Three Thousand Miles To You(91)

Alanna baby, I have to go right now but I will see you soon, Okay?

Okay, I love you Adrian!

As I put my phone back into my pocket, I look over to Michael who looks even sadder than he did before. I hate to see him like this and I want everything to go back to the way it was before. I wish he could see that there is a place in my life for him and that I need him before I am complete. I know that it is selfish of me to want the both of them in my life, but that is just how I feel. The love I have for Adrian consumes me and it is not gravity holding me to the planet but it is he. However, the way I feel about Michael alarms me, I know that a part of me would be missing if I did not have him. I really hope that he and Adrian can work things out. I could never survive with the thought of ripping two brothers apart.

“Is everything okay, Alanna?” I am surprised to hear Michael say.

“I was just taking to Adrian. I found out today that he has a half-sister.” Michael looks as shocked as everyone else did.

“How did that happen?”

“You know Maggie our chef?”

“Yes,”

“She had a baby to Edward, Adrian’s father but he did the same to them as he did to Alice and Adrian.”

“This is hard to take in.”

“Tell me about it, Maggie was with us all that time and we never knew a thing.”

“Are you sure?” Michael says with a puzzled look on his face.

“Yes I am positive, Adrian has a sister and her name is Emma Black.”

“He will be happy about this, he has always wanted a family and now he has a real sister.”

“I know it’s amazing, I am so happy for him.”

“I am too, Adrian is,and will always be, my brother despite everything with you.”

“Michael please don’t fight with Adrian over me anymore, it’s not worth it.”

“You are worth it, Alanna.”

“No I am not, I am just some girl and you don’t argue with family over girlfriends.”

“But, I love you.”

“I know you do, but please say you will at least try to mend things with Adrian?”

“I can’t promise you that.”

I turn my head away from him. I do not want to look into sad eyes any longer, I feel too guilty for how I make him feel. We sit in silence for a while, but I notice the driver of the car look over to Michael. It looks as if he wants to say something, so Michael gets closer and the driver turns to him and he says something into his ear. Michael quickly looks out the back window of the car and makes a dashing look towards Jackson. I know that something is not quite right, so I decide instead of asking Michael what is wrong, I will look for myself. I turn fully around and I tilt my head to the side. Therefore, I can fully see out the back window. At first, I cannot see anything alarming, but then I see what does have them flustered, a black Lamborghini.

“The Marshalls,” I say aloud and Michael shoots me a glance.

“Put your foot down, lose them,” Michael instructs the driver and that is exactly what he does. As the car speeds forward, I fall back in my seat a little from the acceleration. I hear the loud roar of the Lamborghini behind us. The driver looks worried and says,

“There want to chase us, look how close they are.” Michael turns round and has such a worried look on his face.

“Lose them,”

“Sir they have a Lamborghini that won’t be easy.”

“Just do it.”

Michael shouts and the car speeds on even faster. I do not know what to do I just sit frozen, this is really happening. I never thought of it being as serious as this, even with the bullet I thought that it was all just bluff, but now there is no doubting it, this is real! The black Escalade swerves and dodges round bends and through red lights. The speed is over whelming and I can barely stay in my seat. Despite all the drivers efforts the Lamborghini is still right behind us, chasing us down and not giving us a chance. The car speeds off again and this time not as fast as the driver had hoped. The black Lamborghini is now alongside us and I can see who is driving, it is no one that I recognize, but someone who wants to kill me. I feel a shudder and I see that the black sports car is now bumping into the side of us. With the speed, we are going the sudden bumps and hits are making the car lose its grip on the road. I see that Michael is scared out of his skin.

“Go on faster, lose them, and stay on the road.” He shouts Jackson is still sitting motionless, with a troubled look on his face. As for me I cannot speak, I am frozen in one spot and I am terrified for my life and for Michaels. I think of how Adrian will feel when he hears about this. The guilt that he will have does not even bear to think about. The car is hit again with more force and the driver starts to lose control. This time he cannot stop it, the hit was too hard. The car is spinning round and round and is sliding off the road and onto the sidewalk. The car does not slow down and instead is hitting everything in its path. Michael reaches over and catches my hand. He looks at me and says,
