How could Shepard do this to et it; Shepard wants to fix all this mess, he wants to keep our fa, that he wouldn’t be around for a while
God, I feel so fucking lost withoutin my bed unable to function, I have three kids to look after Haiden is here with me as well as Tate and Willow Haiden doesn’t say much, he stays in his room most of the time, but at least he has Tate to talk to
Willow sleeps in bed with h I put her to bed in her rooht I know it’s Willoithout even having to ask When I open the door, she rushes into irl crawls into bed with me, and I hold her close She knows she’s safe with ht so he can come home to us
I think that’s a lot of what’s wrong with Willow; she misses Shepard She askseach ti if he will be I just pray that he does come back to me, and I mean alive and not in a pine box
It’s not just irlfriends are here too All of us stuck in this huge safe house For our protection, so BlackJack told us, just until those who murdered Hillary and Titus are dealt with Most of theto check on their women and kids if they have them
Mine? Not once
Taylor and her baby boys are here withon most of the tiuy He’s always got a sh
This big old house on the hill, surrounded by electric fences, is like fort-knocks, no one can get in the grounds without the right key code for the ates that keep the world out The place is inable, we’re all safe here It puts my mind at ease to know my babies are safe
However, I’ my husband so much I don’t knohat to do with h, especially not my children I don’t want the where their father is, what he’s doing, whether he’s safe Theyme upset will only upset the
It’s what us women do Put on the mask to hide fro I can keep
The only bad thing about being stuck in a safe house, even one the size of a stately holand, is none of us woht in daily by one biker or another If we need anything for the kids, they’ll get it for us
The older kids are starting to get restless They don’t want to be stuck all the tirounds to wander around, it’s not the sao to school Ho theood, but they need a social life
The oldest kids here are CueBall’s daughter, Lorraine; she’s seventeen His son Calum, who’s sixteen, Haiden, who’s also sixteen, and Tate, who’s fifteen Then there’s my Willow, Dante, etc They should all be in school with their friends The younger kids aren’t so bothered; they have each other to play with I iine for the other’s this place kind of feels like a prison
Regardless, we all know that we're here for the foreseeable and nothing any of us say or do will change Apollo’shere At least I have s I do love her; she's fantastic Moreover, she’s been in this life longer than I've been alive, Myra kno it goes and what to do when needed
She told ative side of everything because the good tih the bad This situation is temporary, soon it will be over, and we’ll be as safe as we’ve ever been
Myra also told me that if I love Vincent, really love hier, harden s No matter if yourvendor on the street corner, there is always bad just around the bend, always so and destroy what you have You can never change that, so why sit and wait for bad things to happen when you can enjoy the good things while they last?
When I sat and thought about it, I realized she was right Every single person alks this earth could one day step outside of their house and find that day to be their last No one knohat to Hell, you could walk out your door toet hit by a truck You wouldn’t’ve seen that co, so why in the hell live in fear of what if?
