MY TEACHER

36

Hailey's POV

He looked up at be with a frown and I turned my phone around so he could see it.

He looked at the picture and didn't say anything. It was just silence. I waved it around his face just to get him to say something, but still nothing.

"Christian, what the fuck is this an old picture " I asked confused at what I'm seeing in front of my face like what happened like did they all faked their deaths? What is going on?

Why would they even do that in the first place? I definitely understand that their life is not completely normal like mines but what could even provoke you to do something so terrible and scary like that.

"Are you gonna say something" I pressed, I was so pissed off with him right now because he's acted as if I wasn't there.

"I mean, what do you want me to say Hailey" he started to say, but stopped with a long sigh.

"It happened and it was for a reason, I'm sure that he will sort everything out with his girlfriend like I did with you " he said as if it was nothing like it was completely normal to your fake your death.

"No you don't get to say that because do you know how hard it was thinking that you were gone forever and I didn't even get to say goodbye at least and you don't think that's fucking wrong" I argued. I then took a deep breath just to calm my emotions because I know they did what they had to do but mainly I was just shocked that one could even do such thing in the first place and made it seem so normal.

"Look calm down I know that this is not normal. I know that it is not okay alright, babe....we did what had to be done, basically and so we are here and we're good now. So let's just try to forget it or just try to put it behind us now because I'm really not trying to get in that mind space again" he said in conclusion and just like that I was defeated. I got up from the bed and I rang bri phone twice before finally getting an answer.

All I heard was small sniffles and I could hear quiet movements in the background.

"Brianna"

"Babe just talk to me nuh" I heard in the background and my belly dropped, this must be traumatic for her.

I decided to end the call because she didn't have to say anything for me to get a hint.

Deep down I was happy, because I am trying my best to understand why they would do it and all but most importantly, they are here like Christian said.

I felt him pull closer to me not hugging because he knew I was upset. waiting for him to hold me so I could sleep, I realize how hard it is to even sleep without him.

Sighing I went a little closer and finally I felt him pulling me into him.

The roosters and the sunlight woke me up and I stretched before rushing to the bathroom.

Sitting on the toilet, I could tell Christian showered already, I hope he is still here. Aren't we leaving today anyways?

I brushed my teeth and washed my face before going into the kitchen.

From the hallway I watched my grandmother and my boyfriend in the kitchen talking and making breakfast.

I wish I know how to explain it but he looks so different in this light or this whole homey environment. He looks...fatherly I dare to say.

"Good morning my grand baby" she said with a big smile to her face and he looked over in my direction with a smile on his face as well.
