I can't realize what is happening now. My mind is frozen and my heart is broken, I'm lost...
Aiden :
Joshua?
Me :
Uh...
Aiden :
I dont like to see you feeling bad. Calm down...
(It hurts, too much...)
Me :
My grandmother...
Instantly I can feel tears that are burning my cheeks, my throat is so tight that I can barely breathe...
All of a sudden, two arms are embracing my shoulders and bringing me to someone, a woman.
Ashley :
Don't worry Joshua. Everything's going to be alright, I promise you. Remember who you are, a strong and kind man! And it's fine to cry, everyone is allowed to cry each times they need. But imagine your mother if she saw you crying like this... She'd have been more sad than you are... I'm here, calm down...
My eyelids close on their own, I didn't even notice how my mind and my body were relaxed thanks to Ashley... She is so soothing.
Me :
I'm good, thank you.
Ashley :
I don't know what happened, but~
Aiden :
Ashley, read this...
She reads the letter.
Me :
So, she left me... Well, but why?
Aiden :
Wait, just, why your grandma and not your mother?
Me :
Grandma used to tell me my parents went on a trip. They liked it so much that they decided to stay there, but they're still watching me... I was young, and now I know it's not true. I know I'll never see them again.
Aiden :
My grandparents loved yours, they always talked about them, they said they were so kind and heartwarming! Also I can't believe you stole my shield!
Me :
Oh, common! It wasn't me, valiant knight!
Aiden :
Hahaha, come here... My brother. I missed you so much. I feel sorry for you about the letter and all. But you have to recall that you always can count on me!
We're hugging each other, and it feels
good. I'm happy I met him again.
Ashley :
If I understood, your parents are dead... Sorry, and your grandmother raised you alone. Something went wrong so she asked some help to Aiden's family. His grandparents adopted you, and you lived with him for a while. That's all?
Aiden :
I just read another letter, and she had money problems... Your grandfather was sick, she had to pay his medicines, treatments were expensive and she was required to take care of you on top of all that... It must have been difficult. Even if you're rich there comes a day when the money ends up leaving and not coming back.
