Chapter 30: Me or Daniel?

Kaitlyn

Not knowing what you feel for someone can literally kill you and them both. I was standing there only, even after ten minutes. I didn’t know if hurting him was worth it.

All I knew was that I hurt him badly. I shouldn’t have said it when I didn’t know it. I don’t think I hate him. If I did, then I wouldn’t be crying here. But I said it. I said it to him and he told me I am free to leave.

It feels bad now. I feel unwanted. 

I slowly started going to my bed. I should have been a better person. but I don’t know what is right. Maybe I should have behaved in a better manner with him but how can I? he… He has hurt me so much and giving him another chance so easily seems… childish and naive.

I decided to just go on with what I was doing. I was on the right track and he didn’t deserve to be forgiven so easily.

I sat on my bed and finally laid down. I wiped my tears off. I need to be strong to do the right thing.

I got up the next morning and yawned. It was 8 AM. I was kinda late. Maybe because I slept late yesterday. 

I went to the bathroom and took a bath. I came out and combed my hair. After everything was done, I took all of my stuff which was left and put it in the luggage too.

I took the luggage and started going down.

As I went downstairs, I saw that he was sitting in the living room. He looked at me and at the luggage. Then he looked down at his feet. 

I didn’t say anything and kept moving until I reached the gate. I don’t know what I wanted. Somewhere I wanted him to stop me, and somewhere I wanted him to not stop me because it will make things difficult and I have to leave anyway.

I waited for a few seconds and then opened the door.

“Kaitlyn” I heard him. my heartbeat raced and I turned around. He was looking at me.

“yeah?” I asked him.

“Just don’t hate me. That’s all”

“Hm” I replied. “Maybe I don’t” 

It was in me that I wanted him to know that I don’t hate him. No matter what he did, he should know the real feelings I have in my heart.

“That’s… good”

“Hm yeah”

he nodded and I turned around. I was feeling light after telling him that. It means somewhere in me, it was killing me that I lied to him about my feelings. But now I feel so much better.

I proceeded out of the house and closed the door behind me. He was just looking down at his feet.

I started walking slowly slowly. I already called a doctor yesterday and he would come today itself to him and stay. He will be there for him whenever he feels sick till he gets completely well. That is the least and the most I could have done after he risked his life for me.

There are certain things that you can never be sure of.

Like why he risked his life for me.

I hoped it was because he realised his mistake but now I know that it doesn’t matter because I don’t believe him.

I kept moving. I had booked a nearby hotel because I had no place to stay, afterall Chris disowned me. I have no family.

As I was reaching the hotel, a car stopped in front of me. I looked at the car and tried to see who was inside.

The door opened and I was shocked to see the person.

Chris?

“Kate” he whispered and came to me. He touched my shoulder. “Why are you here? With your luggage?”

I scoffed. Why is he acting like he acres? He literally left me to die!

I got away from his hand. “Stay away, Mr. Chris”

“W-What happened, Kate. I am--”

“You are Mr. Chris Adams and that is the first and last thing you mean to me” I looked in his eyes. “And being Sullivans, I have a grudge against you”

“Kaitlyn, you should--”

“Please call me Mrs. Sullivan because I expect respect” 

“kaitlyn. You are Kaitlyn and to me you will always be--”

“be what!? You fucking disowned me, Chris!” I almost yelled, grabbing the attention of many people on the road. “You left me to die”

“No… no, I didn’t-- I--”

“Shut up Chris” I appointed my finger at him. “Man up and accept what you did, Mr. Adams”

“Kate--”

“Call me that again and I will complain”

“Uh, please…” he looked at me. “Listen to me--”

“I won’t Mr. Adams and you should--”

“Stop calling me that! I am your brother--”

“You are not my fucking brother!” I interrupted. “Get the hell away now!”

“Those papers mean nothing to me!”

“Doesn’t matter!”

“So you would rather choose Daniel than me?” he asked me. I looked around. There was media by now. I knew if I said Daniel, he would know. But if I said Chris, it would be worse.

“Yes” 

“Fine” he went back to his car and the lights continued flashing all over us. I went to the hotel.
