Chapter 37: Someone Else

(Please note Paris time is 3 hours behind LA’s time. So 8 AM at Kaitlyn’s location will be 11 AM at Daniel’s/Chris’)

Chris

I was taken aback when I heard the news of her leaving Daniel alone and that Daniel confessed about his tortures to the media. I am sure he knows the drawbacks. I mean, he literally knows what will happen now!

I was frustrated by myself. Daniel just helped me, which makes me feel bad for what is happening. I am sad that she left, and that she doesn’t really take me as her brother and I am mad that Daniel has suddenly changed when the circumstances became bad.

I mean, I am happy that he changed but he changed when bad was gonna happen to him and it sucked. 

I kept a hand on my face and sighed loudly. It was night so I decided to take a nap.

The next day, I got up and decided to do something for Daniel. I know he has done so much worse and I promise I will never be able to forgive him, but I have to help him now.

I went out of my house and my people called the media. 

Time to go public.

I was with Kurt and he felt like a good guy. As I laid in bed last night, I was literally thinking about him. I don’t know. I don’t know why I was thinking about him. I love Daniel, right? I shouldn’t think about anyone else. 

but here he was, in my dreams. He was this perfect guy and I couldn’t help but fall for him which made it all much worse. I don’t really know what I feel.

I got out of the bed and checked the time. It was 8 AM. I ordered food. Somewhere in me, I wanted to go out so that I could see him. So after having breakfast, I got out and roamed around a bit, hoping for him to show up.

As I walked in the reception, I was so glad to see he came out of his room. He came to me. 

“Oh wow. Good morning, Mrs. Sullivan” I smiled sadly. Mrs. Sullivan. I am still his wife but I am thinking of someone else…

“Good morning, Mr. reynolds”

“Up for a walk again?” He raised his eyebrow.

“Yeah… morning walk”

“Sure, let’s go together”

I smiled. “yeah”

We went out and the walk went well. I really don’t know what I feel, and I don’t want him to jump to any conclusions because the heart really breaks and it hurts.

But I really like him… genuinely. 

I decided to give it a rest. I can’t do this now.

I walked with him and told him I have to go back after half an hour. We were back and I was in my hotel room, sorting my feelings out.

When I was thinking about everything that happened in the last few days, I jumped to a conclusion. 

What if I am over Daniel?

But that seemed stupid because no one can move on so fast. Like maybe he did hurt me, but what matters is that I loved him more than anything.

It was difficult letting him go. It was difficult seeing him sad.

I think this is just my thoughts. Maybe I just need someone right now so I am making excuses but I do know that I love Daniel only.

I shrugged my thoughts and decided to make a good distance from him, for both his and mine sake.

Daniel

My PTSD was kicking in. I couldn’t sleep. I was shivering with fear. All those traumatizing moments appeared out of nowhere.

But I had no one to run to, no one to hold on to. And that maybe itself is the reason I feel so vulnerable tonight.

It was 11 AM and I was still in my bed. I was scared. I was scared of every single thing. Those nightmares will never leave me alone.

I had only one person that I always trusted. She was my person. And now she is gone. I know inside that there is no one and that is why I am so weak.

I can not live without her.

I took a long breath. I finally take my medicines and have the situation under control.

For some period, Avril herself was my doctor, but recently she told me that she wasn’t so sure about me recovering, I hate negativity, of course who wouldn’t, so I changed doctors and I have a new one.

I know Kate never knew about my PTSD and she would have never. because she was my strength. She didn’t even have to do anything. Even if she was just around, I always felt so good by myself and I didn’t get all these nightmares.

But I am scared now.

I don’t think I can survive this alone. 

I need you Kate. or if you won’t come, I need someone else.
