Lorraine's POV
"....so he's been gone for 2 weeks....no calls no texts no nothing", granma Nara said swallowing her ibuprofen
I just smiled and opened another full packet of meds...trying to keep on my calm demeanor
"I know it's just a dream of 84 year old lady but I'd honestly love it to see my great grandkids before I die... ", she said after gulping down lukewarm water from her mug
"You've been waiting for him for 5 years yet he barely acknowledges you...he didn't even bat an eye when he heard you were in the hospital....I had to force him to go...where did I go wrong with him", she whispered the last part to herself rubbing her thumbs on her temples
"But you don't worry too much he'll come around....you used to be inseparable when you were kids , you followed each other around", she let out a chuckle " I remember I even followed you to his room worried you'd have sex",
I shook my head and just smiled....I would've have been shocked had she not repeated that every night for the past 5 years
*sigh*
"I now see I should have left you alone...I should have let him bed you", I giggled reminiscing our childhood
"And Tyler would run behind you looking like a lovesick puppy....and I think he still does love you", she said gulping down her last meds with her blue eyes radiant appeal
My smile vanished as I recalled our last interaction....
Love...I don't think that word is in their vocabulary
"So....how soon do you think you can make an heir for the Negans", she elicitedly asked with anticipation radiating from her voice...almost jumping up and down on her bed
"I nearly shit myself trying to suck in a laugh...you know granma...one might actually think you fought for us...one might think you're the good old mother Teressa ", Tyler said leaning his body towards granma Nara's room
Her exhilarated face fell swiflty unmasking a very familiar barren face with a hint of pain here and there but not very much
I looked away from Tyler and looked down at my feet , hoping it would render me invisible...away from Tyler Negan
"It was about 14...15 years back...no , when that bitch Letty introduced chaos to our lives...no our lives were already an active volcano her drama just bruised the facade shit over ", he said casually remarked coming closer to granma Nara's bed
He sat on a couch directly propertional to granma Nara and crossed his long legs
"It's all in the past Tyler...and I apologized already , to all of you , didn't I", she said with her eyes looking directly into Tyler's matching the same dark energy he was harkening
"Tyler why do you bring up that conversation every time you open your mouth....even Ryle seems to have let it go ", granma Nara's son , Johnathan Negan spoke up entering the room
On his side Allson...stood in her grey silky bed gown...the kind princess Diana would have worn
She stood there with a quiet grim expression on her face yet she still looked like she was a direct descendant of the royals...picture this....a young Celine Dion with her body and aura....thats Allyson Negan
"What on this ever loving shit makes you think Ryle has let it go....just because he's quiet doesn't mean he let everything go...just because he ignores us definately does not mean he forgave us....you remember the bloodbath of his comeback...you think it was all just a comic comeback....fuck it wasn't even a threat...", Tyler snorted and looked away from his father
He tilted his head and looked directly at me...I prayed he'd just leave...or literally do anything but talk to me but as luck would have it...he spoke to me
"You Lorraine Lauren are just as guilty as the rest of us....you kept quiet through the whole ordeal....you even disappeared from the face of the earth...didn't care about what would happen to us", he shot angrily pointing at me...as if hoping he would physically poke me
"You've been quiet about this for years Tyler...now that Ryle is back you play the victim ",granma Nara said with her face growing tense with each word she spat
"Ryle was sent away for 15 years , Tyler...he was cut off the family name , thrown away and disowned by the entire Negan family members while you had it all...the only punishment you ever received was transfer to a boarding school", granma Nara firmly stated
"Mom please...we talked about this , don't play along with Tyler", Johnathan said with his voice barely above a whisper
He ran his hand across his bald head and deeply sighed
"As for Lorraine....", he paused " the situation was...was altogether disastrous ",
"She kept her mouth shut when we...her friends were accused of rape , dad ", Tyler screamed
There it is...the hard truth I've running away from for so long
"We were with her that night...she was our witness yet when that dumb bitch Letty said Ryle fucked her and I threatned her to keep shut this bitch Lorraine disappeared ", he screamed yet again with cracks in his voice
"God knows how Ryle survived for 15 long years alone....and he was 13 years for fuck's sake when you rich Gods disowned him...13", he paused and ran his hand through his thick brown hair " you know I don't even know why he agreed to marry you and play along with this shit royal facade...I would've just burnt the lot of you to ashes and flash them down the drain", he concluded catching his breath and walked out of the room as if nothing happened
The room was heavy...the atmosphere thick above us and no one said a word... Allyson stood there besides her husband with her hands across her chest and a grim expression on her face
Granma Nara although kept her face straight tightened her fists on the blankets
Tyler said he would've burnt the house down had he been in Ryle's shoes...but Tyler is the sane younger brother...the most sympathetic one...if he thinks of the situation like that I wonder how Ryle feels...what he's planning
