Finding Love In A Unorthodox Way

Chapter 14

It's been a month. A month of crying, ignoring Adam's calls, and texts. All I did was work, talk to Hales, cry, and sleep. I don't know why I actually let my walls down with him. I just instantly felt a connection with him. I was so drawn to him. It was as if I known him all my life. Although though we weren't together for very long, I fell inlove with him. Moving on from him was feeling near impossible. I didn't even feel this way about my cheating ex. Me and that loser was together for years and I never felt this way. Not even when I found him cheating. I guess it's true what people say. Time doesn't exist where the heart is concerned.

Maybe I should go see Trina. I haven't really needed to see her, since Adam and I got together. These feelings were unnatural for me. I never felt this way. I needed to go and see if I was crazy.

A few hours after I took a nap, I called Trina. It was three pm. She gladly said she would see me today. So after hanging up with her I took a quick shower, did my hair, grabbed my keys, and drove to her office.

I arrived thirty minutes later. Once I reached Trina's office, I knocked on the door. She called for me to come in. When she seen me, she smiled, and told me to sit down. I did and then started to cry again. Trina came over to her couch, and started rubbing my back. These tears were starting to annoy me. When will they stop flowing from my eyes?

Once I calmed down. I started telling Trina why I needed to see her. She just sat there and listened. She would time to time write down notes on her notepad. After about an hour of me venting Trina spoke.

"I'm sorry Kayla, that your going through some turmoil. I notice when you were talking about Adam, your eyes still held a twinkle in them. I would love for you to do this exercise for me. Take this piece of paper write down the pros and cons of your relationship with him. If the pros outweigh the cons, talk to him and see how things go. However, if the cons outweigh the pros, you should think about moving on." Trina the wise said.

I did as she told me. I was done twenty minutes later. I seen that I had about fifty pros and two cons. However, the cons were huge. There were more pros and that outweighed the cons. I guess I should hear Adam out. I won't accept him defending his father again though.

It was seven o clock when I was leaving Trina's office. She was such a great help. She also assured me I wasn't crazy for crying. It was just the feeling of being heartbroken. Once I was in my car, I turned my phone back on. I seen that I had ten missed calls from Adam today, and fifteen texts. He was begging for me to reply. I opened a new tab and texted him.

"Can you come to my house so we can talk." I wrote.

Not even a minute later he replied.

"I'm on my way, be there in half an hour." He answered back.

I drove him in less then twenty minutes. The traffic calmed down, since going to see Trina. I went into my house, grabbed a water out of the refrigerator, and sat down on my couch. Just as I was about to turn the tv on, I heard a knock on my door. I slowly walked to the door, I didn't really want to see him. Maybe this was not a good idea, I thought as I made my way to open the door. Just as I was changing my mind, another knock interrupted me. I just answered it.

Once the door was opened I seen the one person, that broke my heart. The one person that I cared a lot about. Who didn't stand up for me. He looked terrible. He grew a beard, his eyes were red, and he looked like haven't slept in over a month.

"Hi babe." He said with a sad tone.

"Hi, Adam" was all I said.

I moved back and allowed him in. We both sat at the kitchen table. Both not saying a word. After about five minutes of neither of us speaking, He was the first to start talking.

"I missed you so much. This past month have been the worst. I been so depressed and angry at myself. I should have stood up for you. I just been so controlled by him my whole life. I am terrified of him. He really is evil and a tyrant. He told me I'm not allowed to date. That I was not allowed to call you my girlfriend until three years of dating. I am twenty five years old! He has brainwashed me. I'm trying to not let him. However, he's always saying if I make him mad, I will give him a heart attack. If he has a heart attack, and dies, he says it would be my fault. I just try not to start drama. I don't wanna be the cause of him dying. I also don't want to lose you. I'm just so torn baby. I just need you to be with me. You are the only one that truly loves me. No one has ever made me this happy please don't end us for good. I'm so inlove with you." Adam finished speaking.

I just sat there taking everything in. I was so sad for him. How could your own father say that to you. That man is pure evil. He doesn't want his grown son happy. How could you not want him to live his life. How could you say he would be the cause of your death. Adam was scared to stand up to him for that very reason. Wow just wow. I went over everything in my head. I came to a decision. So I started to answer him with how I was feeling.

"That's horrible that you have to go through that. I'm glad that you at least have your own place. You don't have to deal with him 24/7. I love you to. However, if we are going to work. You need to stand up to him. Don't let him speak negatively about me or our relationship. If you can do those things, we can be back together. I finished saying.

Right after I said those last words, Adam jumped out his chair, picked me up, and started spinning me around. I was laughing because he was so happy. He had the most goofiest smiles plastered on his face. He then sat down and pulled me onto his lap. Saying he can agree to those rules, that he would agree to anything to be with me. I just smiled at him. The hurt I was feeling in my heart was replaced by happiness. I can't just give up on him. Whatever his dad tried to do I will ignore it. I won't end us. His father has just met his match. No one can treat another human like that. I won't stand for it! He will fail at ending us. Our connection is rare. Try as he may, he won't succeed at breaking us a part. Not now not ever.
