UNCAPPED: HIM & I

Chapter One

After Hayden left with the divorce papers, I was never the same. He broke me. He took my strength along with him. I started isolating myself from everyone. I became a duplicate of myself. Physically I was alive but emotionally I was Dead!.
I don't even recognise the person I see in the mirror anymore.

Days passed I thought I would get better but I was deceiving myself, it only got worse. I spent many days locked up in my room, crying my eyes out. Friends would come to check up on me. I wouldn't even utter a single word. Everyone was worried but I did not care at all. I wanted Hayden and only him by my side. He is the only one who would be able to get me out of this misery.

Thinking about him was all I could do and the memories, those intense moments we shared kept me going. That is the only reason that kept me to stay sane.

My mind drifted away to the day when we first met. We were so young and full of life.

******Flashback******

It was one of days when you wish you could stay in bed all day long, locked inside and watch romo-com movies while stuffing yourself with junk.

I wish I could do that but I had to go somewhere. The is an Art festival which I'm suppose to go to support my friend as she would be show casting her Artwork there. As lazy as I'm I had to go as I promised to come. I drag my feet and went to get ready leaving my bed as it is I'm gonna see it later thats the nicest thing about having to stay alone without parents telling you what to do and not what to do.

Here I was standing in front of my friend Hazel's artwork station.

"Thank you for coming friend I thought you were not coming anymore, what took you so long lazy bun" she says as she is smirking i know she wants to annoy me.

"Just be thankful im here" I say as I roll my eyes she giggles and hug me she has achieved to annoy me.

I smile and say "Nice work by the way although I dont understand the meaning behind the splashes of different colour scheme on this artwork" I say as I point one of the big canvas im looking at.

"Its not a colour scheme Jen, let me explain it to you" she gushes you could hear the excitement as she replies.

"Hazel! Hazel! the is someone looking for you, Come along" someone inturups before she could explain.

"Oh I'm coming Suzzie. I'm so sorry Jen I'm coming I'll be back just now' Hazel says looking frustrated.

"Its okay friend go ahead I'll be waiting for you' I immediately say not wanting her to feel guilty ditching me.

She rushes over to follow the person who just called her. I focus back to the portrait of my friend and try to understand what the hell is going on. This might cost a fortune, a typical colour splashes portrait. Even I could do it. Take paints and splash it on a canvas no big deal and call my self an artist. I laugh silently at my thoughts.

"It must be reminding you of someone for you to be smiling this way how, I wish I was this potrait" I'm taken back by this deep voice behind me.

I dont turn but continue to look at the potrait.

"Nothing as such I'm just trying to understand this portrait"

"It must be intresting thoughts"

"Just silly and useless thoughts" he does not reply.

I wonder if he is still there I dont mind that but look at the potrait to try figure it out. The is something about it that just lure your mind. I cant exactly pin point it.

"Beautiful and Artistic isnt it' the mystery voice blubers again. I thought he went away.

"I wish I could say the same but I can't understand it although its very intresting and captures one's eye"

'Wow one could swear you know art the way you concentrating and focused on it!. Art is an imigination. You understand the potrait you don't realize it"

I want to turn look at this deep vocalist artisic person but before i can do it he talks.

"Clear your mind and close your eyes"

I feel his presence behind me.I hesitate to do as he says but shrug the feeling off and close my eyes.

"Am I not suppose to see the portait' He shush me and put his hand in my shoulders.

'Relax! Think of all the colours we have or you can think off. The colours you thinking off label them with emotions or anything that comes to mind such as Blue for Water and so on"

My mind drift off as I label the colours my way
Red for love
White for pure
Green for Grass
Brown for Warmness
Black for Evil

"Now with that in mind open your eyes and look at the potrait in front of you"

I open my eyes and gasp in shock "Wow" I utter as I look at the potrait.

It seems like the artist was in deep surrow when he made this the red splashes on top of the brown combinated with various light colours and the sudden red splash that crosses with the coulours dominating it.

"Hazel" I silently say as I start to think of her, its her potrait. I have to chat with her. I snap back to reality and quickly turn to the person beside me wanting to thank him. Oh Boy! He attractive we stare at each other I'm drawn to his Ocean Blue eyes. He smirks and lift his hand for a handshake .

"Hi. Iam Hayden Jones" I take my hand to meet his for a handshake tiggles shot through my hand and feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Uhmm...I...Hey Iam Jennifer..Jennifer Scherelz"I stutter. Get a grip of yourself Jennifer and smile.

"Nice to meet you Jennifer" My cheeks blushes as they turn red. I cant help but blush and look down, Im intimidated in 6 at me with his brown eyes.

*********************
I smile at the thought how I wish we could go back to what we had.

I stand up from the bed looking at his clean side of the bed. Realization hit me that he hasn't come back home since he last demanded me to sign the divorce papers. Not wanting to think about that right know. I grab my silky gown and go downstairs to the lounge.

Marching down the stairs. I go straight ahead where the potrait is displayed. The potrait that bought us together. Yes!Yes! Hazel's Potrait, he gifted me on our 3rd anniversary no words can describe how happy I was. He made my friend a rich artist as he explained that he had to beg her to sell it to him.

Never thought that it would be a reminder of our love, we were bought together by this potrait. I dont regret waking up to go to the art festival, I wouldn't change anything about that day.

Looking at the framework portrait. The love and affection I have showered him with plays itself in my mind. He can't change and forget all the moments we share.

No! Hayden wont do this to me. Its one of his pranks his going to say he was joking. Why am I even thinking that he would leave me, he won't do that even in my wildest dreams.

I smile as I stare at the potrait. Let me go eat and clean myself up and wait for him maybe he is on a business trip and he must've forgot to notify me. I laugh at my stupidity. He would never leave me. He loves me.

'Yes!'

He loves me doesn't he? I ponder as i smile and brush my rough hair with my fingers. I head back to the bedroom to clean myself up and wait for my husband to come Home.
