Love Struckk 2: The Reunion

This is the sequel to Love Struckk. Being in another country has scarred the bond Quinn and Rashel share. Has Hunter successfully broken up Quinn and Rashel?

Prologue

She sits and looks out of her window dreamily.

She should be studying, but she can't. Her mind wanders as the tears fall. The sound of the rain eases her into a state of calm, all she can do it reflect on the past and the present. What she had before and what she hasn't got now.

She knows the language, the people and the places but there is something missing. She's in a place where she fits in, no Megan or Hayden types, a place she feels at home. But he's not there. The one person she feels alive and at home with is miles away. There is no way of touching him, holding him or kissing him.

She's been lucky that she's met supportive friends; Jacqueline the outgoing one and Aurora the sensitive one, Claude the quirky one and Francis the positive one. But there will always be the void; a big hole expanding every second into her heart, torturing her soul. Her soul mate isn't here. They make her laugh when she is with them but when she is alone the silent crying begins.

Three years on, she's still heartbroken.

Every day is a constant battle. She keeps herself busy job after job to help with the student loans...or to keep her mind of him. A Cafe, a library or a clothes shop – she's done it all but nothing stuck.

She wakes up earlier than everyone else to speak to him. When they do speak her heart flutters and she's excited. But it's not the same when she puts the phone down.

It wouldn't be so bad if she was able to go and see him, she should have the money to travel, but Hunter lied. He didn't give Ewan a big pay rise. He's earning less. Everyone has to pitch in. Hunter threw the Matthews family into the river and expected them to drown. They just about cope with the rent every month, Ewan works life a slave gets no reward. Why is it her that Hunter hates so much? Three years on, she still hasn't seen Quinn.

What is worse is that she hasn't spoken to him in a year.

So when she reflects looking at the passing cars, the flashing lights in the dark, she thinks she could be anywhere. Being anywhere and everywhere with him is all she needs in life. She'd rather think of the positives, when she was certain that he loved her and she loved him. But this year changed. They changed. They grew up and adapted to the change, slowly, but it they were evolving to the idea of being apart no matter how painful.

She couldn't think of what went wrong. The phone calls stopped. And if she did call his house the person on the end of the phone would tell her than he was out. Out and about for a year?

The letters, instant messaging or emails ended. She couldn't think why. Was it something that she'd done?

--

He likes to read them over and over and over again. Her letters, written or typed by her hand. He sniffs them to get her scent and to pretend that she's there with him.

When he reads he starts from the first ones to the most recent ones. The closer to the final letters he gets, he holds his heads in shame and fights the anger and tears. He knows why he can't contact her, but she doesn't.

But that time will end.

He loves to know what she is up to, how she is coping; it makes him happy that she is not considering suicide...

Quinn,

I've got another new job...it's in a cafe. The last job didn't work out because...well my temper got the better of me. I'm the waitress now- I hated it at first, but you get used to it. The guy I work for- Louis- speaks no English, so I'm like a god send. I can help and support the tourists to learn the language as well as showing them the area. Louis also takes care me, he's the one that holds me back before I snap at a rude customer.

University is good as usual, apart from the jerks who still ask me out. It's nice to know 'I've still got it.' But I always tell them that I'm unavailable. Vanessa and Aurora say hello – I know you don't know them, but I think that they know a bit too much about you.

What's going on with you?

I love you...

Then he would get more anxious letters that left him shaky. He could hear the pain in her voice and it pained him too...

Quinn,

I wish you could come down to see me, and I wish I could come and see you, but the circumstances changed, and things aren't making much sense. You've stopped calling me, emailing me, or writing letters to me, and it makes me think that you've forgotten me...But it's okay, because I will always love you...I know that after our last discussion I was mad at you, but I didn't expect this? It's been a year john. I've sent you 3 emails and two letters every other month just to let you know I'm still very much in love with you. I'm not angry and more....

Remember that I love you...

And then there was this letter that he just couldn't out down...

Quinn,

Pick up your phone so I can talk to you. Please. 12 months John, and nothing. Nothing! Do I really mean that little to you? I don't care about what happened with you and Megan anymore. Do you not love me anymore is this why you have been avoiding me? Do you really not care about me and what we have together – or what we 'had' together?

I tell you all these things about how I am moving on and trying to adapt. I promise you Quinn, I'm not finding it easy. I may be able to speak the language fluently now, but that does not mean I'm happy. I may have made new friends, but that does not mean I've stopped loving you at all. I have not forgotten you and I never will for the rest of my life...

I am pissed at you, but even still, I can't wait to see you so I can see you and be with I want us to be together again.

Why are you making that so hard?

Please, just call me...

He'd read that letter so many times he could recite them word for word by memory. But he knew there was no way of contacting her, not from where he was. Not if your father was his father. No privileges. You are one in a hundred who are treated like scum.

He looks out of the window at the rain and counts the days, the hours, minutes and seconds till he leaves and could finally be with her. He's only there because of Megan, and for that karma will get her back.

His room is cell full of people he doesn't like. Daily drills and workout to improve him as a person. He's not where he was with her.

He's in Egypt; it makes him even more determined to be with her. Good behaviour and he gets out of this hell early.

No one will stop him from seeing her, well, apart from his cell walls.

Prologue done! Yay!
