Just Kiss The Girl
1) Let Her Go
Hayley sauntered down the dark street, her coat flaring behind her; body tensed and her heart was clenching. She couldn't help it, she just couldn't. She struggled to retain her confident posture. The pain was excruciating.
"Why?" She demanded to herself."Why?"
"You walked away from him."
"You don't need anyone!"
"Why are you hurt?"
"Pull yourself together Hayley." She then spoke out loud. Though her voice cracked and drops fell from her eyes.
She kept her face front, fighting the urge to turn around.
"I can do this." she told herself.
She'd done enough crying for today. She wiped the droplets with the back of her hand and took deep breaths. She then clenched her teeth and blocked out the awful sensation. She felt as if something was tearing up inside her.
Hayley clutched her bump and hardened herself.
"I must stay strong for the baby." she thought.
Behind her Elijah stood physically unmoved; his eyes transfixed on the image of Hayley storming away from him, her figure diminishing into the darkness.
As much as he tired, he could not break his gaze. He was hooked and she was walking away. It felt like she was tugging away part of him with her.
After a while he swallowed, feeling a large lump in this throat. Gradually the realisation swarmed him; wrapping him entirely.
"I can't have." He breathed, fear in his exhale.
A sudden overwhelming sense flooded through his mind and soul.
He shook his head adamantly brushing off the thought; yet the image of her walking away continued to replay inside his mind.
It stabbed him repeatedly.
Elijah held both hands over his head as if forcibly trying to remove the memory.
Thoughts tittered inside his mind.
"What have I done?"
"What is this?" he asked him almost angrily.
The questions irritated him and he grew even angrier.
His teeth clenched.
He did not wish to face it.
Thus, he pushed it all away drawing back from every emotion and then stood tall.
He found his composure and breathed the cold air quietly.
Elijah told himself it was all okay. It was all fine.
And then after a second...
He was gone.
