Chapter 124
I take a quick shower and walk out of the bathroom. I walk into the closet that I use to keep all my clothes. I don’t think they’ll still be there, but maybe something hidden in there or something that I could use for my doctor’s appointment.
I don’t really want to go, but Liam’s right, I don’t know how much more fight my body has in it. And I can’t leave my kids, especially if we’re running.
I walk into the closet and to my surprise all of my clothes are still here. I can’t believe after six years they didn’t clean out this closet. I grab some clothes and throw them on. I hear someone behind me, making me jump. I look and see Mia smiling at me. “He wouldn’t let anyone touch your things… Honestly, Aims. He’s the only one of us that believed you were still alive.” My eyes widen as I take in Mia’s words, of course they thought I was dead. I should have been. Mia’s eyes are brimming with tears, but she’s not letting them fall.
I look at her sadly, “I’m so sorry.” I don’t know what else to say. She smiles sadly, “Why didn’t you contact us? I understand why you didn’t tell us where you were. But, why not at least let us know you were alive?” Mia finally lets a tear fall, and that’s all it takes and I’m crying to. “Mia, I really am sorry. I wanted to talk to all of you so much, but I was so worried he was watching you guys. I also was selfish. I tried to make contact a few times, I even called Liam, but I always hung up. I knew if I kept in contact with you, I’d never be able to stay gone, and Liam would never stop looking. I thought if I cut you out cold turkey, I’d be able to last longer. I didn’t want to be pulled back here and put all of you in danger again.” I finish, grabbing her hands.

She leads me over to the bed, and we both sit down on it. We both start wiping our tears and cry laughing. Aims, I know you’ve been through hell. I just want you to realize how much we missed you. Liam nearly tore apart any surrounding pack and human town apart looking for you. We all assumed the worst, because we couldn’t find a trace. We even had witches trying to locate you. We all understood what the risk would be having you found, but none of us cared. We wanted you safe. And now, you come back with two amazing kids. We want to protect you even more, if that’s possible. Please Amy, I understand why you did what you did, but please, stay. Please let us help you.” She says, her voice becoming more confident as she spoke. Her words hitting me hard. Then, I think about seeing her in a pile of warm blood, and I can’t do it. I can’t stay.
I look up and see all my friends have joined us, staring down at me with such sincerity I can’t take it. I look all of them in the eyes, “Look guys, I understand where you’re coming from. I really do. But please understand where I’m coming from. It’s not just you guys that are in danger with us staying here. It’s the whole pack. Yes, you guys are the most at risk, because of how I feel about you guys. But are you really willing to put the whole pack at risk, to protect us?” Without a second to think, in unison, “Yes.” They all reply. I stare at all of them like they’re stupid.
