Letting go Chapter 26
Christian The moment Molly's out of the room everyone at the table turns their attention towards me. “I already know what you are all thinking so save it. Yes, I was a dick to her ok but I still know that I’m right!”“Christian, what is it you think you know?” Tom's voice is more calm than before but I know him well and I know that it won’t take much to piss him off again. “That she’s hiding something. That the fact that one minute she doesn’t remember coming down here last night but then the next minute she does seems strange. Also don’t think I haven’t thought about the fact that she just upped and left both her and Archie’s family’s after the funeral and hasn’t bothered to even go back there to visit them never mind living there. And there’s also the fact that she doesn’t have a job but never seems short on money which makes me believe that she’s spending yours and I won’t have her rinse you for everything you have. No way, you worked too dam hard for that!” The more I speak th
Letting go Chapter 27
Molly My heart is broken, completely and utterly shattered! How could he do that to me? I know that this could be all made up and just some random woman trying her luck but only a few people knew about Archie's life insurance and aside from that there was a picture amongst the papers, a photo of a little girl and she was the mirror image of my late husband. "Molly, sweetheart look at me." Tom's voice drags my mind back into the room. for a split second, I wondered if he knew about this but I saw how sincere he was when he answered me, and in all honestly, I know that Tom wouldn't do that to me, he wouldn't keep a secret like that from anyone or for anyone, not even his best friend. "I'm going to go for a walk." I take the papers from Tom and place them back in the thick brown envelope as I turn to head for the door only I end up bumping into a pissed-looking Christian. "Shit, sorry! I'm just going to take a small walk and then I will be back for my stuff. It's all packed up and if
Letting go Chapter 28
Molly I've been walking for a while without any success in recognizing my soundings when the heavens open up and rain pours down on me. I dont think I've ever seen rain this bad before. It's freezing cold and within seconds battering down on me and everything around me leaving my clothes completely soaked through. What the hell? I decide to start jogging hoping to figure out where I am a lot sooner than if I was walking, however, after some time I realize that it isn't going to work. The ground beneath my feet is starting to get muddy and slippery and if I keep running I will end up face down in the mud. The wind is picking up and I'm starting to think that maybe this rain is more than just that, maybe there's a storm coming that I hadn't heard about. As I keep walking carefully avoiding falling flat on my face as much as possible I pick up a nose amongst the rain and wind and I'm pretty sure it's a dog barking. I keep heading towards the sound and feel relief when I hear the ba
Letting go Chapter 29
Christian I’m at the front door in seconds while Tom already has my mom on the phone. "I’m going to head out to the fields and start pulling in the animals!" Hunter shouts while already running toward the horses. We have a shed that’s made to withhold Tornados that’s big enough for all of our animals. We’ve only had to use it once since we’ve lived here and all of the Animals survived so I’m praying it works this time too. “They are at the top of the lane. They headed back as soon as they heard the alarm.” Tom's words bring me some much-needed relief but I’m still on edge. “Oh thank fuck for that!” The squeeze that’s got a hold of my heart loosens slightly but still, it’s tight and I feel like I’m heading for a fucking heart attack. I feel like I'm holding my breath until the moment that I see my parent's old beat-up truck makes its way down the long road that leads to our front door. “Call Callum and Jack, tell them to get their asses back here now!” “Already on it.” I turn to
Letting go Chapter 30
Molly By the miracle of god, I’m still holding on and somehow I’ve even managed to get a hold of the wood with my other hand but still, I know I don’t have much longer in me. This rain and wind are like something you see in a movie but I ain’t acting, this is real and I’m pretty much screwed here. I try to look over my shoulder to see the old man but unless I want to break my neck I’m not getting a look at him anytime soon. I can still hear barking though which means the dog is ok, I just pray the old guy is too. “Help! Please god, help us!” I catch his words as he continues to scream out. Considering the noise from the wind and rain his voice is loud but I don’t hold any hope that anyone will hear us. Hell I doubt anyone is even out here with this storm. I want to say I wish I hadn’t come out here but if I didn’t there wouldn’t be anyone here to help the old guy. Although I’m not much freaking help right now am I! My fingers are starting to cramp and it’s getting insanely painfu
Letting go Chapter 31
Christian My heart is pounding and while both my lungs and legs are burning I don’t slow my pace. The bridge is a 15-minute walk from here so it shouldn’t take me long to get there if I keep going. The bridge is also in the complete opposite direction on the part of the river where Molly usually goes so how the hell has she ended up there? “Chris, what’s going on?” Jack shouts out the words in between puffed-out breaths as he appears beside me keeping up with my pace. It takes me just seconds to realize that all of my brothers are behind me but I’m not surprised, this is just how we are, we’re there for each other and always have each other's backs even if we don’t know what’s going on. “I’m not sure, I couldn’t hear Tom greatly but he was screaming for Molly to hold on.” I don’t need to say anymore, we just keep running with all we have. We make it to the river bank in just a few minutes and I swear the sight we are greeted with makes me stop breathing for a second. Molly is ha
Letting go Chapter 32
Christian It takes us about 20 minutes to get through the forest and back to our land. We’ve all shared out carrying Geroge and it may not have been an easy job but there’s no way any of us would have left him there. “Chris, what are we going to do about Lightning?” Shit that bloody horse! “I don’t know Zack, I really don’t.” “Wait, what’s wrong with Lightning?” Molly's voice makes my heart tug, it has many times but I’ve not wanted to admit it to myself. She hasn’t been here long but I know that she has visited Lightening several times since their first meeting and she seems to like him. “We’ve put all the animals into the safe shed but we can’t move him. He’s lashing out.” We come around from the back of the house and it’s a relief to have the storm shelter in sight. “You guys get Mr. Clutterbuck to safety. I’m going to do the same with Lightning!” Molly's words have my heart pounding for all the wrong reasons. “No, you're getting into the shelter!” The words leave my mouth bef
Letting go Chapter 33
MollyYou hear people say “I saw my life flash before my eyes” But I could never understand that saying… not until now anyway. The fear I felt while hanging on to the bridge was real and scary and for a moment, I really thought that my end had come but I pushed it aside and convinced myself that even if I did fall, I’d still survive somehow. But right now in this very moment as I watch the Tornado fastly approaching the farm I finally understand the meaning and fuck it’s terrifying.“Molly!” I snap out of my thoughts when I hear Christian’s voice. I don’t know how long he’s been calling me but I’m pretty sure that I zoned out for a moment there. Wrong time for that Molls! “Molly move!” He grabs my hand and pulls hard. “Fuck that’s coming fast! Shit… shit! The horse stable is our only hope, we’re not going to make it to the shelter.” Is he crazy?“Christian, we’ll never survive in there, You need to get back to your kids!” We’re both screaming to be heard over the wind and rain and
