Stay with Me by Awesomekristii (e reader books .txt) 📗

“No, she didn’t call me. Neither did I. Fuck! I told you so many times, En, she wasn’t at fault. You had to tell her about Zelena and her finding out isn’t a bad thing.” I groaned, not knowing how to wrap my head around anything anymore.

“I’m grabbing the keys and looking in the streets. Even you do that and let me know.”

“Yes, I will.” I dropped the call, rushing out of the house. Connor was on his feet as soon as I was going into my car.

“What happened sir?” he was one of the drivers since my father's time and to whom I had given the responsibility to drive around Lilah.

I swallowed, “Lilah isn’t at home. I don’t know where is she. Did you drop her anywhere?”

“I did that in the morning when she wanted to visit you. I asked her if I had to stay but she said that she didn’t want me to wait for her and she maybe would be going back with you.”

Fuck! Fuck!

I closed my eyes, anxiety rising inside me in full force. I just hope she was safe, wherever she was. I was willing to apologize to her as many times as needed, as long as she was safe and sound and close to me. “Thanks, Connor.”

I ignited the engine and drove away on the road.

••••••••••

It was past night, and I couldn’t find her. Steven called me twice and even his answer was disappointing. Where could she go? Her clothes were still in my closet. Her guitar and all her books.

Did she leave away everything and went somewhere?

I couldn’t stop the pain inside me at the mere thought of that. I couldn’t lose her. Not when she was everything I had ever wanted. I run my hand through my hair, looked out of the car window, and found the street cold and empty. Except for the usual passers-by.

Where could she be?

I had driven through the entire street in our locality, the malls, and even the downtown, but couldn’t find her.

Maybe I looked like a mess, but I didn’t bother when I stood out of the car and asked so many people about her, showing her picture. Her phone was switched off, and I couldn’t even look for her location.

But everything is in vain.

By the time I was on the road again, I had almost lost my any hope. The loud sound of crashing waves hit my ears, and I knew I was near the beach. I didn’t know what clicked inside me but something… something told me she might be here.

The loud sound of the waves crashing on the shore numbed the loud beating of my heart. How I didn’t think of this place when I knew this was one of her favorite places. My mind envisioned the past, the first time I brought her here, the time we kissed on the sand, we laughed so carefreely, we splashed water at each other. But I ruined everything.

My fear, my delusional belief in protecting my sister's life story, and my wrong notion that Lilah, would ever judge her and have any adverse opinion. How big fool I was? I let my fear, and insecurity drive me more, blinding all my sanity.

When in reality, it should have been me who should have told about myself to her sooner. She deserved that when she had confided in me about all her past. I felt like a loser and a fucker. But despite that, I was willing to try for her. To be better, to be someone not living in the past. To be someone worthy of her. And her love.

I didn’t take more than a second to jump out of the car and run on the sand towards the sea beach. The cold sand brushed past my feet as I ran looking all around. The flickering light from the small stalls and the moonlight helped me to look around.

Please be here. Please be here.

I walked further more nearing the shore when I saw a familiar figure at a distance. She was sitting too close to the water, almost drowning her legs in them.

It didn’t take me long to rush onto the sand and reach her. From the back, I could see the familiar honey color of her hair, the same bag she loved to carry everywhere, and the same yellow scarf.

My heart thudded hard against my chest, as I called for her.

“Lilah…”
