Like mother like daughter | Paul McCartney (COMPLETE)

Part 17 - She left home

"Well this should be interesting to hear.."

Roger looked at me dauntingly.
It seemed scary but at the same time, pitiful.

"I didn't want to do it Roger. Not with Paul, not with anyone at all, if it weren't for you who ignored me for years!"

"You were never there for me when I needed you the most... you were never there when Cecilia fell from that slide and I literally had to run her down to the hospital! You were never there when my parents invited us for their anniversary and I had to go alone, by myself, whilst you were... vacationing somewhere with your secretary! I had to spend the last 13 years alone on our anniversary Roger!... You were never there for me!"

"Do you even realize the number of times I had to lie to my mother when she asked me if I was happy with you? And you know why I did that? Because a part of me kept on telling me, over and over again... He still loves you.. he still loves you.. he just doesn't know it yet... he will come back to you and will accept you again... but.. you never really did!"

"I was desperate Roger.. I was desperate for you to love me back and when you didn't... I- *heavy prolonged sigh*"

"You slept with Paul"

I couldn't continue.

"Do you love him?"

Roger asked after a brief pause, making me look up at him.

"What?"

"Paul. Do you love him?"

I felt as if something was choking me upright, preventing me from saying things.

I didn't know how to begin.

"Y'know your silence is telling me a lot already..."

Roger chuckled nervously.

I led out a heavy sigh.

"I have always loved him.. and I still do.. yes.. yes I love him.. I love Paul.."

That didn't take much time to say.

Roger nodded his head, as he brought his hands over his mouth.

"Right I think there really isn't much to say except... for you to leave..."

My eyes widen at his words.

"What?"

"I don't think that I can be with you after... all of this and besides... you clearly love him now.. and not me. I do not intend to hurt you more than I have already. I think it will be good for both of us if you just leave..."

I was surprised at his words.

He didn't seem angry, nor sad. He was awfully calm and that scared me.

"But Roger..."

However he didn't let me finish.

"Just leave"

Paul's POV:-

I tried calling her so many times but she didn't pick up. Not even once.

She clearly didn't want to be with me.

Good job Paul! Not only did you lose Katniss but even made her despise you.

Of course she'd despise me.

Because of me, she now has a strained relationship with Cecilia.

Katniss was already so unhappy with Roger and she was her only hope from that marriage, which I took away from her as well.

Could I be any better?

I got up from my couch, making my way to the cabinet to get my zillionth drink for the night when suddenly, my doorbell rang.

It was 1:30 am and it was also raining heavily.

I crept my way to the door and looked through the peephole.

My eyeballs almost fell out of it's place.

Was it really Katniss or did I have too many drinks for tonight?

I opened the door and to my surprise, it really was Katniss and she was... crying?

"Katniss? Wha-"

She instantly wrapped her arms around me and started crying loudly.

"Katniss, what happened? Why are you here so late..? Where's Roger?"

"I left him Paul! I left Roger!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Katniss pressed her soaked, wet body closer to mine, fisting a handful of my shirt in her smaller hands and hugging me tight.

"I couldn't help myself Paul... I tried but I couldn't. I told everything to Roger because I was sick of living a life of lies. I always wanted to be with you Paul and I still want to be with you... I only want to be with you..."

I cupped her face and pulled her into a long, passionate kiss.

This kiss felt so different than all the other ones we have had prior.

This wasn't arousing or lustful. It was affectionate and deep.
I felt her lips on top of mine in a way I had never felt before.
It felt strange, but in a good, delightful way.

And in that one kiss, I knew what I wanted now.

Everything was just right before me, clear as crystal.
And my heart fluttered with unbridle joy.

"I am never letting you go now... I am never letting you go anywhere now.. you will stay with me... and be with me.. you will stay with me now.."
