Dedication: Yesterday America had another tragedy and attack that not only killed 3 people but also severely injured over 150 innocent victims. I am overwhelmed with hurt and am so remorseful for those families and friends who loved those who have been taken from them. My thoughts and prayers go out to the relatives and wounded who have suffered in this disaster.

**Review of Chapter 14**

I tried to keep my voice as calm as possible but it wasn't easy, I stated "Ok, what are you talking about? What did you do and what does it have to do with me?" Beth took a deep breath as she explained "Melissa I am your… biological mother."

Chapter 15- Just Why?

I stood there shocked, nothing really running through my mind but too much at the same time. Maybe I didn't hear her right? Yeah, there is no way I heard her right. I am Melissa Sanders daughter of Lisa and Gus Sanders sister of Phil, that lady is just my aunt I don't even look like her. Well I mean maybe a little, but still I'm a Sander' not whatever she is. As I was trying to comprehend or understand what exactly is happening my 'Mom' or aunt? Whatever she is now; Lisa comes up and pulls me into a hug. She hasn't hugged me in I don't know how long and now is the time she decides to? When I am supposedly only her niece, this is messed up.

I push her away instantly; just the touch of her skin makes my insides turn. She has no right to put all this on me and think she can just hug me like she knows me, like she deserves it, like she loves me. My first instinct is to of course ask a million questions starting with; in a loud tone I may add "What?" Lisa is wiping tears from her eyes surprised at my sudden aggravation. What does she expect me to be fine with her hiding a secret, a Huge secret like this from me, acting like she's my mother when in fact she is only my aunt.

She was too occupied to answer me, my dad… I mean Gus was trying to calm her down so of course he didn't answer, Phil at this point is too overwhelmed with all of this that he just goes to the kitchen, I guess my problem's don't matter as much as his hunger. And this lady this women that walked in the door 30 minutes ago who claims to be my 'Mother' who claims I am her daughter, who claims all my life was just a big fat lie; she just stands there like a statue staring at me, shouldn't she at least explain to me why she hasn't been here for the past 17 years, why she just decided to show up and ruin everything I know about myself, Just Why?

Eddies POV

I took a deep breath before hopping out of the pond and sitting on the small spot of grass next to Loren. I take the box from her hand not minding her intensified stare, I simply say "You need the key to open it, don't you?" she stated simply "Yeah." I laughed as I got up running towards my car, she was surprised but didn't make a move till I came back and sat down. Loren glares at me and asks "What was that about?" I lift the key in my hand shaking it in front of her face and say "This." She gasps and questions "This is your box?"

I sigh not because I was sad but because now I had to explain to her the reasons I never showed her this, the reasons I never told her this. But right now I know I'm ready and she most definitely will be surprised. Before I unlock the box I have to clarify her uncertainty by saying "Yes, this is mine. Well it was supposed to be yours but… I guess I got too scared to give it to you so I just tossed it into the water when you weren't paying attention." Loren was shocked to say the least. I stood up and reached my hand out for her to take, when she did I pulled her to her feet bringing her face close to mine, I decided now would be a good time to finally let her see what's inside so I picked up the box I had laid on the ground and handed it to her.

She smiled and said "Eddie why were you scared to give this to me before but are ok to now?" I chuckled at her statement "Well I think all your answers are inside of there." I said as I pointed towards the black box located in her left hand. She laughed as she took the key from my stretched out open hand then positioned the key inside the designated hole turning it slowly till she heard a click, she lifted the lid open revealing the small gift inside. (A/U I know what you're thinking how can anything survive in the water? but just act like it could. I think you'll all like what's inside but don't be close minded about how it is still intact. Thanks)

Melissa's POV

With still nothing of an explanation coming from the people standing in front of me I yell once again "Fine guys don't tell me why the hell all this is happening just leave me here asking questions to myself without answers. I'm out of here. And Phil…" I called him as he peeked out from the kitchen door I continued "Happy Birthday." I rushed out of the house headed straight to my car. I don't know where I'm going or what's going to happen next but all I know is that I need to get out of that house. This is all too much to handle, too abundant for me. As soon as I step in the car I let the tears that have been dying to slip out finally do so. I try to turn on the car while my eyes are blurry, my noise is running, and I can't even think straight, it's not working but when I finally am able to I am out of that drive way and on the road in seconds.

The first place I think to go is Loren's house, I realize then that she's not going to be there she's still most likely with Eddie which I understand. The next person I think of is, Ian. Hopefully he's up for hearing my problems instead of going on a date because right now I just need to vent. When I pick up my phone to call I see 2 calls from my Mom well aunt Lisa and a few text messages from Phil but I just ignore them, right now I'm not in the mood to even think about my 'family' I pull up my contacts and quickly type in Ians' name, hitting call after the search was over. I heard the phone ring several times then his voice mail came on charming as always the recording said "Hey mate or love sorry I couldn't answer the phone, if you're a women know I will be calling back as soon as possible. If you are not a women then, I might text you or something. Ok well bye." I sighed then heard the beep telling me to speak, I simply said trying not to let him hear I'm upset "Hey it's me I need you, just call me when you have the chance."

Loren's POV

This is all a little surprising to me, first I find a mystery item while swimming, which ends up being a present Eddie never gave to me, why would he throw it into a pond? When I take the key from Eddies hand I'm sort of nervous to see what's inside. I unlock it carefully scared that somehow some way it would fall apart in my hands, but when I hear it click open I am happy to see it didn't. I close my eyes and take a smooth breath before looking inside the newly opened case.

The first thing I see is a charm, one that will look perfect on my bracelet. The one that was so obviously missing but I never realized. It was a small red heart shaped charm surrounded by a thick outline of gold. I gasp at the sight of it overjoyed with the sweetness that is Eddie Duran, my Eddie Duran. I stretch on my tip toes casing my arms around Eddies' neck with the box still in my hand trying not to drop it in the process. He wraps his arms firmly around my waist and whispers in my ear "There's more." I slowly let go of his neck suddenly really disappointed with the wind that blows on my tight wet clothing making me shiver rapidly. Eddie notices and grabs my empty hand dragging me toward the gazebo where he had left his jacket. He grabs it quickly and drapes the large coat around me so I was no longer cold, I give him a quick kiss on the cheek as thank you but all he does is smile and nod towards the box reminding me that there was something else for me to uncover.

I gently pull out the small piece of white paper which was closed in a way that made me unable to read. I lightly unfold both sides showing the construction in the shape of a heart. I smile at the sight of it, and read out loud the three words I never expected, three words I have been waiting to hear, and three words that will change both our lives forever "I Love You."

Where is Melissa going to go?

How come Ian didn't answer?

Will Loren say it back?

How about Eddie, will the words actually be able to come out of his mouth?

Woot Woot chapter 15, I'm super excited about this one I actually love it lol but I hope you do too so please let me know. You guys are great and I love you so much.

Xoxo
