Chapter
18
A year and a half later…
The huge iron doors opened slowly, squeaky. Justin
waited anxiously for them to open fully so he could finally leave this place
after a year and a half.
“Ju-tin!!” a voice exclaimed ahead and Justin
smiled to see Sam coming right at him. He stepped outside and was met with Sam
who launched himself into his arms and wrapped his little arms around Justin’s
neck. Justin was crouched down in front of the jail with the little boy pressed
in his arms. He held on tight and enjoyed the feeling of having this little boy
in his arms again. He stood up slowly, taking the little boy with him as he
settled him on his arm and walked towards the man he knew would be waiting for
him; Josh. He saw him from a distant; God he looked good. The loose jeans hung
nonchalant on his slender hips, the muscular shirt that showed you just how
thin he really was and Justin could see the amazing blue eyes twinkle from a
distant. He was gorgeous. How had he’d missed this beauty standing there waiting
just for him.
He smiled at Josh all the way and when they finally
met they fell into each other, hugging tightly with Sam pressed between them.
Their family reunited.
Justin thanked God he reunited him with the two
people he loved most. He shifted the little boy on his arm and kissed his
forehead with the breathed words, “I missed you” before he kissed the man he
loved.
He knew he’d made the right decision of turning
himself in. He’d never have to look over his shoulder again afraid to get
caught. He was free, really free from his past and all the mistakes he’d made.
He could finally shake his past, the painful reminder of it anyway. He could
really start living his new life with Josh by his side, forever.
And that made Justin realize just how lucky he’d
been.
Because what were the odds of him getting in Josh’s
car?
Maybe it was luck, maybe it was a coincidence or
maybe it was just fate, meant to be, to give Justin an opportunity to a loving
family and to finally be apart of one as he’d always dreamed off as a kid.
