Forbidden Fruit: Mated To My Sister's Best Friend Chapter 240

Sof's Point of View

"Do you want me to go and tell her?" Ethan asked. We were standing outside of Ava's hospital room. I knew Ethan knew I was nervous about talking to Ava and telling her what her punishment was going to be. It was crazy. Even though Ava hurt me a lot, I still felt terrible that I was going to have to punish her. I think part of it was because I knew the situation could have been switched. I could have been the one my mom gave away and been raised with a witch. I wonder if I would have done the same things Ava did. I am sure I would have trusted Queen Gina just like Ava did.. I mean, she treated her good all through her childhood. I understand why Ava trusted her so much. 

I felt Ava and I were both victims in this situation. Even though I forgave my mom and we were starting a new relationship, I knew she was partly to blame. Actually, a lot of this was her fault. If she had never given Ava away, then none of this would have happened. At the same time, Ava is the one who made the decision to come and betray us. So, she is to blame for her own actions. I was mistreated by my mom as a kid. There were a few times when I could have turned evil, but I didn't. So  I know Ava didn't have to do what she did. She did it on her own. 

"No, I need to do this," I said, and I walked into the room with Ehtan by my side. 

"As soon as we walked into the room, Ava looked at us. 

"Hello," Ava said

"How are you feeling?" I asked

"I am feeling better," Ava said

"Yeah, Dr. Sally said you will be getting out of here in a few days. I, um, wanted to talk to you about what will happen  after you are discharged," I said

"I knew you would come here sometime. I know you have to talk to me about my punishment," Ava said

"Yes, you know what you did was bad. I gave you so many chances but you still betrayed me. So, I have to punish you," I said

"I know," Ava said

"So, we have decided to send you to the pack jail for five years. After that, you will be banished from all werewolf and vampire packs. That means that if you go into any of the packs, you will..."

"I will be killed on sight," Ava said

"Yes," I replied

"Okay, I understand. I did some terrible things, and like you said, you gave me a few chances, but I didn't change. I want you to know that I regret all of it. I wish I would have done things differently. I knew I was wrong. I knew you were a good person, but I listened to Queen Gina. This is all my fault, and I want both of you to know that I am truly sorry," Ava said. I felt she was telling the truth, but it was too late. I wish she would have realized all of that earlier, but she didn't, and now she has to deal with the consequences of her actions.

"I wish you would have realized all of that earlier. I truly do," I said

"So do I," Ava said, and Ethan and I let. I couldn't help the tears that left my eyes as we left. Once we were out of the jail Ethan wrapped his arms around my body. 

"It's okay, My Love. You can cry," Ethan said, and I did just that. I let all of it out while Ethan just held me tight. Why did this have to happen? Why did Ava and I have to suffer so much? It just wasn't fair. Once I was finished crying, Ethan and I went up to our room. The babies were with Stacie. She had been watching them since the council arrived earlier that morning. 

"I just can't stop thinking about how unfair this is. Why did Ava and I have to go through this? Why didn't my mom keep her and raise us together? Why did my mom have to mistreat me? Why couldn't she be a mother to both Ava and me adn raise us with love? None of this had to happen," I said. Ethan just stayed quiet, letting me talk. "I know my mom has changed, and our relationship is getting better. But this just makes me upset with her. It makes me think of all the things she did wrong. I want to tell her how I feel, and that makes me feel bad because I already forgave her and promised to start over."

"I know you promised to start over, but that doesn't mean you have to keep your emotions inside. I think you need to talk to her and get your feelings out," Ethan said.
