Chapter 13

The whole service was beautiful and Bella looked radiant in her strappy wedding dress and updo hair.

It was a very romantic setting with the wind and waves singing their praises over their union.

Everybody looked happy dancing, singing, eating and drinking like there is no care to the world.

The best man and the maid of honor said their speeches which were filled with laughter and some tears.

The first dance had gone smoothly and I couldn't help but notice that Patrick took dance classes. When mister Fred had got up to dance with Bella, it was so emotional as both father and daughter were tearing up.

And now here I am sitting in the mansion with the page of the airline opened on my Mac deciding where to head to.

Should I go back to New York and stay till the end of the holiday with Jane or go back to Seattle with dad and try to mingle with my parents

"Here you are" my dad gave me a fright when he entered my room "i have been looking everywhere for you"

"I am right here dad"

"so, when is your flight?"

"I still don't know where I want to go"

After these words his face was filled with concern but then he looked at me and gave me a small smile "wherever you want to go, your mom and I will always support you"

"I know dad"

"We love you and you are our top priority that will never change, we will always be here" we both got into silence for a few seconds looking at the clear sky filled with stars through the window. "well I will go to have some scotch with your uncle as we are flying early tomorrow" he said getting up

"Dad" he turned and looked at me "I love you both so much"

He smiled genuinely  "Don't stay up too long. You tired yourself today" and with that he closed the door after him

I reached for the Mac deciding where I want to head.

                  .............................................................................................

The following day I got up early, got ready for breakfast and went down to find dad and uncle Mat

"Good morning" said uncle mat smiling

"you are up early" my dad started looking at my face to detect if there is any problem happened

"Yes I have a plane to catch"

"Ohh so where did you decide to head?" Asked uncle Mat reaching for a toast

"I decided to complete the rest of the vacation in Seattle"

They both looked at me speechless "we thought that you will go back to New York" said my dad in a small voice.

"Well I decided that I had enough of New York" I said sharing a smile with my dad

"Well come and eat so we can make it on time for the plane."

And with that I sat and ate quickly and in a blur we were sitting in the airplane heading home.

After reaching Seattle, we found Sam waiting for us

"welcome back sirs and Emma"

"Hello Sam" I said while giving him my bag and entering the car after dad and uncle Mat.

"Sam you will drive to Emma's first than to Mat's and mine" said dad after Sam buckled up

"You are not staying with us"

"Emma honey I think its better for you to stay with your mum alone. She sacrificed a lot for your happiness and I don't want to take more of it. This arrangement will make her happy and will make you more ready to accept the fact that I am not going to be there again and to adjust to the idea of your brother"

I didn't argue with that. Actually those words made me want to reach home faster to be with mum and hug her to make her feel that everything will be okay. That I will be with her never leaving.
