Home is where the heart is

"I want a boy." Ryan said to Bella as she laughed then saw Bella look at her with a look as if she was crazy. Ryan laughed again as she heard someone walk over and it wasn't Levi or Brett. It was Nathan.


"I heard about yalls engagement. It doesn't bother you?" He said and Ryan stood in front of Bella.


"Does what bother me?"


"Stella. His tattoo. His scars you don't know about. How can you get married to him if you don't even know everything about him."


"It's called love, something you wouldn't understand."


"Well, I guess I wish Yall the very best but, your mom found out. Have fun explaining and convincing her."


With that he left and Ryan sighed. This wasn't good.

Bella sighed and took Ryan's hand. "Don't listen to him." She says with a smile. Bella was sure her brother would tell Ryan everything she needed to know in time. "He loves you." She says with a smile. Though she remembered the last time Rebecca was here what happened to her brother. He wasn't even allowed near her or he would go straight back to jail.

"I know." Ryan said and took Bella back to the house and decided she was going to her mom this time. She wasn't having her come here. Not when Levi was at risk of being in jail again. When Levi came home, she sighed and looked at him. Things were bothering her. "I'm going to the city because I've been informed my mom know about our engagement." She told him as she stood there.

This wasn't something Levi expected to here and honestly he cringed at the thought of her mom being left alone with her. However, he trusted Ryan and nodded. "Okay." Taking her into a hug he smiled. "Not something I wanted to hear on my birthday but I understand." He says with a sigh and kisses her again. "I'm sorry I can't come with." He says trying not to laugh. Despite what he said to her he didn't regret it her mother treated her like garbage. "I would send Brett with you but he can be just as bad as me so why don't you ask mom?" He really didn't want her to go by herself someplace he knew she wasn't wanted.

Ryan sighed and shook her head. "I know my mom. She won't want anyone from the country there other then me. I'll be okay love." She reassured him and then lifted his shirt and ran her hand over the tattoo. She held in the sigh she wanted to release. She knew he loved her it was just every time someone brought up Stella, it bothered her.

Levi watched her and he let out his own sigh before he moved her hand away and let his shirt fall again. "It's the last, I was young and stupid." He knew the tattoo bothered her and he felt awful about it. He made him sick to his stomach. "I'm sorry." He whispers knowing sorry wouldn't be enough.

 

[isax]

Ryan shook her head and smiled a weak and fake smile. "It's fine. You loved her. It's natural." She whispered and then went to finish packing. When she was done she let out a sigh and smiled another weak and fake smile. "I'll see you in a couple days. The tattoo doesn't bother me Levi. Like I said, she was your first love." With that, she took her things to her truck.

Levi followed after her and grabbed her hand. "Don't leave like that." He didn't want her to be upset before she went to visit hell. "Come here." He says pulling her back to the house. It was time to tell her what really happened. "I know you think you know what happened but you don't." With a sigh he continued. "Stella didn't die from falling from Jax Ryan. Thought that story is true and I still blame myself for it it's not what happened. The truth is, Stella and I, we hardly ever got along and we never did anything serious, she was more like a sister to me. One night we had gotten into an argument because she said she only would want me if I went back to the city and made a future with her there and I refused because my home is here, she left and no one has seen her since. She disappeared. I have no clue where she is but the story you have in your head is all wrong, everyone thinks we had the prefect life but we didn't Ryan I hated it and I never really had feelings for her like I do for you. I just have always felt guilty about it, I've always thought maybe if I didn't push her the wrong way she wouldn't have left and her parents would know where she is."

 

[isax]

Ryan sighed when she was told this and all she did was nod. It was a lot to take in and quite frankly, it didn't help her any. "I should go. I'll see you when I get back." She whispered and then went back out to the truck and got in. She believed him with everything he said but she didn't see why Levi felt so guilty. She would never understand. Ryan sighed and shook it off then went and drove off.


(I have an idea! What if Ryan meets Stella in the city and Stella goes back to the country with Ryan?)

(If you want ^~^)


Levi nodded and kissed her before she left. He know know matter the story it would be hard for her to accept but he wanted her to stop worrying about Stella. It was almost as if a girl she never met was ruining everything.

(Okay ~)


After three days, Ryan returned. She wasn't alone however and because of her mom, she was missing a diamond on her engagement ring. How would she explain this to Levi. The ride however was dead silent and it was because of who was with her. Stella. The two bumped into each other at the restaurant Ryan and her mom were. When she pulled up to her house, Ryan stayed in the car as Stella got out and when Levi walked out, Stella ran over to hug Levi. Her bags in her hands. Ryan sighed and decided to go cool off from all the events of being at the city so she left the two alone.


