The Unexpected Love

The End Of The Road

***Leah***

Its been a week since Aaron got out of prison. Everything is going well....kinda. I hate having to look over my shoulder all the time in case someone is there, watching me.

"Leah darling, you have a letter" My mum shouted from downstairs. I ran downstairs and took the letter off her. 

"Who could this be from?" I asked myself. I opened the letter, thinking it would junk mail or some shop offer. 

I started to read the letter.....

" My darling Leah, 

I know it may be difficult to believe right now, but I really do love you and have honestly never loved anyone else.I would give anything to pick up where we left off--just doing everyday things like coming back to the apartment after work, kicking back on the couch and sharing the ups and downs of each other's day,  I am sorry. I don't want you to think that I'm saying those words lightly. I really mean them. I am so sorry. I know that what I did was wrong and I know that it hurt you deeply. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I do know that I never wanted to hurt you. I wish I could take it back, but I can't. All I can do is try to show you how much I regret what I've done and ask for your forgiveness.I want to see you. I want us to meet so we can just talk. I want to start making it up to you.I swear I won't do anything that will hurt you again. Please, I love you. I have changed. 

Love, Aaron x x x "

I put my hand over my mouth, trying to stop it from falling open. I folded the letter back up and put it back in the envelop. 

"Who's it from?" My mum asked.

"Oh, no one, just some junk mail" I said as i ran out the front door.

"Where are you going?" My mum shouted.

"NIALL'S" I shouted back before the door closed.

I got into my car and drove to Nialls.

I sat on Niall's sofa. I was a nervous wreck. 

"Whats wrong Lea? you look nervous" Niall said as he came in with a cup of tea.

"This came in the post today" I said as i got out the letter from Aaron.

"What is it?" Niall asked, confused. He got the letter out of the envelop and started to read it.

A few minutes pasted even though it felt like hours.

"Leah, you can't meet him, don't even think about it" Niall threw the letter back to me and his face was so worried. 

"Nialler, what if he finds me? what do i do? what about Harry?" I had so many questions to ask.

"He won't find you and don't worry about Harry, he won't know. I won't tell him and neither will you" Niall replied and he hugged me.

I clutched onto Niall as we hugged. My heart was racing. We pulled away and i put the letter back in my bag. 

"Don't worry Lea, he can't get you again" Niall reassured me.

There was just something about Aaron, no matter how hard i tried to hate him i just couldn't. I guess i did really love him.

I had been home for nearly two hours now. I was sitting on my bed, listening to music. Someone had knocked on the front door, i could hear my mum let someone in, it was a mans voice. Was it Aaron? 

I heard someone walk up the stairs and i could hear my mum tell them which room was mine. I took my headphones out my ears and sat in the corner of my room in a little ball. I think its Aaron. I've never been so scared. 

I wrapped my arms around my legs to keep me in closer. I was shaking. If it is Aaron, what do i say? what will i do? where will i run? I don't want him to hurt me again. 

I waited and waited for the man to come in. I could see the mans shadow under my door. I heard him put his hand on the door handle. 

The handle went down, slowly. 

Who was it? Was it Aaron? Is he back?

I was scared to death, i felt sick to the stomach. I couldn't breath, it felt as if someone was choking me.

 It seemed as if this was the end of the road.
