Chapter 192: She was made to be yours
River POV
He locks eyes with me and stops moving. I drop my bag and run to him. My heart is pounding and my legs feel like jello.
I stop right in front of him and we just look at each other for a moment. He has light brown hair still and his eyes are the same.
I remember those eyes, those big blue sparkling eyes. I grab him and hug him smashing my self into his body as tight as I can.
We both cry and hold each other. We're both smiling and crying as we part. He sweeps my hair behind my ear and just looks at my face.
"My god River. It's really you. Your really alive" he cries harder holding my face in his hands.
I hug him again. I know how he feels, before I knew he was alive but seeing him and touching are completely different and now I feel like it's real. I have my brother back.
My phone starts beeping crazy as messages start coming through.
I have a few new texts and some missed calls.
I kiss Ryder's cheek and head to the van. Flame walks up to him and starts talking to him in Italian. I get in the van to give them some privacy.
Annie's buckled up and playing with her barbie while we wait. I better see who's call and texted me.
Chailor- We just heard what happened. Call me when you can. We're waiting to see if you need us there or if we're meeting you at home. We love you.
Me- We just landed. I'm terrified. No one is telling me anything. I love you both too and I'll call you after I get to the hospital.
Chailor- Okay sweetface. Your brave and your strong. I'll talk to you soon. Send our love to him.
Kraizen- You missed training and you weren't at the clubhouse. Are you okay? Is this about the other night? I'm not going to apologize cause I'm not sorry about it. Just let me know your okay please.
Me- I'm fine. It's not about the other night, cause nothing happened. I had a emergency and had to leave town. I'll let you know what I can when I can. Please we've talked about this, all I'm wanting from you is friendship. That's what I need from you.
There's six missed calls from a unknown number. I'll have to remember to tell Brain or I guess Ryder or I actually don't know what to call him now.
There's Nothing from Lucky or Pickle's phones.
Flame and Ryder join us. We're all finally in and ready to go. My heart jumps in my throat when the suit guy says "We're five minutes from the hospital and three from the first drop off location"
Flame nods. They are holding hands and I can't quit staring at them. I hope they can work their stuff out now that I know everything. Ryder's eyes meet mine and I smile at him. He still has those little freckles across his cheeks. He's so handsome I can see why Flame fell for him.
Looking at him now I can see how people would think they are all real brothers. They could definitely be brothers all three of them. Ryder and Pickle look more alike then Lucky does but they could still be brothers.
We pull in front of a house and the driver opens the door and lowers the ramp for Ryder and we all follow him out. As we walk up to the house Annie's telling me a story and holding my hand tightly.
The door opens and Mia walks out. Her brown and blue hair hanging loose where it's usually up in a bun or in double pig tail buns. Her eyes aren't as bright as they usually are but she has a smile on her face. Crash looks the same. I forget that they are just kids I mean Mia's only almost 16 and Crash is barely 17. Have they've been running on their own this whole time? I hug them both as we go in.
Annie's showing Mia all her drawings and telling her a million stories all at once. Ryder is filing Crash in on what's happened. Flame is talking to some suited men in Italian. Maybe I should learn some. Suddenly I feel sick to my stomach and dizzy. I grab my stomach and point to the bathroom as I hurry in there. After throwing up everything I've ate in the last year, I slowly stand and wash my hands putting water on my face
I take a few drinks of my flask. I look like shit. I'm super pale and I have dark circles under my eyes.
"Mommy I stay and play with Mia and Rash?" Annie asks when I come out.
I smile at her and kiss her head. I walk over to the kitchen where Mia is "River she'll be fine with us. I'm making her some macaroni and cheese and hotdogs. She's protected here" I nod and hug her tightly.
"Thank you Mia. I'm trying to bring you all home. You guys need to be all together not separated and alone. I know you can do it cause I'm a survivor like you and we're fierce but I've learned we also need our friends and family." She hugs me tighter "Thank you River. I'll call you if she needs you. You know Abby was never her mom she was made to be yours." I start to cry a little "Thank you love. I love her like my own and when I bring her daddies home we'll make it official." I wipe my face and walk back out to her.
"Baby Bunny, mommy has to go somewhere but I'll be back. You have fun with Mia and Crash" I hug her tight and kiss her face all over.
"I love you Annie." I kiss her again.
"Bye mommy. I be a good girl" she kisses me and runs over to Crash "fly" she says putting her arms up to him. He grabs her and throws her in the air then when he catches her as he flys her all over the house. I really hate when they do that.
"Thank you guys. Bye baby" I yell blowing her kisses.
I cry as I walk to the van. My phone dings and my stomach flips.
Krazien- I just heard about your Ole Man.Damn girl I'm sorry, you should have told me. If you need me I'm here.
Me- Thank you.
Unknown number- What you thought you got rid of me. winky face I'm just teasing you sexy it's kinda our thing now I guess. When are we meeting up?
