What if this happened? - (NOT A CHAPTER)
This is NOT an update, I repeat, it's NOT an update, it's NOT a new chapter.
Remember the dream I told you about before, that's how it went, Well, I definitely added few things down here.
Anyway, I will remove this in few hours, I just wanted to share it with you guys.
And it's not spoilers lol, this won't happen, or would it? *winks*
It's just the dream I had, it doesn't actually click with how I planned things to go, but you never know what may change later *Winks again*
*Closes Alex's eyes because I don't want my baby to see this*
*****
Cara's POV
Brown eyes narrowed at me, "What do you mean?" He said.
I swallowed hard and gathered enough courage to finally tell the truth, "I mean this can't work Alex; like you said before, sometimes love is not everything." I sucked in a deep breath, the words left my mouth as a mere whisper, "Love doesn't always win."
He looked away from me, maybe he couldn't handle hearing those words, or maybe he just couldn't handle how true they were.
"We failed Alex," I added, a lump clogged my throat and I felt the tears pricking my eyes, "I love you, and you love me, I know but.. but we don't make each other happy-" my eyebrows pulled together, "We always hurt each other, we ruin each other, we kill each other-" I shook my head, "Love shouldn't be that way, it shouldn't be this much hard."
My lungs contracted painfully and it hurts, it does because I wish I can fix this but I can't.
It's way too messed up to be fixed.
This love ruined us in the most exquisite way possible. It's a curse, a spell; It's like the more we fell in love, the more we got hurt. We don't deserve this. We both don't.
He deserves better. I deserve better.
His eyes settled back at me, they went blank and the muscle in his jaw twitched, "You always give up easily Cara, when things get a little bit tough, you just turn your back and leave."
I shrugged sadly, "A little bit tough? Are you sure?" I said, "Alex the past months were hectic, nothing is working out, nothing-" I shook my head, "You're slipping out of my hand and I can do nothing, nothing to stop it." Tears were scrolling down by now, "You can't even handle to look in my face... Alex, you don't trust me."
"How do you expect me to?!" He bellowed, "How can I trust you after everything, tell me. How can I when I know, no, not know; I am sure that you- that -" He tripped over his words.
"Alex-" I tried to say.
He shook his head silencing me. He inched closer till few inches separated us, "Look me in the eyes then, look me in the eye and answer the question you couldn't answer before."
Air pushed in and out of his chest. He was too close that I can feel his harsh breath and I can hear the loud pumping of his heart.
"Eyes Cara, eyes-" He said sounding impatient. I swallowed hard and lifted my head to look him in the eye.
His eyebrows pulled together, "Do you, or do you not love my brother?"
Silence.
Words clogged my throat and nothing came out.
Utter silence.
He scoffed and took a step backward, "Nevermind. I got my answer."
"You want to leave, then leave. I am not gonna keep fighting for someone who doesn't even want me back." He seemed to mean every word, "I was able to live without you before, and I can definitely do it again." He shook his head, "I don't need you to make me happy. I have Lilly now, she is all I care about."
"But know for sure, that the moment you turn your back and go into that airport-" He pointed behind me at the gate, "- it will be over. You'll forget about me, you'll forget that you even have a daughter. "
"And god help me if you ever tried to come back into our lives. If you even dared to even show your face again, then.. then I will do the only thing I thought I am not capable of doing.." He looked dangerous at the moment, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare me, "Which is hurting you."
"I had enough with you people thinking that you can fuck me up like you want and then expect that by just saying sorry I will just forgive you and forget everything!" His voice raised with each word he muttered, "I had enough. I had enough with all of you stepping over me.
I learned my lesson."
He shook his head and hatred flared in his words, "All I wanted from you was to fight for me..like I always fought for you.
To show me that I am worth that one fucking fight!"
He shook his head and backed away, "But I am not going to fight for you anymore. You don't deserve it."
Tears were making a mess on my face but I didn't care. I just wanted them out, I had to let them out. I had to close this chapter before I open a new one.
"You know what, I am not gonna stand here and wait for you to walk away." He shook his head, "I am leaving."
