Love In The Dark

Chapter 26

ADELE'S POV

"Delly, Simon's downstairs..." Mum said, knocking on my door.

"Why is he here mum?" I responded while drying my hair.

"He didn't tell me darling, the poor man is waiting."

"Alright, I'll be down there." I released a deep breath and tightened the robe around my body.

I asked Simon some space for me to think about our relationship. Its been 3 months since we last saw each other.

Is that too much?

"Oh hello..." Simon greeted me as soon as he saw me took the last step from the stairs.

"Uhm, hi..." I sat down on the couch opposite to him.

"How are you?" He faintly smiled.

"I'm fine... and you?" I felt my cheeks blushed by hearing his deep voice.

"That's great... I'm doing fine too..." Simon took a sip from his tea.

"Can I know what brought you here?" I fidgeted my fingers while biting my lower lip.

Some part of me missed Simon...

"I just want you to know that Lance is finally put into jail and there's no way he can get out from that place."

"Oh thank you Simon... That wouldn't be made possible without you." My heart skips a beat when Simon reached for my hands. He held it tight and rubbed small circles at the back of my palms.

"Is there something wrong?" I half smiled, looking straight to his deep blue orbs.

"I'm leaving..." Simon said in an inaudible voice but I clearly heard that.

"What? When and where?" I asked kinda feeling terrified.

"To U.S, later at 3 pm... I just waited Lance to be put into jail. I don't want to leave you unsafe Del."

"W-why?" I said in an already cracked voice.

"I have nothing to do here in London anymore Adele. I guess it's time for me to... Move on and handle the responsibilities I left there." I saw how Simon's eyes watered despite of him faking a smile.

Tell him you still love him Adele! Tell Simon you need him!

"O-oh I see... Are you going to come back here?"

"I'm afraid no or if yes, maybe it will took me couple of years... Unless it's something so important..."

Shit! Stop being coward Adele!

"Well, I wish you all luck Simon and..."

Come on!

"...take care..." That's it. Warm tears surfaced my cheeks as well as Simon.

"T-thank you Adele, I'm going to miss you. I-I've got to go... Take care my love..." Simon wiped away my tears and left a kissed on my forehead.

I just nod my head and sniffed. I watched Simon walk towards my door, ready to leave everything about us behind.

He's right, he needs to move on. I made Simon wait long enough for him to decide for his own life.

Me? I think I cannot move on. I think I loved Simon so much. So much for me to forget the love we had.

As soon as I locked the doors in front of me, I slid down and regretted why I didn't made him stay.

There's many what ifs that are running on my mind now...

What if I told Simon I still love him?

What if I told Simon I'm ready to give our relationship a chance? A chance that could change or lives...

What if I told him I'm probably bearing our bundle of joy? What if it's Lance?

What if he stayed?

What if he's going to find someone like me?

Or worst...

What if I'll never love again?

***END***

A/N: I'm sorry for this forced ending. I'd rather end story than leave this undone. Sorry everyone, I keep on messing my books up... It's kinda frustrating when you have these crazy ideas but you cannot put them all together and write down because life keeps on testing you ugh. Anyways, I thank you all for supporting me all through out! Hoping I can get back to my old self. Love you! x
