Forever Mine

Chapter Twelve

Hadin.
Day Two.

As I get off the plane at Dublin Airport in Ireland, I come down the escalators to see my Uncle Derek and Aunt Katie standing there waiting for me. I get off the escalator belt and walk over to them. Aunt Katie runs over and gives me a large hug.

"Hello boy. You've grown so much." She tells me. I pull away looking at her standing in front of me. She looks just like my mom. The long brown curly hair, the smile and eyes. "I've missed you." She tells me.

"I've missed you too Aunt Katie." I tell her.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you Hadin. But why are you here darling?" She asks me.

"It's a long story." I tell her.

"Well it's a good thing we have a bit of a drive ahead of us." She says as she loops her arm through mine as she leads me out of the airport leaving Uncle Derek to follow behind us. "Come on boy, last time I talked to Jace I heard you had a good girl back in America." She says.

"Yeah I had a girl." I tell her.

"Oh baby, what happened?" She asks me.

"I lied to her. I hurt her. I tried to make it better, but she hated me even after everything came out." I tell her.

"Darling what did you do?" She asks me.

"I took a job offer I shouldn't have. It involved her ex and I was supposed to bring her to him. I didn't love her when I took the offer. I fell in love with her fast. I wish I never of made that deal with him." I tell her.

"Hunny we all make mistakes. If she can't get past it and if she loves you, you'll find your way back to each other." She assures me.

"Its not that simple. The reason why I'm here, I made another deal." I start. "her ex came to me, said he would disappear if I did. So I left." I tell her as tears start running down my face. "I love her with all my heart. She was the one I could see a future with and I lost her. If I go back, he will too and she will be in danger. Again." I tell her.

"Come on let's get home and we can talk more." She offers.

Aunt Katie and Uncle Derek drive an hour to the small town of Dublin. Katie was right it was going to be a long car ride. She left alone everything I told her and let me relax on the way to their house. Derek talked to her about dinner and Saturday date night, they're on a bowling league? Huh, never would have expected that. I turn my phone back on and see three voice mails. I bring my phone up to my ear.

"First Voice Call at 520pm on Monday" My voice mail states.

"Hey. I just wanted to let you know I'm grabbing drinks with my boss and some coworkers at the bar right down the road from the office. I'll text you the address. I'll see you later." Sara hangs up. I close my eyes and tears fall from my face.

I am back in Bangor. I watch as Sara comes out of the building and search for my truck. I was too far away for her to see me. I watch as she calls me. I feel the vibration of my phone when she calls. All I want to do is answer it. But I can't.

"Are you sure you're going to be able to leave?" His voice asks standing beside me.

"As long as you leave her alone, I'd do anything." I tell him as I let the call go to voice mail.

"You must truly love her if you're willing to leave her forever." Connor states with a sarcastic laugh. "I'm leaving in twenty minutes. Our phones will pin every time we move from a location that way we know both of us are keeping our word." He tells me.
