The Ties That Bind…

I don't own AMC


Three years had passed since the faithful day that Ryan left. Three years and not as much as a phone call or a birthday card. Jonathan had graduated in the spring with the potential of going to any design school of his choice. He however had decided on going to a community college to be near his sisters, which was the best decision of his life.


Katie's POV…

I walked into dad's room to wake him up for my driving lesion. I was so pleased that I had saved up and in a year would be able to afford my own car. Dad was still. I shook hum and nothing. He was dead.


A few days later at the funeral…

"It's up to me now to take care of you," said Jonathan, "being both the eldest and only man in the house."

"But school," said Erin.

"I can't go to school and support you," said Jonathan, "I'll need to work full time."

"But Ryan," said Katie.

"It's been three years," said Jonathan, "three years and no number to even tell him about dad."

"He still loves us," said Erin, "I know he dose."

"He broke his promise," said Jonathan.

Erin's POV..

My sister was still fanaticizing of Ryan playing hero and rescuing us from our life. Since Ryan, left I've moved on from the fairy stories of my childhood. Ryan wasn't coming on his white horse to rescue us; instead, Jonathan had to sacrifice everything.
