Chapter 12: Home
Alexander POV
After spending a week in the hospital with Washington by my side who kept a close eye and console me during my night terrors. I felt so guilty for making everyone I love worried about me since I never told him about the stalking nor when James blackmail me into going back home to Nevis. I never thought that my biological father would use extreme force in order to kidnap me. Luckily he didn't fully complete his own mission since I knew that Washington would find me. Right now we're flying back home to New York City.
My biological father was taken away with the authority in which I won't have to see him again. I cover my entire body with long sleeves shirt in order to cover the bruises and there was a scar on my forehead.
Knowingly that it would take years for the scar to fade away. I hated myself so much at this moment since I could've done something to prevent this nightmare from happening. Sniffling quietly as I abruptly wipe my tears away. Washington hugged me tightly in his warm gentle arms.
"Shhhh, shhhh... It alright son, It's over." Washington comforted
"...It's doesn't feel over...It's all my fault" I replied as I whimper while continuing trembling inside my adoptive father arms.
"Alexander listen to me. None of this is your fault. James took advantage of you and your mental state. He blackmails you and stalks which is inexcusable for his action. I'll make sure he won't able get to you ever again"
My true father began comforting me while singing his lullaby in which lured me into a peaceful sleep that I longed for. The entire flight just went as smoothly as possible to accept the fact that I'm returning back home with mother and my brother in New York. I took their love and gratitude for granted which made me realize that I was lucky enough to be found alive.
I wasn't sure what happens next since the rest was a blur, next thing I knew is that Lafayette tackles me down onto the floor. My brother was screaming and uttering out a few words as he held tightly in his arms. Mulligan and Laurens join in as well as we were all crying knowing that I'm back home and alive.
I never felt so happy and lucky to have all these people the true care and cherish me. I'm just so happy that I'm finally home with my true father and my true family. The nightmares were finally over but it would take years for me to recover though I'll take the littlest steps just one at a time.
