If only it was FOREVER | ✓

Chapter 24

"Good relationships, don't just happen. They take time, patience, and two people who truly want to be together."

Cara, it's not your beauty that has attracted me. It's your nature, your heart, your attitude that made me fall in love with you. It's YOU who has been ruling my heart for past 1 year. I love you Cara and I'll always do. Will you be mine forever?

Jay's words kept on playing in my head after hearing Cara. This couldn't be happening. This wasn't possible! Cara and Jay loved each other a lot. They meant the world to each other and there was no doubt about it. I had seen their love for each other and it was evident that they were meant to be together forever. 

"Cara.... what are you saying dear?" I asked.

"Ash.... I love him a...a lot. I....I can't let him...go." She hugged me and started crying even further. I hadn't seen her crying so much except for the time when my father left us and when I was in the hospital. I knew how much Jay meant to her. It wasn't possible for her to stay away from him. She was already finding it hard to cope up with the distance between them and now this. She would be shattered if this really happened.

"Cara, tell me what happened. Why did this happen?" 

She wouldn't let me go. She hold on to me tight and kept on crying. 

"A..Ash, I....I love him a..and so I....I am po...possessive ab..about him." 

"Cara, I know that. Something happened because of this?"

"I don't know. It...it's just I...I don't l...like it when he ta...talks to s..someone else. I know h..he is m...mine but...." She broke down even further. 

I hated seeing her this way. Cara didn't usually cry just like I did. But when she did, it was too heartbreaking. It felt terrible. 

She was just holding me tightly and kept on crying. I wanted to take away all her sorrows but in life the ones who give you the pain are the only ones who can take it completely from you. 

"Cara, I know how you are feeling at the moment. But trust me, everything would be alright. He can't stay away from you. And you know that."

"Ash, w...we had a..a fight o...over the ph...phone. I, at f....first, yell...ed at him a...and later he did. It sta....arted from the f..fact th...that he didn't l...like th....that I was spend...ing too mu...much time with James. I....I tried expl....explaining him th...the situation b...but he didn't l....listen. Later, w....we discuss....ed ab..about Amanda, the gi...girl wh..who li...lives in h...his neighb...bourhood and is a cl....classmate too."

The entire situation was clear to me now. The fight or rather the argument had happened because they loved each other too much. 

When you love someone deeply and madly, you want them to be entirely yours. You don't like sharing them with anybody. And when you have to, you just can't take it. At some instances, the anger makes us blind and we fail to understand the actual situation and we end up arguing. A little fight is important and necessary in every relationship. But too many of them just make you negative and weaker. This doesn't mean that it is an end of the relation if you fight too much. But it means that you have to be a bit more understanding and practical in dealing with stuffs. Jealousy conquers all. And jealousy makes us angry which further makes us blind. But in the end it's love that wins. And it should be love that wins. 

  "Cara, don't worry dear. You two had a heated argument. Things will be fine in sometime. Please don't cry dear." Just then my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Ash! Where is Cara? Is she there with you? Are you with her?Is she alright? Is she still crying? Give her the phone! Say something Ash!"

"Jay calm down. She is here. What do you wanna say?"

I turned on the speaker.

"Ash! Tell her I am sorry. Tell her that it was my anger that was speaking at that moment.Tell her that I won't do anything like that ever again. I won't ever talk to that bitch Amanda. I swear. And I won't ever let her go again. I love her a lot. She means the world to me. I don't want to be the reason behind her tears. I just want to be the reason behind her million dollar smile. Tell her...."

"Jay! I...I am sorry t....too. I sh....shouldn't have ye....yelled at y...you. I....."

"Cara!! Don't cry baby please."

I, then, turned off the speakers and handed over the phone to Cara. They talked for a while till things were completely fine. I could see Cara smiling. She wiped her tears and was now laughing. It felt good to see her this way. This was my Cara; she smiled and laughed, she would jump and giggle around. I loved seeing her this way.

"So you two were playing games it seems."

"Umm.....yeah. We were playing games." James replied.

"Were the games of the type that we three can play or it was exclusively for two."Cara smirked.

"You are lucky Cara. We just played the games that every normal person can play. Do you wish to?" I asked.

"Oh! I would love to!"

"Take this pillow then." I said and threw a pillow on her head. 

"Miss Trevelyan, you'll have to pay for this" and then came another pillow which went over my head and hit James directly on his head. He was standing near the bed and fell down after that pillow hit him. We couldn't help but laugh. 

This pillow fight between me and Cara kept on going till the time my room was filled with fur. James had tried stopping this cat fight but in this process he had injured himself a numerous times.

Amidst all this, my head disturbed me a few times. I would feel this sudden pain in one side of my brain which was unbearable. But then who prefers pain over fun. So I would ignore it as much as I could.

After the pillow fight, we had our dinner over the terrace, watched a movie again and at around 2 AM we went to sleep. I was suppose to sleep with James today but then he asked me to go with Cara as it had been a tiring day for her. So I stayed with her. 

It was only 3 days to go and then I would see a big smile on my princess' face. I hope I would be able to do something; something that my princess would like. Something that would be with her forever.

All's well that end's well. :) what next? Let's see. Keep reading.
