Chapter Thirty-Nine

last update Last Updated: 2022-01-01 15:45:51
I wondered which parents derive so much pleasure watching their children struggle to live due to depression and do nothing about it. I was sick and tired of making decisions for a grown-up like Michelle.

Hero irritated me the most and I hated her father for never standing up to his horrible wife, who wanted nothing but the descent of their daughter.

Henry on the other hand was useful, he cared and stood by her each step of the way. He never left her side whenever she was down, it was as though he was made just for her.

No other person seemed to be perfect for her at that moment but him. I believed they were a perfect match.

He was a who could never judge her or use her insecurities against her. He had been helpful even though he knew he was risking his life just to be with Michelle.

It was a battle of whom Michelle would choose at the end of the day.

" How are you?"

" I'm good. I just had the best time of my life. " she giggled. Even though I wasn't with her, I could sense her excitem

He would never look at me if it wasn't for the fact that he needed his darling ex back.No one wanted a crazy old lady as his girlfriend, fiancee to talk more of a spouse. No one.No man wanted a woman who never listens. Someone who carried herself so high and saw others as nothing.Connor never wanted me.

    " Thank you, Cole." I whimpered.As I continued out of his chambers, I felt the tears that I had been holding back all the while, roll down my cheeks.Falling in love with someone and having them live your life, was harder than I thought.I was able to drive myself to a hotel. There I spent the night, that way I could stave off any questions from my mom regarding my returning home that night after I had called to tell her I won't be coming back. I also needed to be alone and drink myself to sleep. I had ordered a bottle of whiskey and it was brought to my room in a jiffy. I sat by the corner of my bed and began drowning my sorrows in alcohol. once I sipped the last drop of whiskey in the bottle, I felt someone's presence in the room and slowly turn from the floor where I sat. Our eyes met and wearing his cute smile that lights up the room, he gazed at me. " what are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be here. We are done, aren't we? So please jus

    " Isn't it obvious? The way she regales me. No mother would treat their child like that. Our relationship is messed up, I don't think I would ever find that which I craved from her. I sometimes blame my father for not standing up for the right thing, for me." I chuckled softly. One thing, I was glad to know she saw her mother from her perspective. The woman was peccable, voracious, and hated people who aren't useful to her.You know, I had thought about her not being Michelle's birth mother. Fuck it! Even an adopted mother could love a child more than a real mother so long she is a good human being. Michelle's mom never acted like someone who deserved to be called a mother. Her behavior is like that of a child irrational, and annoying. It sickens me to the bone.Silence engulfed us. It was time to open up to my best friend, talk to her about my deeds and life of fibs. " Are you alright? You seem off. Do you want anything?" I gulped. Was it so egregious th

    " What the hell are you doing here?" I asked in annoyance.His face irritated me. His presence disgusts the shit out of me.I should have been flustered it wasn't Michelle's mom, but I couldn't help the disgust I felt staring at the unabashed figure standing in front of me." Please Gabby, don't close the door on me." He begged, using his hand to hold the door as I was about to shut it right in his ugly face.I scanned him from his head to his feet. He was wearing the pair of Jordan I got him for his birthday. Ugh, wasn't this guy ashamed of himself for goodness sake? " Hey! I don't know what dragged you to my doorstep and I don't fucking wanna know. So please take your dirty disgusting self out of my house before I lose my shit on you or perhaps I should call the cops." I clenched my fist in anger." Please, just hear me out this once?" He begged. I ignored his pleas and rasped.I chuckled softly. " This isn't the right time to hear you out. You should

Why?"" isn't it obvious?"I shook my head." you know... He began, fondling the back of his neck. I... No, Miles said such hurtful things to you, so I thought this little gesture of mine would make you feel better."I tilted my head to the side, watching him closely. Why did it seem like he just told me a fable? I sensed some odd behavior. How he spoke to me like he was short of words or perhaps he was trying to fix his words without sounding crazy." I don't believe you. " I said. I tore open the box and picked out heart-shaped chocolate, opened it, and took a bite out of it. " Miles did say hurtful things to me, and I suppose he should

Miles ran to me the moment I walked in.I plopped myself down on the couch, letting out a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop the smile that forced its way to my lips. " Yes. I talked to her." I muttered as I couldn't stop the excitement inside of me each time my mind went to what had happened between us." Okay... I take it with the smile on your face that everything went well?" Miles stared at me bewildered at my lost state." yes, it did." " So what did she say when you confessed your feelings to her?" He queried." Nothing. I couldn't bring myself to say those words yet."" What! Why?" He jumped." Calm down buddy, this guy's got a plan." I winked at him and started up to my chambers.Walking into my bedroom, I continued straight to the restroom, went through my drug cabinet, and took out some painkillers.

