True Love - Mackenzie Feit (ebook reader with highlighter TXT) 📗

What about?"

"N..nothing important," He said with a hint of pink in his cheeks

"Doesn't look like nothing" I said looking into his eyes to see if I could interpret what he was thinking

"An..anyway why are you in the halls and not in class?" he said trying to change the subject

I wonder why he's changing the subject?

"Um didn't you see the explosion I made?"

"Oh, um yeah sorry stupid question"

"but I could ask you why YOU'RE in the halls and not in class"

"Um because Ally got mad at me and told me to get a pass out of the classroom so I could cool off"

"Why did she get mad at you, what did you do this time?" I asked kind of curious

"Because I wasn't listening and I didn't know what we were supposed to be making," he said a little nervous

"Oh, ok, hey Ash?"

"Yeah Em?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did," He said smiling a little

"No, I mean an actual question, seriously"

 "Oh, um yeah go for it"

"Ok so why are you acting so nervous all of a sudden and always seem to be in your own little world why is that?"

 

(Ashton's POV)

 

"Ok so why are you acting so nervous all of a sudden and always seem to be in your own little world why is that?" Emma asked me genuinely concerned

I can't possibly tell her the real reason why I'm nervous or why I'm always fantasizing because it's all because of her, the way she makes me feel I can't talk to her without my eyes drifting to her lips anymore and I don't know why I have butterflies in my stomach everytime she speaks to me.

"Well, can you give me an answer or are you speechless?" she asked me

"Sorry Em, but I can't tell you!" I said in a rush and quickly turned away so I wouldn't see the hurt look on her face

"Really Ashton! You can't tell your best friend what you're feeling or what you're thinking?" she said and I could hear her heart breaking.

This isn't what I wanted, I wish I could just spill my feelings to her right now but I don't even know what I'm feeling at the moment

"I.. I'm so s..sorry Em... I.." I started saying

"No Ashton, since you obviously don't trust me enough to tell me things anymore, t..then w..we are...aren't best friends a..anymore, So from now on you have to call me Emma no more nicknames, those are for friends and we obviously aren't friends anymore!" she yelled at me just as the bell rang signaling the end of 1st hour.

"Em.. I mean Emma, please don't cry" I pleaded just as her tears started falling

"No Ashton you caused this to happen, so just stop and I don't need you to help me anymore for studying I think I can manage on my own! she yelled at me and ran the other way

Oh man I really screwed up this time

 

(Ally's POV)

 

I was working on our project, by myself, when I heard Em screaming, she never does that unless she's extremely mad or upset?  Uh Oh, I have a feeling it's the second one

I started watching the clock we only had 2 minutes left then I would be able to ask Ash if he knew what happened

Finally, the bell rang, and I hurriedly ran to the hallway where I heard Em only to see her running away from... Ashton?

I walked up to Ash, "what happened?"

"I didn't tell her what I was thinking or feeling and now I guess we aren't friends anymore?" he explained

"Oh no that's not good," I said terrified

"Yes Ally I know that's not good, thanks so much for reminding me what happened when we were 13 years old!" he said sarcastically 

I punched him in the arm, really hard

"OWWW!!!" he yelled

"That's what you get for being sarcastic at a time like this"

"Just trying to lighten the mood," he said

(??? POV)

 

"come on baby, your going to be late for school" a sweet voice cooed

"please just five more minutes, miss fairy" Emma yawned out

I chuckled and walked over to her and shook her a little

"come on sunshine, it's time for you to get ready for your first day of 7th grade"

"DADDY!!!!!!!!" she shot up so fast she was a blur

"glad your awake now" I laughed at her

"no daddy I'm just sleep talking" she tried

"ok sunshine how about you sleep talk all the way to the bath," I said to her

 "ok anything for you daddy," she said excitedly

"thank you honey, for getting her out of bed," the most beautiful voice said

"no problem sweetheart," I said kissing her softly

"Ewww get a room you two!" Emma said peeking around the corner

"HAHAHA" we all laughed together

"What's all the commotion about so early in the morning?" a very sleepy Isaiah said coming from his room across the hall

"oops sorry big bro" Emma said apologetically 

"It's perfectly fine lil sis, I should probably get up now anyway, what do you think dad, mom?"

