Chapter 12: Letters
Dear Mom,
We are in Hawaii! Can you believe it? I have been spending my days soaking up the sun. I would say you could never believe how Blue the water is here, but you have seen it. I truly believe if Daphne were to come here she would never leave. The people here are so nice they remind me of her. She would love the white sand and blue waters. I wish you could see how happy I am. I find myself waking up happy. Excited to see what the day brings. I hope you guys don't worry about me. I am doing wonderfully great. I am almost sad that we will be leaving here in a few days. Please give everyone my love. Well I have to go. Jason and I have surfing lessons to attend. So excited. Aloha!
Love Always,
Bay
P.S The shell is to bring a little piece of me to you.
Kathryn sat on Bay's bed clinging onto the shell. After rereading the letter she set it and the shell next to the first letter Bay sent. The letters both brought happiness and sorrow.
"You doing okay?" John asked as Kathryn walked into his home office.
"Do you truly think she is okay?" Kathryn asked John for the hundredth time.
"She has given us no reason to believe other wise." John answered sitting back in his chair.
"I just want her back. She needs to come home so we know she is safe." Kathryn said once again.
"We have been threw this. She doesn't want to be found Kathryn. She has not given us a return address. We just have to trust that we raised Bay to be smart." He said standing.
"Why is it that Angelo and I seem to be the ones worried about Bay?" Kathryn snapped then instantly wished she could take it back.
John shook his head. "Do you honestly think that I don't worry about her?" John said raising his voice for the first time about this matter. "She is my daughter too and I worry about her every second of every day."
"I know." Kathryn said walking to him. "It has been Five and a half weeks since I have seen her or heard her voice. It's making me crazy." Kathryn hugged him. "I'm sorry."
"I know." John said kissing the top of Kathryn's head. "I know."
Dear Mom,
We are in Greece. Today we are visiting the amazing ruins of Delphi. The sites here are so breathtaking. I truly wish you were here to see them with me. Greece in itself is a stunning place full of ancient history. To be here is truly a gift. I was watching the clouds pass by and it reminded me of the times when I was little and Toby would bring me outside to make shape with the clouds. God I miss home and I think of you guys everyday. I often wonder if Regina is still in rehab or if Toby and Nikki have set a date for the wedding. It makes me sad to think I will miss it, but I hope you guys take many pictures and that it is a happy day. I send my love and wish you all well. αντίο
Love Always
Bay
Emmett put this letter in a shoe box that held the other two letters Bay has written. Daphne made copies so Emmett could see what Bay has sent to her family. What Daphne didn't know was that Emmett was saving them.
It has been two months since Bay has left and it was driving him insane. He has not gone this long without seeing her since they met. Even after he stupidly slept with Simone and Bay broke up with him. At least then he still saw her around. "Please move on." Bay had said in her letter to him. "You deserve to be happy." Well if she wanted him to be happy then she needed to get back here safe in his arms.
Not knowing whether or not Bay was safe was the worst part. Emmett knows that Jason was not exactly the nicest guy and he was sure he was controlling. He tried not to remember what Bay had told him about what had happened when she was going to have sex with him but couldn't. It was hard not to think about it mainly because she told him about it on the same night that he considered to be the most wonderful night of his life.
He was sure that by now Bay and Jason were having sex and the thought Made him furious. The thought of Jason's hands touching Bay...Emmett took a deep breath.
With a sigh he put on a shirt and went downstairs. His mom was making him go on a date with her friends daughter. He had fought with her saying he didn't want to see other people, but she begged him. So here he was about to go out with someone he has only ever met once and all he could think about was Bay.
The girl was already here. She gave Emmett a kind smile. "Emmett this is Rachel, Rachel Emmett." Melody said with a huge smile on her face.
"Nice to meet you." Emmett said. The girl smiled and said "Nice to meet you too." Emmett gave her an almost smile. He supposed the girl was pretty. She had Short red hair and stunning green eyes. She was Almost as tall as he was. She almost reminded him of a pixie. He said so to his mom once Rachel had turned to leave. Melody swatted at him and told him to be nice.
They ended up at the restaurant Daphne works at. Daphne was overly thrilled to see Emmett on a date. She did try to hide her enthusiasm but Emmett couldn't miss the way her eyes lit up in excitement. She took their orders and sent Emmett a wink.
Emmett learned that they had things in common. She was into photography. She was funny, Pretty, and into motorcycles. She was also deaf. Emmett had to laugh at himself. He remembers once telling Daphne what his ideal girl would be and here she was sitting in front of him but all he could really see his how she was like Bay.
She had the same skin tone and the same nervous twitches. This girl, like Bay, Talked a lot and he was sure that if she was hearing she would be a fast talker. Emmett did his best to keep up with the conversation but he did have to ask her to repeat herself a few times. She never got angry with him. She would apologize and say sometimes she would go on talking and never make sure people were following then she would repeat herself.
Emmett was relieved when they had finally finished dessert. He drove Rachel home and she kissed him on the cheek before going inside. He stood there on her doorstep for a minuet before returning home himself. Melody asked him tons of questions the moment he walked in the front door. He told her the date went fine and that she was nice.
Melody threw her hands up as he went upstairs without telling her more. She knew that he was still grieving over Bay leaving but she didn't understand the hold Bay had on him. She was hearing for god sake. She cursed Bay mentally. Melody liked Bay but hated her for leaving.
Emmett looked threw old pictures. He wished for the first time that he could get over Bay. He just had dinner with someone who he would have once dreamed about but he never could see anyone past Bay. She was just to important to him. He couldn't decide if he should go out with Rachel again. He knew his mom would be trilled but he just wanted Bay.
"Bay, Bay,Bay! Do you think about anything else?" Daphne asked. She was video chatting with Emmett. She loved Emmett but really wished he would just get over Bay. "Emmett she is gone. She is probably going to marry Jason and quit possibly never come back to KC. You can't just wast your life away!"
Emmett shook his head at Daphne. He had contacted her for support not to be yelled at. If he wanted that all he had to do was go downstairs. "You are not one to talk. You quit your job for that chef guy who dumped you anyway. What would you do if Noah walked out on you?"
Daphne thought about it. He was right about Jeff and she wasn't sure what she would do if Noah up and left her. Emmett could tell by the look on her face that he had got her. "I don't know. But I do know that I would eventually have to move on." She said. "Emmett you deserve to be happy. She wants you to be happy. She said so herself. I bet right now she is on a beach somewhere laughing with Jason have a grand old time."
Dear Mom,
We have decided to Visit Ireland. The fields and hills are just like you see them in movies...
Bay stopped writing. She was to distracted. The timer she set went off. Bay pushed back from the table turning off the timer. She always hated writing these letters full of lies and false happiness when she really wanted to beg them to come save her from this nightmare.
She had decided to tell them that she was in Ireland because the green fields reminded her of her dad. Greece was a place her mom once said she wants to visit, and Hawaii because the blue waters reminded her of Emmett's beautiful blue eyes.
Bay stood and paced the length of their little bedroom. She had told herself a thousand times that it was not possible. That she was just imagining things. However now that she was standing here trying to make herself look at the results she was suddenly scared. She wished that her mom was here. Something she never thought she would want if something like this happened.
Bay took a deep breath. "You didn't go threw all that trouble to secretly get it to let it go to waste." She told herself. Bay shook herself mentally then walked into the bathroom. She closed her eyes before picking up the pregnancy test.
So what do you guys think? Should Bay be pregnant or shouldn't she be? Thoughts? I hope you have Enjoyed :)
