Chapter 19
Chris' POV
I knew she was struggling to answer my question. I could almost see her brain working up an answer that would suffice me. I love Haley, I really really love her. But this…this was hurting me beyond words. I know she deserves to be loved and be happy, that's why I'm considering….
I'm considering of letting her go. Considering…not actually letting her go. I know it's selfish and yeah some people may call me a masochist but I'll love her even if it hurts me. I am willing to give up everything, even my pride. I'm not usually the type of person who'd beg to get something they want…..then again Haley was always an exception for me.
"I uh, I love you Chris."
Now that was a lie. I tried to smile but my throat was really dry. Haley was lying because she thought it would spare me from the hurt.
"Do you really?"
"Yes"
Her eyes were filled with emotions. I knew she loved me, just not the way I want her to. She still loves Nathan but was too insecure and afraid to be with him. She's convinced herself that I was the one holding her back but the truth was she was the one stopping her from loving Nathan.
"I love you too Hales."
Haley looked at up me, and I saw she was crying. Instinctively I reached out for her but stopped midway. My actions confused her, I was confused too. I love her yet I knew she'll never be truly happy with me.
"You're free. You're free from me. You don't have to lie anymore, you can be with Nathan. I'm letting you go."
