Chapter 28 a love that stopped loving

I have not spoken to Tyler since yesterday since we brought him home from the hospital. When I wake up this morning, he is still fast asleep, so I make my way down to the kitchen, where I decide to phone Sandra.
"Morning, Sandra."
"Morning, sweety. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, better than I have in a while."
But she knows me all too well and knows that I am hiding something behind my trembling voice.
"What is wrong, Jenna?"
"Sandra, maybe I am not the right person for Tyler. I don't want to hurt him, but I think that maybe it is better that I leave him. I need to push him away."
"Jenna, you know that it is not something you want to do."
"Sandra, I have to. I need him to leave and forget about me. I have to. We cannot be together. I must just accept my fate, and Tyler needs to make peace with it."
I hear a shuffle of feet behind me. I turn around. It is Tyler; he has listened to every word I said. He looks at me and storms off outside. I have to fight off the urge to follow him. I remain standing there. As tears build up in my eyes.
After breakfast, I start packing and get ready to leave. Tyler looks at me as I start loading the car. I cannot read his face. He looks cold and emotionless. I don't know if he still loves me or if it has given place for hate. Why did I have to go and lie? It ruined everything. There is no turning back now.
But just as they are about to leave, he calls after me. "Jenna."
"Yes, Tyler."
"I'm not happy with your decisions, but I have always respected them. Please drive safe. Let Sandra know when you are home. This is possibly the best thing to do. You will phone when the baby is near? Don't try to do this by yourself. Please take care. I know you will be okay. I know our life together has come to an end, but I am still your friend."
"Thank you."
"Jenna."
"Yes, Tyler."
"Thank you for what was real between us. I would have rather spent the little time I had with you than nothing at all."
..... Tyler's POV.....
That was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Jenna's face was expressionless. There was no trace of hurt and pain or even happiness and hope on her face. There was just a void of nothingness. My heart has not registered this yet, but my head tells me how much of this is wrong.
Now I have Sandra phoning me as I step inside, I need not even have to say a word, and he knows that something has happened with Jenna and me. After telling him what has happened, he keeps quiet for a brief moment, "Tyler, are you not going to fight for her?
"Sandra, how can I fight for something that is built on a lie?"
"I am not going to argue about how selfish and irresponsible both of you are. But you can't just let her go like that. You know her life is in danger."
"Does it look like I am going to? I am still going after that man; I just need to make sure she is safe before I do."
Jenna's stubbornness is driving me up the walls. I need to find Jenna before it is too late. I have no idea where to begin. She won't go back to her family home, and I am most probably the only one that she had left.
I take my phone and dial her number. It just rings and rings and then goes to voicemail.
"Jenna, please let me know if you are okay."
I decided to send her a message instead.
"Jenna. I know you won't answer, but I need you to know something before I go. The first time I ever laid my eyes on you, I completely fell in love with you. I found absolutely every excuse to be in your presence. You were so beautiful, and you still are. Your smile is as warm as the sun. Your eyes twinkle like a stary night. You gave me the best days of my life. I wish that somehow I gave yours too. I wish I were there. I wish you really knew how much I really love you. You are my angel, my princess."
I drop the phone down next to me, and there it begins all over again. I feel as they choke me and suffocate the air from my lungs. One would think by now that I would have cried myself dry, but they just keep on coming; there is no end to this pain.
… Jenna's POV…
I am breaking Tyler's heart. I am not going to say I'm not doing it on purpose cause I am. The harder I push him away, the better it is for him and for me. He will get over the hurt one day.
He is a man with a good heart. He cares completely and loves deeply. He gives you his all, and he stays loyal by your side. He is a great friend to have and an even better boyfriend than one can ever ask for.
I got a text from Sandra very early this morning. He said that Tyler is frantically looking for me; he has gone all over to where he thinks I can possibly be. I want him to stop looking. I don't want to be found. This is not how this plan is supposed to work.
So I decided to message him.
"Tyler, please don't make this any harder on yourself. Please stop looking for me."
"Jenna, please tell me where you are. I refuse to stop. I will keep on looking."
"Please, Tyler, let me go. Don't ruin your life."
"Can I be the judge what is good for me? If I want to ruin my future, so let it be. I would rather ruin myself than have regrets."
"Please, I beg you."
"No, Jenna. I will not give up. I will find you. You can do whatever you want, but I won't stop."
"Tyler, I don't love you. Please don't waste your time with me. I would never feel the same way you feel about me."
"You are lying. Don't do this. I want you to stop lying to me. This is not you. You are not this type of person. Just stop doing all of this. Love can not just end this way. You don't just wake up one morning and decide you don't love someone anymore."
I do not answer him. I burst out into tears. I have never lied to Tyler, but all I do is kill him with one lie after the other. He will not give up; he won't stop
I drop down onto the couch and scream at the top of my lungs; my voice echoes through the house. There are even birds that scatter outside from the noise.
I feel so hopeless; I really thought that Tyler would just back off, that he respected my decisions not to be found. Why is he such a stubborn man? Guess that is one of the things that made me fall in love with him. He never gives up, no matter what. I was foolish to believe that he will just let go. Yes, you do not wake up one day feeling that you don't love somebody anymore. In fact, you wake up and realize that you loved them even more than you thought you did.
I decide to phone my sister. So once my tears and racing heart have calmed down, I dial her number, and she almost immediately picks up.
"Hey, Sandra."
"Hey, Jenna. It's so nice to hear from you."
"Have you heard from Tyler?"
"No."
"Oh, Sandra. This can't turn out any worse."
"What is going on?"
"I want him to leave and never look back, but he does not want to listen."
"Jenna, don't do this to him. That man loves you. You are selfish. You think you are doing him good, but you are not."
"You are right."
As soon as I drop my call, I get the courage together to send him a message.
"Tyler I..."
