Chapter Forty Seven

Axel

It was going on midnight and I felt the emptiness in the room, the lack of love coming from the body next to me. It's like the second things recovered from her dad and her I was out of the picture, but maybe I always had been. She told me she wasn't coming home and I thought this idea of hers shouldn't be taken too seriously but her mind seems set now.

I got up and rubbed my face before checking my phone, ten missed calls from my mother appear and cursed under my breath before looking back at Stormi.

I got up and walked out of the guest bedroom before calling her back.

"Where are you mister!" she snapped through the phone.

"I'm in Michigan mom."

"The party is in less than forty-eight hours! Get on that jet in L.A and get here we don't have much time!" she yelled.

"Not yet mom. I need to talk to Delaney about some things."

"Bring her with then, I don't care at this point. If that's what brings you here then bring her. Get on a plane by tomorrow." she hung up on me before I could argue back.

I cursed under my breath and slid down the wall trying to breathe normally.

Did she even want to be with me?

Whats going on with her?

I walked back into the bedroom and picked up my suitcase and unplugged my charger.

"Axel what are you doing?" she grumbled moving from the bed.

I looked up from her and saw her silhouette at the door before the lights blinded me for a second.

"Shit!" I cursed.

Stormi walked towards me and looked at the bag and charger in my hand.

"Are you leaving?" she asked me shocked.

"My mother called me and I need to get back to L.A." I couldn't look at her.

"Were you even going to say goodbye?" she asked suddenly.

"I didn't want to wake you up." If I looked at her I'd see she never wanted anything.

"We need to talk about some things Axel."

"Can we later, I got to get back to L.A." I closed my bag and she grabbed my arm causing me to look at her.

"I can't go back to L.A." she stared at me waiting for me to fight but I'm tired, exhausted to fight right now.

"If that's what you truly believe then I won't stop you." I responded.

"What?" she was shocked, I heard it in her voice.

"I can't force you to follow me around, besides I can't force you to love me."

"I think we need to go our separate ways."

"If that's what you need to live your life here then I'll be happy to oblige, I just wished you didn't play with my heart for so long." I started to walk out of the room.

"I didn't play you Axel." which caused me to stop.

"Then what are you doing letting me go?"

"We come from different worlds."

"A lot of people come from different countries and that doesn't stop them." with that I left, not wanting to hear anymore excuses.

"Axel!" she called out to me but now it was her turn to chase after me, that is if she wanted to chase after me. The would tell me if Stormi truly loved me, she could say it, but I would believe it but still leave because I'm not from this world and deep down I know she isn't either. Her past is here and being here for too long would make anyone go crazy.
