Chapter 14, I'll Always Be With You

Thomas waited for his sister to come out of her room. Within the hour she was dressed as she opened the door. As much as he dreaded doing this, he did it for Elena. Lucille saw him standing there. She gave him a blank stare as he watched her. "My dear sister, i've made a mistake. You are the only one that I could ever love," he took her hand in his.

"You have done nothing, but hurt me. Why should I believe you?" Lucille wasn't for sure if she should trust him or not. He completely ignored her the whole time with Elena here.

"Please, let us go back to what we had when it was just you and I alone," he said acting like he felt hurt. Thomas could only picture himself saying this to Elena. The whole time he felt himself struggling to do this. Luckily, he never faulted once. Lucille hugged him happy that he apologized.

"I could have two lovers," she whispered in his ear. He grabbed her forcefully leaning her against the wall.

"No, you are mine. This will end." His tone changed to possessive.

"That's the brother I remember," she pushed his hair out of his face. He heard the piano being tampered with out front. Lucille followed him to the front seeing a couple of the guys messing with it. Elena came through the door wearing a white sweater and long jeans. Her hair was down. Thomas couldn't help but look. She looked like an angel coming through the door. "So they tell me you minored in theater?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, writing was my major. Doing the paranormal thing was more of a fun thing for me," she explained to tyler.

Tyler was being a little flirtatious towards Elena. It made Thomas somewhat jealous. Elena looked over seeing Thomas watching her. She approached both Thomas and Lucille. "This is the way it's suppose to be," she looked at them.

"Good," Lucille looked at her calmly.

"I'll do my part and try to figure things out." she sighed.

"There is a party tonight. Do join us," Lucille offered.

"Sure, " Tyler said standing next to Elena.

They all left each other while everyone got ready for the dance. It was a dance near by for the town. There was a flyer that Lucille had. It was formal. Elena got a long black dress. It was sleeveless and silk. She left her hair down curling it some. She sat on the couch feeling down with the whole situation with Thomas. She knew she loved him, but it was for the best.

Tyler came into the room seeing her sitting on the couch. He had a tux on. "You look amazing," he said taking her hand in his.

"Thanks, I wish I felt it."

"What's wrong?"

"I've been with Thomas for a while. He's a great guy and because of the circumstances we can't be together. I promised him that I would help him. He's no different from his sister."

"I read about him. Thomas Sharpe is his name. I looked up some of the history. The things he had done was nuts. His sister poisoned and murdered his wives. They were together. How in the hell is that normal?" he wondered.

"It's him and something brought them back. He really did fall in with the next wife that he did married. It drove his sister mad and she killed him. Her name was Edith." Tyler scooted next to her wrapping an arm around her.

"It could be someone that is acting like them."

"No, it's him. I've seen so many things happen in that house." Tyler still felt a little skeptical about all of this. He was aware of the history. They had left the place they were staying at heading to the party. Tyler had her things go with them. When they arrived the place was decorated beautifully. There were chandeliers everywhere. The tables were decorated with a very elegant center piece.

There was a large crowd of people everywhere. They sat and ate. Elena looked for Thomas not finding him anywhere. Then as the lights dimmed, Thomas and Lucille were the last to come in. He was dressed more modern wearing a tux. People were getting up to dance. Lucille wandered elsewhere. Thomas noticed Elena as she stood there seeing him coming towards her. He came over to her offering his hand. She took it as he kissed it.

"You look beautiful," he looked at her with loving eyes.

"You look nice as well." He escorted her to the dance floor. There was a slow song that came on and they danced close together. Not once did he take his eyes off her.

"This is all too familiar to me. This was like the moment that I fell in love with Edith except the times were different," he spoke.

"I wondered what took so long. I guess you were busy rekindling your relationship with your sister," Elena said a little jealous.

"Nothing happened. I wouldn't allow it. I couldn't," he said keeping his voice down.

"There's nothing stopping you Thomas. I told you to try to work things out." When the song ended he guided her into a more quieter area to talk.

"That night when we were alone was the happiest moment i've had in a long time." She knew he meant it, but he was making this difficult.

"More like your sister was spying on us." Elena was annoyed trying to walk away from him. He grabbed her hand pulling her towards him.

"I've lost and given up on so much. This time I won't give up on you. I don't give a damn about anyone, but you. We can figure this out and run away from this place." Elena had tears in her eyes as she listened to what he was telling her. She loved him more than anything, but it was a risk she didn't want to take.

"I can't Thomas. Please just stick with the plan. Lucille is coming our way," she said moving away from him.

"What's going on?" Lucille asked him. Thomas had a hurt look in his eyes as he looked at Elena.

"Nothing, as long as they stay. None of them will be harmed. Understood?" he looked at Lucille.

"Fine."

"Whatever happened between us is done," Thomas said to Elena.

"Fine," she looked at him holding back tears.

"Everything that happened to us meant nothing. You will never compare to her." All this was an act from Thomas so Lucille wouldn't think otherwise. He hated hurting her. Lucille walked away chatting with someone. Elena walked away with tears in her eyes. Thomas leaned against the wall feeling worse that he hurt her.

"Hey what's going on?" Tyler came up to him.

"I hurt the woman I love."

"What are you talking about?"

"Come with me and I will tell you everything." Thomas led him with him to talk. Chase stayed with Elena while they left. Maybe Tyler could be some help to him.
