His Undying Love ✓

9.

So it was finally time for my birthday and my grandma Delilah was coming to visit. I love my grandma so much, she was the only adult back then who knew about Ash and I....... Yeah my mom found out too.

I'll be turning twenty-five and I can't really say I'm excited, I mean I'm getting older and I'm still alone unlike everyone around me.

Zack and Faye were crazy about each other

Charlie, Ash's friend was hitting it off with my assistant Kim

Ash and Kayla were still the perfect couple.

As for me, I was still single, lonely and turning twenty-five.... Isn't life just great. Note the sarcasm. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them, I just feel....I don't know, left out.

I went downstairs and was having breakfast. Mom, dad and Faye came down soon after and joined me.

"Hows my princess doing this morning?" Dad kissed my forehead as I greeted them good morning

"I'm fine dad" I continued eating

"So how do you plan to celebrate your birthday sweetie.... what kind of theme would you like for your party?" Mom inquired

"I don't know mom... how about I just leave the planning to you and Faye" Faye's face immediately brightened with excitement

"Really?" Faye asked and I nodded

"Oh my, I'm so excited. It's going to be the best birthday ever" Faye said enthusiastically. She started discussing the preparations with mom. Dad must have noticed I wasn't that excited as he placed his hands on top mine

"Are you sure you are okay princess?" I just smiled and excused myself. Dad had given me few days off to plan my birthday.

Since I gave that responsibility to Faye and Mom, I had time to myself. Here I was still wearing my pyjamas as I cuddled with my pillow. I was thinking about my life and where it was headed at the moment.

What's going to become of me now? I was finally letting go of the feelings I have for Ash....more like trying to let go actually. I still can't stop loving him. No matter how hard I tried, he's still the only one my heart longs for.

I was still thinking of so many things when Dad knocked on the door. I told him to come in. He came in and saw me lying down but, I sat up as he took a sit beside me on my bed

"What's up Dad?" I tried to joke with him

"I should be the one asking you that princess" I just smiled, averting my eyes "is this about Ash?" I was kinda startled because he actually guessed right

"What? Of course not. Ash and I are history already Dad" I said looking at everything else but him and he chuckled

"I know when you're lying princess besides, I'm not a child. You can't fool me" I sighed, resting my head on his chest

"I'm trying to move on dad but, it's not easy. I.. I can't just forget my love for him" I whispered

"You don't have to forget your love for him. I know it's hard, not being with the one you love. Believe me, I know exactly how you feel but, I just don't want you to ruin your life like this. If Ash and you are truly meant to be together then, believe it that it might only be delayed but not denied" he said stroking my hair

"But I don't know what to do anymore. He loves Kayla now and.... I just don't know dad" I sobbed

"You know what?" He said after a moment of silence

"What?" I said wiping my nose

"How about you travel away for sometime, so you can get yourself together. You can heal a little by so doing" I thought about it for a while
