Chapter 26

Anouk

We all started to go to our perspective rooms after spending quite time talking about talking and listening to grandma and grandpa. The more I hear their side story version I couldn't help but feel sorry for them for North's behavior towards them. They don't deserve this. I'm afraid about their health .

There is a huge misunderstanding between North and his grandparents. I have to clear this without wasting much time. I promised grandma that I would solve this issue. So this is my responsibility. I really hope North would give them a chance once he hear me.

Once I reached my room I checked my phone to see whether North called me at all. I was disappointed to see that there was none. No matter how much my brain screamed that North wanted more time my heart was hurt.I deserve an explanation . I wanted to be an understanding girlfriend this time and support him by giving more space. But my heart is yearning for North.

But I want to hear his voice to confirm that he was okay atleast for my sanity.

When I called him his phone was switched off. Before I could type a message , hand grabbed my phone from me. I looked up to see my mom was standing there with a sad face looking at me. She sat on the bed beside me queitly and handed me my phone.

"Give him some time sweety. He must be devastated. Right now he needs space more than anything " I nodded agreeing to her.

"I know but " My words cracked before I could finish . I burried my face on my mom's chest hugging her while trying to stop my sobs.

"Anouk, my love give him some space. We don't know what he learned while growing up . He looked quite shocked
when he saw them " I nodded again while she stroked my hair in a soothing manner.

"You should listen to his side of story first . But for that you should wait till he is ready to talk and tell you . Patience is really important in a relationship sweetheart . Be patience . I'm sure he will talk to you soon. Okay ?" I hummed . I understand that but stupid heart is worried about him.

" It's just this is the first time he is celebrating christmas after long time. He was so excited to celebrate it with us. All plans are destroyed . I'm worried about him. I just want know how he is and where he is " I mumbled against her warmth .

" Silly girl , he is a grown man . Even though he is angry he is not someone who does stupid things . You should know that than me. He will call you once he calm down and figure out everything . Just give sometime" Her words , warmth and wondering hand felt like heaven .

"I can't believe my little girl is grown up . I'm not ready to give you away yet. " Her soft voice became faint and faint the last thing what I heard was she saying how much she loves me before I slipped in to my dreamland still snuggled into her warmth.

It's January 02nd Today. 7 days since I last heard from North. I listened to my mom's advice and waited for him and there was nothing I could do anyway , other than waiting since his phone was switched off till now.

I was getting anxious and restless with the lack of response from North.

I couldn't shake away my gut feeling that something bad is going to happen .

I thought to call Drake and ask him what happened to North but denied that thought since Drake and Lyra are spending their first holiday in Maldives. I didn't want to bother them with our problems and ruin their anticipated holiday.

That's when I remembered Braxon. North gave me his number and told to call him if he was unreachable . Braxon is always with him and he should know about North's whereabouts .
