“You sure?” I asked just to be confirmed. “Yeah..”  Utterly bewildered by him, I couldn't ask anything as he cut the call. I didn’t get his demeanor, what happened to him?  I shook my head and told Jayden to go to a cafe to have a coffee. “I thought you wouldn’t come..” Jayden said. My mind is still stuck on that behavior of Ryan. “Rebecca?” Jayden called me again. Interrupting my thoughts,  “Yes?” I asked. "Nothing. Tell me about yourself? You seem changed.” He said.  I smiled and looked down, “Someone taught me that I shouldn’t hide myself anymore.” 

"Where's Rebecca?" I asked.  "With Xavier." Grandma said. She put her hand over my back and began to say,  "Ryan, I know things are difficult for you but it's the same for her. She has accepted you, she has offered herself to you. Don't you think you are being cruel?" I just lowered my head.  "None of us can change what happened in the past but we can change the future. You cannot be stuck in the past, try to fix what has broken rather than pushing it away." Grandma continued.  "Why don't you understand, I cannot forgive myself for what has happened. She kept on saying my love will take her life but I still pushed her past her limits." I said slightly stressed yet dolorous.  “Besides, Doctor Herd

None of us spoke another word after it as the time passed quickly and I went home even if I didn't want to.  "Where were you?"

A shiver went down my spine, I turned to look at him.  "Don't leave me, Ryan. Please." I said in a barely audible tone. "I won't stay in that room. Learn how to deal with your fears." He said firmly, which immerse

Ryan POV:- I have told so many harsh things to Rebecca, she is hurt. My words are breaking her heart, my whole being is giving her scars.  I am doing things to her which I never thought I would. I am deliberately pushing her away and being this cold to her hurt me.  I don't want to do it but I have no control over my senses and I am lost in the delusion that she can only be happy if she stays away from me.  “Doctor, I complied with your word but… my distances were only hurting her.” I said sadly. “I know, Rebecca told me. Ryan, I know taking the responsibility of an emotionally fragile person is extremely hard. I doubt you could do it.” He sighed. “There is a possibility,

An involuntary smile crept upon my lips when I read it. Getting some motivation on how to love from him. If Jayden loves someone, that person would be lucky. If I didn't give this to Rebecca, I would be unfair. I can feel the pain of his words. I put it in my pocket and went home. My heart skipped a beat as unnerving thoughts stirred my mind. I went home after two days, I hoped Rebecca would be alright.  I guess at that time, she must have thought about things… about us.  Now Jayden is gone, the only way to find liberation for Rebecca is.. divorce.  I shuddered when I thought about it. I swallowed hard and searched for Rebecca. “Where’s Rebecca? I told you to
