Falling For His Best Friend CHAPTER TEN-A SMALL BEGINNING
Elara’s POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I felt was warmth.It wasn’t from the blanket that was on my laps or the sunlight from the living room window but it was from him.My head was resting on Adrian’s shoulder with his arms around me lightly like he didn’t want me to fall away. His breathing was calm and peaceful. It felt unfamiliar to wake up next to someone who wasn’t angry, cold and disappointed toward me.I lifted my head slowly, trying not wake him, but his eyes opened the moment I moved.“You are awake?” he asked softly.“Yes”, I whispered.He sat up a little straighter whiles rubbing his face with his hand. His eyes looked sleepy and his hair was a bit messy and at that instant, I just wanted to pass my hand through his messy hair.“How long did I sleep?” I asked.“Something above three hours” he said.My body felt relieved but my heart still felt heavy. The weight of me aborting my baby for a man who later on betrayed me was so heavy that I couldn’t get rid of it after
Falling For His Best Friend CHAPTER NINE -A QUIET KINDNESS
Elara’s POVThe rest of the morning went by slowly. I tried to get some rest but my mind wouldn’t allow me. I couldn’t stop thinking and every time I closed my eyes, I saw Damien’s face, so cold and angry couldn’t get his disappointed voice in my head. My chest felt tight each time and I felt like I was living that painful moment all over again.So, I just laid on the bed starring at the ceiling and thinking about how my life had changed overnight. The house was peaceful and quiet. The kind of peace I wasn’t used to. The peace and silence felt strange after all the crying, shouting and the fear I had been through.I heard a soft knock on the door.“Elara?” It was Adrian’s voice speaking so quietly. “Can I come in?”“Yes, “I said quickly, pulling the blanket over my legs.He came in with a small brown paper bag. His eyes went straight to my face with worry.“I brought medicine “he said, putting the bag on the small table next to the bed.” And some fruit . I thought you might need some
Falling For His Best Friend CHAPTER EIGHT -MORNING AFTER
Elara’s POVThe warm light that came through the curtain and touched my face pulled me out of my sleep slowly. I had to blink a few times before my eyes could adjust to the intensity of the light from the curtain. For a moment, I didn’t know where I was. The bed felt usually soft, I couldn’t smell the disinfectant I was used to, the room was quiet and I couldn’t hear the loud footsteps of the nurses I hear every morning.Then I remembered everything.AdrianMy husband’s wordsHow I collapsed in Adrian’s armsAdrian carrying me into his houseAdrian reassuring me I was safe hereMy chest tightenedWhen I tried to sit up slowly, I felt a soft pain through my ribs. I winced and it reminded me of how fragile my body still was.The room was clean and calm. A small lamp on the bedside table with the walls painted with beige. The room felt warm. Nothing like the cold emptiness I came from.I looked toward the doorway and froze.Adrian was sitting there on the floor, leaning against the wall,
Falling For His Best Friend CHAPTER SEVEN -INTO THE QUIET
Elara’s POVAs we drove back to his house, I laid my head against the car window to allow the cool glass to lower the heat I felt on my skin. Adrian drove quietly with the car filled with a comfortable and protective silence as if he knew any word, he says would shatter my already broken self.I liked that he wasn’t trying to make conversations because I didn’t feel like talking to anyone at that moment I couldn’t recognize the image in the mirror, I looked very pale and my eyes looked bloodshot.I resembled someone who had barely survived a deadly war."Elara," Adrian replied finally, his voice low and careful. "Are you hurt anywhere ‘’? Everything hurt. My chest was hurting, my ribs were hurtingBut I shook my head. “Just tired.”He didn’t argue, but I saw how unconvinced he lookedThe drive wasn’t long, but it felt like we have used a decade to get to his house. When he turned into his driveway, I was familiar with his house because I have been there multiple times but this felt f
Falling For His Best Friend CHAPTER SIX -NOWHERE LEFT TO GO
The hallway looked longer and narrower like an endless tunnel but with this tunnel, I knew I wouldn’t see any light at the end it. The nurse shoes made soft noise against the tiles as she pushed my wheelchair further away from Damien’s room—away from the man who once held my heart, and who had now shattered it into pieces too small to gather.It was really hard for me to breathe since my chest felt so constricted. I couldn’t hold back my tears as it distorted the lights in the hallway. I tightly gripped my hands on my lap to keep them from shaking, but my energy was so little that my hands continued to shake. As my hands my hand trembled and my bones also quake, the little courage I had in me also began to waverHis voice still echoed through my head.You killed our child.I didn’t ask you to do it.Escort her out.Each word felt like a shape knife, slicing my heart repeatedly. Thinking about the warm and happy memories we once shared made it ten times painful and harder. I had given e
Falling For His Best Friend CHAPTER FIVE - Betrayed
Elara’s POVIt had been a long, foggy month. I awoke with a sore head, sore and heavy body. I heard machines beeping around me, blinking and humming on the otherwise silent room. I was slow of mind, and burdened with ache and fatigue. But one idea had pierced the fog: Damien."Damien..." I mumbled, even though my throat felt parched and dry.One of the nurses who were standing near my bed stooped down, her face gentle, yet grave. "He's awake," she said gently. “We will bring you there, but you will have to remain in the wheelchair in the meantime. You are still too weak since the operation.”I nodded, and my shaking legs had to obey. All I wanted even in my weakness was to see him. To make sure he was okay. To make sure he was alive.The wheelchair was rolling along the hospital corridor, turn and turn, step by step, step by step, closer and closer. My heart started to race, the familiar odor of the hospital enveloped me like a blanket of memories, no good just bad. And then I sa
