Before he could say another word,Aria stumped pass him and went back to Ethan.
He felt rejected again,and this time it hurts.
Autumn asked her sister out with her that night,she drove downtown to a small cafe.
"You have no idea how much I missed you Ria",she said after they took their seats. "I wanted to return to Hamilton but I couldn't. Larry's bad boy situation got out of hand and I had to stay and comfort grandma and grandpa,they were devastated by mommy's death,by you going and Larry wasn't helping."
"If apologizing is what I'm going to do for the rest of my life,then so be it;I'm sorry Autumn. I never knew I hurt you, grandma,grandpa and Larry. Is that why you people refused to speak with me for two years?"
"Yes Ria,we had to find ways to erase you from our lives,you were with the enemy now."
"I was so miserable Autumn,for two years no calls from everyone that I love,I nearly lost my mind that I had to live by therapy. I attended therapist sessions every Wednesday and Friday for a year and a half. I thought I was going to follow mommy."
"I regret every day of my life,I regret abandoning you,I regret not checking up on you when I was your elder sister and it was my duty. I'm also sorry Ria."
"Did you have any plans of going back to look for me in Hamilton?"
"Grandma and I wanted to,but the problem was daddy. I never wanted to set my eyes on him again and do did grandma. We knew he was going to take good care of you because he loves you,and we found relaxation in it."
