Where I belong.

Part 30 - Collecting my stuff

David stopped infront of my house. Where I used to live. Where I thought I'd spend my life. I found Bandz sitting outside. By the looks of it he had been crying. When he saw me step out of the car he put on a tough face.

My heart sat on my throat. I walked slowly to him.
"Uhm...hi." I started.
"I've packed your stuff already. "
"Thank you." I tried to touch his handsome face but he blocked my hand.
I walked into the house, looking for grandma.
"Grandmama? Granny?"
There was no reply so I went to her room. I found her sitting on her chair looking outside her window. I knocked softly on the door. She didn't turn to look at me so I slowly walked in.
"Grandmama? Are you okay? You don't look well. Have you eaten? I will make you something."
"Money isn't everything,Gwendolyn."
"Grandma?"
"You heard me. "
I avoided the whole topic and cleared my throat. "You look ill grandma. I will come by everyday to check on you and make sure you're okay. I don't live too far."
"Where do you live?" She asked with a dead look in her face.
"I'm in the suburbs. See, it's not far."
"So you're really not coming back?"
"I'm afraid not grandmama. I'm getting married to John."
"Mhm."
"I don't think Bandz will want to stay here. Once he leaves I will take you in with me."
"I'm not going into that man's house."
"Grandmama. There is space. You'll be happy. Our dreams will come true."
"Our dreams?"
"Yes." my eyes were teary.
"Close the door on your way out." she said softly. I know that meant she was chasing me out. I slowly turned away and walked out. I went to my room and found bags filled with my stuff. I felt like Bandz was chasing me out of my own house. He had every right to,though. I walked out to signal David to come and help me.

"You've only been in the fancy area for less than a day and you already need the help." Bandz said sarcastically.
"Bandz...not today, please"
"When then Gwendolyn? When? Do you know how embarrassed I am right now. Having to cancel a wedding? Do you know how much you hurt grandma?"
"I will take her with me as soon as you leave. She will heal."
"Are you listening to yourself? Just...go Gwendolyn. Go. Leave! I never want to see you again. Go and be happy with your sugar daddy. "
There was nothing to say. It was too painful to bear so I walked off to the car. I turned and walked back to Bandz.

We looked into each other once more and I  kissed him. "I will always love you,Bandz."

I looked down then went away. I closed the car door and disappeared in seconds.
