Chapter 19: Day 6.

“ Caro!!!.... it's Williams, he's on the phone!”, “ Listen Ember, I have no time to spare, they're probably waiting for this call, they're possibly tracking this call right now.... Here's what I want you guys to know, don't come looking for me, I will find you guys my....”, the phone was snatched from me by Caro as she immediately placed it in her ear, but the loudspeaker was on and I can still hear what he's saying.
“ Hello! Hello Honey!, Are you there?!...”, Caro was pressing her greetings to know whether it was really Williams on the line calling. (“ I'm sorry baby, but I have to disconnect this call immediately, just one thing I want you to know baby..... I'm innocent to whatever I'm charged with ”), he disconnected the call.
“ Hello!... Hello!.... Honey are you there?....”, “ the call has been disconnected Caro, he's no longer there ”, I said to her, but she never listened to me, she continued saying hello, hello, I just stood there behind her, looking at her with sympathy, wondering how she might be feeling right now, because this feeling, I don't know.
She later gave up, she sat down on a chair at the corner as fresh tears began running down, she's in a lot of emotional pain and I can't do anything to protect her from her thoughts right now, by the way Williams sounds, it feels like he believes he can handle this matter, but for Caro who doesn't actually know how Williams might be prepared for this and also carrying their baby whom was about to be given birth to in some days or any moment around the corner, I pity her, I really do.
I never liked myself and I never liked anyone, I am just blank, an empty shit who gives back what she's been given to, except love, I have been involved in many wrongful things during my days back there, I was a bully to some and some were bullies to me, just that I don't react to their tone, I fight back, I challenge my bullies, I made them fear me too to the point they can only get to me with words, they said sh*ts behind my back and I fight them for it, less concerned about whatever the outcome would be, but now, now I've found sympathy where it doesn't belong, I have found happiness where it's extinct, I have found peace around my new loved ones, but right now, some people, some powerful people are here to take that happiness from me, the happiness that took since forever to find.
“ It will all get better Caro, I believe it will ”, I tried talking to her, but she just waved her head, “ We've to go look for him, we've to go now, we've to go find him...”, she tried to stand up but I ran to stand before her, “ No Caro, anything we do now puts Williams in danger, we never knew what happened and won't jump to conclusions when we're still oblivious to it, we should give Williams sometime, we should allow him to......”, “ what are you talking about Ember, this is my husband that I am looking for here!”, she intercepted.
“ I know Caro, I won't say I know how you're feeling because I don't, all I know is that you're in pain, but Williams just told me that we shouldn't come to look for him, that he will find us. If we don't listen to his instructions, what do you think will happen?, Don't you think that looking for him will be a danger to him and also to us, this sounds like bad peoples that he and Mr Karl was talking about, what if they happen to use us against him, use us to locate him, we should be distance and allow him handle this with no weaknesses, we're going to be weakness to him Caro, please try to understand.....”. 
She wasn't talking, she just shut her mouth and was looking at the floor, probably realizing that I was talking some sense here. I don't know what to do, I am not used to this, all I have ever known was trouble and hatred, love is still something new to me, but having seen many incidents where people who were feeling down was been hugged, I hugged Caro by her head, placing her head to my belly and gently touching her hair to calm her down.
We didn't do anything else today, the restaurant was closed down throughout the day because of this internal reason, I guess we're supposed to sleep here then because the van is not here, we came back with a cab, knowing that none of us can drive, we even got to pay for the cab with Ryan's help.
“ We're going to Auntie Margaret's house Ember, we're going to stay there for the night, she's the only one close to us in this City and she's my husband's brother....”. I heard exactly what she said, but somehow, that decision sounds quite scary, there's no difference living with her back then and coming to live with her tonight too, seems like I can never run away from my fate being around her, both now and on the future, maybe all this is actually happening for me to realize the kind of person she was before how things turned out in the future.
I still don't know the actual reason for what got me here, all I know was that I came from the future and ended up here in the past, the newspaper gave me the best clue to that, now my quest is to find the reason why I am here at the first place and if going to live with Auntie Margaret again under the same roof is the reason for this fate, then I have to go find out.
