Chapter 89

Billie: "Hi, Charlie... I don't really know what to say.I don't really know if you can hear me either... And probably I'm the last person you want to see right now.Evelyn called me.She told me what happened to you and... and that Adie needs help.I want you to know that I am sincerely sorry about what happened to you.Nobody deserves that!! Even if we didn't understand each other in the past, I want you to know that I'm grateful.We did fight because we both love the same woman.You did take good care of my... our Adie for 12 years.You were there for her when I left her alone.Even if I don't really know you... I know that you have to be a very good person.Adie is not a naive girl.She is a self confident woman!! Thank you for always being there for her... and even protecting her from myself..." I stared at him, feeling a little self conscious.He didn't move... I just heard him breathe heavily. "And I... I wanted to apologize to you... for the past 2 years I've been just terrible to everyone around me.Every day I was talking shit about you.I have never meant it that way, I was just jealous.I have never wanted anything bad to happen to you... because I know that it would break Adie's heart if you suffered.She loves you!! I regret it... But today I know that Adie had to go her way.And you were the right choice. You could offer her a good life, a life that would never have been possible with me... I will do everything to find out if you can be cured. I can't stand the thought of seeing Adie suffer..." I noticed how my eyes fought back tears. Even for me it was painful to see him like that, how must Adie feel? I wiped the tears from my cheek and tried to catch myself, "sorry..." I mumbled. "I don't know how to talk to Adie. How should I explain this? I can't hurt her!! But I understand why Eve called me. Adie has to understand it. Otherwise, she will never forgive herself. I promise that I will do my best and take care of her. I will never leave her alone again... even if she doesn't want me. For the last 2 years I have been able to let her go because I did knew that you would take good care of her. But you'll be gone soon... I looked up and saw that his eyes were open...
