As she walked out from the gates of seaside high school it dawned on Valentina that this would probably be the last time she walk through those gates and as much as she would miss the school she was more than ready to leave L.A and start over in Seattle she wanted to put everything that happened here behind her and start over at a school where no one would know about her mum and Ryan's drug addiction. Just thinking about him sent shivers down her spine she wanted to be supportive of her mum's impending marriage but considering the fact that Ryan's greatest ambition in life was him finally getting his life in order and him not being a pill head anymore it didn't do much to ease her concerns. She often wished her mum would pick men who weren't wild, insane or addicted to drugs but this was Amelia Shepherd she knew her mum far to well to know that would never be the case it often made her think of herself and how much she was like her mum a party animal, popular, pretty and most importantly always mixing with the wrong crowd, hell she even used her mum's techniques when it came to picking up men, but seeing her mum fall so far down and how bad her and Ryan's addiction to drugs was made her really evaluate her choice's in life. The thing that Valentina Shepherd wanted to escape from the most was the night she was raped that night would forever haunt her and a night that never wanted to tell a soul she knew she should have been tested for STD's but it was far to painful for her to think about and every reputable doctor in L.A knew her mum and so she couldn't risk it, putting those thoughts out of her mind she headed over to her aunt Addison's car and left the school for the last time.
"Hey Val how was your last day of school?"
"It was alright aunt Addie I mean at least people weren't talking about me, mum or Ryan as much but the staring was still the same honestly I'm just glad that I am leaving I can't wait to start over fresh and not have to deal with the whispering and gossip from people and I get to see Sam and uncle Derek and Aunt Meredith and Zola and Bailey."
"Have you spoken to your Grandma or your Aunts Val?"
"No they made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with me or mum for that matter an they haven't been around for the last 16 years of my life I don't need them now and mum certainly doesn't need them we've tried reaching out to them and it's clear that they'll always think mum is nothing more than a burden for them we have our family and as sad as it is we are probably better off for it."
Addison just looked at her niece sympathetically she heard from Samantha how good it was to hear from her grandma and how much she missed her while she was glad that her daughter had that relationship with Carolyn, Nancy, Kathleen and Lizzie she could not help but feel for Valentina and Amelia while Valentina probably would never admit it Addison knew how much it hurt her not to have the kind of relationship. It always angered Addison about how poorly they treated them but she was eternally grateful that Derek never gave up on his sister or her daughter but she knew the same could not be said for Ryan, Addison knew how much Derek did not like the him and how he thought that Ryan was nothing more than a deadbeat but in the end all she wanted was for her niece to be happy and at peace with her life and she hoped that moving would provide her that peace. They arrived at the beach house where Amelia and Ryan were waiting for them she parked the car and the two of them headed towards the Airport.
"Hey princess how was school?"
"It was hard but I don't know I feel relieved now I think accepting the fact that I will no longer be there anymore made it a lot easier and just knowing the fact that I no longer have deal with all of the gossiping certainly makes me feel relieved what about you mum are you ready to start your new job at Grey Sloan?"
"Yeah I am I think moving is really going to helps us move forward in life and I get to be closer to my brother and that makes me really happy and three of can finally start our lives over as a family and heal from everything that has happened and Valentina I know I haven't said this as often as I should but I'm so proud of you for how you have turned out and for not abandoning me when I got back onto the drugs even though I gave every reason to, I love you more than life it's self Val and you, Ryan and everyone else in our family is what kept me going and made me determined to get sober so that I could be a better mum to you."
"Your mum is right Val you know if we ever have a daughter I would hope that she would be like you and your mum and I know how worried you are about me and you have every right to be worried after every thing that has happened but I promise I just want to love your mum and make her the happiest women on earth."
"Thank you both and Ryan I know you love my mum and that's why I'm going to try and trust it'll be difficult because I've never had proper father figure in my life but if you are going to be apart of lives I have to try and trust you and forgive you for everything."
While it was true Valentina wanted try and trust him for her mum she really didn't know how to the men in her life have been so inconsistent that Valentina never really knew how to trust someone who was more or less going to be a father figure and apart from her uncle not man stayed around long enough for her to even have a proper father figure.
For Amelia though every time she looked at her daughter it was a constant reminder of how lucky she was to have such a beautiful and sweet girl but tore her to pieces knowing the amount of pain and suffering she had put her daughter through over the years and all she wanted was to move forward and make it up to Valentina and be the mum kind of mum and have the kind of relationship she only wished she had with her mum. While she really didn't miss her mum much and never really blamed her for how she felt about her it angered her so much that she was treat her granddaughter this way and not even try to attempt to have some kind of bond with her, as for her sisters she was glad that they weren't apart of Val's life she didn't want her daughter being more hurt and suffer more than what she has. They soon arrived at the airport and Amelia knew it was time to say goodbye to Addison and her life in L.A and start over her life in Seattle and tell her daughter that she was pregnant she knew Val would be happy considering that she always wanted a younger sibling but Amelia wanted to find the right time to tell her daughter but it was time for the four of them to move forward as a family. Saying their goodbyes to Addison the three of them headed to plane for Seattle ready to move forward and start over.
