Chapter 26: Christian
They say it’s hard to be away from the one you love. And that is true. But it’s a million times harder to know the one you love hates you more than anything on earth. I can never make Beth love me. I realise that. But I can tell her how sorry I am. Keeping her in the dark about Katherine was to help her, not hurt her. Unfortunately she doesn’t see that. But I can try and make her see.
I knock on the complex door and Harper happens to answer.
“Hey Chris.” He says.
“Is Beth here?” I ask.
“Yeah. Got back an hour ago. Stayed out with some guy called Harry.”
I nod. “Can I see her?”
Harper shrugs and goes back into the building, leaving the door open. I walk in behind him, the heat of the room hitting me square in the face. I wave an awkward goodbye to Harper and head for Beth’s office. I knock on the door and hear soft murmuring. I open the door slowly and meet Beth’s eyes.
She leaps to her feet and starts pushing and shoving and punching me. She doesn’t cause any damage but she becomes frustrated. I catch hold of her hands which are balled into fists and I bring them gently to her sides. She begins violently sobbing and I carefully but firmly pull her down to the ground. She buries her head in my shoulder and I try to comfort her as her shoulders shake. After a few minutes she sits up, her tear stained face searching my face. She half falls, half jumps on me, arms outstretched. She stays there for ages before pulling back and pulling herself onto my lap. I wrap my arms around her in a tight embrace.
“I’m so sorry.” I whisper.
She rests her head on my shoulder and nods.
“I know Chris. The stupid thing is, I was so mad at you btu I couldn’t hate you because I love you. I really love you Christian. More than I’ve ever loved anyone.”
“I love you too.” I whisper.
When we kiss, it doesn’t feel weird. I hadn’t kissed anyone in a very long time but kissing Beth feels right. She pulls back and smiles.
“I love you Chris.” She whispers.
We must have sat on the floor for at least half an hour, our bodies entwined when Harper opens the door.
“Beth Nova says her and- oh. Never mind.” Harper says, closing the door again.
Beth laughs and I laugh too. I’ve been waiting for this for years. Now it’s finally happened.

This is so cliche! And the characters kiss and smile and whisper too much! Grrr! And I keep miss typing Christian and Christina!
