Chapter 15: Exile 💨

Start from the beginning
                                    

"—yes Jon." You stop his rambling with a kiss. Wrapping your arms around him.

He lifts you up and put your foot up as he twirls you.

• PRESENT TIME; BOSTON, MA; 2012•

"And we got married there....." you bite on your nail.

Chris can't even look at you, you know this is probably really hard for him.

You try to reach for his hand, you know you should've told him from the beginning but you were so happy to be with him again, your high school sweetheart.

"So what you're saying is we can't get remarried until you divorce that....Jon."

"Y-Yes," you look down, guilty.

"I should've told you before, I know and I'm sorry, but I-I everything became so real when we found out we're expecting I just knew I needed to tell you one way or another."

Chris moves away the comforters, stepping in front of the window.

"Why can't we just be together? Why does something always have to happen?" He sighs, lost in his thoughts.

You stand, walking behind him. Reaching out to touch him but you decide to keep your hands on your sides for now.

"Answer me this," he turns around, hands on your shoulders, "if I never came to stop the wedding, hell if I didn't come back at all were you planning on having kids with him? Living my dream...with him?"

You look down at the ground at your bare feet, a tear falling down. He picks your head up to look into his eyes.

He took your silence as an answer, "you gotta be kidding me." He scoffs, "I don't even know who you are right now!" He shouts.

"I thought we were over with Chris!" You almost shout at him, "what was I supposed to do? Stop my life? Stop living my life just because you weren't in it

"I thought we were over with Chris!" You almost shout at him, "what was I supposed to do? Stop my life? Stop living my life just because you weren't in it."

He gives you the most saddest look ever, "I wouldn't be able to live my life without you because you are my life. Ever since we were 18, in love, and high hopes for the future. I knew I couldn't live without you....but I guess you don't feel the same."

"Chris! I-I didn't mean that, I-I—"

"—I'm going for a drive." He slips some shoes on and grabs a jacket from his closet.

"Please, don't go." You whisper.

"I'll be back...." He mumbles, walking through the house with you following him, ".....just need to think."

"About what?" You wave your hands in the air.

"Do you even love me, Y/n?" Chris angrily grabs his car keys.

"How could you ask me that?!" You're shouting now, "of course I love you Chris, I am in love with you."

"Cause it feels like you just got back with me because you felt you had to! By all means you could leave and enjoy your married rich life next to Dr.Jon!" He raises his voice as well.
