The Only Girl In The World

Chapter Twenty-Three

~Kaylee

Do I ever regret sneaking out of the house every night?

Going against my parent’s rules?

Listening to my heart?

No.

And I would do it thousand times.

Just so I could get to fall in love with him all over again.

I finally found my Prince charming.

Now we can live in out happily ever after.

Fairy tales really do come true.

I smiled as I read the last line, a picture of my mom and dad in their early years glued to the page of my mom’s book.

They looked so carefree, happy and in love. Perfect, like they were made for each other. Reading her diary, I learnt a lot of things I never knew about her.

Who knew my mom was a rebel? Fighting for what she wanted or rather who she wanted. She was such a fiery and free spirited person and it made me admire her all the more.

But the more I thought about it, the more the smile wiped off my face.

Happily ever after? Fairytales?

She got what she wanted yeah, had a family with who she loved but at the end, where was it? He was gone and she was gone. Soon, I’d be gone too.

Where’s the happy ending in that? Will I even get to have my own happy ending?

“Probably not.” I mumbled out closing the book.

I sat up on my bed and took the identical journal which was mine. Grabbing my pen, I opened it up and stared at the blank pages.

What to write? Where to even begin?

After five minutes of staring blankly at the pages, I eventually gave up and fell back on my bed. My mind automatically drifting off to a certain person I’ve been avoiding.

Christian. We haven’t talked since he brought me back. I’ve been avoiding his calls and ignoring his messages.

I was sick so you can’t blame me really. I admit, it was partly because I didn’t know what to tell him.

Should I continue lying to him? Make up some excuse and hope he would wave it off? Or should I tell him the truth?

Before I wouldn’t care less if he knew or not, but now I feel like he deserves to know especially since we were actually dating. Then why was I so afraid?

Was it because I knew I might lose him. I mean I was going to die, so what was the point of him wasting his time on me when I’d be gone at the end.

So why I did I let any of this get to this extent if I expected it? Deep down I knew the answer but I didn’t want to admit it out.

Sighing, I closed my eyes and cleared the thoughts out of my mind.

“No overthinking this.” I said to myself.

I jumped in shock as I heard a knock on my door.

“Coming.” I said getting up to open the door.

As soon as I opened my door and saw who it was, I immediately slammed it back. I didn’t expect anyone but Rick to be the one knocking instead, its Christian standing behind the door right now!

“Really?” I heard him ask from behind the door.

Mustering up some courage, I slowly opened the door with a big fake smile plastered on my face. So fake, he rose his eyebrows at me in disbelief.
