Chapter 25

Adele

I spent the day relaxing rather than running around and trying to get things done but I soon realized I haven’t seen Seth. It was odd and unusually quiet. I went to his room first but he wasn’t there. Odder. I left down the hall and Ruby was walking towards me. “Have you seen Seth today?”

She stopped to think for a moment. “No. Actually I haven’t seen Dirk either, have you?”

“No. I haven’t seen any of them.”

“What’s going on?” Jaylyn came around the corner and saw us standing together.

“Jaylyn, have you seen Seth or Dirk today?” I asked.

“No. I haven’t.”

“What about Bryce?” Ruby asked.

“No.”

We all paused and looked at each other. This was not good. Our instincts immediately brought us downstairs to the girl’s rooms but no one was there either.

“That’s strange.” Ruby said. “Where could they be?”

“Maybe their fathers have seen them.” I suggested. We entered the dining hall next where our husbands were sitting together as usual. “Hey, have any of you seen the boys?”

They sat still but looked at each other.

“Not recently.” Zayden answered.

His tone was much too obvious and Ruby jumped at it first. “What did you do?”

“We didn’t do anything.” Darius answered.

“If not, then you know something.” Jaylyn said. “Where are they?”

“Not here.” Zayden replied.

“Where?” I demanded. If they weren’t here, I needed to know where.

“They left.” Troy said.

“Left where?” Jaylyn asked.

“Not sure really.” Darius said.

“You don’t even know where they are?!” Ruby rightfully bursts out.

“We know who they’re with.” Zayden said. “That should be enough.”

“Who?” I asked.

“Who do you think?”

It took my half a second but I was only getting angrier. “You let them leave on a mission with the girls?! Are you insane?!”

“Love, seriously. You know that this was supposed to happen.”

“Not this soon! They’re not ready for that kind of distraction.”

“I hope you’re talking about the girls because our sons have proven to be more than ready.”

“I can’t believe this!” Ruby cut in. “You let our son leave and you don’t even know where he’s going?”

“It was his choice. I don’t even think he knew where he was going. Just as long as Lana was there he was happy.”

“That’s not a reason for letting him just leave.”

“It’s not up to us anymore. They’re men now. They need to start growing up and make their own choices and this was one of them.”

“He’s right.” Troy added. “There’s nothing we could have done to stop it if we tried. We’ve accepted it and you need to too. You can’t keep hanging on to them like this.”

“There’s nothing wrong with worrying.” Jaylyn said. “And I won’t lose another child because you let him leave.”

“That won’t happen. They knew they had to do this.” Zayden explained. “We did the same thing when we were young and knew they were right in making this choice.”

“I just wish you would have told us instead of making us go long enough without seeing them that we had to be worried.” I said while sighing. It was true but deep down, I knew we couldn’t do anything about this now.
