Chapter 48: Second Chances
Emily
We reached the house and I frowned contemplating on what El just said. Lance, fucking-head-over-heels-for-Ellla and brother-of-Kenneth plus my-childhood-super-duper-best-friend, Lance. "You had to fucking go for him!?" I asked glaring at the steering wheel. "And I thought becoming a mother would've changed your language. "My language is english. Now answer me!" I exclaimed glaring at the steering wheel. "If I tell you what happened, will you you stop bugging me about it and talk about your feelings?" She asked giving me puppy dog eyes. "No promises." I replied softening my features. "You have to promise, Emy." She said sadly. I frowned and turned to her to lost in thought.
I sighed letting the steering wheel go. "Promise." I said as she looked up with relief. "Emy, Ken made me promise to love... To love his brother as I loved him. I eventually did. Ken was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, Emy. You have no idea how much I was devastated by the news. Lance was there with me. Always, Emy... Always. I... I cheated on Ken with him while he was at the hospital." I had wide eyes and quickly took her hands in my hands. "Why... Why didn't you call me!?" I asked hugging her tightly. She chuckled and sniffed. "You had your own problems, Emy. You had problems with Chris and the twins to add to your stress. I didn't want to be a burden." She mumbled as I let her go and smiled sadly.
"Who told you about me?" I asked confused. "Emy, you're all over the news, but I got those extra info through Ally." She replied patting my shoulder. "Alana? Alana Michaelis?" I asked confused. "Yup. Emy, I'm so sorry. I cou-" I cut her off with letting go of her hands. Was I this useless because of what he did to me? But I... I love him so much... "Emy... Ken died four months after I cheated on him. He said it was okay. He said he accepts the fact that I... I always loved Lance more than him." She replied getting my attention. I sighed smiling. "Okay, let's get inside." I said as I got out and tossed her the keys. She smiled as she opened the door and pushed me in. I chuckled as we walked towards the living room.
"It's your turn, Emy." She stated as we sat down. I sighed lightly slapping my cheeks. "El... I love Chris, but I think I also fell for Tom. Ella, I can't loose any of them for some reason. Even when I was with Tom, I missed Chris. When Tom left... I felt like my heart shattered to pieces, but what Chris did was shatter my heart then turn it to dust. I want my children to have a dad, but they... they are contemplating who to choose. Arthur is going with anyone I choose except when he'a an asshole. Naomi likes Chris while Kieren likes Thomas!" I replied covering my face. "Emy, do you really know what your problem is?" She asked pulling my hands from my face. I frowned confused. "Emy, you fell for both men, but you're being selfish right now. Tom, I understand that you fell for him, even for Chris. But, you know full well who owns your heart. Give the other a chance before you decide who really owns your heart." She whispered hugging me. "When did you get so mature?" I asked sniffing. "Ever since my brother left." Lance replied as he joined us in the couch and hugged both of us.
"E, you know we love you, right?" Lance asked as we all pulled away, but he kept his arms around Ella who was blushing. I smirked amused. "Yeah, and?"I asked raising a brow. "Stop thinking about what your kids want. You have to think about what you want, E. You gotta decide on your own who truly owns your heart. Your children can't dictate that choice for you. You grew up too fast, you gotta be selfish for once. It's hard to get me time knowing that your children's needs have to go first." Lance replied smiling. Me... Time? Why does that sound so fucking fam-Chris! I closed my eyes, hiding my face behind my knees. "E, what is it?" Lance asked concerned. "I know who owns my heart... I just need tome to let go of the other man who has a small piece of my heart." I replied standing. "Where do you think you're going?" Ella asked frowning. "Back! I gotta catch up to him, El! I have too before he... he leaves me again." I replied running out. "Can I borrow your motor?" I asked Lance tossed me his keys. "Go get him." He stated smiling. I smiled back and wiped away my tears.
"Emsy!" Ella called. I stopped gripping the helmet. I was already on the motor bike when she called. "Cool it and call when you get home." She said finally smiling. I smiled back and wore the helmet. "Catch you guys later." I said driving away.
