Episode 35: Grande-Finale
?Bryan?
“Son”.
“Don’t call me that”. I snapped at him harshly.
“I came to see how you are faring”. My Dad sounded calm. “You need to get some rest, son”.
“I am not your son, you made that clear to me when you threw me out of your life”.
He sighed. “We need to talk”.
“We’ll just excuse you both”. Mia said as the others followed her out of the room.
“How you feeling?”. He asked softly.
“I don’t know, ask the doctor”.
He sat on one of the chairs. “Mia called telling me what happened”.
“And you came rushing back home like the caring father you are”. I said sarcastically.
“You got shot with a freaking bullet and you expect me not to come back”.
“I didn’t expect you to come back after all these years”. I said lowly.
“I know I was wrong but__”.
I cut him off. “If you came back looking for some stupid forgiveness then you are not getting it from me”.
“Enough with this attitude”. He said sternly.
“I tried to contact you for four years but you shut me out and now you come back here expecting me to hug you after everything”.
He didn’t say anything.
“I could have died”. I said tearfully. “You could have lost me just like you lost Mum”.
“Don’t talk about your mother”.
“Why? You’ve moved on already?”. I mocked him.
“Stop this”.
“Is there some mistress that you replaced Mum with?”. I continued.
“Do not talk to me that way, young man. I’m your father”. He shouted angrily.
I flared up. “You are not my father because you threw those rights away when you left wallowing in my own grief”.
“Your grief? Heck, i lost my beloved wife, my company went down the drain because of what you did”.
“And it all comes down again to your stupid companies. Always about your companies”.
“What you did ruined my reputation and made me lose contracts, businesses and partnerships”. He yelled angrily.
“And I lost my Dad”. I yelled back at him.
He looked at me stunned. “What?”.
“You heard me, you were supposed to be there for us after Mum’s death but you just shut me out”. I told him. “You completely ignored the fact that you had a family and children to take care of”.
“I left Mia in charge of you and Victoria”.
I scoffed. “Mia? What is she? Like our caretaker?”.
He frowned at what I said.
“Mia wasn’t even a full adult back then and you expected her to take care of her two younger siblings on her own”.
“I gave her full support”.
“From where? Brazil? You gave Mia full support while you were far way in Brazil”.
“Who do you think supported you, Mia and Victoria financially, i may not have been around all these while but you guys were well taken care of”.
“Can you hear yourself? Will financial support help Victoria overcome her panic attacks, huh? You tell me”.
His face depicted surprise.
“So you didn’t know that one”. I chuckled sadly. “She wakes up every night crying from nightmares, you don’t know that too”.
“Mia never told me”. He said lowly.
“Why would she tell you? What help could you have given her?”. I asked. “You said you supported us financially but we didn’t need that, all we wanted was love and attention just like Mum used to give us”.
“I know what I did was wrong, thats why I came back to make amends”.
“What if it was too late?”.
“I’m happy you survived it”.
“What if I didn’t? Huh, what if the bullet has killed me, would you be saying all these trash?”.
“I’m trying to apologize, dammit as a father would apologize to his son but you are making this hard for me”.
“I also was trying to apologize throughout this past years but what did you do, you went far to the extent of disowning me”.
“Your mother died, i only did that out of blindness and rage”.
“I don’t want you here”. I said tearfully.
“Bryan”.
“You left me for the past four years and you come back all of a sudden asking me to let you back in my life and you think its that easy?”. I shouted at him.
“At least I’m back now”.
“That doesn’t make difference because you are dead to me”. I said truthfully.
“Son, I came when I heard what happened to you. That means I still care a lot about you”.
“How many times do I have to say that I am not your son?”.
“Bryan”. He called again
“Just leave”. I shouted angrily.
“We are not done talking”. He said and walked out.
I rested back on the pillows as I closed my eyes, hot tears flowed through my eyes as I sobbed quietly.
“Mia, what a long talk”.
I opened my eyes to see Mia.
“What did he say?”.
“He wants to come back”. I told her.
“And what did you say?”. She probed me.
“He’s no longer my father”.
She sighed. “Oh Bryan”.
“Thats the truth”.
“Give the old man a chance”.
“He never gave me a chance”.
“You need to sort out your differences with Dad or else he’s gonna write you out of his will”.
“The day he disowned me, he told me to my face that I was never in the will”.
“All I’m trying to say that we should give him a chance to be a father again”.
“He threw that chance away”. I said angrily.
“Just give him a break, he lost his wife and now he almost lost his only son, how do you think he’s gonna feel?”.
“It really isn’t any of my business”.
“You know, Dad never left you”. She blurted out.
I looked at her confused, what is she talking about?
“Whenever we talked, he always asked about you and Victoria, he just couldn’t bring himself up to come back home”.
“You are lying”.
“Our house holds memories of Mum everywhere, it must have been really hard for him”. She said softly.
“With the way you are talking, I’m guessing you’ve forgiven him”.
