Restored

Broken

Molly

Ashley took the headset off my head and I knew instantly that she was pissed. I don't remember doing anything to her. I have been here since morning. Not bothering anyone.

"Ash, what's the matter?" I asked cooly.

"What is the time?" She asked angrily.

"It's almost five I guess. My watch says 5:32. Why what's the matter?"

"Alex is still down there, he has not eaten anything today, he is crying as if he was still a kid or someone who has wronged you."

"But I told you to give...."

" You told me to give him food and so what. Do you even love him. Are you not being selfish here. Is it his fault that you were r***d? Can't you put the whole incident out of the scenes?" She blurted out angrily

"No Ash, no. I can't put that out of my relationship with him. He should leave. I can't face him. He will be with me and be all guilty every single day. Thinking it's his fault and everything."

"Just tell him something." She said and walked out.

I looked out the window and what I saw broke my heart into many tiny pieces. Alex can't be like this he will make things difficult for me. I am not allowed to feel guilty in such a situation. He should at least go and come back another day. I am not ready to face him. I don't know how but my legs somehow got me downstairs. Ashley eyed me as I walked pass her. I don't even know what I am going to say or how to react. Deep down I want to run into his arms and hug him but I can't do that.

"Alex." I said softly from behind him.

" Molly, my dear, how are you doing. I miss you.. a lot."

He almost hugged me but I put him off. I don't want to give any false hopes.

"Alex why are you still here? Don't worry, I don't need your answer. Look I won't deny that I loved you madly three days ago. The only problem is that now I don't, I am sorry about that" I said boldly.

"Molly, what happened to our love. The promises and everything. Please I know everything now and you can't make me pay for my father's mistakes. Please just give us this chance. Let's give ourselves some time. Please. Don't make a hasty decision."

"Alex no. I can't be with you no matter what. My past will haunt me. His blood runs through your veins. I separated a child and a father. You hit your dad because of me. I can't come between a father and his son."

"Nobody is putting you between us. There was never a father and a son. Please I am just begging you. Just give yourself time to think about this whole situation. I don't mind waiting for you to get over this. I love you."

"Alex just leave." I didn't want to cry but another word from him and I will break down.

"Molly I will be waiting for you. Please don't kill our love."

I knew another word from me will break me down. I just turned to leave but Alex held unto me. He pulled me into his arms and I got the warmest hug. I had missed that feeling. A great assurance from Alex. I didn't pull back. When he was okay, he hopped into his car and drove off.

I run upstairs into my room and poured my heart out. This is more painful than I anticipated. My heart was bleeding. I wanted to call Alex back. I really loved him, can't I just let go all the pain and be with him?

No you can't, my inner self spoke to me.

The three weeks ahead of me had promised to be the best weeks of my life but no. I was preparing for my graduation that is scheduled for the next two weeks and Ashley's wedding which was the week after my graduation. And here I am, crying and fighting with the only person I could ever love.

I will be fine. I will make it through these trials. After the graduation and the wedding, I will go on a vacation with dad. Alone time with my only person. By that time Ashley will be married and I will be alone.

What about Alex? He won't have anyone to go out with. He will be all alone and going through this pain. Oh God please help him to go through all this. He is too good to go through this pain.

Alex

So today is the graduation day and Molly didn't even invite me. Over the past two weeks, the only time I saw her was when we were going to try out our clothes for the wedding. She was the bridesmaid and I the groomsman. I didn't see how that can be done successfully now that we don't talk to each other.

I waited outside the auditorium as the ceremony went on. I had always anticipated for this day. We had planned to go to a party the graduation night. Molly had also anticipated till my dad suddenly appeared and destroyed everything.

The ceremony was over now and family and friends filed out of the auditorium laughing and looking all happy. I saw Molly with her dad, Ashley and Johnny. I told myself I was okay now. My main aim was to see her on her happiest day and I just did that. I just wanted to get closer and congratulate her. When did I get stuck with one woman, no way. I need to get myself occupied. Maybe I just wasn't meant to be with her. I kept telling myself I was leaving this place but here I was behind Molly. No I didn't leave. I decided to show my face and remind her of the fact that I am still waiting for her to come back to me. I saw how she moved away from the guy she was talking to. I just like seeing that reaction, it shows the difference between the others and I.
