Is it just coincidence? [Tewksbury & Reader]

Chapter 14 : Family

"Well...I'm Edith, your  godmother" Edith exclaimed   

"godmother? what about my parents" i questioned hurriedly 

"they are- " Edith muttered but stopped suddenly and looked around

"lets go talk in private" she said quietly and led me to a room leaving Enola Tewksbury behind

"my parents are dead, aren't they?" i said quietly breaking the silence 

"yeah" she muttered quietly 

"how?" i said my voice breaking while i was talking 

"well..your mother was a part of the suffragette movement and her life was at risk. Your mother wanted a fair world for you to live in" she paused for a while and then went on. "When your parents were going to their home they were in an accident that killed them. you were just 2 when this happened." she said her voice breaking and her eyes welled up with tears.  

"oh." was that all that came out even though i had so much to say. In one second all my hopes were shattered. 

"was their death an accident?" i asked even though i knew the answer. 

"yeah, people who did not want this movement were a part of the murder." she said anger evident in her eyes. 

"hmm" i mustered to put that word out, when clearly i didn't want to talk. 

"I know this is a lot to take in but remember you always have people who love you, you have your friends and you have me" she said and hugged me tightly 

"thank you" i said and hugged her again  

"and don't think you have no one to talk to, we are family and you can always talk to me" 

"thank you" i said filled with happiness

"we have a lot to talk about" she said while smiling, trying to brighten the mood  

"Do you want tea or anything" she asked while holding my shoulders 

"i'm fine, thanks" i said while smiling. i was very hurt knowing about my parents but i'm delighted that Edith and my friends are here for me. 

"Y/N we have people searching for us here!" i heard Enola yell and pull me with her 

"we need to get out of here" i said to Edith breathlessly while she gave me a sturdy nod

"where is Tewksbury?" i questioned hurriedly 

"he is already downstairs" she said while walking cautiously down the stairs 

"y/n come here" Tewksbury said while holding my hand. 

"hey! the boy and girl near the door turn around and show your face" we heard a man yell 

Do you think they will get caught?
