Freedom

Nyssa's POV:
I'm so shocked that Craig is Damien's dad. Damien never told me how he ended up at the place until now. He said he's the only one who ended up there the way he did. What Matt did was cruel, no one should be forced into that the way he was. Yeah I was forced into the brothel and there, but for Damien it was worse. Matt pretended to be his dad and that he loved him. All Matt ever saw him was a piece of meat and a future star. "Hey Nyssa," I hear Damien behind me. Damien sits down by me, "what's going on?" "Just... thinking." "Thinking of what?" "Of everything that's happened since we got out." "Are you mainly thinking of Zack...?" "Yeah..." It still hurts... Damien wraps his arm around me and I lean against him. "I thought he loved me Damien." "I thought he did to." "Now about what you said..." "I knew we were gonna talk about this sometime. Okay. Well, before you and Zack being together didn't bother me. But as time went... I started to feel something. You made me feel something, I never felt it before. And when I saw you and Zack together, it hurt. Because I knew you were in love with him. But when you told me you didn't know if you still loved him, I thought the place was getting to you. But I think it was something else."

I look down at my lap and close my eyes. "The more I didn't see him, the harder it was to focus on him. I was mainly with you. I guess deep down.. I was starting to have feelings for you." "I do love you Nyssa, you helped me feel love for the first time in my life. Real love. Not pretend love that Matt did. You changed me." "I did?" I look up at him. "Yeah. You did." Damien slowly kisses me and I kiss him back, it was different from the other times he's kissed me. It was full of love...

Damien's POV:
I look around the room and look at the time on my phone. They should be here any minute now. Craig is having me meet the rest of the family today. The door opens and Craig smiles at me, "ready to meet your mom and siblings?" I nod and Craig walks in holding a little girl's hand, she was blonde and really cute, missing for two front teeth. A beautiful woman walks in holding a baby, looks like a baby boy. "Damien, this is Leila and Caige, and this is your mother Gab." I walk up to them and stare at Gab's. I look at Craig and look back at her, it was like I was staring into my own eyes. Gab smiles at me, "I never thought that I would see you again Damien." "Hi I'm Leila, daddy told me your my older brother." I kneel down and smile at Leila, "yeah I'm your older brother." "You look just like daddy." "I know." I pick up Leila and she wraps her small arms around my neck. "This is your little brother," Gab lets me see Caige, he looks just like Craig.

I can't believe I'm standing in the same room as my family, I'm with my real family. I slowly start crying and smile at all of them. I put Leila down and Gab lets Craig hold Caige. Gab pulls me in and I wrap my arms around her, and I start crying more. "I love you so much Damien, we been trying to find you for years. I swear we didn't want to give you up." "I love you too, mom. And I believe you." I finally feel whole for once in my life. I'm with Nyssa, and I'm with my real family. Finally feeling loved for once in my life.

Notes

I'm sorry to say but there will NOT be a sequel to this. When I was writing Jack's House I planned for a sequel, but nothing more. The reason there won't be a sequel is because the only ATL member that would be in the story is Rian.
