A Love Like Water

Chapter 33 - Rhythm of the Falling Rain

- Freen's POV -

They saw what I did and I know they are looking for me now because I am a witness and I helped Charlotte destroy their laboratory.

And.. they saw my powers. The thing that I'm trying to hide for the past few years but I guess there are some things that you cannot hide when the situation asks for it.

That man in white coat, he's probably a doctor or a scientist. I'm not sure but when I saw his face looking at me, there's something in him that I cannot fathom. He was mad but at the same time he's facial expressions showed interest in me.. It's weird and somehow, it creeps the hell out of me..

And now what? I can't go near Becky and I fucking miss her..

I knew she saw me watching her last night, I was at a safe distance and yet she had seen me. As soon as her gaze drifted to where I am standing, I immediately hid myself from her.

I don't know what to do, if I get near her these people looking for me might hurt her. But Becky is also getting threats from I don't know who. I need Charlotte to fix this and tell me that it's safe to get near Becky so I can protect her not just from afar. I wanted to be with her.

It's been days that I haven't got a good night sleep. I've been up all night looking out for Becky from afar, just guarding her. There are times I went over to her balcony just to watch her sleep..

The flashback from our encounter when she was drunk replayed on my head as I sat on her balcony floor, my back on the railings.

- Flashback -

"After finding out what happens to you when you try to remember your past.. I don't want you to get hurt so I kept everything from you.. Hoping you'll remember it just by me being around you.. I'm sorry.. Freen.. I can't keep it anymore. It hurts, so much.. In here. Sorry.." Becky said as she gripped her chest sobbing hard.

"Y-You know me?" I asked her as my eyes are starting to get filled with tears.

Becky nodded her head as she moved closer to me and her hand held my jaw, "I-I do.. and I-I am sorry, Sam.. Freen.. My love. Please forgive me, baby.." And with that, she passed out again in my arms.

"Bec.."

- End of flashback -

Becky.. You and I need to talk..

But, the risks.. Will I be able to protect her in case something happens? I can't wait for Charlotte this long. I wanna know everything and fix things with Becky.

Fuck it!

Whether she loves me or not, I'll take my chances. I'm going to apologize for everything that I've done to her. If I was a bad person in the past, I'll make it up to her. I just want to be with her..

But she called me 'my love'.. It means she love me..

Then there's no time to waste..

I left my phone at Cali's house so I don't have any means of contacting Charlotte. Good thing she gave me her number and I still remember it in my head. Maybe I should take my phone first.

With everything that is happening, I just can't stay like this.

I have to do something..

I know I shouldn't go to Cali's house now that I know that I'm being followed but I'll be very careful..

I just need my phone and a few clothes and I'm off to Becky..

I've spent the night again here in Becky's flat balcony. I know she's already asleep, she's going to be alright, right? It's Saturday and I think she might not go outside anyway given that its already night. It will be for a few hours then I'll come back fast. So I stood up and climbed my way down the balcony like a fucking robber..
