Chapter 9

---Eros POV---

That night Adam didn't speak to any of us. He stayed silent until he spoke to his children. Not even speaking to Jarrod or Rosia. Tyler said he was pushed past his breaking point but I feel like he's hiding something that he was scared he wasn't allowed to have.

"Adam. Enough is enough. Tell me what happened that day." I closed the door to the nursery after we put them to bed. It's been three weeks and he refuses to talk to anybody.

"..." He looked at me for a two seconds and turned around walking to his room.

"Adam!" I whisper yelled following right behind him. He continued to walk until he got to the bathroom in his room.

"I can get her back." He whispered as he stepped into the bathroom and froze infront of the mirror.

"You what?" I asked silently as I proceeded to follow him.

"I don't know.. it feels like a dream.." he stayed exactly where he was. He didn't want to admit something.

"What happened? What happened to Kylie? She was dead when we got to the house and then Tyler tracked you guys to that mountain. You need to talk to me." I lifted my hand to his shoulder. Finally just like a thin branch he seemed to break.

"YOU WANT ME TO TALK?! FINE! I'M TALKING! I'M TALKING ABOUT HOW I'M TOO FUCKING SCARED TO SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE I'M FUCKING TERRIFIED IT WAS ALL A LIE! A DREAM! o-or some disgusting trick to play with me!" He clenched his fists fighting the urge to break everything around him. He jerked out of my grasp and stood against the wall staring at me with pure anger and hatred in his eyes.

"That doesn't answer what-"

"What happened?! She told me she made up that message just so she could talk to me and tell me to move on. Apparently though I can get her back. I can go back to that mountain on her birthday and I can get her back but I'm too fucking scared to believe it because once I actually had her in my arms again she vanished!" His voice was shaky and breaking but he continued to scream making the mirror shake.

"Adam, please.. the kids are sleeping.." I tried to calm him but this only seemed to upset him some more.

"SO?! I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP SINCE SHE LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE! Who's it going to hurt if none of us get sleep?! While you all get to sleep peacefully I lay here in this fucking bed still surrounded in her scent in complete fucking anguish! Why do you all get to dream pleasant dreams and I'm stuck here scared of the nightmare that is fucking happening in our lives but no one seems to care enough to fight back the way they're supposed to?!"

"NOW THAT'S ENOUGH!" I screamed. "I miss her too dammit! You don't think I don't sleep at night?! I'm sorry to say this but I love her too! She was my first love and finally having her in my life was enough for me but even that got taken away from me! You don't think I miss seeing her smile?! You think I don't miss her mocking my terrible cooking? Do you possibly think I don't miss her embrace while I feel so fucking broken? Do you think the twins are so happy without their mother?! Because I can tell you right now they miss her more then anyone here and that INCLUDES YOU!" I felt my anger slowly fade as I verbally attacked him. I know he was fragile and hurting but he needed a dose of reality.

"Well you and them must because everytime I sneak out you're all just so comfortable and happy with yourselves! If you really missed her as much as I do then you wouldn't even be able to breathe comfortably! Do you even understand how long it's been since I've had human blood because she didn't believe in that? I've fought every instinct in my body and soul because she meant more to me then you can ever think and you think you can just snap at me like that?! I don't fucking think so!" He slowly started to raise his fist. Before I could even react I lifted my fist and punched him as hard as I could and watched his body shatter the wall behind him and fly into the forrest. I chased after his flailing body and stopped as soon as he landed against a large oak tree.
