Crystal Lemiere
I walked into the house and threw myself to the sofa. I just got home from Raja Ampat, I always go there once a month hoping that one day Lucas will comeback but until now.. there's still no trace of Lucas. I looked for him all over the world for 3 years but still can't find him. If you think I will give up, you're all wrong. I won't give up until I find him.
"You're home. Found him yet?" Brandon asked and Priscilla smacked his arm for asking me that question.
"Not yet.. I will find him one day." I said.
"Don't give up just yet, Crystal." Priscilla said as she sat across me.
"I won't and I will never give up." I smiled at her and she gave me a thumbs up. I closed my eyes and fell asleep right away. I got up because someone picked me up from the sofa.. I opened my eyes slowly and found my dad carrying me upstairs to my room.
"Hey dad." I said as he put me down on my bed.
"Hey pumpkin, you tired?"
"Yeah, jetlagged a little bit." I said and he caressed my head.
"Found him yet?"
"No." I said and he sighed. He looked at me sadly and he looked away from me.
"It's been 3 years, why don't you just give up? He won't come back."
"He will. I know you hate him but can you please.. forgive him when he's back." I held his hand and he shook his head.
"As your dad, I want someone who can fight for you, someone who can protect you, someone who can make you happy and someone who can love you with all his heart. Lucas doesn't have all that.."
"You told him that you don't want him for me right? Dad, he doesn't only care about me but he cares about all of you guys." I said and he knew that I'm right about that point. Lucas fought with Kristopher alone and he looked like he's dying when I saw him. The other told me that he blew up the underground on purpose to block the access of the door preventing my dad and the others from getting inside.
I can't imagine if my dad joins the fight, he will die because Kristopher is big and tall. He has a titanium arm and leg. He's not as strong as he was now.
"Now.. go to sleep, you have a lot of work tomorrow." He said and I nodded. He kissed my forehead and walked out from my room. I sat up on my bed and looked up to the ceiling.
I miss Lucas. It's been 3 years and still.. no news about him. I really miss him, when will he come back to me? At least, I know that he's still alive. It's better to know that he's alive than he's dead.
I got up from my bed and walked out to my balcony. I looked up to the sky and sat down on the chair. I played some music and fell asleep there.
"Crystal! Cryst-" I got up because my dad literally called my name crazily. I turned to him and he looked at me in relief.
"What?"
"I thought you're running away or something." He said as he took a really deep breath. My dad is already in his suit and I bet he's ready to go to work. He keeps checking on me since Lucas left. I know he's worried about me but I think he's too much.
"I'm sitting out here.. I fell asleep." I said and he sat on the chair beside me.
"Still thinking about that bastard?"
"He has a name, dad, and yes.. I'm still thinking about him." I said.
"He won't come back to you."
"He will come back to me."
"He needs to go through me first." He said in a possessive tone and I chuckled.
"When did you realize that you love mom?" I asked him as I turned my head to him.
"It took me long enough to realize it but somehow.. I just felt it." He said and I looked down to the necklace that Lucas gave me.
"He will come back.. sooner or later.. he will comeback."
"I know a lot of nice and kind guys, do you want me to introduce them to you?"
"No thanks.. I love jerks and assholes. You were one right?" I smirked and he turned his head to me.
"I was a kind kid."
"Bullshit dad.. I know you were an asshole. I know it because mom told me."
"You will go tonight right?" My dad changed the topic and I chuckled.
"I will, don't worry." I said and he got up from his seat.
"I'll be going first, don't be late to work." He said and I nodded.
"Yes, captain." I said and he left. I sighed and looked up to the sky.
"It's 3 years.. 2 months.. 1 day. I miss you.. a lot." I got up from my seat and walked inside my room. I got into the shower and got ready to go to work.
I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to smile. I put on my makeup and curled my hair. I put on my work clothes and walked out from my room. I walked downstairs to the dining room.
"Morning mom." I said as I sat beside Matthew.
"Morning honey." It's only me and my mom now since all of my brothers already moved out with their wives. I ate my breakfast with my mom and just talked about random things. After that.. I walked out from my house and got into my car.
"Today will be another dull day." I mumbled.
