~ Chapter 49 ~
The lamp by the corner is flung to the floor as Scott switches to full rage. I have tears rolling down my eyes as I do nothing to stop him from destroying the house. The front door swings opened and in walks Carter. He goes straight for Scott, pulling his shirt and shaking him.
"Scott! Stop this shit now!"
Scott's eyes meet mine and they are redder than I've ever seen them. He's also crying and my heart breaks into a million pieces as he walks out the door, silent but with a hidden promise that it's over. It's all over. I want this. It's good for us to be apart this is best.
Carter rushes to hug his weeping wife and I cling to the door frame to stop my body from slumping to the floor. I made the right decision. I keep telling myself.
What Scott did cannot be forgiven. He has to learn his lesson. I can't keep pampering him and making him feel that everything is alright.

David was of much help to Rose as he moved round the cafe in a cute red apron. He looked like an original server. Someone born to be in a cafe but we all know he's an English master not a barrister."When do you start work?" Rose asks me.I set the empty tray I was holding in my hand, down so I could seat too. My feet was aching from moving about. I wonder how David is still doing it."After the Christmas break" I say and Rose squint."Isn't after Christmas your next semester?""Yeah but there's a two weeks break so in that period, I'm a teacher to young kids" I shrug with a laugh."Thankfully, no more Scott to crash it" Rose chuckled and I'm mute."Yeah"Rose shakes her head for some minutes. "I can't believe it. You both are done! It's unreal because I've heard you say that like three- two times" She swings her hand in the air as she tal

On reaching my car, I shut the door, enclosing myself in the little space and there I felt my insides tearing apart. He's willing to make this right but that does not guarantee that he wouldn't make another mistake and fuck us up again. I place my hand on the wheel, relaxing my head against the head of my chair and allowed myself to cry.I need this break away from him to think right. I need to know that I can actually do without Scott. I need to feel like my life isn't dependent on him now. We need this space. Why are you calling it space? I thought you both were over! The shrill of my phone echoing through the car made me pick it up, staring at the screen. David's name flash on it so I swipe."Hey! Not done yet? I was getting worried about you" David rants on the phone."Were you scared I had ran myself into a truck?" I chuckle and hear him sigh out."Probably, but I was worri

We were both quiet, staring at each other until I decided to break the silence."Hi" was the dumb thing I said and he chuckled."Good day Mrs Banks" He greeted my mom first without replying my awkward attempt at a talk. Mom took the discussion up looking so cheerful to see him."I heard you got into college" Nolan finally says to me with a smile."Really, Nolan? That was like over a year ago."He shrug. "Just prompting up" He replied with a grin."I'll go pick some more hot sauce" Mom said excusing herself and I'm left to wander where she'd get that cause we're in a clothe shop. Super mom."My mom told me you were back. I've wanted to come visit but I wasn't sure you wanted to see me" Nolan confess."Good thinking". I wasn't even in the mood to see anyone anyway. It's better we met like this than for him to come into my house and see me looking shabby and sorrowful."You look great. New York really is a nice place for you""Is it?"If only he knows the things I've gone through under th

Scott POVMy life has fallen back into a constant map of drinking, sleeping and eating. Even though I and Stormy has separated some few times, this time doesn't feel like last times. It feels surreal. Like she's never coming back to me. I'm not sure what I can do to get her back. I could try but it'd only be a waste of time. I could see the hurt and pain in her eyes as she left from here the other day my therapist was around.That last look broke me. I shouldn't have looked at her. It told so much and it cast a whole lot of guilt on my shoulders. Guilt, pain, fuck! Everything hurtful. I tried to call her but her voice would echo in my head."Don't crowd me I need space" it stopped me every single time from calling her. I can understand the fact that she needs some time to think but I'm afraid she'd finally realise I'm not good for her and she's wasted her time on me.I'm

My mom threw her arms around my neck kissing all over my face so I pulled her away, with a grunt and a frown."What's wrong with all of you?""You almost never come home so don't complain" Val giggled. I notice her following me up to my room and I thought she'd leave once I enter but she followed me, shutting the door."Have you heard from Storm?" She questions. Of course that's who she wants to talk about. I drop my bag on the bed and sat down, taking my boots off."No""Really?""Yeah"She rolled her eyes clearly frustrated with my short answers."What happened. Tell me" She came to seat by me on the bed and I would've shooed her away because I can, but I really need someone to talk to. Maybe Val could help me."She found out about Anna" I state and Val covers her mouth with her palm. "David and Anna are both her frie

Her phone doesn't ring at first but I try again. She doesn't pick. Is this she avoiding me or something is wrong. I grab my car keys from my drawer, walking out of my room. Val is following me, with questions written all over her face. Ones I'm not willing to answer right now."Are you driving back to New York right now?" Val yelled from behind me. I swirl around just so I could unlock my car and throw my bag in, but Val was standing in front of me already."Move" I demand and she doesn't, just stood firm."This is no longer about dad is it?" She questions. What does it even matter? I walk pass her and slide my door opened, slipping in. "Scott, answer me"I bang my door shut, driving away from the lot immediately before Val could even think of getting into the car. She's done it before, and she would do it again.As I drive with my phone in hand, I keep tapping it against the steering whee

I grab Scott by his coat, pulling him into the room I was admitted in. There, we can have some privacy."What are you doing here?""I came because I...I miss you" he mutter but it doesn't last, his voice raising again. "We've only been apart for roughly a week and you're already with your ex?""His name is Nolan""I don't give three fucks about what he's called. Why is he even here?"I stare at the door hoping no one comes in right now. "He's the one that brought me to the hospital""Because he got you drunk!" Scott snapped. "What if he took advantage of you"I appreciate him trying to look out for me, but I've known Nolan almost all my whole life and he wouldn't do such a thing to me. I got drunk on my own, it was my mistake but right now, Scott was looking at me as if he would rush out and strangle Nolan any minute. I held into his jacket, tight.
Chasing Storm ~ Chapter 57 ~
Scott is by my side when I wake up. He had his eyes set on me and I'm wondering how long he's been like that. His hand takes mine in his, in a grasp."How did you sleep?""Good""Good morning" He leaned down to press a kiss to my lips. "the nurse was in here earlier. She did some few check ups and you're discharged""Oh... that's good" I seat up with his help until I rest my head on his chest."Storm. Can we talk? Like really talk?""Sure" I look into his eyes to see relief. A day ago and I wasn't willing to hear whatever he had to say. The door opened and mom came in, a smile all-over her face. I'm sure she saw how close we were but didn't mind it as she pulled me into her arms."Oh baby...never scare me like that again ok?""Yes mom"She turns to Scott who still hasn't taken his eyes off of me and I'm glad for that.
