" Lurking In The Shadows"

" Chapter 46 ~ "

I came to my room and I laid down and all the thoughts that were running through my head from what my uncle told me earlier  I was just so upset. and just could not hold back the tears for what my papa did to my ma'ma and me.

there was a soft knock at the door I said yeah. it is me, Kyle. come on in and he did and he saw me crying again he came sat down beside me and gave me a hug. Carla, I wish I can take your pain away from you that's deep in your heart but I know I can't 

but I can be here beside you and hold you whenever you need it my heart. then I started to cry even more. whats wrong did I say something to hurt you. know you said everything that was so sweet and it kinda got to me after what I heard from my uncle

today do you want to talk about it some if not that's good with me I will be right here with you for anything and whenever you are ready. I know and thank you so much for being by my side it means a lot to me right now.

as I was crying I told him, Kyle, yes. my uncle told me stuff that just torn me apart and how I didn't see it but I was young so I didn't know no. don't go blaming yourself again for something you didn't know because you were only a little girl.

I know but I can't help it. well at least try you are not a wonder women and can't fix everything in life live love be happy and stop always worrying all the time you are only one person remember that. yeah, you are right. and yeah I know you still will

worry no matter what I say but maybe one day you will get it and stop and I'm sure that your ma'ma would not want you this way. yeah I know she would not either I will try. and I know you will it will just take time. kyle yes." my papa was a mean man

my uncle told me when the day that my ma'ma die he was here and my papa didn't care and he was not by her side are checked on her at all. and he said ma'ma told him that it was papa's fault for her being attacked because he didn't put

out the meat like he should of and he told her that it took them long enough to attack her because he was waiting for them to do it. and she told my uncle this in her deathbed and that he drags her to the house he didn't pick her up.

kyle he killed my ma'ma I hate him for that why did he do it if he stopped loving her why not just make her leave he didn't have to kill her he just makes me sick and I was crying so hard Kyle didn't say a word but hold me tight till I fell asleep in his arms.

when I woke I was in still the same spot laying here in his arms he did not leave me at all I looked at him with a smile and he smiled back. how are you today day love? I guess I'm all right thank you for being here with me. anytime. oh, I'm sorry let me move

I'm sure you lost feeling by now in your arm. he smiled. yes, maybe a little bit but it was all worth it to keep you safe and comfortable that's all that matters to me. aww, you are too kind to me only because I care about you more than you ever know

I know you do and I never had anyone care about me like you do well my ma'ma did but you know what I mean". yes, I do so how about some coffee and some breakfast. yes, that sounds great let's go he smiled.

now let's go get some coffee please because I will need it." ok then let's go and we laughed. I wonder if they are up and took the puppies out. well, I guess we will see soon when we came out of the room

and the front door was open of the house and the coffee was already made and sam walked in. hey, y'all sleepy heads morning how was the night well for this first time in a long time it was quite outside. well, that great news sam I hope it will stay that way

yeah ok whatever little bro. well, sam and clay went to her ma'ma and I and Kyle were having our coffee. hey, Carla. yeah, when your uncle comes I needed to go into town and get some stuff for here. oh ok, but I won't be long I promise.

its fine go now if you like I'm not gone to leave till your uncle get here ok. are you sure because you can go I will be all right? know I'm gone to wait with you and enjoy this alone time and look at you in those sexy pj's and we laughed

Kyle, I'm gone to get you a matching pair if you keep that up he laughed.and I will wear them to so I can match my boo. and I blush. why are you blushing for because I never had anyone tell me the stuff that you do and it makes me feel good?

what know one really. know I never had time I didn't even think about a guy I was so into my school work to make my papa proud and that was the only thing on my mind. but before I came back home some friends of mine talk me into

to go with them to Florida for spring break but I got the call to come home that papa was on his deathbed. so I caught the first flight out here that night. oh, I'm sorry. that's ok don't be it is not your fault it's just something that happens.

and not anyone can do about it how about you Kyle have you went to school. if you don't mind me asking. know not at all my ma'ma had homeschool me at night because I will help my father during the day and I did get my GED it took a little while but I got it.

well that's great you help your dad but you didn't give up on your schooling like a lot of people I see do. yeah, I guess your right. and kyle I'm proud of you-you're a great man in every way even if you had a GED are not. aww, thank you, Carla, no need to

thank me it was all you.
