Chapter 33: Chris and His Sister

Chris

I was sad, hurt, lonely, angry and frustrated. I didn’t know what to feel. I know it is my fault. I was the one to do her wrong, and that’s why she hates me now.

But I didn’t do it on purpose…

I sighed. I can never get my sister back and this is for sure. I just drove back to my apartment. 

Recently, I have been keeping up well with my business. I don’t talk much to anyone, including Avril because it all seems weird. I mean, she of course knows something is up and I don’t want to answer any of her questions.

Maybe I just don’t wanna take responsibility for what I did. 

I was gonna go to the company, but now I think I will just have a rest. I didn’t have the courage to meet Kaitlyn, but when I saw her there with the luggage, I was confused and so I decided to meet her but it wasn’t a good idea…

My security made sure that the media didn’t give me a headache and I reached my house. I can't even imagine what it might be like, for Kaitlyn.

She says she hates Adams.

I don’t know, but it kind of hits hard after everything. I was never that good to her, but we liked each other. I think that maybe I should have been better.

But that doesn’t matter. She hates me now. I have to do something.

I gave a call to Daniel even after the shit he’s done.

“Hello?” I spoke. “Okay, before you threaten me--”

“Chris” his voice was rather weak. “I am not gonna threaten you”

“Uh what?” I asked him.

“I know how much of a dick I have been till now, but can we just forget it or maybe you can just hate me too and well… uh, just tell me why you called?”

I was in deep thoughts. hate me ‘too’? Does Kaitlyn hate him?

But by that voice message back then and after everything they have been through, I thought they have become real lovers. 

The way she hated me, the way he risked his life for her, and the way she shot someone because of him, I was pretty sure they were going along well.

“Too?” I asked him. “Does Kaitlyn hate you?”

“Well… she doesn’t hate me, but yeah, we aren’t good”

“Oh…” I sighed. “Why?”

“Doesn't matter. just tell me, why did you call me?”

“Uh I was just saying that… is there a way… I can make things right with Kaitlyn? I mean, honestly I called you to make a deal. Like, give you what you want in exchange of you asking her to forgive me… but seems like you are sad too”

“Yeah, I am but…” he sighed. “I will help you”

“really? How?” My face lit up in hope.

“I will talk to her, okay? I mean, maybe she won’t listen to me, but I can at least try…”

“That would be so good”

“Hm. I am sorry for what I did, Chris”

“uh yeah okay”

The call ended and it felt as if he was really sorry. He sounded so weak and calm, there was no dominance in his voice.

However I don’t know why Kaitlyn will choose Daniel if they are not together. I mean, it doesn’t look like Daniel broke up with her. It was definitely Kate…

I sighed and sat down. I should really be happy if he talks to her for me.

Daniel

I was sorry. I knew how much bad I did and I regret all of it now. I wish I could just turn back time but I can’t, so I just have to correct it now.

I stood up from my couch and went out in my car. I knew which hotel she was in, as I had seen her footage. 

I would have traced her anyway.

I went to her room and rang the doorbell.

“Come in,” she said. I smiled hearing her voice as tears formed in my eyes. I won’t be hearing that voice anymore. This is the last time, I suppose…

I opened the door and she looked at me. She was very shocked.

“Daniel!?”

“Hey…” I whispered. I know I could have just called her but this was one chance to meet her again. I had a good reason.

“Why are you here?” she looked to the other side, as if hiding her emotions. 

“Look at me, Kaitlyn” I asked her.

She slowly looked at me. “Why are you here?” she repeated. 

I went to her. “Look, I have to say something important”

“Say it fast”

“Chris… he… uh he wants to be forgiven… I mean… it wasn’t his fault… I had… I had kind of forced him to sign those papers… back then”

I was scared of her reaction. maybe she will hate me, maybe she will slap me. So, I closed my eyes. “Hm. Okay”

I was shocked and I looked at her, “Aren’t you mad at me? Don’t you hate me?”

“Why should I hate you or be mad at you? That isn’t relevant because” she looked to the side. “We won’t meet again”

“Uh…”

“Now, leave”

I got up, holding back my emotions. I hadn’t cried for two years. Why is this hurting me so much?

“yeah”

I turned around and walked out as I felt her gaze at me. I wish I knew what was in her mind, but she made it clear.

This is all we were.
