Welcome back to my Guardian Angel everyone, I think we are approaching the end of this series soon…. but I already have a very special project in planning on the way =P
Firstly I’m sorry if this chapter seems a bit slow and uneventful, I think this one is more about the characters developing more than the story but I hope you still like it!
Secondly, A BIG thank you to a very special simmer to me…. Havana123! Thank you for creating the FC to this site and for helping me do so much of the tech stuff, you are a true friend! OK back to the story…
No one said something for a long time…. Megan just drove around town….. I had been thankful for this at first, it gave me time to think…. But know that I just wanted to get out and away from the stress, it started to annoy me…
“WHERE ARE WE GOING?” I finally shouted in annoyance, I muttered sorry to everyone in the car afterwards… they all seemed to understand, Oliver gave me one of his laughs. How could I be falling for him?
Eventually we drove up outside Oliver’s house…. Megan turned to face Oliver and said “I think your family will be pleased to know you’re OK.” He smiled and said “Yeah they will thanks Meg!” It’s like we were already a big group of friends. I had never felt this happy before, before I had tried to push everyone away…. How wrong had I been?
We hadn’t got out the car for 5 seconds before Oliver’s adopted Dad came out…. He looked defeated almost dead. He didn’t seem to see us…
He just stood there and cried….. I felt so terrible inside…for a little while I forgot Oliver was standing right next to me… that’s when his voice hit me “Hey Dad, you didn’t give Mandy my room did ya?” Chris’ head jerked up immediately!
Time seemed to stop before me. They just stood there, I saw all sorts of emotions flash on Chris’ face… then a single tear fell from down his face “Your OK.”
“Yeah I am.” He walked a step closer to his father, though he didn’t move. He put his hands on Chris’ shoulders, just like he had done so many times with me, “It’s over now, they know I’m innocent, just look behind me.” He gestured to me, and I gave them both a little wave, suddenly feeling like I shouldn’t be here as they do this.
“I missed you Olly…. So much, don’t ever make me worry like that ever again!” I know he didn’t really blame Oliver… it wasn’t his fault… it felt so good to know that there was ONE decent parent in this town.
Then he came over to hug me, I was surprised, I expected him to blame me for what had happened… I was so used to blaming myself… but I should have known Chris would never do that…. He’s just too good.
Kris’ POV
I know I shouldn’t have been kissing her here, it felt disrespectful as Oliver had just returned, but I needed to let Megan know how much I cared… she had felt worthless for most of her life…. She was constantly put down by her mother and sister, she told me how she knew she wasn’t good enough for me, but she was wrong…. I could never be good enough for her, I loved her….
She has the most beautiful blue eyes.. Someone so beautiful shouldn’t be put down like she always is. “You are the most beautiful person in the world to me.” People thought I was good with girls, the truth was I wasn’t… I had never really known love before… until now. “Megan, I know that I am supposed to be going out with that Drake girl… but I’m not going to be with her, no matter what the consequences, there is only one girl I want to be with.
Rachel’s POV
Suddenly I was aware that someone else had joined us outside. Amanda, Oliver’s little sister, had run out of the house, crying, holding on to her big brother. They didn’t need to be related by blood, just like me and Kris, they would always be close and it warmed my heart to see them together again.
“I blamed myself you know…. I should have said something, anything to stop them from taking you…”
“Don’t blame yourself, no one was to blame, the only thing that matters is that I’m here and Rachel is safe.” He looked straight in to my eyes… his eyes were so beautiful.
“I missed you Olly.”
I missed him to. A lot. So much, it made me realise just how much I needed him, how much I cared about him, how much I loved him….. The problem was…. One, He was my best friend! 2, could it really be the same between us since this happened and 3 I loved Taylor too!
Then Amanda came over to me, “I’m glad you’re OK!” I smiled at her and gave her my thanks, and apologies for the ‘misunderstanding’ that happened, then she pulled me close and whispered ‘I know you like him’ smiled at me again and walked away…. I swear that girl can read minds.
“Well my sweetheart, me and Rachel should be going, you know what my mother is like, the next time you see me, I am going to be an official single man! Whether my mother wants it or not, let’s go Rach!”
I didn’t really want to go and face my mother, but I knew I had to…
“He’s right Rach, you need to go. Thanks for everything, I’m really glad you’re in my life, and I am never going to let you walk out of it again, thanks for always being here for me.”
“The same for you, there is no one I would rather risk my freedom for.” Guilty thoughts rushed through my head ‘Taylor? You’d do it for him’ And I’m glad we’re talking again to, you’re the best friend I’ve ever had, see you at school!”
I pulled him closer to me again, I don’t know why, it just felt right to be in his arms, I just held him, it was like it was just us 2 in our own little world…
“Rach? Are you sure you’re OK?” He gave me that look, he was worried about me, and I couldn’t leave him feeling like that. “Course I’m ok, just wanted to say good bye, that’s all. Goodnight!”
