《Love Returns (Blake/You) ✔️》Chapter 25

Advertisement

It's been a month since I've been home. I've taken over my dad's business completely but my brothers still work in the shop with me. Somehow I've managed to pull my dads shop out of debt and it's slowly climbing back to the top.

I've even managed to find my own place. It's not the greatest house and it needs a lot of work. But I'm willing to put the time and money into it. I know it can be an amazing home once I'm finished with it.

"Hey guys I'm heading out early. I have the rehearsal dinner for Dylan's wedding." I tell my brothers who both nod their head in understanding.

"Go have some drunk wedding sex!" Garrett says causing me to shake my head at my brother.

"Don't forget to lock up." I tell the two who wave me off.

I leave the shop and climb into my car that I've had since I turned sixteen. I drive back to my place and head straight for the bathroom. I take a quick shower because I'm already running behind.

I pull on my briefs along with my dress pants. I pull my sports bra over my head along with my navy button up dress shirt. Once it's buttoned I tuck it inside my dress pants. I leave the first few buttons undone as it shows some of the skin on my chest. My gold chain necklace hangs around my neck and I move to make sure I smell good. My deodorant and cologne is applied and I fix my short curls. I style it just the way I like it with some hair cream and it makes my curls softer.

I slip on my dress shoes and place my watch on my wrist. I grab my keys, phone and wallet. I then make my way downstairs and out the front door. I climb back into my car and head towards the venue.

As I pull up I notice how fancy this whole thing is. I should have known it would be some big elegant thing considering how rich her family is.

I give the valet my car keys and I walk into the large white tent. My eyes scan all the people apart of the wedding party along with the workers as they set everything up.

"Y/N!" I hear my name being called and I spot Dylan standing by the wedding party table.

"This place is nice." I say to my best friend as he pulls me into a hug.

"Yeah, costs a fortune too." He says as he releases a deep sigh.

"You good Dyl?" I ask with concern and he looks at me and nods his head yes.

"I'm just really nervous."

"Everything's going to be great." I softly say as I rest my hand on his shoulder. I give it a comforting squeeze and our moment is interrupted by Jordana.

"Come on you guys, we have to practice for tomorrow." Dylan and myself leave the tent and make way towards the church. When we enter all eyes are on us. I groan to myself as I spot the guy I didn't want to see tonight.

"Why is he here?" I grit out to Dylan who shrugs his shoulders.

"I'm sure he won't be here long." He says as we walk down the aisle. I watch as Will continues to have his face shoved into his phone while Blake is clearly trying to have a conversation with him. But he keeps ignoring her and I clench my jaw at the sight.

I tear my eyes away from the couple and follow my best friend as we get closer to the minister. He instructs us all to take our positions so we can run through the whole thing. I follow Dylan and the guys into the nearby room and wait for the signal for us to exit.

We all exit the room in a single file line. Dylan leads us and I follow right behind him as his best man. Once we reach the altar we all turn to face the aisle.

After both sets of parents walk down the aisle we then wait for the bridesmaids to walk. Jordana, Aspen, Megan, and Blake all walk down the aisle. I won't lie and say I didn't feel some type of way as I watched Blake. But I tried not to make it obvious I was gazing at the beautiful blonde.

And of course Alexis made Blake her maid of honor. Which means the two of us have to walk down the aisle together. Talk about nerves.

The ring bearer and flower girl follow next. The two small children make me smile as I watch how carefree they are. Something stirs within my chest and I feel my heart break as I tear my gaze away from them.

I wonder how our little girl would act? Would Mya be carefree like Blake or would she be shy and reserved like myself.

Those thoughts go through my mind on a daily basis. I can't help but wonder what our life would be like right now.

Alexis walking down the aisle with her father pulls me out of my thoughts. And as my eyes follow her I catch Blake looking at me with worried ones.

I ignore her stare and continue to listen to the minister as he tells the couple to recite their vows. But once again my mind drifts away.

I zone out to the point where Dylan calls my name multiple times. I finally take notice of all eyes on me and concern shines within them. I quickly grab the rings from the ring bearer and hand them to Dylan before acting like nothing happened.

We make it through the rest of the rehearsal and I walk Blake back down the aisle on my arm.

But once we're through the doors I remove myself from her side and walk outside.

The fresh air fills my lungs as my eyes take in the starry night sky. I stuff my hands inside my dress pants as my eyes look at every single star.

"Y/N." Blake calls softly to me but I don't move. My eyes remain on the sky as I feel this dread fill my heart.

