He Thought I Would Always Wait Novels & Stories

He also knew he had to be honest with his mother or she won’t ever let go. “Mum, I..am going to see Him..” Vienna was taken aback. When Schuyler saw her look, he pleaded, “Please mamma, I can’t wait anymore. It’s killing me to not see him. And ..and.. I have a feeling, he too is searching for me. Mum, say something.” Vienna was furious. She took a few breaths and calmed herself. She knew this would happen soon. But her reason for being angry was a different one today.

He sighed and he kept looking down. “So since you’re going to die soon, you got the guts to go to find me?” “Yeah.” He answered honestly and I scoffed disbelief. “I might hate you but I always waited for you to comeback.” I said honestly and he turned to me disbelief. “I always you to come to our door, even though I will punch the hell out of you first for hurting me and mom but I always waited for you to come home. After waiting all of these years, you never came.” I said looking at him straight to his face. He was speechless and I saw tears filling his eyes.

I had thought he had plans to travel and will never return. Going to the cinema with him is something I had thought will happen soon but it seems I was wrong. That won't be happening anymore and even if it will, that won't be anytime soon. I placed my hand on my neck as I felt a sharp pain. I must have slept in the wrong position. I sighed. The fact that I had to stay all night hoping he would show up, but he never did. And the fact that I waited for him in my room but he never saw the importance of talking to me.

Now that I stared at him closely again, I can say he became even more handsome and more mature than before. "Hahaha, your face was so funny back then! It's epic!" I said that made us both laugh again. Suddenly, his expression turned solemn and a little sad. "You know I'm still waiting for you every day but you never showed up again. I look like a fool while talking alone..." he said and my smile faded. He waits for me every day and I felt terrible for that. My chest tightened imagining the scene in my mind—him alone looking at the lake with a hopeful expression while waiting for my arrival. I felt awful.

He stood in front of me, held my face between his hands and stared down at me. I waited, once again, I did. For what? This time I didn't know. But the moment he spoke, I knew, the wait was over. "You waited." He said. I gasped. " You waited." He breathed.

"Yeah." I robbed my hands together, the question just at the tip of my tongue. Despite all the shit that had been going down lately, somewhere at the back of my mind i kept on recalling what he said to me that day. 'I will call you'. They were words of reassurance and i secretly had been waiting for that call but never got it. "I called" Just like he could read my mind and tell what i was thinking, he said. "What?" "I called, twice. Not reachable."

"Maybe we can meet up some other time…" I could hear him breathing, as if he was deep in thought about what he wanted to say next. "Any place choose is fine with me." A meetup? I swallowed and thought long and hard about my options. Maybe…maybe he wasn't as bad as his father and brother had been. "Can I think about it and let you know?" There was nothing to think about but I needed time to adjust to the bad decision I was sure about to make. "Will be waiting." And the line went dead, I bit my lower lip and almost drew blood. What was I doing? I looked at my phone before I turned to go back to the bedroom but instead, I bumped into something hard.

I had reminisced and imagined that scenario so many times, I could not wait for it to be a reality. Little did I know that the wait was going to be a little longer than I thought...

"I do not have any thoughts, I just want…" "I want to hear your thoughts," he said. "It doesn't matter," I said. "It does," He said. "I will tell you what I think whenever we meet again," I said, I waited for a reply and got a hum in response. "Thank you," I sighed.

I was no different, I wanted to say it as well, more than I could ever imagine. “Grace… I’ll be waiting for you at our happy place, please come to me at twelve o’clock, I’ll take it as a yes if you do.” he fixed his clothes and left glancing at me with ambiguity. I’ll doubt myself as well, if I were you. That scared look in his eyes, like he’ll lose his everything if I don’t come, it ruined me. How quickly he went from happy to sad just because waiting is for forever, you’ll wait not knowing when that person will come. You’ll wait without that person being aware of it. You’ll wait, just like me.
