The Heiress' Returns

Welcome, My name is Tyra James and I'm twenty four years old . I currently live in a little off the beat town in Florida . the population of this town is literally less 800 and it has been my hiding place and sanctuary from everything until today. Why until today you might as while that's because my family and my past have now manage to find me and figure out where I live and where I work land even where I hang out in my off time and who I hang with. to be completely honest it is annoying and completely aggrivating but I think deep down I knew I wouldn't be able to run forever.

I wish I could but of that is something that definitely Won't happen for me.

So, you might be wondering why I say I have been running and hiding and why I'm annoyed that my family found me . Well, here's the thing I'm gonna go ahead and give some back ground and you can decide how you would feel if you were in my shoe's. My entire life and I mean my ENTIRE life my parents have been divorced. They were completely done with each other and moving on three weeks after they got married which was right before my mom found out she was pregnant with me. Now, I'm telling you this to help you understand my delimma later on. Anyway, spent most of my life traveling back and forth between my parents. Half the year with one and the other Half the year with the other and Holidays we kind of just combined both. Now, in normal circumstances this wouldn't be to big of an issue with most people . But, here is where mine differs. Mom ( lynn) is a normal lived from paycheck to paycheck, youngest child out of four, only girl out four, single family home with big yard , white picket fence , cats and dogs family. My dad (TJ) is SSOOO NOT any of that . He grew up in South Florida being groomed to take over the family business which is a Club. Don't get me wrong . They dont do the whole drug trafficing, illegal stuff, or guns trafficing. But they do help out with situations with clubs that do that kind of stuff to stop them or get people out, or they help with abuse and domestic abuse and that kind of thing and they run a lot of businesses from mechanic and welding shops to car dealer ships and lawyer offices and bars and bowling alleys and a bunch of different things in between. Now, my point is he was groomed his whole life to take over all of this . Mainly because he was the oldest. Well, Unfortunately for me I'm his only biologically child and I'm girl. Which means I was trained in all forms of martial arts and weapons from a gun to even a sword . But I love my daggers the best. Umm... anyway not the point . My mom wasn't happy about me being trained but decided it was necessary because even though the club runs legally and tries to stay out of trouble . It still attracts trouble and enemies because of what they do focus on. My mom kind of wanted to raise me like she did he other child my brother Shane whos is younger by three years and he is completely niave, sheltered and oblivious and TJ decided that was not the life for me . Being like that could cause me more harm then good. So, you see my mom would pull the kids need to be protected and let to grow on their cards . Where TJ pulled the whole they can be protected and grow but they need to be able to protect themselves when requires . Because the adults aren't always gonna be there to protect them . So, they need a little extra help from themselves cards. And my mom slowly decided that was a good idea after the first kidnapping attemp to south carolina happened to me at the lovely age of six.

Any how, about nine year ago I decided that I wasn't sure what I wanted except to figure out what I felt was best for me. I couldn't take the arguing and the pulling from both sides and the demands from both sides . So, I did what any normal teenager would do who felt like they were suffocating and reaching a breaking point . I ran and hide. Yes, Ladies and gentleman at the grown age of sixteen I took off. Now, how did I stay hidden this long you wonder while most of the training my dad gave me helped me do the hiding and most of the adapting and blending in with regular everyday people I learned from the time Ilived with my mom. So, you see they both equiped me with the tools I needed to survive and learn and to escape them without them even considering that might be a possibility. To bad that that has come to an end and now I have to decide to I run and Hide again even further away or make a decision that will completely throw everything I have built for myself right out the window . And, decide to throw myself back in to the fray and all the family drama that comes with it . Yay me !

The only good thing is that is happening right now is I get see my best friend Javier and my favorite adoptive brother Xaiver. mainly, because they are the ones who found me and came for me and now they are refusing to leave and forget that they found meor even seen me .Ugh, I love them the most but I kind of sort of hate them at the same time. I mean what's a girl to do. First, check out the current situation of what I might be walking back into for both home fronts and then reevaluate my current situation and here and see if running and hiding again is doable and then go from there I guess. Let's go find the boys I guess and see what they have to report. Hopefully , fingers crossed they will actually give me the truth, all of it and not just some , or they don't just try to kidnap me back instead

Well, here goes nothing as I think to myself. After slowly (intentionally) by the way back to the house that she was currently living in and the last place she had seen both Xaiver and Javier . This was not an reunion that she had planned and wanted . So, this was very unanticipated but it was one that she had no choice but to follow through with this reunion . If nothing else to find out why exactly they went through all the trouble to track her down after all these years and cornered her at her home .

