Chapter Twenty-four -The letter

Everyone was all excited about this couple wedding as they were all dressed up in suits or dresses taking their place to seat in the main party halls being with their friends and family members whilst watching the beautiful couple do their wedding vows before the speeches were made by their bridesmaids as well as their groomsmen on their behalf of the lovely couple next on the agenda was serving every single guest their food which made me cry happy tears for the couple who deserve a happiness and good life together.

Each dishes were taken pictures of to be prove as evidence of my assignment then the rest of the team such as my friends who were serving them food even though they were celebrating how we managed to pull off the whole plan together also I think we did pretty well today but I feel like I needed to have some air so I run out of the kitchen door exit to be able to breathe because I really need a break from everything else that reminds me of him since he was the only reason why I stop having those horrible nightmares at night now the other side of the bed has gone cold.

His big old t-shirt no longer smells like him too.

"I missed him so damn much but, why does everything hurt like hell right now!"I screamed quietly sliding my back down in front of the exit door.

I decided to take out the business card of my back pocket to call Ambrose especially when he was my only source or way of contacting the one person who voice I needed to hear right now despite him being with policeman duties while waiting patiently for him to pick up the phone I walked straight through a crowd of people heading over towards nowhere as I come in sight of a park to sit down on a swing reading the card Layton wrote for me.

Dear, my sweetest angel

I know that you are probably wondering what I have been up to in the last couple of weeks since you have last seen me and if you asked how I know this. Well, it is because I was wondering the same thing about you too.

I miss everything about you from your laughs,  light brown hazel eyes, beautiful smile, angelic voice, your heart rate beating quickly anytime when you are standing right next to me,to the way how selfless you are and lastly, I missed the feelings of you being in my arms or our deep late night talks about life.

You are  my strong, beautiful and loving woman.

Your truly,
Number twenty three,
Layton.

"Hello, who is this?"asked Ambrose.

Hastily, I was wiping my tears out of my eyes as I breathe for a while trying not let my show how sad I was even if my hands were kind of shaking alongside my voice so I cleared my throat staring at the floor as I felt lonely without him In addition to completely feeling overwhelming pushing through too much work to numb my pain in the moments where I felt like I had to be strong enough for the next couple weeks of training before my plan started to go into action itself and then maybe I could have helped out the police if it means I was going to get him back.

Other than that I decided to put on a fake smile on my face when nothing was going well for me but I think pretending was the only chance I would ever have remotely close to happiness and happiness was just a feeling in compared with positively which was a mindset that I would choose to be able to have in this instance of loneliness.

"Hey....it is Lana, the girl who you met in McDonald's and you were dressed up as a policeman going undercover as a janitor" I reminded him.

A few clicks on the policeman's computer was what I was hearing in the background of the phone as I was waiting patiently for him to recognise my voice when he chuckled at the memory of him going undercover thereafter, he was discussing something important to his colleagues hence the reason why I was distracting myself looking up at the sky. Continuously sat here, waiting as he put me on hold for a few minutes and abruptly he decided to start to speak up on the phone.

Ambrose cleared his throat and said, "yeah, I remembered you, Lana, and if you are asking me to give the phone to Mr grumpy guts over here then my answer is yes, I passed the phone to him".

There was a scuffling over the phone on the other end of the line which means that he was trying to get the phone off of Ambrose to talk to me about everything else that he had been up to for six weeks after I had last seen him proposing to me and my answer was yes, of course, because I believe in something, I believe in us.

Not one of us was quite sure how to speak first since we haven't spoken to each other weeks ago, I was assuming that he wasn't going to hear me holding back my tears as I sniffed them all back to be strong enough to hear his voice without sobbing.

He breathed and then asked me"my beautiful angel is that you?"

"Yes, it is me and I missed you so much when you are not there to tell me that everything is going to be alright, but I have started searching for wedding dresses" I mentioned to him.

My beautiful angel was what he called me and every angel needs to fix their wings to learn how to fall again.

He was my protector from the darkness of the world who made his sole purpose was to provide shelter from the downpour that have been raining heavily on us also he was supposed to continue to comfort me as I was supposed to be the only one who was supposed to be there to help him when he needed it the most.

Our love wasn't a one-way Street between the two of us however, it was a two-way street where we have a mutual understanding and love for each other.

"I'm sure all of those wedding dresses looked fanatics on you but the one that you choose will look beautifully stunning on you making me feel breathless yet speechless and I can't wait to see tear it off after we get married" he told me.

In this moment of hearing his voice was totally what I needed to hear him being himself as he kept on complimenting me or telling me a joke even driving me nuts but that is what I love about him having this calming effect on me as well as a few numbers of butterflies flying everywhere in me.

Anytime the clocks strike eleven to eleven I still make a wish for him to be right beside me watching our favourite movie even though I tell him every time that the book was better than the movie since it gives the characters a bit more characters development to see what progress they have made throughout the movie, especially after all the obstacles and how much the impact of the choice affects them.

"So, tell me how you have been doing these last few days?" I asked him.

Maybe if I  asked him how he was feeling it would be a good distraction to prevent me from crying even more than I already was?

The sad yet happy moment of talking to him was when he was humming the song to build a home by the cinema orchestras bearing in mind that he actually started singing the words to the song along with his colleagues who were making the harmonies together for it. I almost wept into tears again because it was one of the best song that I had ever listened to on rainy days and we used to dance this song on our prom night in the rain which was the best moments of my life.

"I am okay but mostly thinking of you every single hour of my day"he says honestly to me as I was listening to what he had to say before he started singing to me "There a house built out of stone, wooden floors, walls and windows sills"

I sang along with him not caring about who was listening to me singing my heart out as this was his way of telling me that he was willing to risk his life going undercover to hunt those prisoners down to give every single thing that I desire moreover, he would eventually build our future house himself if he had to once the problem of this situation was sorted out.

Eventually, the chorus of this song came as we started singing it together not knowing that my friends were singing along with each other, and they were all had huddled up behind me as it means so much to me that they were showing their support for me.

"Out of the garden we had planted a seed" sang Penelope.

Cynthia, Tilly and the rest of the boy's started to join in with us. "There is a tree as old as me".

"Branches were sewn by the colour of green," sang my older brother Benji.

  A couple of minutes before I was joined by the whole police officers crew "by the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top" they all sang together.

I laughed loving every single moment of it and then sang " I climbed the trees to see the whole world when the gusts came around to blow me down" I paused to take a break to look around then I continue the last few verses of the song before being pulled into another hug by my friends.

In the back of my mind, I have started to realise that I was never truly going to be alone ever again not when I had everything I ever need except for having only one specific boy by my side who has ticked off all of my boxes and made me open up my walls one more time to let him into the ajar gap between my barrier entry toward me even if we were just a slight risk of developing feeling for each other but we both took wondering what will happen if we ever fall in love with each other.

Many outcomes of our love could have easily been a risk of ruining our friendships yet, when life gives me a chance to open up my heart to the feeling of being completely utterly and truly having an unconditional love that once had happened in a lifetime because loving him was like pure bliss in this air I was breathing and I was even more determined to make everything works out in the end.
