The Forbidden Love

Chapter 21

~Emily's POV~

'Your mother is gone.' Kept replaying in my head over and over again. There was absolutely no way she was gone. I felt tears slip from my eyes as my mate came running to me. "Darling what's the matter?!" Warren asked worriedly as he wrapped his arms around me.

"M..my mother is dead." I felt weak in my knees. I couldn't stand. My vision was extremely blurry from all the tears. Warren picked me up and sat me down on the porch swing. He said nothing, he just held me close.

*6 MONTHS LATER*

I looked around my room as it was completely empty. I only had a few boxes left to bring to the car. I sighed to myself and a tear slipped. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and saw my dad looking at me sadly. "Do you have to move out so soon...?" He spoke with sadness. I nodded.

"I don't deserve to be in this house.. when I'm the reason mom is dead.." Tears fell from my eyes and I looked away, not being able to face him. "Don't you ever say that! It's not your fault sweetheart. If you went with her that day, you'd be gone too.. there was way too many of them for the both of you to handle by yourselves." I hugged him crying. He hugged back and petted my head. "Shhhh.."

Warren came in and looked at us. He cleared his throat. "It's time to go darling." I smiled weakly and nodded then kissed my dads cheek and grabbed the last couple boxes. I went out to the car, following behind me was Warren and my dad.

Warren got everything ready and then got in the car. My dad grabbed my hand. "Sweetheart please stay." I looked at him. "I'm sorry Dad.. I can't.." he sighed and hugged me. "Fine. . . But promise you'll visit a lot." I nodded. "Of course!"

I got in the car and buckled up. "Warren don't forget to have her take her meds every morning!"
"Dad! I can remember myself!" He chuckled. "You are very forgetful. I'm just making sure you don't try to do anything again.. those meds will help you with your depression." I nodded. "Thanks dad." I waved bye as he waved back.

Warren and I drove off. I looked in the review mirror. It was hard for me to leave my childhood home. But it was time for me to grow up and move on from the past. It's only been 6 months.. but it feels like forever..
