Eternal Love

⁕Chapter 5⁕

Edited

Hailey looks at Nathaniel, her eyes now softened. She knows that her friends want the best for her and her happiness even if they have to go behind her back to achieve that. Maybe Nathaniel deserves to know the truth.

Seeing him that day in her office brought back all the love and feelings, she buried deep in her heart. That day, she wanted to jump in his arms and hug him tightly. To tell him the truth. To apologize for her hurtful words, for the pain she gave him.

But the coldness and hate in his eyes told her that he would not listen to her. Coming back to the presence, she nods her head at him.

"Ok. I guess you deserve the truth. But not today. I am tired. I need to go home."

She says tiredly.

She looks at the others for a few seconds before making her way out of the office and the building.

Nathaniel turns around and looks at Kayla. Before he can ask his question, she talks knowing what is on his mind.

"Don't worry. She'll tell you. Just give her some time. Thank you for coming in such a short time and sorry for lying."

Once home, Hailey takes a much needed bath to relax. No one knows the reason why she was absent from work. Since the nightmares continue to haunt her and taking away her sleep, she made an appointment with a famous therapist recommended by her first one, Mrs Jones.

Unfortunately she has migrated to another country or else she would have gone to her. The session with her new therapist, Mr Miller, went well. She was the one who did the talking relating to him about her life before that unfortunate night.

Her next session is in two days. Disheartened, she agreed for the next session. She hates talking about that monster. It just brings back horrible memories.

Maybe it will be easier to talk with Nathan. In a way, his comeback in her life triggered the nightmares. With her mind made, she decides to call him after her bath. One hour later, she is dialling his number. She puts the phone to her ear and waits for him to pick up his mobile. On the third ring, she hears his voice.

"Hello."

"Hey. It's me. Hailey. I hope I am not disturbing you."

"Hailey. I was worried about you. Are you ok? You seemed really tired and down when I saw you at the office."

Her heart melts at his concern. She can hear how worried he is in the tone of his voice.

"There's nothing to worry. Like you mentioned. I am just tired. Uhh. Are you free tomorrow?Can we meet?"

"Of course. Just tell me the time and place."

He responds immediately.

"Eleven o'clock. At our favourite place."

She says not specifying the name of the place. If he still has some feelings for her, he will know about the place she has mentioned.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok. Thanks Nathan. Bye."

She hangs up the call after Nathaniel says bye.

"Please God. Give me the strength to tell him about my past."

She murmurs looking up at the ceiling praying for strength and for her not to break down in front of him.

She does not know what will happen after telling him the truth. She really wants them to start over and to be together. But it all depends on him. Whether he will give her a chance or move on from her.
