Another chilly, rainy and cold day. It was getting too tiresome for Carla to hide in the neighborhood where if she was seen words would spread and everything would come to an end. She has thought of going to Edi once the week was over, and even if she didn't want to she was supposed to.
After the talk with Issac about Jovani and his deeds, escaping the real fascinating story, Issac was always on the edge of flying to where the man and the cause of all the pain they went through, and kill him with his hare hands.
Carla has even told him how Aime saved her after. Carla was that day running after escaping the hellhole, it was a night and so she wasn't able to see where she was going,or the bushes that beat through her legs, thus stumbling on the obstacles of rocks bruising her legs. Carla didn't really see the gaint rock that stood proudly in front of her legs, tripping over it, before -that is- everything got dark and she was consumed by black.
It was then next day, Adrian told her how a girl with platinum blonde hair and dark eyes phoned him and told him her place, it was the same day Adrian told her the plan of faking her funeral and that she should move to a place no one knows her. Unfortunately, Carla didn't agree that time, she was stubbornly insisting that she would srat here beside the one she love, good thing Adrian had a drug to make her unconscious. Perhaps Carla was mad when she found herself inside a totally different house, Adrian didn't mind, at the very least he saved her.
Aime didn't speak a word to the policemen when asked dint Adrian begged her not to,it wasn't really easy to convince her that Carla would be safe with him, for Aime wasn't keen on giving him his sister, that was due to her not knowing Carla even had a family.
Persistent on knowing the whole truth, Issac again asked Carla questions she never wanted to ne asked. Issac though was really confused,it did make sense but there was some dots that were missing from the whole plot getting on his nerve. As like, why would Jovani try to kill her? Jovani was gone for a week before Carla's funeral -fake funeral,but whatever- and then suddenly he pops out of no where kidnapping Carla!
Carla would be confused too, meaning how could someone really try to murder someone because they didn't accept their feelings?! It was weird, but it did male sense for Carla knows the truth behind it all.
Every time she would think of it, her eyes would burn with tears and everything would go blank for a second except for her pain that perpetually itches her heart,how could it not when the people out there, the people she knew would stand for her -or so she thought,- let her down? Still not believing the stark she has lived and will still leave, she stare at Issac.
Issac pained him to see his girlfriend the way she is, it was like her inside was still empty. Noting lies in beneath her and it killed him not to know, he should have been there for her when she needed him, but he wasn't. He should have kept her close back then, heal her just like she did to his whole family, he didn't do what a lover would do and that tore him to pieces he couldn't really find to mend himself.
"Issac," Carla with a masked voice of confidence spoke, cupping his cheek and leaning towards him, "the past has already passed,let's not dig there"
"But.." Her hands felt warm over his cheeks, his heart running through its placate,
"No buts.." As soon as the words left his lips she shushed hik with her finger on his lips, and with her voice stopping him, "..don't mess my mood"
Indeed Issac didn't want to and maybe that was why he nodded locking the thought of questioning inside his mind, but he couldn't resist from asking her another questions. And so he continued.
"Then one question please"
He was deliberately eating Carla's heart with his pleading voice and the puppy eyes he gave her and she knew it. Carla though felt like that he should at least know something,it was his right and the act of his was working too.
"Go on" She sigh,nodding for him to continue along with her hand.
"If the incident with Jovani didn't happen at all, would you still.." Issac hesitated, "..you know leave"
There were words hidden inside the said words, there were emotions behind the cocked eyebrow of his and the confident look he shared,there was a great fear behind the urge to hear the answer.
Would you still leave everything behind, would you leave me and go?!
"Yes" she knew it would hurt him, she knew her answer would be a major let down for him, but she did anyway answer him for it was undeniable truth, "I would have still left you and everything behind."
He swallowed the lump that refused to pass his throat with a hardship, "why?"
Carla thought, what was the real reason she wanted to escape the place she grew at, what made her take a decision she knew would hurt most? Was it her family? Was it then Carlos? Then, the people that keeps judging her?!
Issac wasn't able to understand without having a tsunami of confusion and suspicion."Honestly speaking, I was trying to find out who the freckling fruck I was" she looked away from him, to the wall coloured dull gray, "to find the purpose of me, and where I belong"
"So...did you find it?"
"Actually no," Carla sigh, pushing her hand past her hair locks, "it's like am a misfit, like I don't belong anywhere. I don't know what my purpose is and so am still living with no actual...whatever you fucking call it"
"Carla you are searching for you," Carla rolled jer eyes at his stupid attempts of pulping her out of the misery she caged herself in, "..this is you, the Carla I love, the Carla who is broken and is still standing, you're searching for you,yourself"
Something clicked in Carla's Brian, like it was hidden and now is there clearly shining. He was correct, she was the Carla who is still searching for herself when she was her, it was confusing but still true. She was her broken raped self, she was her whose family hates her, who reads to get message, her who is her. And if she didn't fit anywhere, Carla was going to fit like a loved misfit, and maybe her purpose would be not fitting in the bunch of people, she trued once, twice didn't she and still she never filled a space, so why try again.
"And Carla" Issac gave her a deep kiss on the lips, for a minute devouring her, "you don't have to even fit in, you're unique in your own way and I love you for who you are"
_________To be continued________
And you too guys, you do not have to fit in, it is not must. And we, specifically I love you guys for who you are. I hope you know that you r amazingly unique.We're really about to end their story huh?!😭
Lots of hugs and love from me to you guys.