"It's been so long! I missed you so much you don't understand Levi. I'm sorry for everything I did in the past." Stella said, hugging Levi close.

Levi was shocked by what he was seeing but surprising he didn't add as anyone would expect him too. "That's all you can say? Sorry? You ran off Stella, it's too late for sorry and if you came here to try and pull something you can go right back to where you came from." With that he walked away simply disgusted by the fact she would show her face like that, like nothing happened. He wanted Ryan he missed her. Walking inside the house he called out to her and when he found her he looked at her. "Don't think this is going to change anything because it's not."

 

[isax]

"Really because she really does seem to miss you and love ya." Ryan said rather sternly. She was talking out of jealousy and hurt and her being hormonal didn't help any. "Just admit you miss her." She added and Stella walked in and heard it all. She sighed and looked at the two and when Levi asked why she was there, Ryan said, "I told her she could stay the night and then Id take her to her parents tomorrow. Thought you and her would like some catching up to do." Ryan then left to go to the stables and Stella looked at Levi and stayed quiet.


"I know I'm a reason her three days in the city were bad but she's really had it rough with her mom..." Stella said though she did want to talk to Levi about them and why she left.

At this point Levi was completely fed up with this whole thing. "I'm going to ask you one time and one time only to leave and not come back. Stella, you left and I don't care why why I do care about is that you've upset Ryan. And before you ask, no I'm not interested. I don't know what you're plans are here but in case you didn't know the girl you followed home is my fiancé and the mother of my child so no there is no way you have a chance." With that he ran after Ryan who he found in the barn. "She's leaving love." He whispers. This is not what he wanted. He hated seeing her upset. "I told her to leave." He didn't know what it would take for her to realize nothing was going to happen between the two.

Ryan sighed as she held the saddle in her arms when Levi came in, she looked up at him and here eyes were red and puffy. She put the saddle down and walked over to hug Levi close and cried in his chest. "I'm just so scared of losing you." She whispered. Their engagement ring, not on her finger. She didn't want Levi to find out about the missing diamond.

"Oh darlin' I hate to break it to you but even if you wanted to leave the two of us are stuck with each other for at least another 18 years." He says with a smile resting a hand on her stomach. "I love you." He says before kissing her softly.

 

[isax]

Ryan kissed him back softly and when she pulled away, she laughed and smiled softly. "I'm sorry I'm such a mess and currently all over the place." She whispered and wiped away her tears. Her three days in the city were just hell. She hated being there and now she never wanted to go back.

"You don't have to apologize just promise not to bring back strangers home again." He says with a laugh holding her close. "I have something to show you." Talking off his shirt he revealed the changes tattoo. It covered the old one completely. It was two horse shoes with their names carved in them and their anniversary date.

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed too and nodded, "I promise." She whispered then pulled away and looked at Levi confused. When he took off his shirt and he turned around, Ryan saw the new tattoo. She walked closer and put her hand on it and she traced it. "You didn't have to." Ryan whispered when in reality, she was ecstatic Stella's was gone.

"Yes I did." Turning back towards her he smiled taking her into a kiss. "I only want you." His hands rested on her arms. "Do you like it?" He asks turning back around for her to see it again..

 

[isax]

Ryan smiled at it and nodded. "I love it." She whispered as her hand traced it again. She was so happy she was the only one Levi wanted. "I love you." She whispered then smiled as she hugged him from behind.

When she hugged him from behind he rested his hands on her own it took a moment but then he made the realization she wasn't wearing her ring and remembered what Stella had said about her having a hard time in the city. He turned back towards her and let out a sigh. "What did she do?" She asks in a soft whisper referring to her mother.

 

[isax]

Ryan enjoyed their moment of silence while it lasted and when he asked about her mother, she blinked and shook her head. "Don't worry about it love. It's getting fixed. That's all that matters." She whispered and kissed him softly. She wasn't telling him about the missing diamond. She also didn't want to tell him everything that happened in the city.

He wanted her to tell him what happened but he didn't want to upset her again. He had many questions to ask her but held them off for now. All besides one. "Did she hurt you?"

 

[isax]

Ryan sighed and looked at him as she showed her bruised wrist. "I'm fine. She just has a deadly grip and I'm sensitive." She added and then smiled and sighed. "Love she threw the ring on the ground and one of the diamonds fell out."
