Beauty in Walking Away (FINISHED)

Before the Worst (Chapter 26)

"You may leave know Lloyd. Thank you very much for your help and concern." Chrome told Lloyd as they were waiting for the doctor.

"No. I won't leave her. I won't leave Raine. I won't leave my fiancée." Lloyd said.

"Raine? You're fiancée? What are you talking about Lloyd?" Benina said.

"Theia's real name is Raine Mallari. She's my fiancée. The one I was looking for." Lloyd said.

"How did that happen?" Benina asked.

"The rumor came out after I proposed to her. It was a false rumor that affected the both of us. I was about to tell everyone about our relationship and marriage but because of the rumor I wasn't able to do it. My career started going down. Everything became a mess. Raine, being selfless person that she is went to London to help me and also to study. A few months passed and my career went back to normal. I got so busy that I no longer have time for her. I was so busy and made my career my priority that I didn't go to her graduation. That day was the day you met her. She saved you and got amnesia. I think you know more about what happened after that than me."

Then there was silence. Suddenly the doctor went out.

"She's stable now. Just let her rest. You can go to her later."

Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real, when you woke up you didn't know what to believe?

I thought everything was a dream. The rumor, the fight, the accident, the amnesia, Chrome, everything; I thought it was all a dream. But no, it is reality. It wasn't a dream. It wasn't something that I would forget 90% of it when I wake up. I would still remember it and even face it. The lost time had already changed a lot of things. And when I wake up, I may remember everything but the problems are just starting.

"Belle.." I heard Lloyd said as I open my eyes.

"Étoile." I answered.

"Good thing you are now awake. You got all of us worried. I'm happy your memory is back."

I looked at Chrome behind Benina. His eyes, it's weird but it looks happy yet sad.

"Chrome.." I said.

Chrome suddenly goes out of the room and Benina follows him.

"Chrome.." Benina said to Chrome as she followed him outside.

"I convinced myself this would never happen. I even wished that this day never comes. But I wished for the impossible." Chrome said.

"Chrome, don't say that. Stay. She needs you too."

"Sorry. I need to go."
