Callie Rose xo

After everything that happened, it felt so good to just relax. I breathed deeply...in...out, and held him closer. The sun is beating down on me, and I love it.

"Hey, Callie, its getting kind of late, i'm going to have to head back now" sighed Tobey. I nodded without looking at him, he was holding me so he felt it. He rolled me onto the sand as he got up, I giggled and knelt up. He smiled his beautiful smiled and kissed me gently on the forehead.

"Is that all I get!?" I laughed. He flashed his teeth and knelt down facing me, and gave me a long passionate kiss, when he finally broke we were both smiling broadly. He set off down the beach, casting me one last wave before walking out of sight. I suppose I had better get home now aswell, so I pull myself up and wander in the other direction to Nana Jasmi...I mean our house. God I missed her, when Mum told me I went and sat in the rose garden for endless hours, thinking of all the memories there. Mum had said this is now our house, and we can build our family and new memories there. I smiled as I entered.

"MUM! MUM!?!"

No Answer, so I go to check in the celler incase shes down there and can't hear me. I walk through the sturdy door, and down the steps. The celler was covered with dust and cobwebs, I shudder as I see something scuttle across the floor in the corner.

"Mum?" I called. No answer. I suppose she isn't home. I am about to walk back and suddenly notice a peice of paper lodged in between two wine bottles on the rack at the far side of the celler. I walk towards it and pull it out with a chink of the wine bottles. Its an envolope, and it looks as if its going to fall to dust at any moment. I turn it over. Oh my god...

My name is written in small handwriting I know only too well. My fingers are now shaking as I carefully open the seal. I can feal my heart beating at a thousand times a second in my chest. I pull out the discoloured, tattered paper inside. I am litarally shaking on the spot as I unfold it. The dim lamp illuminates the words. I breath deeply again and begin to read...

Dear My Darling Son/Daughter

I don't know how old you are now, as I wrote this intending for you to find/recieve it when your old enough to understand. My darling, I am not a bad person. If that is my dying wish, so be it, for you too know that I wasn't a bad person. Also I loved your Mother very much, unconditional, neverending passion. I hope she can move on and I hope you always cherish your Mother. She has been through hell for you too be standing here today, never forget that.

My Darling, I know i'm dying for you. I know your bastard of a Grandfather will have made some propastition with Sephy to not kill me if she got rid of you. I know I'm dying for you, and I love it. Don't ever think I would rather be stood there than you. I left a last flicker of hope in you, and I die knowing that you will carry on the McGregor name, and that brings hope and pride into my heart, as well as a smile to my face and Kamal Hadleys frustration at the fact that he can't wipe the face of the earth of all McGregors!

I hope that you will go out into the world and try and make a difference. But not with violence, i've learned that however angry you are at the system don't resort to violence. Worst mistake i've ever made.

Well, your here, so it can't be the worst, now can it?

Darling, always be happy. Go into the world and make a difference.

Love you always,

Callum McGregor

Your Father

Maybe if I found this earlier it could of made a difference, probebly not.

But I'm still here smiling.
