Half A Heart

Leaving

Carol POV

It took everything in me to make this decision and come to think of it,it was better I leave.

Yes,I'm leaving, I can't stay here anymore,it will only bring back unwanted memories and those memories only leaves me broken all over again.

I had to convince my brother and he finally agreed.

My bags were already packed but there was one thing I needed to do.

I needed to say good bye to Eloisa.

I had already told Blake about my plans and surprisedly he agreed.

Its time to forget the past and move on,those were his exact words.

I was on my way now to see her and I know she would probably kill me since I haven't tried to reach her.

I knocked on her door and I was expecting her aunt to open the door but instead Eloisa was the one who opened the door.

Her eyes were wide with surprise.

Carol?!,she hugged me almost squeezing the life out of me.

I miss you,she finally let go of me.

Me too,i smiled.

I heard about what happened, I'm so sorry,she cried.

I'm surprised at how news spread very fast.

I had made a promise to myself that I wasn't going to cry,not any more.

I had spent over a month crying on my bed after Reid death.

A part of me wanted to believe that he wasn't dead,that he was still alive.

But that part of me was so small compared to the other part that had already given up.

I know its hard for you right now,but something tells me that Reid isn't dead,she said.

I looked at her confused,why would she think like that.

Almost 5 months and nothing about him she still believes Reid isn't died.

Did you see his dead body,she asked.

I shook my head not really understanding what point she was trying to make.

So he isn't dead,she smiled.

Have already given up Eloisa, he isn't coming back,its better we accept it now,the better for us,I told her.

She wanted to see something but her aunt cut her off.

Eloisa, leave the girl alone,her aunt glare at her.

Sorry,she put her hands up in surrender.

Would you be joining us for breakfast, her aunt smiled at me.

I actually came to say goodbye, I said not looking at their faces.

What?!,Eloisa shouted.

You are leaving,her voice broke.

I regretted raising my head to look at her because immediately I did I broke down in tears.

I can't stay here,it will only bring back memories, I cried.

She hugged me in understanding.

We both stood there hugging each other not saying anything it.

When will you be back,she asked me.

I haven't really thought of coming back,I answered truthful.

Her face held hurt.

But I promise to call you every day,I said trying to lighten the mood.
