His Addiction {COMPLETED}

A Little about me

Pascal's POV

"Hey, I'm sorry", I said at the door to the bathroom, she had locked herself in, the door was automatic and I could have simply asked Cathy to open it but it was her private moment and she needed it.

"Go away", she said with a teary voice

"Please talk to me, I'm right here, I won't say anything stupid, I would just hear you out and answer as much questions as possible", I said and she continued sobbing for a while

"Alright, I would be by the door if you need me", I said sitting by the door

"He was just a simple old man, you know, he...he never troubles anyone, he doesn't even like the sound of trouble, who...who would do this to him?!" She said sniffling, I was quiet and calm, let her say all that's in her mind

"He scolds Lucy a lot but insists that I'm simply the best, he once came for my school drama dressed like a lady when I was in my high school final year to represent my mom, he loved us a lot Pascal, he did a lot of wonderful things for us, so many that I can't start counting, from keeping a thick skin and not getting married again because his girls are not ready for a new mom, letting us go out but making sure we were properly dressed, he would have time for us even after a stressful day's work, he would play, sing and even dance with us when we ask him for it and what did I ever do in return for him? I did nothing Pascal, just nothing, he only asked of a grandchild from me and I kept bluffing him out because I had my pathetic reasons for not getting a boyfriend and get married, I would have gotten him even one child in return for everything he has done. He never got to see what his heart desires the most, I'm such a terrible person Pascal, I'm so stupid and useless", she said and I sighed standing up

"Cathy, open this room's bathroom door", I said and the door opened, I entered and saw her sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her knees and tears blurring her vision, this softened my heart and almost brought me to tears as well as I remembered my family. None of this people deserves anything bad to happen to them and if we start blaming ourselves for their demise then it was totally not worth it because we would never be good enough and no amount of regrets would fill that empty hole they left behind, it would just remain a black deep and scary hole all your life.

"It's not your fault Stacy, I promise that if you had your chance and had found the right man then you would have gotten married, you would have gotten a child and he would have been happy. You never found a chance plus the fact that he was murdered and never died a natural death",

"He never had an enemy Pascal", she said and I sighed

"You know I once had a family too, my mom, dad, Claude, Amanda and Mandy then me. I used to think that my family was a pain in the neck, I won't let them close to me or to my work, I just had a separate but happy life. I was free to go anywhere I wanted, meet anyone I wanted and get anything I wanted but I preferred a secluded life which my parents were against that's why they sent me to a public university which I hated so much because of it's not so private areas. Things happened and I got used to all this soon and started understanding the meaning of life and also started appreciating the things I had when Andrew's dad died but just a summer after which also happened to be my graduation day, I lost everything I ever had and everyone whoever cared for me. I never got a chance to buy Amanda and Mandy their favorite doll house, Claude never got his lastest brand suite which I got for him and I never got to apologise physically to my parents for being such a spoil show, you know, for being the black sheep in the family and I also never got to tell all of them how much I love and miss them. I guess I moved on", I said wiping away the tears that was threatening to break out as I looked at her with a smile
