Please Don't Go

CHAPTER 38

Aidens POV
    
    I sat at the piano attempting to learn Für Elise. I told dad I decided to learn piano because he wanted me to, but in reality I wanted to learn for Lily.

     I wish she was the one teaching me.

     Daddy has become different after us leaving New York. He decided to move us upstate Indiana since he had expansions of M Corp here. Lily wasn't here so I hated it. I heard the front door open and close, then footsteps.

     "How's it coming bud?"

     "Daddy!" He's... happier

     "Hey peanut. Whatcha learning?"

     "Für Elise. Can you help me?" True test.

     "Sure!" He patted my head and walked over to the piano. I sat down beside him.

     "Hey daddy?"

     "Yes?" He began to show me how to play.

     "It's been a year now... maybe she's recovered her-

     "No Aiden! I've told you time and time again, she won't recover her memory. If she does, she wouldn't be the same Lily we know and love. Aiden, we can't go back to her. We-

    He paused and hung his head down. He rubbed his eyes and began to play again.

     "I miss her daddy."

     "I know peanut, but we can't go back. It would only hurt us more."

     "So she really won't remember us?"

     "...yeah. She won't remember us."

     "Oh... okay." I tried to mimic what he did but I kept failing. "I'm just gonna go play with my cars in my room." I got up and walked off.

      I closed the door and began to cry.

     I know you are lying, but why?

—

     "Okay uncle Ollie, it's time for operation happy."

     "Opera what?" He looked so confused.

     "Operation happy. We are going to make daddy happy again. I can tell he's faking being happy so he thinks that I can't tell that his soul is screaming for his true love."

     "You are so lucky he's at work or he would have a few words with you about that. Besides, I've tried kid. Nothing works, he just won't listen."

     "I have something that is guaranteed to work." He rolled his eyes.

     "What's that? A lollipop? Sorry kid but-

     I chucked my car at his head.

     "What the fudge man!?"

     "Just shut up and listen."

     "Once you stop being so aggressive" Wussy

     "Here's the plan, we go back to New York, talk Lily into your coming back with us- hopefully she remembers us, and lock her in daddy's room until he gets home." He rubbed his forehead.

      "And how exactly do you plan on getting her? You're seven."

     "And you have a jet and muscles. Alls I need, is you and your plane." He stared at me in disbelief.

     "Are you out of your mind? Your dad would kill me if he found out. No. I'm not doing it."

     "OLIVER MORETTI! Your brother- my father-  is practically dying from a broken heat. Are you seriously going to sit there and deny our chance to bring two love birds back together? It's been too long." He looked scared. I had gotten right up in his face. He looked away and sighed.