And with a wave I quickly got into the cab with Kris. As I saw the happy family grow further and further away I couldn’t help but feel happy for them, I wish I had a real family like that.
Oliver’s POV
“I’m worried about her Dad, something is defiantly different about her, I hope she doesn’t blame herself, it seems like she’s getting ready to tell me something, something big.”
“Don’t you also have something big to tell her?” Mandy responded, sometimes she can be so annoying…. Annoyingly right.
“OK Rach, ready to go home?”
“No.” I laughed as he began to drag me to our home.
When we entered my home it didn’t feel right, it didn’t feel like home. Then I felt Kris stiffen before me…. “Hello Shannon.” He said in an unhappy voice.
“There you are hunny! I missed you so much!”
I’d seen Shannon Drake once before… at one of those parties Tamsin made me and Jasmine go to, properly trying to find us future husbands, all I knew was that Shannon wasn’t good people.
She pulled him into a hug. It was like the one I gave Oliver, filled with love. But it was nothing like the hug I gave Oliver, this hug was possessive and forced upon my brother, I knew Kris. He loved Megan, not this girl!
Kris’ POV
She kissed me! I could not believe her! I had never felt so angry and violated before in my life! Not only towards Shannon, but towards Tamsin, my mother to. She never put her children first, just her name and I hated it! She knew I didn’t want to live with life, and from this day on I wasn’t going to!
“What’s wrong boyfriend? Why don’t you give me a cuddle and tell me what’s wrong?”
“STOP IT! I’m NOT your boyfriend, I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE!”
“You’re a horrible little spoilt tramp of an heiress and I will NEVER go out with you, let alone get married!”
“How dare you speak to me like that, my parents will run your family into the ground!”
Rachel’s POV
Shannon was one of those pretty girls. I will admit, she was very beautiful, but that’s all she was. She was a spoilt horrible little daddy’s girl, who has had everything in her life given to her, unlike people like me, who had everything taken, it sickened me to know people like me had to suffer while she has a good life!
Just like that her face changed, from sadness and hurt to absolute anger.
“Listen Shannon, I’ve fallen for someone else, just go with your pride and don’t come back OK?”
“Oh, trust me. You made the biggest mistake of your life here today Kris Miller.”
Suddenly Tamsin and I’m guessing Shannon’s parents walked around the corner, Tamsin looked at me, but that was it, no happiness or relief that I was back and safe, how could I have ever thought of her as my mother? Like she could even compete with my mother anyway?
“How could you say that about me Kris? That’s so mean!”
“Oh Daddy! Kris said he thinks I’m a horrible person, who comes from a horrid family and that I’m not worth to be with him, he told me he wouldn’t be SEEN with me let alone MARRY ME!”
I hated girls like this, girls who twist the truth, sure Kris said he didn’t want to be with her, but he never insulted her like this, I wasn’t going to let her say this about him, no way!
“Miller! Is this true? Is THIS what your family thinks of us? You promised this wedding would go ahead… you know what will happen if it doesn’t!”
I can see where Shannon get’s her ‘politeness's from.
I can’t believe what my ‘mother’ said next.
“Don’t worry, I will MAKE SURE that Kris apologises for those terrible things, they will be wed, I promise you that!”
“KRIS!? What are you doing? You know we need their money right now!”
“Mother, listen to me. I love Megan. I love her so much, she sees me for who I am, not because I’m a rich heir or whatever, and I’m going to date her. Who knows maybe even one day we will get married! And you have to accept that.”
“I will NOT allow this!”
“Just shut it Tamsin.”
“How DARE you talk to me like that! You ditched us! Because of you, the Jones family are considering walking away from us, because you ran off to goodness knows where!”
She was REALLY getting on my nerves and I had had enough of people talking down to me lately.. what I did next felt so good!
“Oh please! Like you cared about me anyway, like you care about your own children! Do you really think Kris is going to get married to this stuck up little princess? He’s 17 for goodness sake!”
Then she turned on me, pretty much like Diana had done a few days before, they would be great friends.
“How DARE someone of your blood talk about me like that!”
“My blood? What does that mean?”
“You’re not even related to Kris, your just some poor, scruff whose parents properly got bored of you, so Tamsin took you in like a mother, she’s defiantly an improvement.”
She did NOT insult my mother, I was ready to pounce on her, but luckily the people who really mattered stepped up for me.
“Don’t you DARE talk about my sister like that, you TRAMP!”
“Jasmine!” The joy and tears were clearly audible as I cried her name, I had missed my sister so much!
“I’m so glad you’re safe! I was soo worried about you, Kris told me last night what Diana did to you, I can’t believe I thought of her as a friend. I’m so sorry, I love you just like a sister Rachel, you are my sister, you hear that tramp? That’s called love!”
“Oh Jasmine!” I couldn’t say anything else, I was so filled with tears!
“How could you speak to us like that? We’re your children! All 3 of us! Me and Kris have been ashamed to call you are mother for a long time! Trying to get us to marry as soon as possible, so you don’t have to work and have money, we’ll not anymore!”
