Affair With Forbidden *•Hollyoaks•*

07

Esmè knew how things were with Patrick. She knew how she told Patrick that she couldn't do it for much longer. She knew that she was right.

She was protecting herself. Especially she knew that she'd be the one who ended up hurt in all of this. She knew that it wasn't what she wanted.

Esmè sat in bed and sighed as she looked to her phone. She looked to see all the missed calls and texts off of Patrick and sighed.

She hadn't spoken to him and she didn't want to. She didn't want the excuses. She knew that she didn't want to sneak around anymore. It was too much. And it was too hard.

She knew that she deserved better. She deserved better than how he treated her. She knew that it wasn't fair on her.

Esmè got dressed and walked down into the kitchen. She Grace who smiled. "Are you okay?" She asked.

Esmè looked to her and smiled. "I'm fine mum. You don't need to worry about me. I have just been overwhelmed by things. That's all," she told her. 

Grace nodded. "If you say so. I still worry about you. No matter how old that you are," she said as Esmè smiled. "Oh these came for you," she said as she handed Esmè a bunch of flowers.

Esmè looked to them and smiled. She saw a note off of Patrick and sighed.

She knew that she just didn't want to play this game anymore. None of it was fair.

Esmè walked into the pub. She looked to see Isla. "I need a drink," she said as Isla poured her one as she downed it.

Isla and Warren held a look. "I'll leave you two to it," Warren said as he walked off.

Isla looked to Esmè. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Esmè looked to her and nodded. "I told Patrick I couldn't do it. The sneaking around. And how he had to choose. He won't stop texting and calling me and sending me flowers. Asking me to reconsider. I can't do it. I know I'll end up hurt," she said.

Isla smiled.  "Don't give in. Look I know it's hard. But you have to do right by yourself. And you know it," Isla said as Esmè looked to her and nodded.

"I know. I know it's over," Esmè said.

Esmè walked out of price slice. She wasn't paying attention as  she walked into Patrick. She cursed to herself. "What are you stalking me now?" She asked.

Patrick looked to her. He shook his head. "No. I just want to talk. Please," he said. 

Esmè looked to hun and rolled her eyes. "I told you. I have nothing to say. I can't do this," she said as she went to walk off.

"Please I love you Esmè," he told her.

Esmè turned to face him and frowned. "And her?" she asked as he looked to her and sighed.

He didn't say a word. And that said it all for her. "Say no more. It's done Patrick," Esmè said as she walked off.

But could this really be the end?