“I never held a grudge against him”. She revealed. “Bryan, he’s my father, our father”.
“What about Tori?”.
“She’s happy to see Dad after years and you should be happy too”.
I frowned. “But I’m not”.
“Why are you like this? You’ve always wanted him to come back”.
“I never said i would accept him so easily”.
She sighed. “Okay then if you say so but just know that Dad is back for real this time”.
“I’ve forgiven him”. I spoke up.
“For real?”.
I smiled. “For real, after all he’s the only parent I have left”.
She hugged me before she left the room.
I sat up on the hospital bed slowly, i held my abdomen as the slight pain was still there.
“Careful there, you don’t wanna hurt yourself”.
I looked up at the direction of the voice and smiled.
?Elsa?
“You sure you wanna wait?”. Beverly asked.
“Just go on your date with Carl, i’ll be fine”.
She shrugged. “Okay then, see you later”.
“Say hi to Bryan for me”. Carl said before leaving with Beverly.
Sean had left earlier along with Kimberly and Justin. While Kyle gave Sapphire a ride back hime, i hope they make out during the ride.
I sighed as I sat on the chairs waiting in front of Bryan’s private room. I wonder what he and his Dad are talking about.
I hope he forgives he Dad for everything, i mean thats the only parent he has now so he should just let bygones be bygones.
The door opened and Bryan’s Dad came out looking dejected and sad. I watched as Mia went over to hug her Dad.
Maybe Bryan didn’t actually forgive him.
Come to think of it, they all looked like their Dad, brown eyes and light hair well except Mia who has auburn curly hair, maybe she got that from their Mum.
Then his Dad walked away to sit on one of the waiting chairs and Mia went into the private room.
I looked at his Dad, his head was on between his knees probably just maybe crying. He must have really regretted what he did but at least he came back.
I guess the old saying is true that you don’t know the importance of something until you have lost it.
He could have lost his only son and that helped him think things through clearly. He’s lucky that Bryan survived this.
I’m sure that he would have not being able to live with himself if Bryan had died. I just wish everything will be okay with them.
The door opened again and Mia came out going to sit over with her Dad. She hugged him by his side as they sat together.
I decided to stand up to go see Bryan, i stepped in the room and watched him as he tried to sit up on the bed.
He held his abdomen for a while before siting back up.
“Careful there, you don’t wanna hurt yourself”. I spoke up.
He looked at me and smiled. G0sh!! That smile that always manage to take my breath away.
“I won’t now that you are here”.
I giggled as I went over to sit beside him.
“How are you?”. I asked softly.
“I’m okay, pretty sure i’ll be up and running in a week”. He replied.
I held his hands. “I thought that you__”.
“Hey!! No talks like that”. He said interrupting me.
I nodded in response.
He took my hand and intertwined our fingers. “I miss you”.
“Everyone at school missed you, they sent flowers and chocolates”.
“What about you?”.
“Heck yeah I missed you”. I whispered.
“How long have I been out?”.
“Ten days”. I told him.
“That bullet really hit me that bad, must have hated me”. He joked.
“Why did you do that?”.
“Do what?”.
“Take the bullet for Kyle, it could have killed you”. I said tearfully.
“Kyle and I just made up at that time and I didn’t want to lose my best friend again”.
“You did that for him after all he put you through?”. I asked confused.
“I never hated Kyle because when he did all that, he did it out of love, desperation and a broken heart”. He explained.
I squeezed his palm softly. “You have a good heart, Bryan”.
“I guess thats why you fell in love with me”.
I laughed. “You have got to be kidding me”.
“What about Mason?”.
“His case is still being dragged in court since Mia filed charges against him”.
“I’ll those charges”.
I was taken aback. “Wait!! What?”.
“Mason only did that out of anger and__”.
I cut him off. “No talks about that, say something else”.
“Can I k!ss you”.
“Excuse me?”.
“I’m serious”.
He drew his face closer to mine. “Can I?”.
I closed the distance between us and kissed him first, he held my cheeks as he k!ssed me back.
This is totally unbelievable. Bryan and I finally k!ssing. And its just like I envisaged it, k!ssing with love and passion.
I held onto him as our lips moved with emotions, he bit on my lower lips and I gasped making him k!ss me deeper, more intensely.
I delved my fingers in his silky light hair, g0sh!! Its like i can’t feel myself anymore, he’s making me weak.
He groaned as the k!ss became more intense. After a while, he pulled away staring into my eyes.
“What?”. I asked shyly.
“I thought you would leave for Kyle”.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “And why would you think like that?”.
“Probably because you have a crush on Kyle?”.
I smiled at him. “You are so cute”.
“So i’ve been told”. He said.
“Kyle may be my Childhood Crush but you will forever be my love”. I told him truthfully.
He looked at me with so much love shining in his eyes. “You know what, you are the best person that has ever been in my life and I hope it stays that way”.
