My Two Loves

Chapter 17

Hey y'all new month new blessings wishing you all peace, positivity, and even more blessings for the month of March

Elijah's POV

Shaking the nerves off I followed Mariah outside to sit and talk. I knew this conversation was going to be hard but it had to happen. We both sat in silence for a few minutes before I spoke up.

(Conversation below)

Me: I know you have a lot of questions and I'm here to answer them so that it won't be awkward anymore

Mariah: yes I do so I'm going to start from the beginning what happened that made you leave me like that

Me: first let me say it wasn't my intention to leave you like that but when I started getting messages from a unknown person at first I paid it no mind until they started mentioning you and your family and that they were going to off y'all one by one and I just couldn't let that happen and then the feds were building a case too and I just wanted to keep everybody safe and out of harms way. The night I was suppose to meet you when I went to the meeting with my brothers that's what it was about the feds and a new connect trying to take over. So I knew if I went away and laid low trying to get to them first before they could do any damage. When I sent you that message I couldn't risk anything so I just left it as is and disappeared. I just hated the fact it took me so long to get them but it did and that's my biggest regret of all because I knew I left you heartbroken and couldn't say why. And I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself for it or if you would forgive me once I told the truth. I'm truly sorry Mariah but I still love you, it's going to hurt like hell to truly let you go but I know I'll have to do it.

I looked over at Mariah and she was crying and i immediately felt bad but the next thing she said to me tore me apart

Mariah: I do understand now on why I just wish it could've been different but before I go further it's something I have to tell you. After you left I found out I was pregnant, but I found out I was pregnant when I was having a miscarriage.

By then I had some tears in my eyes and Mariah was full blown hysterically crying. I hugged her because deep down I knew if I hadn't left I would've been then with her and it wouldn't have happened. After a few minutes we let go of eachother and she told me that she would be contacting me soon to finish the conversation which was understandable because emotions where all over the place. Saying good bye to her I left and went to see my parents, because I needed some advice but to also let them what happened.

Mariah's POV

Closing the door after Elijah left I turned and saw Jaxon coming around the corner and I just broke down in his arms. I didn't realize it would hit me this hard but it did. After getting myself together I decided to have a talk with Jaxon to let him know my plans. I just hoped he understood them but to also let him know my feelings.

Omniscient POV

Mariah sat Jaxon down and told him about the conversation she had with Elijah. Of course Jaxon understood it was needed because he could see a breath of fresh air in her face that she got the answers she needed. But he also knew it was some unresolved feelings as well and he knew the next thing he was about to say would not only have Mariah looking at him like he was crazy but that it would set the tone for the rest of their lives.

Jaxon's POV

Listening to Mariah tell me about her conversation and fully understanding, I knew the next thing I was about to say would make her look at me crazy asf. I understand all of it and I know it wasn't easy to hear it but I'm glad you got your answers. But I also know there is still some unresolved feelings between the two of you. So I think you both should spend some time together to see what will happen. I know he still has apart of your heart and I can tell you still have some love for him. Just promise me you'll let me know every detail that happens and I'll be talking to him also to see where his head space is.

Mariah's POV

Hearing Jaxon say his peace i wanted to knock the hell out of him. But I understand it and I feel it's true because I had deeply loved Elijah and when everything happened despite it all I still did but when Jaxon came along they started to disappear. But with Elijah coming back it brought everything back to light again and I knew I was going to be more confused then ever. I just needed everyone to be on the same page about what was going to happen next.

What will Jaxon say to Elijah?
How will Elijah react to the next conversation?
Will Mariah be stuck between two hearts or will she choose only one?