I couldn't stop thinking about my crazy evening with Cole yesterday, it still felt like a dream perhaps a real wet and dirty indelible dream, that I wished I had every morning and night like a vitamin pill.

Nothing like that will happen, we are just good friends that's all." " Uh-huh, good friends that fuck huh?"" Michelle quit teasing me or I'm going to hang up." I threatened to take the phone off my ear." Not yet, hold on! She yelled. There is something I need to tell you." Just in the nick of time, my secretary knocked on the door. " Yeah, come in," I announced and she proceeded into my office carrying a big box in her hands." A message for you ma'am." She placed it on my table and continued out." Hey, Mich. A box just came in for me can we talk later?" I asked her while analyzing the big box in front of me. " Listen Gab, I can't see you later. I must tell you now

    On getting there, They all had a smile on their faces as I walked up to them." Sir, since the bride is here shall we commence with marriage?" Miles asked the man I presume to be a priest or a lawyer." Of course, please let the bride and groom come forward." He announced and Cole rolled his wheelchair towards him while I walked next to him.He went ahead and did the norm for a union and asked us to say our vows.Cole held my hand as he gazed into my eyes. " First of all, I want to start by telling you how gorgeous you look in your dress, and use this opportunity to thank you for being a part of my life. I met you when I had given up on everything and your presence not only brought love into my life again but it brought a light in this dark heart of mine, my love.

    A week later, I got a call from Miles that Cole was finally awake. My heart leaped in excitement on hearing such wonderful news.I left everything I was doing and took off to the hospital, and while I ran through the halls it felt like I wasn't speeding up enough, that I needed to fly if possible teleport to his room. I just couldn't wait to see him, to hear his beautiful voice again.But when I opened the door, I was met with a sad face, Miles seemed not quite excited as I speculated he would be, rather he was glum and his eyes appeared red as if he had been crying." Gabby! Hey, you. You are here." He forced a smile as he walked up to me and gave me a quick hug. I didn't think anything could be wrong on such a joyous day so I never cared to ask." He has been asking for you ever since he opened his eyes," Miles muttered. " Really?" " Yeah, why don't you go ahead and see him? I will wait outside." he left the room immediately before I could say a word.I hurriedly made my way to C

    " Please have a seat." The doctor gestured with his hand before proceeding across the table and settling right in front of us." Doctor, please can you explain to us what is going on here? What happened to my friend?" Miles broke the silence immediately. The doctor took a deep sigh and picked up a chat from his desk and ran his eyes through it before raising his head to look at us again." I am sorry to say but Mr. Cole has had a brain tumor for a while now." " What! How long is a while doctor?" Miles asked while I just sat there frozen in time as I was trying so hard to process everything going on around me." It's been three years already. He has been managing the tumor growth for thread years and has refused surgery until recently when he suddenly called me and told me that he wanted to go through with the surgery. I was beyond excited for him and offered to leave my vacation with my family midway to come to attend to him but he insisted to take his team to the finals, and after t

The mumbling began as quickly as I was recognized by a few people around and from there, in just solid seconds the entire eyes on the arena had turned my way.I had my hand over my face as I hurriedly left for my car.I kept reprimanding my heart for feeling hurt when it knows that nothing was real. Everything was just a game, and nothing more. I don't have the right to be upset, I wanted him to choose someone else, to be with his family. He made it clear to me that he loves someone else at first and I believed his words. How on earth was I supposed to know that I was the one he loves? How could he do this to me? Perhaps he still wants to play games with his ex-wife? He didn't leave me with any choice.I was mumbling to myself as I walked down the parking lot.Just as I was about to open the door of my car, someone held my hand I knew he was

I got up and saw it was a foreign number, a call from my bestie Michelle, quickly I slide my thumb across the screen. " Hey, Gabby! Are you dressed up yet? " Michele asked without hesitation.Oh yeah! I forgot today is the game. But it wouldn't hurt to pull Michelle's legs just a little bit." Dressed up for what exactly? Where am I going?" Did I ask bluntly? " Are you fucking kidding me!" She screamed almost deafening my eardrums. Girl do I have to come over there and whoop your ass myself?" I could sense the fury in her voice. I burst into laughter immediately, I couldn't hold back the pretense anymore.I hear her heave a sigh of relief. " Please never do that again!" " I'm sorry Mich, I'm so sorry.
