Her Love Part 6

Nora P.O.V

When he called me into his office and told me to let go of him. I felt knifes hit my heart, him telling me to let go, to move on from him. But when he said that he doesn't love me, was when I realized it was too late for me.

My happy ending was gone, I lost the one. In a sense I felt free but the pain wasn't going away at all for me.

I managed to get the engagement party done on time. I also printed out my two weeks notice so I didn't have to live though my pain again, it's funny how I thought I would finally be free but I didn't feel it at all.

So many people came and went during the course of the party, some staying some leaving but the important part of the party didn't happen till the end.

He called Alyssa on stage, the lights were all on them. As he was saying his promises to her, I moved to the back. My heart was already bleeding, I needed it to stop. He told her how much she means to him, and how he can't spend his life with her. I felt a pinch at my heart but it went away as fast as it came. Everyone was happy for the couple, Alyssa looked gorgeous with her fiancé. They would make beautiful babies, I thought to myself as I touched my stomach.

The party didn't end until 2 in the morning, I stayed to help clean when I heard my name being yelled out. As it got louder, I realized it was Daniel who yelling it out.

"NORA" he yelled, walking towards where I was

"Yes, Sir" I said, he's eyes snapped to me, he looked like a mess while holding some things in his hand.

"What the hell are these" he said and threw them at me, I looked down to see us. My Daniel and I in all most of the pictures, I bent down and started picking them up.

"My Daniel" I said, looking at the pictures, I could hear his family make their way to us,

"We were so happy back then" I said to myself, going through the pictures,

"WTF is going on, why do we have pictures together" he said, I looked at him.

Truly looked at him, he had changed but deep inside he knew something wasn't adding up. I walked up to him, he looked taken aback before I put my hand on his cheek. I closed my eyes, while feeling his warmth, not stopping the tears. I opened them to see him just staring at me, I pushed his hair out his face like he would always do to me, I felt content in those few moments.

"We were a couple before your accident. You always said it was love at first sight, I just knew that I fell for you. We were engaged, we were going to get married when you had your accident." I said letting the tears just flow, his eyes watching every word I say,

"I came to see you at the hospital that day. I was just so relieved that you were alive, but in a way your weren't. It's ironic, you were not the Daniel I fell in love with. You became a whole different person, the complete opposite of the man I knew. You didn't even recognize me at all, so I thought if you didn't remember the women you loved, I didn't need to be in your life at all, and I did just that until you showed up in my life" I said holding onto the pictures for dear life,

"I was making a home for myself, the house we bought together it was slowly becoming my home. Then you came back, the feelings coming back with you, do you know how much a part of my heart broke seeing you with your Fiancé." I said looking down at the pictures

"How much your heart tears apart seeing the life you could have had with someone else?" I said

"You even told me to move on, the man I planned out my future with was telling me to let him go. You didn't even know what you were asking me for but I'm gonna give it to you" I said to him
