Time Flies(Editing In Progress)

Chapter 7 Part 2

Ava stopped and I held her in my arms and she cried a bit. I was afraid I knew what she was going to say. She pulled back from me and I squeezed her hand as she continued.

"He...H-e..He.. wanted to sleep with me and I didn't want to. I was tired of everything." She stops talking because she couldn't talk. She lets down all the tears she was holding up and breaks down. Her voice was tearing down. I couldn't see her like this. It was breaking me seeing her like this. I felt the tears forming in my eyes. "It's fine, Ava. You don't have to say anymore."

"No. I want to say. I was so alone and scared. I was shattered. I knew what he would do if I refused? So I took a drastic step. It was enough for me to handle so I took a knife and cut my wrist. I was lying on my bedroom floor for hours. All the time I was awake, I was thinking about what wrong I did. My parents left me, they took away my mother and sister and this. My maid found me on time and took me to the hospital. She filed a report against Harry and he was arrested."

Just when I thought this couldn't get worse it did. My fists clenched at the thought of it. How can someone take advantage of that? She had been through so much that she was forced to take her life.

I was speechless at how strong she was after all she went through. She broke down in front of me and I had never seen her this broken. Before she could say anything else I wrap my arms around her. She buried her head holding me tight while sobbing. I rubbed her back trying to calm her.

I had never felt so helpless. I didn't know what to say. She was crying aloud and I held her tight. She cried and cried her heart out. It was Ava letting her guard down and letting me in. Tears streamed down my eyes seeing her cry. I couldn't see her like this. Tears welled up in my eyes looking at her. Apart from me felt good that she felt comfortable sharing this with me.

"I never shared this with anyone. I am scared that one day he will come after me for putting him in jail. He made me lose faith in love. I am scared to love again but...I still remember the last words he said to me. I will come back and make you pay for all of this." She said and I held her tight.

"You are safe with me Ava. As I said earlier nothing can change my feelings for you. You are the strongest woman I ever met. If possible it only makes me fall in love more than I do. I WILL NOT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU EVER AGAIN. ANYONE HAS TO GET THROUGH ME TO GET YOU. I know it's too soon but I LOVE YOU, AVA. They say when you know, you know and I know this is something."

I wipe the tears from her eyes and held her hand. I take her hands in between mine and she said.

"I was scared to love again but when I met you. You made me feel myself again. You make me happy. You didn't know anything about me yet you let me live at your house, hired me, and did all those things which made me happy. Never had I imagined myself walking down a ramp but I did because of you. The more I tried to go away, the more I was attracted to you. I was scared that what if you don't feel the same. Now that you have confessed your feelings. I can't deny it anymore. I love you, David."

She closes the distance between us and hugged me. Did she say I love you? I am hearing this right.
"I can't believe my ears. Can you say it again? I don't want to open my eyes. If this is a dream, let this beautiful dream delude me."

"I love you, David." She said chuckling. So this isn't a dream.
I was still holding her in my arms. I still couldn't believe it. It felt like a dream and if I left her she would disappear. I held her till what felt like an eternity. We both didn't say anything but our silence spoke a thousand words. "You made my day. I still can't believe it. This is the best day of my life. I knew that you loved me too but it feels so good to hear it, Ava...Ava..."

I called her twice and she didn't respond. When I take a glance at her. She slept in my arms. She was exhausted after all of this. I didn't wake her up so I slowly lifted her in my arms and placed her on her bed. I take my hand off and tried to leave slowly so I don't wake her up when she clutched my hand by my wrist and looked at me with pleading eyes. "Please stay."

"I can sleep on the couch if you want."

"No, I want you to sleep here with me."

She looked at me with those gleaming blue eyes and I knew I would do anything if it were for those beautiful blue eyes. I didn't need to be told twice. I jumped on the bed and slept beside her. She surrounded my arms me and I held her. She buries her head on my chest. I feel her body calm down when I held her.

"David, this feels too good to be true. I have this feeling that something will go wrong. Things are so perfect." She says and silenced her down. I will do anything that takes to not be hurt.
"Shhh! EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. Tomorrow will be a new beginning for us."

"I have been hurt a lot. Never hurt me, David." She says. I will never hurt her and I will not let anyone hurt her either.

"Never. Let me take you on a date tomorrow."

"I would be glad but how will you manage everything in a day."

"I already planned it. I kind of knew you loved me so I already planned everything." She giggles and I felt a bit relieved seeing her smile.

"What have you planned Mr. David Smith?"

"It's a surprise."

(Both have admitted their feelings for each other. What has David planned for the date? How will the date go? See you next.)
