Chapter 54

Noah

Past

Natalie's wedding is taking place tomorrow morning. She is marrying Alaric, and I can't think. I can't sleep. My head is a jumbled mess, and my heart beats out of rhythm.

I love Natalie.

I love her so much it's physically painful.

And all I want is for Natalie to be happy, even if it destroys me.

But is she, though?

Is Natalie happy?

I roll around in my bed next to Lexie and rake my fingers through my hair. Natalie is a spreading disease. I love her, and I can't fight how that woman takes over my entire system. Ever since my memories came back, I have thought about her every minute.

I can't breathe.

And if I close my eyes, Natalie is there, smiling at me. She is the most beautiful person I've ever seen, inside and out. Pure. That woman is brighter than the sun.

Beautiful.

"Shit..." I stand up and swing my legs over my bed in the dark. An angry mutter leaves my lips. "I need to see a therapist..."

Once again, my brain is fevered by a million memories and thoughts of Natalie.