I arrived home to find it dark. I frowned rushing in. "Chris? Arthur? Kieren? Naomi?" I called as I removed the helmet from my head. I rushed upstairs to see my twins and Art asleep soundly. I smiled and walked towards my room to see the bed fixed and a note plus the key to the that I gave Chris on top of it. I frowned examining the key as if it has the answers. What the hell wou-Oh fuck! I quickly ran down the stairs and put my helmet back on then got Lance's motor bike key from the bowl on the counter. Shit! It was raining! I quickly ran out and drove on passing by the bus stop. A man was asleep there covering his face with a blue cap while leaning on his white big-ass back pack. I smiled driving on, but hit the breaks which almost caused me to fly off the bike, slip on the road, and crash on a tree. CHRIS!? I made a U-turn then parked beside the bus stop.
11:30pm
Chris
I packed my bag after finally tucking all those three in bed. I smiled sadly leaving them each a note. I hesitated putting Emily's note on top of her bed after I fixed it. I gotta stop thinking about her! I sighed finally putting the letter and keys on top of her bed. I sighed walking out the house, giving it one last look. So much new, amazing memories in such the house. I sighed quickly walking towards the bus stop as the rain poured. I might as well sleep while waiting for a bus and the rain to stop. I covered my face with the blue cap I wore then closed my eyes sleeping then I heard a motor bike engine pass by.
12:05am
I woke up to the sound of an engine stopping. I frowned and wore my blue cap back on to see a woman remove her helmet. "Christopher Robert Evans.." She trailed off getting off the bike. Who the hell is she? I raised a brow amused. She got nearer and I stood up. "Wh-" Before I could even finish,
SLAP
My head turned to the left. "What the fuck lady!?" I asked touching my cheek.
SLAP
My head turned to the right. "What the he-" I cut myself off as I saw her eyes. "Emily?"I asked shocked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." She teased crossing her arms. I shook my head and smiled. "Why'd you slap me the first time? I understand the se-" She cut me off with a kiss after we looked into each others beautiful orbs. I kissed back pulling her closer. We pulled away slowly as I carried her bridal style and sat down with her on my lap.
"I thought... I thought I 'd never see you again. You got me so worried you twat!" She whispered yell wrapping her arms around my neck. "Which one are you talking about?" I asked smirking. "Keep your mind at bay, Christopher, or else." She threatens. I put my hands up in surrender. She only called me Christopher when she was really mad and didn't want to show it. "Have you read my letter?" I asked smoothening her tangled hair. "You're letter?" She asked suspicious. I saw the letter popping out of her jacket. I got the tip. "Hey what the he-" I cut her off by handing her the letter. "This letter. Don't read it out loud, reading this would've avoided you worrying." I replied as she opened the letter and started to read.
She gasped as she finished reading and gave me another kiss on the lips. "I love you too." She whispered as we pulled away. I smiled kissing her forehead. "You came back early." I commented as she got off my lap and sat beside me. "I had a feeling that if I didn't come back early, I'd loose you completely again... and I almost did." She replied pulling me up with her. "Let's go home." She said intertwining our hands as we walked toward the motor bike. "Emily, didn't you read my letter properly?" I asked as she stopped walking mid-way.
"Christopher, I read the whole letter and I understand that you want to give me time and you already did and it almost sent me flying off that thing. I want you to stay even until Tom asks again or if the kids and I are ready for you to go." She replied turning to me at the brim of tears. I had wide eyes and pulled her in for a hug. "Ems, I'm so sorry." I whispered tilting her head up and wiped her tears away. She hugged back tightly and I smiled kissing her head. "I want you to have this back. You don't need to return it. It's yours." She whispered reaching something in her back pocket then showed my my key. I smiled and took it from her. "Let's go home." I whispered taking my bag ad handing it to Emily. "Hey wh-" I cut her off with my index finger. "I'm driving. You'll have to stay behind me and sleep." I replied as she smiled and tossed me the keys. "Who owns the bike?" I asked as I rode first. I rain hadn't stopped. "Lance! Let's go! It's freezing!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around me and we drove back.
12:25am
We reached home drenched with water. I parked the bike an we rushed to the house. "Where's your key?" She asked as I got it from my pocket and handed it to her. We got in and immediately rushed to our room and removed our clothes leaving our underwear on. "Where did you get your raincoat for the bag?" She asked as we laid down together. "Came with the bag." I replied as I covered us both with the comforter. "I'm cold." She stated shivering. I smiled and pulled her closer. "Goodnight, Ems." I whispered giving her cheek a kiss. "Goodnight, Chris." She whispered falling asleep. I smiled, she isn't mad anymore.
