even if he's turn to good, am a little bit scared of those eyes of his.

"Yeah am good!" He grinned.

The rest of the day was spent in roller coaster, scary ride, etc.

Jeremy and Louis got to see the good side of Tony, I kept a little distance but did enjoy the day.

We drove home after dropping tony three blocks down.

We walked through the front door giggling, James the Butler ask if we needed help but we gladly said no.

"Where have you guys been?" Charlie appeared from nowhere looking really serious.

"Uh, from the amusement park," I answered nonchalantly.

"Grandma said you where going to the park, that was nine hours ago." He tapped his clock.

"Yeah, we went to the park then the amusement park, we're sorry for not calling."

"No, is good, but don't do such again, understood?"

"Yeah!" We replied in uniform, before running off to our various room.

That night I slept comfortably with sweet dreams.

Two weeks went by quickly, I continue to see Tony in secret most of the times alone, and I think he appreciated when I came alone. For the first time in years Tony giggled, hugged me and told me he loved me.
