Chapter 39

Melissa sniffed the air ,because of all the

laughter and crying at the same time. I

turned to look at Jake, but he didn't look me

in the eye. I understood where he was

coming from...he had tears at the corners

of his eyes, he avoided my gaze as much as

possible. I turned my attention to Melissa

who is still crying because of her late mom.

It must be really painful especially remembering all the good times they spent

together.

I used that promise to my advantage, he

promised to take care and protect me, that

was my mom's last wish. And sir Jake has

been complyıng since then.

I'm sorry maam, I'm leaving this house, you can be at peace now. I will never be a bother to you now.

But..but where will you go? Aurora swallowed the lump in her throat scared of what she might hear.

I'm going to College Ma'am,I will be staying

at the hostel. Aurora let out a sigh, relieved

from what she heard.

Sir really is a nice person, I shouldn't have

tried to come between you two. You two

deserve each other. I will take my leave now.

Melissa,Ronald is outside he will take you

to Juilliard. Thank you sir. "It okay " "Bye

take care, make sure to make your mom

proud. "Yes I will.

The room was dead silent. They both stared

at each other. Jake could clearly see how

sorry Aurora was. Aurora could only see

disappointment in Jake's eyes.They longed

for each other, the past few hours had been

torture for them.

...uh...uh.I'm leaving. "Why? Jake narrowed his gaze at her. "Cause I want to. "Won't

you apologize or say something? "Why

should I? I was jealous and heart broken, just

put yourself in my shoes. Do you know how

I felt whenI saw her embracing and kissing

your shirt? Her words, her insults..I just

couldn't stand the pain, that girl made me

loose my sanity and dignity as an

independent woman.

I understand and get you, but you could

have trusted me. I have never asked you

anything, you could have just given me your

trust that is all I want.

I will ask Bruce to come over to take you

home, you are too weak to drive. "...uh..

uh. "You it okay if you don't want to

apologize. I will get your car ready. Uhm..

Wait. "Yes" "It okay you can get the car

ready. she bowed her head in shame and

turned to the other side of the room crying.

Jake turned her around immediately and

wiped her tears, you know I can't stand it

when you cry Aurora embraced him tightly.

I love you Jake, please don't leave me I

thought you didn't love me and I was only a

burden to you. Please forgive me. "Hey please don't say that you are never a burden to me.

I don't love you Aurora. She looked at him

surprised. I adore you, you are my world, my

everything, what I feel for you can't be

expressed in words.
