Chapter 16: Blur

"So this man killed your mother because she chose your dad instead of him?" The officer was scribbling on his pad as my shaking hands clutched the hot cup tightly. I nodded and looked around at the room, I was safe and alive.

"And he wanted to blame your brother because then he could get off the hook and your brother would pay for braking his daughter's heart in high school? He sounds like one messed up individual. I don't think we'll be pressing charges on your boyfriend for killing this guy. I think the world is a better place without him. The officer touched my shoulder in comfort as he got up and then left the room, leaving me to my thoughts.

Harold was no longer going to bother us, he was gone, and we were safe from him. Although that didn't solve the Molly situation. We're lucky she didn't find us whilst all the drama was going on or she would have only added stress to a very difficult situation. I sighed with the knowledge that my life was just never going to be the same; I was in a constant danger all because I fell in love with Austin. That didn't make me regret my decision to stay with him though, he was the bets thing to ever happen to me. I looked down at my ring, stroking the diamonds and smiling, knowing there was always going to be those memories to fall back on in hard times.

Looking back on the last two days was exhausting, I found my brother by deception, I deceived with my brother, and I almost died with him too. This was an emotional rollercoaster of a week and I wasn't quite sure I was handling it well, I just felt numb. How was I to deal with the knowledge that I could lose him, or Austin. Neither of them had woken up yet and it had been three days, three days of thinking that I could have to say goodbye to the people I loved most. Its so unfair that the world gave me back the brother I thought I had lost, gave me a love I never knew existed and then threatened to rip it away from me just like that. I just wasn't ready to say goodbye yet.

I soon decided I should probably get back to the hospital and sighed as I got up, I really hoped that the boys were awake. That Austin would pull through his eternal bleeding and my brother would wake up from his three-day nightmare. I couldn't say goodbye just yet.
