Chapter 38


    CHAPTER 38.


    He rolled up the sleeves and raked hand through his hair.


    His eyes went to Gabby before turning to me slowly. My eyes were on her, she looked so lifeless


    and delicate and broken.


    Soemthing came into view and I turned my head slowly, my eyes flickering to keep a straight vision


    and there was Edmunds hand, reached out to help me up from the floor.


    I shook my head and fell on my elbows.


    “Come on. Get up.”


    “It’s my fault,” I heard the tremble in my voice, one I had only ever heard on time before and t was


    when my brother left the pack.


    Nobody else heard it that time, it was only him as we said goodbye


    Now they all heard it and I didn’t care, I couldn’t care, there was nothing in me that cared about


    anything other than the girl being lifted into Nick’s arms.


    “Yes, it is. It’s your fault but it’s also going to be you that fixes it. He said.


    “We all know it, the witch said so herself. You re mates and you’re going to put together what you


    broke.” He reached down and grabbed my hand, pulling me up on my feet.


    “And we’re not going to let either of you out of our sight until it is done. I don’t care if it takes years,


    you’re the only one that can da it. He sounded defeated.


    They were all watching me and I saw that they all agreed.


    “We have to go, we have to take her home.” Nick said and lifted her closer.


    Home, s she wasing home. Home to where it all began…


    Ca*sy opened the door and ran out in panic when she saw us. She ced her hands on Gabby’s


    head and then quickly ran back to the back of the car and pulled open the trunk.


    She came back with a nket and opened the car door. They ced her in the back of the car with


    her head resting on Ca*sy’sp and she ced the nket she had picked out, over her body.


    I heard an engine roaring to life and looked across the road. Edmund had hot wired a car and they


    guys were getting into it. Noah behind the wheel and Edmund beside him. Nick rode with us. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    We were driving down the dark road with no traffic slowing us down. There was no music and the


    silence was both deatening and peaceful at the same time.


    “It’s gonna take time Nick said and broke the silence. Cas*y was asleep in the back seat with her


    handying over Gabby.


    “you’re gonna have to be patient. She will fight it, all of it, including herself. Whatever happened to


    her, it broke thest pieces of humanity she had left. You broke her heart He turned his head and


    looked at me.


    “And your brother broke her soul. Give it time, and we will all be there to make sure she stays safe.”


    “From me?” I asked lowly in a dark tone.


    He looked back kout on the road and leaned his head back against the head rest.

    “From herself.


    We parked the car and the other two were right behind us, parking next to us.


    Nick was about to pick up Gabby locking my eyes on her pale face.

    ced my hand on his shoulder and he stepped aside. I lifted her up, pulling her close and


    We walked up the stairs and I was heading to my room but then stoped and Ca*sy asked me what


    was wrong. I didn’t answer her but instead walked down the hallway, closer to the stairs there was a


    guest room and she opened the door. I ced Gabby down on the bed, pulling the covers up and


    tucking her in.


    I felt the tears pushing behind my eyes and clenched my jaw, biting hard as I cupped her face.


    “You’re home now.” I said and pinched the bridge of my nose.


    I couldn’t let go of her, feeling her skin and knowing she was here…I couldn’t bring myself to go but


    knowing that if she saw me when she first woke up, it wouldn’t make things easier on her.


    “I’m so sorry but I promise you” I said and gently stroked her cheek.


    “-i will spend the rest of my life trying fixing th


    fixing this. I’ll never give up no matter how long it takes, I will never leave your side and I will


    live til I die regretting what I did to you.”


    1 pulled my hand away and wiped my eyes as the tears broke through.


    “F*ck.” I spat when I closed the door.


    Another door opened up and my mother stepped out.


    She knew that it wasn’t good, she knew something horrible had happened and she knew that it was


    my fault.


    She walked over and went directly to Edmund, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and


    pulled him close to her. At first he was stale, unsure of how to react but then he slowly hugged her


    back, wrapping his arm around her, tightening them. He burried his face in her neck and her arms


    tightened as well, stroking the back of his head with her hand.


    She pulled away and Edmund turned his head away


    by from us, wiping his eyes and refusing to look up.


    “You boys will all get your own rooms up here on the same floor as your sister. This is your home


    too.” She raised her head and gestured with her head for them too follow her.


    “Casandra,


    to this one is free, stay there for as long as you want,” She said and smiled. Casandra wiped her


    tears and


    the room next to


    nodded her head.


    “Boys, you can either choose these two rooms and two of you will share or there are more empty


    rooms down the hallway that way,” She said and pointed down the hall. All three of them walked to


    the two bedrooms across from Gabby’s.


    Nick pulled Edmund in under his arm and Noah got his own room.


    “Thank you,” My mother smiled and bowed her head before turning around about to walk back to


    her room. She stopped and turned halfway.


    You’re going to f


    to fix this, Aiden. I know that you, will,” I saw the disappointment in her eyes as she looked down on


    the floor and then


    walked back to her room.
