Only You

Chapter 14- Dakota

Trigger warning- contains some more of Rain's negative thoughts

After I storm out, I don't know where to head. I can't leave the hospital yet...

I end up going to one of their enclosed garden spaces & sitting on a bench... & crying...

I can't believe I trusted him... I thought... I could depend on him & that maybe... I loved him... But he's been lying to me all this time. How can I go on with this relationship without trust? How can I believe anything he says anymore?

I don't know how we can continue where we left off when he lied to me... But for some reason... I don't want him to leave either... I still find that... I care about him a lot...

I sigh. We should probably talk this over more... I really shouldn't have stormed out the way I did... You don't solve problems by yelling & running away... Especially when I was so mean to him... I yelled at him a lot... &... I don't know... Maybe we can start over? From the beginning? Being completely honest with each other this time? I don't know how I would ensure that, but it's worth a try... Strangely... I don't want to let him go...

I head back to my room, but find it completely empty, save a small handwritten note left behind on the nightstand beside my flowers. Rain is gone. I look at the note, trying to find some hint of where he went, but all I find is more sadness. More mistakes that I caused. The note says:

Dakota,

I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through. I know that isn't much coming from me, but I hope... someday you can learn to forgive me... Though I'd understand if you didn't... I never should have interfered in your life, I know that now. It was not my decision to make to decide whether or not you should enter into the world of the supernatural. That should be your choice alone. So if you ever want to get in touch with me... Hell, you probably don't want to ever again (not that I blame you), so I'll just leave you my secretary's number. In case you want to forget everything you've learned... I know a deity who can take those memories away, if you want... If it's too painful to remember me... Sincerest apologies again for burdening you.

Forever yours,

Rain

This chapter ends so sadly :(((. Hang in there, guys <3
