Saving You

35//An Ugly Truth

Chapter 35
"Everyone is playing a game of hiding their feelings or hiding from their feelings."

*******************************

"

What are you doing here?"

"Rose! I need to talk to you."

"There is nothing to talk about between us."

"Rose Please."

"Hayley! How dare you come here after everything you have done?"

"Rose, I am all alone. I have no one and I lost everyone. You are my psychologist and you are the one who knows me so much."

"And I turned out knowing nothing about you."

"Rose, We are all humans and we do mistakes. You should be the one who knows that."

"Why are you here, Hayley?"

"I need to talk with my psychologist, please." She says politely. I sigh then I step away from the door so she can enter. I close the door then we go and sit in the living room.

"What do you want to talk about?" I ask her.

"I am alone in my life.....I have no one.......I lost Ian.....I lost you......I lost Eric.....I lost my family.......I....I...I...lo-lost....everything." She says and her voice cracks at the last words. She starts crying.

"I....I...am....so...so-sorry....for everything...." She says between her sobbings. I feel my heart aching for her. I go closer to her and I start patting her back. She comes closer too and hugs me. I hug her back and I can feel her tears on my back.

"Calm down, Please." I say as I gently pat her back.

"My....boyfriend left me......." She says between her sobbings. She pulls back and bury her face in her hands.

"Hey, It's ok." I say as I softly caress her hair.

"My boyfriend......he wants kids....he wants us to take the next step in our relationship.....I want too.....but I find out that I have been sterile since the....the...mistaken abortion......I couldn't give him what he wanted.....so...he left.....me.." She says and I feel bad for her. No one deserves that. No one deserves to go through all of this alone. She doesn't deserve that. Despite everything Hayley has done, she is still that girl that was abused by her father. She thinks that she forgot and became stronger but she never really forgot. I can't blame Hayley for everything she has done. I can't bring myself to blame her and say that it's her fault. I can't because she is a victim. A victim of her abusive father. She has endured so much pain. A pain that only a father can do. Hayley is not a bad person. She is just suffering. She doesn't know what to do with her life. She doesn't know her feelings. She is just living with no goal, no love life nothing.

Next Day.........
*door bell ringing*
I wake up from the sound of the door bell. I get up and I make my way to the door. I see Hayley sleeping on the couch. I refused to let her drive in the state she was in yesterday. So she stayed and insisted to sleep on the couch. I cover her with the blanket and I go to open the door.

"Hey, babé. I brought you breakfast." Ian says as he gives me a kiss on the cheek then he makes his way inside my house. I close the door. I turn around and I find Ian freezing in his place with a puzzled look.
