Silent Beauty: Chapter Twenty

Chapter 20:

Ally's POV:

Liam and I were now alone in the kitchen eating our breakfast silently. I think we were both consumed with our own thoughts. I was thinking about how difficult Anthony's life must have been since he left and I felt guilty for being angry at him. It wasn't his fault that he didn't come back. He was kidnapped and I had no idea. I would just have to spend as much time with his as possible now that I had him back. I wasn't going to let him go again. 

Just as I thought that Anthony walked in with a lovestruck smile on his face. He seemed to be in his own world, and he was so out of it that he even ran smack dab into the wall. Liam and I just stared at him in shock before we both burst out laughing at the look on his face. Tony looked utterly confused as the impact made him finally snap out of his daze. He looked around and shook his head a few times before glaring at us and standing up quickly with a flushed face. 

He just grumbled to himself while making a plate of food and stomping over to sit by me while my laughter finally subsided into tiny giggles. I took a deep breath to calm myself down before remembering why Tony ran into the wall in the first place. I stared at him accusingly while he shifted uncomfortably under my gaze. "Anthony James Sanders. How dare you go see your mate without telling me where you were going?" I practically shouted seeing Tony flinch when I used his full name. 

I couldn't believe he would just leave like that. I know he needed to see his mate, and I never would have stopped him from going, but I would have liked to know that he was going. I would be devastated if he didn't come back and I thought that he left me again. I don't think I would be able to handle him leaving for a second time. 

Tears welled in my eyes just at the thought, and as Anthony tried to gather his thoughts. To my surprise Liam spoke, "Angel, you were knocked out and Anthony was looking lost so I told him to go see his mate. I know I should've told you, but I wanted to make sure you were alright when you woke up that it slipped my mind. I just had to let him go though because I know that if I was away from you, I wouldn't be able to stand it. I'm sorry." He looked down as he talked obviously ashamed, and he looked so sad that I couldn't help but wrap my arms around him. 

"Its alright, Liam. I understand." I whispered in his ear before pulling away and pecking him on the cheek. Then I turned to Tony who was also looking sad and ashamed. "Tony, I know that you needed to see your mate. I-I-I just couldn't stand the thought of you leaving me again and not coming back. I barely survived the last time you left." I stuttered out quietly and before I could break down in tears I stood up and rushed out. I didn't want Tony to feel bad so I ran up to my room with tears streaming down my face. 

I sprinted into my room and threw myself on the bed sobbing. I guess the thought of not having Anthony again brought back memories from when I was ten and how much worse my father became after he left. I can still clearly remember the night he left.

*FLASHBACK*

"I will come back for you, Alex. I am going to make sure that you have a better life than this. I'm going to get you away from him." Tony whispered into my ear as I cried into his shirt. I knew that he was leaving so he could help me, but I just didn't want to part with him. He was my protector.
