A Second Chance At Redemption

Chapter 8: Forgiveness and love

there he was standing in front of me looking as if a truck ran over him. His disheveled hair, the bags under his eyes, The tie around his neck was loose, he looked as if he hadn't slept for months.

I tried to breathe but the air gets caught. Looking at him made me wanna cry. He stared at me  for too long, those mesmerizing brown eyes of his were void of any emotions. My heart was pounding 10 x faster.

I've missed him.

It's been long since I've seen him. His presence made me feel whole again.

I decided to shake it off and walk past him. "Lynn let's go"

Then I felt cold hands around my wrist causing goosebumps to appear of my pale skin.

"Kyle" God, I missed his voice. But it was a bit croaked.

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, fighting the tears from falling.

"Look at me"

I tried to stop the tears but It was impossible

"I...I.. can't" if I do I'll break down

"Please" he continued. I turned around to look into eyes they were filled with tears, Lynn was long gone .I started crying too.

"I'm sorry" he said. "My heart feels the burden of guilt because I will never forgive myself for what I did. But my heart also yearns the solace, which can only come with your forgiveness. I am sorry."

"I...I...i've forgiven you a long time ago, I have" I croaked out.

He palmed my face.

"Why, why didn't you tell me huh? Why didn't you reply any of my messages? Did you know that I've been miserable without you huh? Every moment spent without was meaningless I yearned for you and just ignored me huh? Why kyle ?" He looked me dead in the eye. He didn't care if we were in front of a hospital and people are watching.

"Just that I...I-"

"You what?"

"I..I was scared of getting hurt again okay?" Tears flowing down my cheeks. "I didn't know if I wanted to trust you again I...i was scared " I cried like there was no tomorrow.

"I know, it will be very hard but just give me one chance to prove my love for you, to prove that am a changed man, please baby, It is impossible to change the past, but you have my promise to make it up to you in the future. " he pleaded.

Now that I think about it.

I think I do want to give him a chance, a chance to redeem himself, a chance to be good.

I want him.

No, I need him.

I can't stay one minute without wanting to be near him. Those long three months without him have prove to me that I love him so much. I never  want to be separated from him again.

Never.

"Just give me A second chance at redemption"

"Yes"

"Thank you so much"he hugged me
"I love you"

"I love you too" it felt real saying it out.

Together, we embarked on a journey of healing, love, and redemption. Our bond grew stronger with each passing day, as we built a future filled with trust, understanding, and unconditional love.
