Yours Truly || Sequel to Let Me Know

Chapter Forty-Eight: Salvage us

Lin:

I had to do this. I had no other option. Julia, I'm so sorry. There was no other way.

The drive was long, which made it horrible. I didn't want to do this. I would take it all back if it weren't for her. If Sarah didn't exist... Oh, if she didn't exist. Julia, Alexander, and I would simply be happy. But I guess, sometimes, life doesn't turn out the way you want it to...

Why us? Is the question I keep repeating. This didn't happen to anyone else but us. This isn't fucking fair. I can't lose Julia. Not now, not ever. We've had to fight for everything that came our way. But this is too hard to fight.

Nothing felt right anymore, life just felt like one big blur. Pressing on the gas pedal, I ran the red light; Not caring if I was bound to die or not.

Julia:

"Well, where else could he have gone too?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. It felt like no one was cooperating. The police had found Alexander safely sleeping in Luz and Luis' beach house, but with no explanation. They all guess he left him there so he could be protected. Protected from what? We still don't know.

"Police are still on the look out, but there's no signs of him yet."

I run to Reneé's chest as soon as she enters our apartment, "Where is he?" She shouts, but suddenly stops when I start sobbing on her shoulder. "No one knows where he is. Alexander is thankfully safe and sound but Lin is nowhere to be found. I don't know what to think!" My voice came out muffled, but somehow she seemed to understand everything I said.

She stroked my hair and embraced me in the biggest hug, in hopes of calming me down. I felt weak, nauseous. Why couldn't we have a simple life? Why did horrible stuff always happened to us? Did we deserve it? If so, what did we ever do?

As soon as I think these things, we hear a scream. "We've got activity near the beach house, it might be him. Let's go!"

We all collectively grabbed our stuff and sprinted out of the apartment. We took different cars. Jonathan and Reneé rode with me, Lin's parents on their car, and the police on their patrol. And I, I was linging onto a tiny bit of faith, in hopes I would come home with my husband again tonight.

A/N: Don't worry, this is just part one of the ending. Part two (the full chapter will come later today!) Thank you endlessly for reading this story. P.S.: I had the idea of ending with this plot so I could leave room for a third book... What do you guys think?
