Maybe This Time

Chapter 25

Y/N's POV

I drive as fast as I could to get there. My adrenaline rush is at its peak and I'm worried about Olivia. I don't know how to face Vicky but I will think about that later.

I park my car in the garage of their house. I open the door of my car and run to the door. I already hear screams and sobs from the little girl. I rang the doorbell so they could open the door.

I was meet my worried Scarlett and a crying Olivia in her arms. "Y/N!" Olivia scream, I get her and soothe her back trying to calm her down. "I'm here now, little one. Y/N is here"

"Thank you, Y/N. I don't know what to do with her" Scarlett said. I sit on the couch and Olivia is still clinging to me. "What happen bubs?" I asked her, wiping down the trail of tears. "I- I have a nightmare and I don't feel well, Y/N," she said. I hug her tight, "im here bubs, it's just a nightmare. You can sleep now, I'll be here" I said to her, caressing her back to calm her down.

"How long she's been crying?" I asked Scarlett who's on my side. "Since she wakes up. She goes to my room crying and asking for you. I tell her you're at work. I cuddle with her then she cried again. I try to give her favorite foods but it's useless. This is the first time of the day she calmed down" Scarlett explained.

We both go to Olivia's bed to tuck her in. I wait for more minutes to make sure the little kid is in the deep slumber. I kissed her forehead and gaze at Scarlett, "if she wakes up and finds me, text me right away." I told her. We let the door slightly open. "Thank you again." She said. "Welcome. I need to go" I said and go back to my car. I saw her waving her hands, I smile and start the engine.

It's 10:40 pm already. Shit.

I drive my car fast but have not reached the speed limit. I'm nervous, I feel like my body going to fall. My heart beats rapidly.

I reached the front door of the house, I saw the kitchen light is still on. I gulp and take a deep breath before knocking.

No one opens the door. I knock again. I hold the doorknob and twist it, it's not locked. "Vicky?" I called her before entering the house.

I walked my feet to the kitchen and saw her drinking. "Vicky, im sorry something came up," I said and looked at her. She laughed bitterly and put the glass with alcohol down.

"Why did I even let you in my life? Why did I give you my heart and believe that you gonna love me like what you did to her?"

"Vicky you're drunk"

"And I don't fucking care! Drunk or not im going to tell you what I want to say!-"

"You promised me- you promised your willing to take a risk and love me- I hold on to that fucking promise you give me- because I trust you- that maybe this time someone gonna loves me like what I did to them- that maybe it's my time now to feel loved-"

She's crying and shouting at me. I deserve it. I deserve everything she's telling me.

"I thought you're not going to break my heart and leave me in the dark, Y/N-"

"Your sister is right-"

"What? Sarah goes here?" I asked.

"Yeah, last week when you didn't come home- she right, Y/N. I should listen to her warning but I didn't. I can't love you-"

"I can't love that person who's still in love with their past-"

"I can't love you because your heart still belongs to her-"

"I can't love you when your heart beats for her-"

I didn't notice that im crying when I feel it. She walks towards me and caresses my face. I leaned to her touch, sorry for what I did, for promising that I broke.

"But thank you- thank you for making me feel that things I didn't feel- thank you for loving me in a short time we had- thank you for everything you made me feel- that I deserve more and don't settle for a crap-"

"I'm sorry"

"Thank you for showing me the things I deserve- that im worth it and enough- thank you for teaching me the things I didn't know I need to learn- thank you for waking up my dying butterflies in my stomach- thank you for saving my dying heart- thank you, Y/N-"

"Thank you for looking me in the eyes with so much admiration- for boosting my confidence- for lighting up my world and feeling the adrenalin rush when im with you- thank you for the moments we had-

"I didn't know I could feel that way if you didn't show me- im still grateful for a month that we shared-"

I wipe down the tears from her eyes, I can't do anything but let her talk. I'm breaking apart by looking at how in pain that I put her through.

"I won't be bitter if she makes you happy- then im setting you free-"

"It's hard to let you go, you know that? That I already have the person who made me feel love and secure- that I already have the woman of my dreams right beside me but we're not meant to be"

"I love you enough to set you free"

"I'm so sorry, Vicky. This is the only thing I could say. I'm sorry for putting you in pain, sorry for making you cry, sorry for promising to you and breaking it. Sorry because I can't give back the love you give. Sorry for everything I did"

She weakly smiles at me, our forehead touched.

"Be happy- I didn't let you go for her to make you sad- but she did that, im here- im always here waiting for you to come back"

"I'll be fine. It's okay- I'll be okay"

"And I guess im just going to love you from afar- maybe in another life- probably there you're mine"

"Go. Go back to her"

"Vicky I can't leave you here"

"You already did. Now go. Because if you're not im not going to let you go"

"I'm happy that I meet you and sad for saying goodbye"

"This is not a goodbye, Vicky"

"I love you- you don't have to answer back because that three word belongs to her"

"'Till we met again, my moon. 'Till our paths crossed again-"

"Maybe in a different timeline, you're mine"

"Vicky..."

"It's fine. You can go"

I found myself crying inside my car, heartbroken for what just happened. I caused too much pain to her. I let her feel what I felt before, she didn't deserve it.

"YOU'RE SO FUCKING IDIOT, Y/N" I shout, crying my heart out.

"I'm so fucking stupid"

No one's POV

"Long time no see, my friend"

"What are you doing here? To mock me because im in jail while you're there living your life?"

"Do I look im mocking you?"

"What do you want?"

"I'm here because you need me and I need your skills"

"I don't need you"

"Oh yeah? I'm about to release you here. But you said it you don't need me"

"Are you kidding me?! How can you get me out of this crap?!"

"You're underestimating my powers huh. Let him out"

"Money can do everything."

"In return for giving you freedom, you going with me to execute the plan"

"What's the plan?"

"I get Y/N and you get Scarlett. That's the plan"
