I Need You

54. It's Okay..

"She killed him" a voice comes from behind me and I immediately fall into his chest and nod. 

I know everyone here are shocked. Shocked by his presence and shocked with the news. I can hear his heartbeat and it's fast. So fast. I turn around to look at him and I see tears in his eyes.

I cup his face an wipe the tears that are ready to fall onto his perfect face. "Why?" I ask and he tenses under my touch. He shakes his head sideways. 

"Nothing sweetheart. Why did u kill him?" he asks me amused. "In the last minute when I was before him, I forgot that he was my dad. I forgot what all he did to me, I forgot everything. I couldn't take this anymore. He killed Aiden, he killed Uncle Ben, he tried to kill you and Em and he even tried to kill me. If I leave him alone, he will kill Damon, he will kill my mom your mom and even Ethan" I say and break into tears.

That had been the toughest decision. I didn't shed even a single tear for my father till now. Why am I crying after I myself made the decision to kill him. Why have I become such a demon? Why did he go the point where we can't mend him? How could I forget his love and affection? 

I cry my heart out. I am just breaking down and I made my mom's situation worse. I killed her husband. The person she loves the most. The person she is living for. Thinking about her is just making the things worse for me. 

Aaron hugs me tight and rubs my back. I spoiled the moment. I wanted them to be happy to see him, but I made them sad by letting them know that I killed my dad. And I am ready for everything that is going to happen now. 

Let them hate me for this, let them push me away for this and let them just kill me for this. I am okay with anything. But I don't want them to be silent. Aaron's breathe and heartbeat is soothing me but I don't know if we can be the same anymore. 

I pull apart and turn to others. "See if you are gonna hate me for this, I am okay" I say and turn to leave. 

"We are never going to hate you Mia. We know that would have been hard for you to make that decision and we respect your decision. And it was a right decision Mia" Em says coming forward to hug me. Everyone nod in unison and they do the same.

"Wanna go there?" Aaron aske me when everyone pull apart. I nod and he grabs my hand and I follow him to his car. We both stay silent and I keep looking in the mirror to see the others following us. We stop by to check on mom and she is still sleeping. I just leave her like that and we head to the farm house.

There are cops checking for the clues and any signs of someone else visiting the place. "Mia Henry and some of his men have been found dead this morning and now your father. Do you have anyone on mind" Max one of the cops I got in touch with recently comes to ask me. 

I don't know what to tell him. I just keep looking down. "Just let her be for some time" Aaron says from behind. Max's eyes go wide in shock when he sees Aaron. He keeps rubbing his eyes and he looks at me. I give him a half smile and move forward. I hear everyone whispering around. They are shocked to see Aaron here.

"Miss Mia Blaine do you doubt anyone?" a reporter asks marching towards me. But Aaron comes to the front and blocks him from moving further. He says something and the reporter steps back. Everyone else came and they kept talking to the others. 

I kneel beside my dad's body and start crying. I was the one who shot him and I am sitting here and crying. 

After sometime, I get up and turn to Aaron. He is speaking to Cara about something and I see her smiling. I look around and find everyone engaged with someone or the other. Just then I find my mom running towards me.

"Say it's not real. Say he is not dead" she says still crying. Her eyes are red and puffy. Seeing her like this makes my heart heavy. The tears start rolling down again. I hug her tight and soothe her back. I take her to dad and she sits beside him crying. Aunt Lisa is here and she is trying to calm mom. She knows the truth. She knows that dad was the one who killed her husband and she knew everything, yet she is here to support us and even she is crying.

She looks at me gives me an assuring smile. I go to mom and hug her. "I need to speak to her" I say and aunt Lisa goes to Aaron. We kept her long from her son. She needs to talk to him.

"I had no choice but to do this. I didn't know what to do after I found out the person who killed Aiden was dad and I had no choice but to do this" I say handing her the gun. She looks at me shocked and then she looks at the gun. "He isn't in a position to listen or understand. He said he wanted the position and for that he was ready to kill everyone. Everyone including Ethan." I say looking down. I lift my face to look at her, but she maintains a neutral expression.

"I know. Even I had doubt on your dad. Even if I was in your position, I would have done that. Don't worry" she says wiping my tears with the back of her hand. I am shocked at what she spoke. I was expecting her to slap me or the least , her to shoot me with the gun I gave her.

"Just go get your man. He is worried. I'll complete the formalities and comeback" she says pushing me to Aaron.

"Relieved?" he asks bending down to look at my face. I nod without looking at him. Today has been a very long day and the worst day. I wish this would all be a dream except for the part where Aaron came back.

"Be my date" he says pulling my chin up. This time I look at him. "For the event next week" he says and winks at me.

"I don't think I would be coming" I say. I seriously don't think I would be going. I have to deal with all this and have to attend my dad's funeral. 

"Well we can always shift the dates if you need" speaks a voice from behind me. I see Aaron glaring at that person. 

"Wanna be my date like last time sweetheart?" he says holding my waist and pulling me to look at him.
