The Longed One

151-Know Them

For the rest of the summer,everything was pretty much the same.Until a few weeks before Liam's birth/death day.

We headed to Florance,Italy for mom's gallery.I got to spend weeks with my family and my family only.But missing Blaise definitely hurt.Mentally and physically.

We headed to the neutral realm for Liam's grave.Just me,mom,Lee and Lou.We came over to his grave and I saw an extremely tall redhead.My redhead.

I ran over and he must've sensed me.He picked me up as I hugged his neck tightly."I missed you,Red.""I missed you too,baby.More than you can imagine."

He put me down.His arms still around my waist.My hands placed on his.A huge,bright smile across my face,I looked at my brothers and mom.

Mom giggled."You guys look more adorable than I thought when you guys are togather."Lee rolled his eyes."I still don't like you.You broke her heart once.There is no guarantee you won't do it again."

"Lee!"He rolled his eyes at me.Lou came over."Why is he this tall?"I looked up at him then turned to Lou.I leaned down a bit to look at him in the eye.

"Sometimes,people have tall parents,Chubs.Well,Blaise has tall parents.So he's tall.But he is this tall because he works out.He trains and does things to get taller."

He nodded."I guess that makes sense."I picked him up and got him over my shoulder.I was already wearing heels."Chubs,won't you interduce yourself and ask his name?"

"I'm Lou.What's your name?"Blaise looked down at me before answering."I'm Blaise."What Lou said next did not cross my mind."What are your intentions with my sister?And do I need to like you or strangle you?"

I got him off my shoulders and put him on the ground."LOU!"Blaise bursted out laughing."What he asked is not something you can encourage,Blaise!"

"I never said it was!But I can see how you guys are siblings."

Mom came over him and we all just backed away."You look like your father."Mom sighed."Nice to finally,properly,meet you."They shook hands.Then mom snapped."Oh my dragons,kiss already.I'm done with this whole staring thing."

But Blaise just kept hugging me from behind.We both backed away a little as mom started talking to Liam.

"Why didn't you tell me you'd be coming?""I didn't think you'd be here.And I figured,your mom and I wouldn't be here at the same time.I didn't think you and your entire sibling squad would be here."

"You remembered his birthday?"He nodded."I never forgot.I need to forget to remember."I sighed."How does it feel to be here?Last time we were here togather,we weren't really...on best terms."

"I-I-I know that.But...I don't really feel anything,unlike you."I sighed."I guess."Mom and my brothers slowly left the cemetary.Me and Blaise went over.

I started cleaning up his grave and tombstone.I took some new flower seeds from my bag and started planting them."What are those?"

"Daisy flower seeds.I didn't think you'd be here but I also have some roses."I handed the seeds over."But I think you should put them in since you're here."

After we placed the seeds,I poured water all over the soil.I started working on the seeds and I stopped once I saw the little green sprouts.

"Why did you stop?""I can make them grow but...I want them to grow in their natural ways.I just gave it a head start.That's it."My gaze shifted to his tomb stone.

"What do you think would happen if he did live?Would Vulcan and my mom get married?Would I exist?Would you exist?Would my brothers exist?How would it be if these things happened when James was the way he is today,back then?"

"Those are some questions none of us will ever be able to answer."We both sat down beside his grave.I never got to meet him and it seems so fucking unfair.

I sniffed and his arms around me tightened."Vulcan and Angelina.Crying over your dead son?"Our heads snapped back at the male voice.

"What are you saying?!For the love of dragons,Jack!"He rolled his eyes."Josie,they're never going to be able to be togather!Not when our older brother is alive."

I stood up."Great aunt Josephine and great uncle Jack?"They looked at each other before looking back at me.

"Wait,you're not Angelina.You're...Oh my-"Aunt Josephine hugged me tight."You're Lotus."I hugged her back and she stepped away.

"Then you must be Blaise.That is if Vulcan kept his promise to his dad."Blaise nodded."My name is Blaise but I don't know about this promise you're talking about."

"Kids,I didn't know.I didn't mean to offend-"I hugged uncle Jack and cut him off.I didn't know why but I felt like I missed them.Like I haven't seen them in centuries.

When I don't even know them.
