Chapter 369


    Chapter 0369


    “I know you are right, I’m just not sure how to go about it.”


    “I can’t tell you that. Only you can find it and you have to look deep within yourself.” Jacob let me go


    and took a few steps back.


    “I think I am going to go meet Cassie for brunch now.” I said after al


    moment.


    “Good. Enjoy some food and rx a little. It is going to be a nice day today.” Jacob walked me over to


    the door and opened it. Kris and Colt


    were no where to be found.


    “Thank you, Jacob.” I said before he closed the door.


    “Of course, Luna.” He said before he closed it and I started walking to the garden. Different people


    were walking around. Soome said hello and others were running like they werete for something.


    Hoping my face didn’t give away the fact that I just cried, I walked up to Cassie. She was sitting with


    her back turned towards me and drinking what smelled like lemonade.


    “Hello.” I said as I walked around her.


    “Penelope! I am so d you came.” Cassie smiled warmly at me.


    “Please, call me Penny.” I said as I took my own lemonade and too a


    sip.


    “Of course.” Cassie smiled at me as fruits got brought out with different sandwich options. A cold


    noodle pasta and yogurt finished it


    off.


    “Can I get anyone anything else?” The server was someone that got brought over from the other pack


    and I hadn’t learned her name yet.


    BONUS


    “I’m good, thank you. This looks delicious.” I said as I smiled at her.


    “I’m good as well, thank you.” Cassie said. The girl bowed and walked


    away.


    “Thank you foring. We haven’t had the chance to actually sit down and talk.”


    “Things have really been crazytely. Isn’t today your move in day?” I asked, suddenly remembering.


    “It is. I am nning on doing that after this. I was hoping we would have been able to talk more before I


    moved but I’m just thankful to be here.”


    “Of course. That was my intention but I will admit I have been


    struggling with it.” Grabbing some fruit, I put them on my te and


    took a sandwich. Cassie followed me.


    “Can you tell me what’s bothering you?” Cassie asked.


    “I don’t honestly know. My entire life I assumed you and Zac were dead. Of course I always dreamed of


    meeting you and knowing who you were but I knew that was just a fantasy. Now that you are


    actually here, I am finding myself feeling more angry. M entally, I know I had a way better life than if you


    would have kept me. My head knows that. My heart can’t wrap ept that never once did Zac try to


    reach out to me or you. I want to be selfish and say you could have paid a guard or something to send


    me something but I know that isn’t realistic either.”


    “If I could go back in time, I would have just taken you and ran with Zac. Honestly, I thought about it


    over and over again. Everyday Iid in that cell, my mind went to what ifs and eventually I had to


    forgive myself or I would have drove myself crazy. Seeing you… healthy and alive… I don’t regret


    giving you up. Especially when I lived almost twenty years in a cell. If we ran and we got caught, you


    would have


    begging for you to forgive me but I am forgiven myself. I’m not trying to be a mother figure to you but I


    would like the chance to get to


    know you.”
