I Need You

38. Possessive Little Girl

I am sorry, but I have no option but to do this
I had to make this decision for you
Stay in my shoes till I get back
The last note may not be true
I don't think I'll get back 
This is a very serious thing and I had to involve myself in this
Sorry for leaving you like this
You are strong
Take care of Em and the child
Get someone to love you the way you love your family ❤❤❤

He left knowing that he won't come back. Then why did he have to make the promise. He isn't dead. He won't break a promise he made to me. He will never. And I will not let him do that. I will do everything he asked me to and I will wait for him to return. He will come back someday. I will wait.

I go to his room and take a shower. I wear his shirt and pull my hair into a messy bun. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH YOUR HAIR WHEN I AM NOT AROUND. Memories of him come back to me. Those are the only things left for me. He isn't there here for me. I am not able to catch up any sleep. 

I turn on the tv to watch a movie. I am so used to watching movies with him. He got used to the movies I watch. So I will get used to his favorites by the time he comes back. I play Quiet Place. It isn't scary anymore. There isn't any emotion for me now. 

I watched Quiet Place and The Cojuring. I go downstairs and head out of the house. I go to the cabin. I open the room which has his photos. He left only his memories and photos for me. Just then something licks my feet. I look at it. The puppy I saved a few days back. I lift it up and pat it's head. I will leave it with Em tomorrow. I take it to the training area and put it down.

I pick a gun and shoot the target. The puppy gets scared. I slowly kneel down beside it and pat it's head. It has a chain. I didn't observe it. I take the chain into my hands and it has charms with letters P I X I E. It sleeps on the floor.

I sit beside it for some time. After it wakes up, I take it to the living room and poured some milk into the bowl. It happily drinks and runs it's head against my leg. I leave it there and head upstairs to his room. 

In the morning, I took Pixie to Em. She smiles when she sees Pixie in my hands. She immediately takes it from me. I love to see her like this. And play with Ethan for some time. He catches my finger with his whole hand. I will save him, I will save Em and I will save aunt Lisa no matter what.

My phone buzzes in my pocket. I take out to see who and it is Klaus. I get up from the couch and go into the balcony to attend the call. "You have to attend a press meet now" he says as soon as I pick the call and he doesn't wait for my reply. He cuts the phone. And then he sends me the location. 

I check my reflection in the mirror and set my hair that I pulled into a pony. I say bye to Em and leave the house. I head in the direction of the venue.

There are many reporters than I expected. I just sigh and sit in the chair Klaus pointed to. He stands behind me and there are men around the stage. I find Stephen on the far end, he smiles at me. I just nod and look at the reporters. I motion them to start.

"Why did Mr. Aaron go to Switzerland?" the reporter sitting right infront me asks me. 
"I would have been happy if he told me that"
"Some of the board members told that you are a graduate from The Michigan. Is it true?" another one asks. I nod to this question.
"But you just turned 22 a few months back. At what age did you graduate?" another one asks. I think all the reporters here wants to get a chance to ask and so they are asking in turns.
"Because I was to intelligent to skip classes when I was young" I say with a firm voice.
"Why did you have to skip classes" another reporter asked me.
"Because I was a possessive little girl and I don't want any other girl to lay eyes on him. I thought that I can have him fully if I was in his class. But he was 5 years older than me. When I told my teachers that I wanted to skip 5 classes, they put a condition that I have to score more than the top student of the class. I passed 4 tests easily, but I couldn't beat Aaron. So I ended up being his junior in the school" I say with a pout.
They all burst into laughter. I see everyone smiling. I want the world to be like this. "Did they never asked you for a reason?" a person from the back asks. "Never" I say.
"So is this the end to your singing career?" I have been thinking about this. I don't know what to do. But surely not I guess.
"No. Surely not. Once he comes back I will sing again" everyone's face shows that they are confused. "You mean he is alive?" asks a reporter. "I don't know. But I think he is" I say and get from the chair to leave. I don't want to answer anymore questions. 

Klaus and the other men follow me. Stephen opens the door for me and motions me to get in. He drives me to the office. I get down and get into the lift. Everyone bow their heads to me. I get into the room and find Evelyn sitting in the couch. 

Klaus comes to hand me a file. "You didn't tell me that you had such a handsome secretary" she says after he leaves.

"Oh I don't know that he is handsome" I say looking into the file. I remember Aaron showing me a file that has information about all the places he owns and the file about the mafia heads who passed on their positions to who. I rush home to get it with Evelyn.

I look through the file but there isn't even a single place that he owns in Switzerland. So the place he went surely isn't his. He went there to meet someone. Who???
