EPILOGUE
Rebecca's pov
Day 14
The cold morning breeze blew my hair into different directions, relaxing my nerves and made me feel less sick.
The grip on my suitcase was a little bit tight as I stood Infront of the hotel I lodged last night, waiting for a taxi to take me to the airport.
This was the right thing to do... I wasn't okay last night... My mind wasn't settled and even now, my mind isn't settled... It's in different areas... Thinking different things.
Emeliano.
I left him last night... I failed him because I was too chicken to accept the truth... But I couldn't just move on with life after finding out that the woman I believed to be my mother, wasn't my mother? How can I move on when just yesterday, I found out that I had a brother? Half brother?!
It was too much for me to look pass.
All my life, I've been thrown into different situations, and I knew just how to handle myself... Even when being kidnapped... I knew how to control the situation.
But this- this case was different... My mind wasn't ready for the news... How I wish I didn't ask Emeliano... How I wish that I just stuck to the future and forget the past.
But no... I had to go ahead and push the Past into the future, ruining my life and Emeliano's life with it.
Finally a taxi stopped... I got in immediately, letting the driver put my suitcase in the boot of the car.
This was it... I'm leaving Orlando to God knows where... I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere... These past few days had been the best... I felt like I've finally found a home... A place worth settling for... How did it all turn so messed up in just few seconds?
The taxi began to move.
Leaving Emeliano was the hardest decision I've ever made in my life... I betrayed him... I promised him and I failed him... Will he ever forgive me for that? After he had told me that everyone in his life never stays, after the promise I made to him that I would never leave... I went ahead to betray him just like everyone else did.
It was wrong... I felt guilty... I shouldn't have blamed him for not telling me anything... I should have just explained to him that I needed the space... But this space I have now is doing nothing but to make me think the more!
Why didn't I just stay? He told me that we would settle it together.. he wanted to be there for me, but I pushed him away... I left him and I told him that he was selfish... But truth be told, I was the selfish one... I wanted to nurse my feelings, not stopping to think of what my actions would do to Emeliano's feelings.
Wait a minute! How could I just leave him like that? At this point of time- I don't think I should handle this alone... Nothing comes out of running away from your problems, it would only keep chasing you... But if you face it head on, you wouldn't have to run anymore...
Leaving Orlando would only make things worse for myself... I'd not be only hurting myself but I'd also be hurting Emeliano.
And all I ever want is for him to be happy.
"Leaving so soon?" The familiar voice resounded from the driver's side, my eyes shot up immediately to reveal to myself the Taxi driver who picked me up from the airport 14 days ago.
"You again? I didn't notice..." I said, unable to hide the surprise in my voice.
"You were in deep thoughts... I didn't think you'd be leaving so soon." The man smiled through the mirror.
"Yeah... Me neither." I muttered... Looking out the window to the busy streets of Orlando.
I was making a mistake... My whole body was screaming to me, my mind was yelling at me, urging me to go back to Emeliano... He needs me and I need him!
We need each other now more than ever, so why the hell am I breaking his heart and mine? What the hell is wrong with me?
I was jerked from my thoughts when the taxi began to jerk forward with force until we pulled to a stop.
"Still haven't fixed the problem?" I asked the driver.
He cocked a brow. "This is weird... This is the first time it's happening since the time I picked you up from the airport." He mused.
"Hmm... So, I make taxi's breakdown... Good to know." I Muttered, the driver smiled.
"I'll just go check it out." He said, getting down from the taxi.
I exhaled, letting out a harsh breath and looking out the window...
What in the-
We were Infront of the same flower shop! The same one from fourteen days ago.
A smile pulled at my lips as I got down from the taxi, walking straight to the flower shop... It all started here, my life with Emeliano... I can't believe it has been fourteen days already! I just can't!
"Would you like some flowers?" The little girl tugged at the hem of my gown.
I smiled down at her, if it hadn't been for this little girl, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to be kidnapped by Emeliano! How crazy is all this?
I crouched down to her level... "What's your name, Angel?"
Her brows furrowed in confusion. "How did you know my name?"
"What? I don't, I just asked you your name." I said in a playful kiddy voice.
"You just said my name." She smiled.
Oh... "Your name is, Angel?"
"Yes... Now would you like some flowers?"
"Of course... The red ones." I told her.
"The reds ones are my favorite... My dad always told me that if a boy gives a girl a red rose, that he truly loves her and that they would be bound together my fate and love... Isn't that amazing? It's like a.. a fairy tale. like Cinderella!" she giggled... Although her words were out of place.. but I was sure to make them sound more better to my ears.