I feel her presence right next to me and the atmosphere quickly changes around us.

"Did you ever get to say goodbye to her?"

I hear the woman beside me sniffle and I finally turn to face her. Tears are in her eyes and she tries to hold them at bay as she shakes her head no.

"My dad said he took care of it all. But we do have her urn at my parents house."

I feel this pull in my gut and I clench my jaw as a few tears slip out of my eyes.

"Can we please talk?" She asks and I turn to look at her.

"I thought we already were." I say with a smart ass tone. I watch her bite her bottom lip and look at the ground before turning to walk away from me.

"Blake wait." I call to her softly as I sigh heavily. I run my hand through my hair before walking towards the blonde.

"I just don't know what more there is to say." I look at the ground before meeting her eyes that hold sadness within them.

She opens her mouth to speak when we're rudely interrupted by Will.

"Baby there you are. I've been looking for you everywhere." He says as he pushes me out of the way. I'm about to say something but I watch him cup her face and kiss her almost forcefully.

Talk about twisting the knife in my heart.

I hang my head and walk away from the two as I head back inside the church. On my way in I pass by Megan who scoffs in disgust at the sight of the two.

"Y/N, come with me." Megan says as she grabs my arm stopping me from entering. I look at the green eyed girl in confusion until she leads me towards her car.

The two of us get inside and we leave the church. I look at the woman and I'm completely confused until we pull up in front of a very familiar house.

"Why are we at Blake's sister Sarah's?" I ask the green eyed girl and I watch her take in a deep shaky breath.

She looks at me with tears in her eyes. I watch them fall down her cheeks as she reaches for my hands.

"I need you to promise me after what I'm about to tell you that you'll stay in this car and keep this between us. I have a plan, but if you react then it will ruin everything." She says and I'm still completely confused.

"Okay I promise." I say not even sure where this conversation is going to go.

I watch the woman beside me shake in fear and sadness which makes me reach for her hand.

"The day she was born, I overheard Paul talking with the doctor in the hallway."

I feel a pit form in my stomach just by her first sentence.

"I heard him yelling in a hushed tone at the man. Something about him owing him for not suing him years ago. Paul said he could still take action and ruin him."

I don't like where this is going. I don't like it one bit.

"I don't think Mya died." Megan says and I feel myself burst into tears. Megan reaches across the console and pulls me into a hug.

I'm not crazy. I'm not the only one who thinks she's still alive.

"I think Paul had something to do with it all." Megan says as I pull away. I wipe at my face and she wipes at her own.

"I know Blake was too hormonal and upset to even see the sketchiness about her father. So I watched him, I watched him until he caught me." Megan says as a few more tears leave her eyes.

"He threatened me. He threatened my future, he even threatened my life."

"He said no one would believe me anyways." She says through a chuckle.

"But I'll always have my best friends back. I'll always look out for her. And I continued to follow him around, I just did a better job at it."

I watch the woman collect herself as she looks up at Sarah's house. A smile forms on her lips before she looks at me.

"Blake didn't come home for the first two years of college. During that time Sarah and Adam had another child."

I feel my heart race in my chest, I can feel it on the verge of exploding.

"A little girl."

My eyes look at the house in front of me. Surely they wouldn't play along with Paul's plan.

"I don't think Sarah and Adam did this willingly. I think Paul has something over the two of them. And I honestly think Sarah took her in because she didn't want her sister's baby to land in the wrong person's hands."

"So.." I start and have to swallow the lump in my throat.

"Your saying my daughter is in this house right now."

"Yes." Megan says and I can't help but burst into tears again.

"Does Blake know?" I manage to ask as I try to calm myself down.

"No, every time I try to bring up Mya she shuts down." Megan says sadly and I can't help but have this feeling of hope stir within my chest.

"We have to tell her." I say and the green eyed girl nods her head.

"I'm not scared of Paul Lively anymore. I was eighteen years old back then and didn't have a clue. But I'm done, I'm not backing down against him this time."

"Will all of Blake's family be at the wedding?" I ask and Megan nods her head yes.

"The Bledels and Lively's are very close. So everyone should be there."

I feel my heart swell knowing that my daughter will be at this wedding tomorrow. I'll get to finally lay my eyes on her since the first day she was born.

"Then it's settled. We will expose Paul and show everyone who he truly is."

And I have something extra in store for him. I hope this motherfucker is ready to face me again, because like Megan said we're no longer eighteen years old. I'm a grown ass woman who is a lot bigger and I'm not scared of anything.

That includes Paul Lively.