Though it would be a lie if she said she wasn't curious to at least here what they wanted and why. Because as mush as she is cautious and a "little miss mind my own business I'm not interested in yours." She still had a "okay my curiosity is peaked I must know " side. which usually revolves around the phrase " curiosity kills the cat". So, if nothing else she will at least hear them out before she really deicded what decision she would make. Unless, they tried to force it and kidnap her which she didn't see happening because as good as the two of them were she was better and they knew it because neither one of them could ever beat her before. But, then again they might think that she has stopped training in the nine years that she was gone but little did they know that she had spent every day training just to stay sharp and prepared no matter the circumstances.

Xaivers POV:

Well, its been nine years since I have seen my older and only sister . After all this time here she was. I can't really believe it . I mean I was only fourteen when she ran away. I couldn't start helping to look for her until six years ago when I tuened seventeen. Javier my partner in crime recently though has been looking for her since the day she left. But, Javies is three months older then Tyra and they were best friends and thicker then and set of siblings I have seen . There were times when I was younger that I felt they were the real siblings and he was just the seperated best friend from the rest of the family in there eyes. But, when Tyra left I realized that was the case at all because when she ran she left me a four page letter explaining the reasons why she was running and what her feelings and everything she had been contending with. Which is made it easier for me to understand . But, also out of the actual family I was the only she even left any reasons as too why she did it. She did leave Javier a letter too but his wasn't as long . I guess he had already started figuring out the issues and she left him one basically to tell him he was right.

I however, did not tell any one that she left me and that I knew all the reason's and issues as to why she ran. The only piece of information that she didn't leave me was where she was going . But, honestly I don't think she even knew where she was going at the time other then staying in the area of home or our normal trip spots all over South Florida from the Keys , Port St Lousie , West Palm Beach, Dade city and Melbourne . But, I also firgured she wasn't gonna go anywhere near where her mom lived which was in Ocala, but she would also stay away from KIssimee , Clermont, Tampa, Leesburgh, Daytona and Orlando. I know this because the first half she goes to with her mom and that family and the other half because she has been to the other places enough with the club that anyone kcould recognize her there and giving her away in an instant because of who she was. Which is definitely not something she would chance . So, when I turned seventeen I decided that I would help take some of the burden off of Javier and his brother Gabriel who is also a friend of Tyra looking for her because dad was starting to get antsy about not finding her and getting more and more pressuring on them and the rest of the searchers in the crew on finding her. those all the extra searchers didn't know her except by sight. Even after all of the information they had received from those of us who do know her . They still didn't understand her and where to even start looking for her . But, now after all these years, all the searching finally paid off and here they were in the backwoods of Juniper Florida in this tiny little town with one dollar general, a circle K gas station, and four traffic lights in the entire town. That was as redneck as I have ever seen. Which I would never have guessed and according to Javier he never thought it either.

Javier looks at me and says "well, I guess this is as good a place to hide as any . I mean we never thought to look for her at any place like this much less any one else. But, if we think about it this is pretty smart on her part. I mean why not go to some place that no one would ever picture her being in. I mean we would have never even thought about checking any where near here if Chuck hadn't said he seen someone that matched her descrisption at rainbow river at a bar-b-que that he happened to be invited too because it was his neices birthday and they were celebrating. We just got lucky that she didn't recognizing him there and decided to take off before we got her". To which I nod and decide he is right we got damn lucky that that was the case. I'm just happy we got here in time before she realized that she might know chuck from some where and not from town.

Now, we are sitting here outside her house in the twenty sixteen ford F150 four door pick truck waiting for her to come back. With no doubt that she knows they are already there and that she is trying to decide if she wants to here them out or try and run again. I'm just hoping that she still has her curiosity tick that will make it so she will at least hear us out . Oh, look just as I got done thinking it she appears coming around the corner by her mailbox and she stops and looks at the truck like she still wants to run but decides to lift her head up and decides to walk towards us. We decide to climb out of the truck with our hands out and up so she knows that knows we didn't plan to do anything to her in any way. As soon as she seen this and us . Tyra broke into a run with a big smile on her face and threw herself in to my arms and squeezed me as tight as she could . She kept telling me she had missed me so much and she was so sorry but she had to do this . Then, she decided to back up and jump at Javier and grab his face with both hands and planted a big smacking pecking kiss on him and saying I knew you wouldn't give up on finding me until you did and that you would come for me eventually . And, then she jumped on him wrapped arms and legs around him whispering in his ear something that made him smile and chuckle and squeeze her tighter. Now, the old me would have been so jealous that even though she had launched at him first and showed him a huge amount of affection to him for her, But now it was like the two of them back into their own little world and there hasn't been years that they had been seperated and they were the only ones in it. But, it just felt like everything was back in the proper places and all was finally right for the first time in just about a decade. And, that made me feel settled for the first time in a long time and he couldn't help but smile and laugh out loud at the two of them. When they finally registered that he was there and laughing . They finally looked at him and said in unison "What?!! Why are you laughing and what did we miss?."

