Fears by Kaitlyn Garlets (free ebook novel txt) 📖

/> She nodded and turned to look at Kyle and Zeth. Then like a wave of water coming to crash against you, her emotions rushed over her and she fell to the ground and cried.
"What have I been doing?" She asked, shaking her head. Zeth sat down next to her.
"Its okay, Mia. No one blames you," Zeth said into her hair.
Mia stopped crying and looked up. In front of her she saw Lucas, standing in front of her, for once smiling and actually looking happy.
"Lucas!" Mia stood and ran to him and hugged him with all her might.
"Mia," Lucas said. "I came to say goodbye."
Mia stopped hugging him and looked into his eyes. They somehow looked different. "Why? I don't want you to leave!" Tears rolled down her face again.
Lucas smiled, but his smile only showed sadness. "I know you don't, but I am more happier. You have a good life ahead of you and Zeth is a good man. You should be happy now that I am gone. I should never have asked for your help and I should have burned the house down when I had the chance to, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't think that He will bother you anymore. But I know some other people will, though. I could not stop them from being there."
"You mean like ghosts?" Mia asked.
Lucas nodded. "Yes, for one, the little girl that was there. She likes you and promises not to do anything to hurt or scare you."
Mia laughed through her wet eyes. "I don't think that I will ever go back to that house. Not since He had killed my dad," Mia said quietly.
Lucas nodded. "I hope you live to your fullest!" He smiled again and then disappeared from Mia's sight.
Mia stood there for a long time before she walked back over to Zeth. Lucas was right. She needed to live her life to the fullest instead of carrying this horrible memory. So she smiled to Zeth and Kyle and hugged them both and let them memories of the past month slid into her mind, hidden well in the back of her mind.


A month later


Mia knocked on the door of Zeth's place, even though she knew she didn't have to and Zeth opened the door.
She had been crying and needed to have his company.
Zeth led her into the one-room house and she sat on his bed. He followed her and they laid together on the bed, staring at each other, probably thinking the same thing.
"I love you, Zeth," Mia whispered and kissed him on the lips. It was the first time that she had kissed Zeth, and it made her head spin.
He kissed her back and they didn't stop there.


Seventeen years later


Mia awoke to the sound of her first born kid named Lucas standing in front of her, looking to the door.
She sat up and shook Zeth awake, who rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong, baby?" Mia asked, bringing Lucas into her arms.
"There is a man standing outside the house, mama!" he said, shaking in her arms.
Mia yanked the covers off and sat Lucas on her bed and kissed him on the forehead and pulled her robe over her body.
"I'll go with you," Zeth said, getting out of bed.
Mia nodded and walked down the hallway towards the door. Her youngest daughter, Milana, stood by the door and looked back at her mother.
"Sweetie, step away from the door."
"There's a man outside who wants to talk to you and daddy, mama," Milana said, pointing to the door.
Zeth grabbed Milana and picked her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Mia opened the door and gasped. "Lucas?"
