IF OUR LOVE IS TRUE- We Will Definitely Make Through It.❤| COMPLETED

Chapter 20

I couldn't sleep the entire night. For the first time in my life, I felt so alone, so helpless, because the person who always helped me out of every mess, was himself in a mess, with me. I really wanted him to be by my side. Yes I think I loved him. But I don't know what was stopping me. May be I wanted him to say this to me. May be I was afraid of love after what Steve did to me. May be I needed some time to move on or to recover from all this. Or maybe I was just not ready to accept this fact. I was not ready. I was cursing my vulnerability. But at the same time a part of me wanted Jake. I knew I was hurting him. The amount of pain he must have gone through or he was going through was unimaginable. Jess' words were going on in my head.
I finally sat up. I closed my eyes and gave it a serious thought as to what I exactly felt.
I could feel it all, the first time I met him, the way he looked at me, the way he held my hand. Always so soft, so delicate. I was wishing to live all those happy days one again, when I was happy, everything around was so perfect- love, friendship, dreams, days.
I would completely agree to the fact that it was the most dufficult night of my life. All I could see was problems, pain, stress in our lives. We were all suffering, especially Jake, and the most painful thing was that I knew this suffering was all because of me, my foolishness. But I was still not ready to admit my feelings to Jake. I was lacking strength, I was lacking courage. My heart wasn't strong enough yet. I was still weak, I was still hurt.
The next morning, I felt really restless. I knew he was going, I wanted to see him for the last time, I wanted to say it all, but I was unable to move, I couldn't gather the courage to move out of my house. I was on the sofa in my own deep thoughts, when my phone buzzed. It was Jess.
"Hey, Jess." I recieved the call.
"Switch on the TV. Now!"
"Why? Ok wait."
"Turn on Entertainment Tonight."
"Yeah"
A second later, I was dumbstruck after what I saw.

Their was a video being displayed on the TV. It showed a celebrity getting into a fight with a guy in a club.
Mr. Cool, tends to loose his chill. The guy host said.
Steve Austin gets into a fight with a guy out side the Prince of Wales.
I wasn't shocked at the fact that Steve fought with someone. I think I didn't care anymore. But the guy he fought with. Jake. Yes, it was Jake. He fought with him. But why? For me?
All this time I forgot that Jess was still on the phone.
"What the hell is this, Jess? What is Jake doing over there?"
"He went there to speak to him Ritz. He went there for you. To fight for you. Do you still need a reason, or an explanation?"
I didn't answer. Cuz I knew what I wanted to do.
"Jess, at what time was Jake to leave for the airport?" I asked her.
"By 2 pm I suppose, why?"
I looked at the clock, it was 1.30 pm.
"O-Okay, I'll call you later." I hung up.

I locked my house, took a cab and rushed towards Jake's place. I was sure the step I was about to take was absolutely correct. I knew this is what I wanted, what everybody wanted, and it was right.
When I reached Jake's place he had already left, the guard at the main gate told me. I decided to go to the airport. All through the way I was thinking about the news I saw some time ago.
I would say it was my luck that I could catch up to Jake's cab just before the airport. My heart started racing fast. I knew what I had to say but couldn't figure out where to start from.
I got out as soon as Jake stepped out of the cab. I went to him. He had not noticed me yet. I simply decided to speak what was there in my heart, what I actually felt.

"What an amazing way to run away from things, right?" I said to him.
"Ritz? What are you doing here?"
"Wanted to tell you something Jake."
"All good?"
"I suppose not. I just wanted to tell you that I can't be happy without you. I would never put myself into anybody else, but you Jake. Cuz you are the one I deserve, you are a lot more than what I deserve. Without you I would always be into trouble. Cuz you are my saver, always. Though I know you will always be there for me, but I also want you to be there with me Jake." My eyes teared up.
"R-Ritz, I-I don.." His voice was heavy.
"Oh, Forget it." I stepped up on my feet and kissed him hard on his lips. A second later he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back.
I felt as if I would sink in him. I wanted to stay like this for the rest of my life. I realized this was something I always wanted. I felt complete. I felt me.
I moved away from him, still in his arms.
"I love you Jake. I love you so so much."
"I love you too Ritz. I have, always. And I will, always." He started crying.
I hugged him as tight as I could. I finally knew what I wanted, and I finally had what I wanted. Trust me I never felt so alive, so happy. And so complete.