"yeah probably, son," I said

"yeah it's about that time, isn't it," the angel-like voice said

"ok everyone up and be ready in 40 minutes, please," I said loud enough so everyone could hear

"yes sir" everyone replied happily

"I call the bathroom first, love you mom," Emma said

"I call it second, love you mom," Isaiah said

"I'll just use the one downstairs, I love you all too," the sweet voice said 

"OK," I said and gave her a kiss on the lips

 

(40 minutes later)

 

"ok everyone ready?" I said 

"yes," Isaiah and Emma said

"do you have everything?" I asked

"yes" once again they said

"ok now out to the car," I said following behind them

"wait what about mom?" they asked me

"o right sorry guys wait in the car," I said nicely

"yes sir"

I ran into the house to get my wife who was already ready and waiting for her morning goodbye so she could go to work

"almost forgot," I said smiling as I gave her a passionate kiss goodbye and a hug

"Goodbye honey, I love you," she said sweetly

"Goodbye sweetheart, I love you too, see you soon," I said as I walked her out the door

"now we can go," I said pulling out first so Violet could leave after

We are on our way to Emma's school first

"Here we are, sunshine," I said letting her out to give her a hug

"Bye daddy!" she said running inside

"ok Isaiah, you ready?" I asked him

"to go to school no but since I get to supervise my lil sis then yes," he said happily

"I'm glad you think so," I said as we were pulling up to his part of the school

"Bye dad," he said

"bye son," I said

And with that, I went to work

 

(2 and a half hours later)

 

I get a call from the hospital saying that my wife was in a car accident, it was pretty bad.

"Uh ok I'll...I'll be there as soon as possible," I said panicking

I reached the hospital in under 10 minutes

I rushed to the reception desk and asked for Violet Thompson as fast as possible 

they told me that she was in room 204 on the second floor, I ran so fast to get to my wife I'm almost positive I was just a blur.

When I got there she was all bandaged up I could barely even make out her beautiful green eyes, I knelt beside her taking her hand in mine and repeating I love you's over and over again until the nurse that was there with her to monitor said that she recieved a lot of brain damage along with a fractured right ankle, a broken left leg, she also recieved mutiple punctures to her heart and that there wasn't much they would be able to do, so I would have to say my finale goodbye's before every organ she has in her body fails.

I couldn't hold it in any longer I let all my tears go, I can't believe she's going to leave me here, leave her children.

"I love you Violet I always have and I always will, God bless you, my beautiful wife," I said kissing her forehead.

"I love you too" and with that she left us all, just then did I realize that I would have to be the one to tell the children when they get back from their first day of school, and I have to see their faces which will be filled with tears and realization that this was their last day with their mother.

 

(4 hours later)

 

 The kids will be back soon and I don't know how to tell them that their mother died a few hours ago from a car crash, without breaking their hearts.

The door opened, Isaiah and Emma walked in laughing

"O my god did you see his face it was so funny when you asked if he could take me to the hospital because I was in labor haha, he was so scared"

"Hahahaha, yeah Em that was the best prank ever" Isaiah said laughing 

They saw me in the living room, on the couch patiently waiting

"Uh, hey dad what's up?" Emma said first

"yeah what's up pops, you look a little pale" Isaiah said worried

"Hey kids could, uh, could you come here and sit for a second there's, uh, there's something I have to tell you both," I said nervously

"Yeah sure," they both said as they walked to sit on the couch while I stood up

"Um, I don't know how to tell you guys this, but there's uh, been an accident" I paused waiting for their expressions

"What happened, shouldn't mom be here with us as well so she can hear about it?" Emma asked a little confused

"Em, please let dad speak," Isaiah said looking at me with sad eyes

"th.. thanks Isaiah," I said

"No prob now please dad tell us what happened and why mom isn't here"

"Well there was a car accident shortly after I dropped you guys off at school, I was in my office when I got the call that your mother had been severely hurt and she was sent to the hospital..." I paused closing my eyes so I wouldn't have to see the tears

"W....wh..what," Emma said her voice barely audible

"s.so wh..what happ..happened," Isaiah said trying to be strong in front of his sister

"sh..she um, she ha..had re..received a lot of b..brain d..damage a..along with a fr..fractured right an..ankle, a br..broken left le...leg, sh..she also received mul...multiple pun..punc...punctures to her hea...heart," I said struggling to keep going, struggling to keep it together

"b..but sh..she's going to be alright, right..." Emma asked crying and fearing the answer 

"n.no sh..she di..didn't ma..make i..it, bu..but sh..she was..wasn't by her..herself in the e..end I made it to her before she left us," I said trying to give my children some courage

"Did you tell her we all love her and we will miss her?" Isaiah said not even trying to hold back the tears anymore

"Yes I told her and I also promised her that I would take care of you," I said the tears still streaming

"I'm going to miss her so much," Emma said hugging Isaiah tightly

"I know Em, I will to," Isaiah said in a soothing voice trying to calm his sister

"You guys should get some rest, Isaiah could you make sure she's ok getting to sleep," I said

"I will, dad night," he said

"night," I said back, usually, he would say goodnight but this night wouldn't be so good

Chapter 3- Grieving Time

(Isaiah's POV)

 

I walked Emma upstairs to my room cause I'm almost positive
