Walls

Chapter 19 part1

Jayson left a few hours ago. It is already late but I cannot sleep. This day has been too long, a lot happened but I still cannot find myself closing my eyes to rest.

I turned for the nth time on my bed. Jayson kept appearing in my thoughts. Don't get me wrong, he was nice, hot and all but I don't think I should be throwing myself to him. He was just being nice to me.

He was just helping me.

A part of me tells me that I do not need help but what could hurt if I try, right?

"Think of it Dani. It helped me, it could also do something for you." I hear Jays' voice in my head.

He offered me to go for spiritual counseling. He told to me what he gone thru and how it helped him. He also explained to me how it was done.

It honestly sounded appealing but I my defensive walls are discouraging me.

"They'll only let you vulnerable again.."

"They'll tell you, everything is alright. You give in then they'll leave you again.."

"You shouldn't be letting your guards down again. Yes, you know Jayson... before.. he could have changed thru the past years.."

I shook my head. I gathered my strength and took my phone and dialed Jayson's number.

It rang and after a few moments, I heard Jays' groggy voice.

"Yes? Jason, speaking."

And before I could even rethink everything again...

"Its me." I started. I sensed a sudden "alert" in Jays' voice as I heard him say "Oh."

"I'll sign up to that counselling you're telling me." Then before he could answer, I hang the phone.

My heart is racing. I moved here to get fixed and not become a psychopath who is suspicious to all people so I tried to look at the bright side. If I'll be feeling that "glorious" and "warm" feeling, I felt in the church, then I'm willing to do this. I know this is His way of redirecting me.

I saw my phone's screen lit up. I grabbed it and saw a message from Jays.

Glad you'll sign up. See you tomorrow, Dani. :)

I can't help but smile back at his message.

I shook my head lightly and thought, "Same old Jayson who never calls."

Jace's POV

It has been countless weeks since she left. I don't even dare think she's been away for months already. It hurts to think I've let her go and lasted for months trying to look for her. It breaks my heart whenever I re-read her letter. I turn to found out that, that lady in the lobby helped her. I was so close in harassing that lady to tell me where Danielle would go but she told me she didn't know. I also tried contacting Louis and asked him but he was still surprised to know that Danielle left. I searched almost the whole New York only to be left empty handed.

I even talked with her dad asking if she went back home but he was equally worried than I am when we both think of places where could she be.

I let out a sigh as I tried to go to sleep. This will sure be one of those cold nights.

Then, my phone lit up. I picked it up immediately thinking and hoping it was Danielle only to found out it was an email from her dad. Although my enthusiasm falls half, I was still curious what could her father tell me.

Jace, call me. ASAP.

My heart ran a mile. Could it be? Did he already found her? I pressed the call button immediately. I held my breath every second that passed.

"Jace.." Said the man on the other line.

"You asked me to call, dad?" I asked. I became used in calling him, dad.

"Yes. Danielle just called..."

"She what?" I cut him. Millions of questions running through my head right now.

Is she alright? Did she tells him where she is? Was she going back to the Philippines or here in New York?

"She called me about a week ago." He said.

She called him a week ago and he just told me this? But I still chose to be quiet. I somehow know he only does what's the best.

"She didn't tell me where she was. She just told me she was fine." He said.

Images of Danielle were flashing in my head. I know she is not alright. She was not near fine.

"She cut me off before I could even ask her more questions but I still have the number she used when she called me. I kind of traced where it was from and found out the call came from..." He said.

I waited for the last word he was going to say. My heart is racing and my palm is sweaty.

"It said, it came from London. I tried to call it back but cannot get through. I found out it may be a pay phone or something."

London? How can I not know? She used to tell me that she has wished to visit London. It was a possible place where she is.

"Go and find her Jace." He said. "Both of you need to talk to sort things out."

I made up my mind.

I'll go to London.

"Yes, dad. I'll get her back. Thanks a lot." Then I hung the phone.

I'll follow you, Danielle. I will not be able to find another soulmate because I already found her in you.

I'll do everything to win you back.

a/n: Heyya! Back to my usual length haha! Sorry guys. Can't help.

Anyway, I figured you might be missing Jace's POV so I made one of him. Some of you might even realize that Jace and Jays sounded the same! LoL. I haven't figured it out until now. I'm such a bad author. tsk.

Speaking of Jace, Jace's POV was days after Danielle's POV (since the call, the church, meeting Jayson happened all in a day). So don't be confused. :)

PS.

I love you guys! Did I tell you guys about that already? xo