He turned around ready to go but he stopped and faced me again and made sure to say one last thing, "I always felt that you'll be the death of me one day- but you know what, you're not even worthy of that.
I used to think that being away from you would kill me but turned out it's the total opposite.
If I stayed with you, you'll be my death. And without you, I may be able to live again."
With that, he turned around and walked away.
I brought my hand to my cheeks and wiped them dry. A small smile crawled into my lips, "It's true." I whispered to myself, "Your happiness is not with me." My hand went to my baby bump, my gaze dropped to it before I looked at Alex's retreating figure, "I really loved you, Alex."
And with that, I turned my back and walked away too.
That was the end of what we once had.
The end of our story.
Becuase let's face it, this is life, this is not a fairytale.
It's over. I am not coming back.
Like he said, I won't dare to show my face again.
I don't belong here.
I stepped into the airport, then into the plane, ready to leave everything behind.
I was ready.
That's how one story ended.
And that's how another one started.
****
When the plane landed, I was beyond exhausted but I had to do what I came here to do. I hopped into the Taxi and gave him the address. The one I had it memorized by heart.
Hours passed, time lost in the period that my truth was found. I looked out of the window, night had grown deep, and the traffic had long since cleared.
Tha man stopped by the main gate, I paid him and went down. I straightened my clothes and took in a very deep breath trying to ease some of the anxious feelings that took over my body. The security guy opened the gate for me and let me in. Air rushed fast to my chest as I made my way to the main door.
I rang the bell and within minutes it was opened. The old women standing behind it gave me a warm smile and ushered me to come in. She still remembered me from before. All of the maid staffs seemed to remember me, all sent me polite smiles as I made my way up the stairs.
I bursted into the darkened silent hallway before I stopped at the threshold of one of the room's door.
Light seeped from beneath his door. I paused in front of it, shaking, because truth was, I was scared. I fisted my hand, my heart beating all rough when I placed it over the door and lightly knocked.
I heard him mutter a low come in, but I didn't dare to open the door, so I just knocked again.
At that, I heard his footsteps nearing till they became so close; the knob twisted and the door slowly opened, I heard his annoyed voice as he said, "I said come i-"
His words took a halt as his eyes met mine. His head cocked up in shock as he stared back at me, my name left his mouth as a mere whisper, "Cara-"
Affection rushed through me and I kept fisting my hand, trying to contain myself. He blinked, green eyes acute as he watched me with uncertainty, "What are you - what-"
I let go of my purse making it drop to the ground before I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his neck; Pulling him closer, i let my lips crash against his. He went rigid, too shocked to react. My heart stuttered when he pulled me closer, his arms went around my body, holding onto me like he was clinging to life.
I kissed him; My blood pumped hard as he kissed me back.
Breaking free, he rested his forehead against mine, his eyes closed as he muttered, "Why did it feel so real?"
I smiled, "Because it is."
He opened his eyes and they locked on mine. Fingers gently caressed my face, green eyes intense, "I don't understand."
I kept my arms around his neck. I pulled my lower lip between my teeth as emotions rumbled thick in my chest, pushing and pulsing. I swallowed hard, my chest went tight and I let myself feel. I let myself feel what I want to feel, with no guilt, with no boundaries.
"They say that when you love two people at the same time. Choose the second, because if you really loved the first one-" I shook my head, "You wouldn't have fallen for the other."
His breath hitched at my words, he shook his head, "Are you trying to hurt me?"
I shook my head and tears slipped free, "No."
My voice shook, but rang with truth, "I love you." I said, my lips pulled up in a smile, "I love you, Nikolas."
And that scared the hell of me. But i am done with running away.
And i am ready to start this.
I want this.
If possible, he pulled me closer, his forehead rested on mine as he said,
"I love you too."
******
THE END
******
Imagine this is how the story would end. Oh my freaking god, i would be dead for sure.
I repeat again; THIS WONT HAPPEN BECAUSE I ALMSOT THREW UP WHEN I WROTE THE LAST PART. I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING
