Timeless (Marina's Version)

Chapter 13: The Way I Loved You

Carina's POV:

"Im fine, just leave me alone." Maya groaned. "I'm not leaving till you tell me what's wrong and don't even try lying to me." I was now frustrated with my wife. "Carina I told you I am fine!" She yelled. "Maya you haven't spoken to me in weeks, you stay out super late and leave for work before I even get up!" I tried to keep myself from yelling.

Maya got up from the table and went into our bedroom. "Let me help you bambina." I stood in the doorway of our bedroom. "I don't need help!" She looked at me in anger. I now had tears in my eyes. "Is this about your dad?" I looked at her in the eyes. "No!" Maya yelled. "Did it ever occur to you that your hurting me too? And our daughter?" I looked at her before walking away.

*A week later*

It was around 12:30am, Maya had went on a run a few hours ago and still wasn't back. I was trying not to panic but it has been really hard. Rowan hasn't spoken to her Mom since Maya started to push us both away.

I heard Maya come inside, I watched her go into the bathroom. I decide to get up and follow her. "Bambina.." I looked at her. "My love, I'm so sorry." She started crying. "Why did you not get help when it was clearly needed." I asked. "Because my father has always told me help is for the weak." She looked at me. "So it was about your dad." I swallowed. "He was trying to contact me, he wanted to see his granddaughter but he's never been allowed to see her, so I went to talk to him and he got pissed.. I told him about you and he said I was a horrible person." She broke down.

"Amore mio.." I pull her to my chest. "I never thought I'd be the one to hurt you." She continued to cry. "You coming back to me and apologizing is all that matters." I whisper. "How can I make it up to you?" She looked up at me. "A hot shower and then cuddles would be nice." I kiss her. "I love you." She smiles and kisses me back. "Ti amo bambina."

After our shower I got changed into one of Maya's shirts and got into bed, then my wife had gotten dressed and also got into bed. I laid my head on her chest. "Never shut me out again." I said softly. "I can't promise that I wont lash out again, but I won't shut you or our daughter out." She kisses my head.

*The next morning*

Maya's POV:

I walked into Rowan's room. "Baby girl?" I sat down on her bed. "Go away.."
She groaned. "Ro.." I cuddled her. "Mommy please.. I don't want you here, you haven't talked to me in weeks!" She cried. "I know, Im so sorry sweetheart. I'm here now for you and I won't push you away." I kissed her head. "You pinky promise?" She looks me. "I pinky swear." We put our pinky fingers together.