Xaiver POV:

I'm pretty sure that I laughed even harder when they both exploded in simultaneous unison with their questions. It amused him so much that even after all this time they could still do something like that. I just looked at them and said It amazing me how fast the two of you fell into your own little world like it hasn't been almost ten years since you haven't seen each other, and it took less than two minutes. That is all it took for the two of to forget that I was even here. Which should say something because you have been on your own for almost ten years and I'm your real brother. And, you Javier I have spent at least fourteen hours a day with you for the better part of six years and still the instant you two come in contact I no longer exist much less any one else for that matter. Hell, the whole town could have been here watching and you two wouldn't have even noticed until someone pried you guys apart. The two of them just look at each other and laugh and then look at him and say sorry we didn't mean to leave you out.

Tyra POV:

Ok, I admit I missed Xaiver and Javier. I didn't really know how much until I seen them climb out of the truck with their hands up. I couldn't help but smile and run into their arms. It felt amazing being able to hug my brother that I had missed desperately especially at holidays. But, when it came to Javier it was like I finally got to feel a little piece of home. And, I finally got to go back to my happy place for the first time since I left back then. Javier was my soulmate in so many parts of life and soul and was the one person she probably couldn't live without and she barely made it all this time but that was only because she spied on him from time to time. Ok, enough of the happy reunion and the happy feels.

Ok, so tell me one how you found me? Why were you still looking? And what is going on that you couldn't leave me be and forget you seen me? But I guess we should go inside . Do you want a drink? I have water and Tea. No beer so don't bother asking. So, come on as I grabbed each one of their hands and dragged them to my house. I walked them through the front door and into the living room and made them sit down after double checking on what they want for drinks and of course they both choose tea. I go to my cabinet and grabbed a couple plastic cups and walked over to the fridge and pulled out the fresh made pitcher of sweet tea and poured some in each cup. She put the big one-gallon pitcher of sweet tea back in the fridge, then she grabbed the glasses and walked back into the living room. She handed them each a glass and sat down on the loveseat across from the couch that they were sitting on on the other side of her oak stand coffee table. She had decided that she had better be facing them at the same time instead of between them. They obviously knew that she was gonna sit there because neither of them made a fuss. So, let's get this started boy's. How did you find me? Xaiver decided to be the one to answer that question. Xaiver say's " well, you went to a friend's bar-b-que at the springs. Well, the little girl's party you were at was Chuck's niece and he got invited to go and he had free time and decided to go. While he was there and chilling out with his family, he recognized you there hanging out with his sister. So, he decided to wait until he got back to his hotel and double checked his picture that had been sent out to the crew when they were out to keep a look out for you. When he finally did check everything. He called me and said he wasn't sure who to call and inform that he seen you. I asked him where he was and where he had seen you and he told me. After that I immediately called Javy and told him. We left less than two hours later and here we are."

Javier proceeds to say" you said it yourself you knew I was going to look for and not stop until I did and you had to have known that Xaiver was gonna look for you he just had to wait a couple of years before he could help. Mainly, because after you split TJ kind of became a little manic. Xaiver couldn't even go to school and back from without a four person guard. He couldn't even have friends over without them being screened, scanned and patted down, plus, two of the guards had to stay in the same room with them the hole time. Hell, he even went as far as having a guard sleeping on a cot in the corner of Xaiver's room every night for almost the first two years. TJ even went and did the same thing to Angelo, Alex, James, and Sean. Because god forbid if his legitimate only child could escape and disappear under his nose all his adoptive children that he raised with her might get the same idea and he couldn't handle it. The only difference between Xaiver and them is that he finally managed to get rid of the guards but all your other brothers still till this day even in their late teens and early twenties still have all their guards. which is part of why we are here."

Now, this point I already feel like my head is gonna explode just from what little bit of information I have just received. The worst part is now I feel incredibly guilty and shameful. If nothing else because of one decision that I made for me without thinking how either one of her parents would react towards her decision and possibly take it out on her siblings. I mean really, I should have known that TJ would have a bit of issue, but I didn't think that he would go that far against her other siblings. But now she is wondering how Lynn reacted and prayed that it wasn't a similar type of reaction towards her other brother's Eric and Brandon. Lynn was known for mania depression and to have major episodes. Oh my God hope she didn't go too far. Xaiver, I asked how did Lynn handle things and how are Eric and Brandon? And I'm so sorry I never thought TJ would go so far and I'm so sorry I caused all that to happen to you. Can you forgive me for being selfish? Xaiver lifts his head and looks at me and I gasp.