“How dare you speak to me like that young lady? What are you going to do?”
“We’re moving out! We found someone old enough who would take us in, so we are leaving! Goodbye Mother!”
“Guys, are you sure about this? Where are we going to live? Who were you talking about?”
“Oh, you forgot me? That’s not nice! I knew that voice, the voice of someone who had always been calm and understanding since walked in to my life….. “Avian!” I cried!
“You’re moving in with us?”
“Yeah, I’m 20 and tired of my mother ruling my life, and when me and Jasmine went out to try and find you, I suggested the idea, between the 4 of us we have enough!”
“You’re really leaving your parents?!
“You know what my mother is like, my father is upset, but he understands, so you want me to live with you?”
I gave him one of my sarcastic smiles…. “Well you are my fiancé.” We both laughed as the cab drew up so we could all begin our new life.
“Shall we go?” I noticed as he walked past Jasmine he gave her a little wink, which she responded to by laughing… Could there be something between them?
A few weeks down the line and everything was going fine! School is good to, only it’s a bit awkward, no one talks to Diana anymore, and no one goes near Darren, but they deserve it, but not only that Taylor left…. He didn’t even say goodbye to me, he just left town, or at least doesn’t leave his home, and I have been there…. Oliver is being nice about it, but I can tell he’s getting annoyed, he doesn’t hate Taylor anymore, he did help him out, but I keep wondering about him and Oliver is worried about me.
Megan and Kris are officially an item and she is round her pretty much all the time, she’s moving in with us soon though.
Kris’s POV
I had never felt happier then I had been since my new life had begun. I didn’t have to worry what people thought of me, and more importantly I was with Megan. My mother tried to get is to some back, said she was drunk that night, all lies. I wanted to really take it forward with Meg, I wanted her to move in with us, I knew she hated her old life, but Meg was a good girl, I knew she wouldn’t move in with me while we were both 17, but then again we were in love….
Life was also so good with Megan around, it was a quiet Saturday morning when I decided to finally ask her the question…
“Megan, can I ask you something?”
She looked right into my eyes, for a moment I thought I saw fear but she said “Yes.”
Before I told her what I wanted to say, I pulled her closer to me for a nice gentle kiss, I knew she liked it when we did this, and I liked her being close. I wanted her to feel through my kiss, she didn’t need to be afraid.
“Megan Cole, I hope you don’t get the wrong idea, and I hope you don’t think I’m to forward…. But will you move in with us? I know how your mother and sister treat you at home and you don’t deserve it…”
“Yes, yes I will move in with you Kris!” My heart was ready to jump right through my chest, I was so happy!
Rachel’s POV
I was so happy for the two of them… then my phone rang.
“Hey Rach.” It felt like the world stopped…. My heart felt like it HAD stopped when I heard his voice. “Taylor?” I hadn’t heard his voice in weeks, I’d missed it.
“Yeah it’s me… can we meet up? At the beach where you and Kris talked…. At about 7?”
My mouth was dry… why hadn’t he called me? But I said yes and put the phone down.
The sun had almost set by the time I got there…. It was him! He had come back, I was still relay nervous why he wanted to see me, but I didn’t care!
I pulled him close to me, just like I had done to Oliver more and more over the past few weeks, it felt good to be close to him, like we were meant to be together…. “I missed you.” I was so shocked when he said that to me, “I missed you to.” I responded.
I looked in to his eyes, I had missed his eyes, so blue and full of life…. The sadness I had seen in them lately had gone, he looked grown up and excited about something, “what’s wrong?” I asked.
He took my hands in his…. “I’ve got a surprise for you… and I think you’re going to like it!” Oh my goodness! Is this why he had been gone for a few weeks? “But first, I can’t deny my feelings for you anymore…. Rachel when I came here I promised I wouldn’t fall in love… but I have fallen…. Fallen so much in love…. With you.”
Suddenly he leaned in….. and then I leaned in…. just like we had done that night watching TV… only this time there was nothing to distract us….. we kissed!
It was really awkward after… He loved me! I couldn’t believe someone like him could love me! I didn’t know what to say! I loved him, I had known it deep down for a long time now…. But how could I tell him I was also in love with someone else? “Rach?” He asked as I walked over to him…
“I really care about you…. and I know how important life is to you…. as well as your music. I don’t know where you get it from, but your talented, really talented.”
“Taylor! That is so sweet, thank you….. I care about you a lot too!” I couldn’t tell him I loved him, it seemed to formal.
“I know I shouldn’t…. but I taped you playing your guitar one night.” OMG He had been watching me one night? “I know I shouldn’t have…. But I sent it to some people… and you’ve been entered in a completion next week!”
OMG! Was this really happening? Taylor loved me AND I could possibly make a name for myself in the music world all in one night? Is this to good to be true!
And this is it for now, things get very explosive in the next one, so stay tuned, please leave me a message over at http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/193631.page to leave me messages!
