Author's Note: Uh-oh. Vincent found something very important. Will it risk his and Laura's relationship?
Chapter 71Vincent was waiting for Laura the time that she came back from work.
It was a little later than usual and while Donna and Ariadne were out and doing some clothes shopping Vincent had nervously prepared what he was about to say when Laura returned.
So he sat on the couch in silence and waited.
Soon, he heard the key turn in the doorway and saw her walk in holding her small bag of things.
"Hey, Vincent," Laura said turning around to lock the door. "Gosh, it's cold out there. I don't know but I think we're still in winter or something. Sorry I was out late but I and Sean went over a few last minute things for Phantom."
She turned around to see Vincent just gazing up at her.
"Vincent, forgive me if I sound like your mother but you've look just like you've seen a ghost."
"We need to talk," he said nervously giving her some room on the sofa.
Putting a loose strand of hair from her pony tail behind her ear and leg of her glasses she said, "Alright. What about?"
"Us."
"Excuse me?" Laura tried to say calmly but was shocked when her expression sounded more like horrified which was kind of what she really felt inside.
"I didn't mean to read it…but I did."
"Read what?" Laura asked clueless.
"Your diary."
Oh no, Laura thought to herself. She had left in between her green folder for hiding in case anyone would have found it.
"You read my diary?" Laura said startled.
"It was in a normal notebook. I thought that it was just another one for your current works and all…"
"You read my diary," Laura stammered.
"Yes."
"How much?" she asked looking away.
"All of it," Vincent said.
Laura had a tear roll down her eyes and her cheek and Vincent noticed. He tried to move closer to her but she just moved away saddened by what she feared. Their trust.
"I didn't mean to and I know that it was wrong…"
"I trusted you Vincent," she said.
"I know and I'm so sorry…"
She then stood up in an almost state of shock as Vincent then seemed to go after her but she just gather her things silently and said, "Don't follow me Vincent."
"Laura…"
"Don't follow me!" she warned in a toner she was aware was too harsh.
Knowing that Vincent had crossed the line, he retreated and said, "I'm sorry."
In tears she just turned away and went to her room and closed her door.
It wasn't meant to be like this.
