Let Love Bleed Red

Chapter 22

*Ash’s P.O.V*

After that day I broke up with Eoghan, I moved back into my old house while I looked for somewhere cheap to rent. I wanted to move out again as soon as possible because I hated that house.

I went over to the Walsh’s house two days after moving out, to get my stuff. I didn’t want to because it would be awkward, especially if I bumped into Eoghan but luckily enough no one was home.

I left my key with a note saying “I’m sorry” on Eoghan’s bedside table before leaving, my hand around the locket he had given me, tears welling up in my eyes again.

Anyway, I found a tiny two bedroomed apartment that was cheap enough and moved in quickly. I’m still in college but I’ve had to take on a part time job in a boutique. The owners were kind of mean and disapproving when they found out I was pregnant but they’re nicer now because I’m a good worker.

It’s been two years since that horrible day now and I have a beautiful daughter called Avery. She’s sixteen months old now and one of the best, and worst, things to happen to me. I wouldn’t give her up for anything..

It hurts to look at her though. I know that sounds bad but she looks almost exactly like Eoghan.. She has his black hair and blue-green eyes, pale skin and the most adorable smile. She such a happy, good natured child. I bring her to the boutique sometimes and all the women coo over her while she runs around laughing.

I’ve tried dating a few guys but they always make some excuse not to meet again when they find out about Avery. Not that I mind much anyway, I never got over Eoghan. I think about him every day, I still love him so much..

*Eoghan’s P.O.V*

I haven’t seen Ash in two years yet I still love her. I felt like shutting myself away from the world when she left me. I went to college though, only because my parents practically forced me. I know they meant well though..

I have a good job now, as an architect. My parents are really proud and happy but I’m not. I can barely feel any emotions anymore. I just want to see her, even once.

Which is why I’m going to. I’ve asked people who knew her, her old friends and looked her up. I’m not proud about it, I feel like I’m stalking her or something..

I found out where she lives though, a little apartment in town. I found out she she’s in college as well. At least she’s doing something she wanted to..

I’m going to call over to her tomorrow evening. Even though it’s just as friends. That guy she’s with, if she’s still with him, better not be there though or I might find myself punching him. I can’t wait to see her again..
